Imagine your phone rings and the voice claims to be from a government‑backed call‑blocking service, asking for your card details to stop nuisance calls. This pattern matches a widespread scam where callers use the Telephone Preference Service name to gain trust. Never share personal or financial information with unsolicited callers, and always verify the organisation by contacting TPS directly via their official website. Hang up if you feel pressured, block the number, and report the incident to Action Fraud or the Information Commissioner’s Office. Keeping a log of call times and exact wording can help authorities investigate the fraud.
