Watch out for unsolicited calls pitching cheaper phone lines, especially when the caller remains silent or hangs up immediately. Many users report the same number claiming to be from a telecom provider, often using an Indian accent and offering to reduce your bill or sell a new line rental. These contacts are typically telemarketing scams that rely on persistence and vague promises. Do not share personal or payment details, and ask the caller to remove your number from their database – confirm this in writing if possible. Use your phone’s block feature, report the number to Action Fraud and Ofcom, and consider a call‑filtering service to curb future harassment.
I get calls from this place every day, now I just pick it up and leave my tv on in the background till they hang up, I'm 71 years old and compleatly fed up with it
They hang up when you ask to remove
This seems like a telecom scam. The caller had an Indian accent. I told him off and blocked the number.
A lady with an Indian accent introduced herself as a represantative of Sparta Telecom, requesting to discuss my finances, which I was skeptical of, and when questioned about the origin of my number, she claimed it was from their database, which I pointed out was a violation of GDPR, and she assured me my number would be removed, which remains to be seen!
According to this site, this number has been in use since January 2018—nearly four years ago now!
Seems like a telemarketing centre. Mentioned Sparta Telecom and some personal details. Called on Easter Monday, showing no regard for holidays. Reported to Fraud UK as it feels illegal, not just cold calling.
Before picking up, I checked the number on this website.
This number has called me multiple times, which is becoming a nuisance.
The recorded message about having too many remote controls was utterly absurd, and it's frustrating that such calls often occur on Fridays, leaving one unable to take action until Monday.
Don't answer this nuisance call; it's driving my daughter crazy. Someone should take action.
Unidentified by BT Call Guardian - Leads me to presume it's either a scammer or a call centre. I've added it to my block list.
Second call recieved, silence only
This number is being used by a company falsely claiming to be 'Britian Telecom' to tout their phone services.
Immediately hung up - what absolute idiots.
While I appreciate the opportunity to express frustration about these calls on this platform, I believe it would be more beneficial to have access to the names of the companies responsible, enabling us to take action against them.
Call received but not answered
After contacting Sparta Telecom and requesting that my number be removed, I was assured that it would be taken off their list
Silent caler driving me crazyy
As someone who sympathises with call centre workers, it is frustrating when they can be inconsiderate, as was the case with the fifth call from this number today.
This number is associated with tele marketing, and I have found their calls to be a complete waste of time.
It appears to be a rather inconsiderate individual, given the lack of response when the call was answered??
Ringing with no response
Its a call centre companey
Silence on the line
Other comments reveal a clear pattern
Reading other peoples coment's makes it clear, dont bother
Cheaper line rental offered.
Unwanted landline sales call.
I rushed downstairs to answer the phone, but there was no one there, then they hung up, its most annoying, whats the point of that.
Claimed to reduce phone bill
