The calls from +442037699592 are almost certainly from scammers, often posing as representatives from companies like PhoneGuard or Guard UK. They typically offer services to protect against unwanted calls, such as an updated call-blocking device, but at a hefty price—often around £170 to £179. Some callers have even managed to trick elderly individuals into buying these devices, which are available for much less on platforms like Amazon. The scammers often push for banking details before the recipient has agreed to anything, and they can be quite persistent, calling multiple times. If you receive a call from this number, it’s best to hang up immediately and block the number. Don’t engage with them or provide any personal information. If you’re concerned about scam calls, consider using your phone provider’s built-in blocking features or a reputable third-party app.
Unidentified caller left no message. Glad I didn't answer, as this isn't the first time they've rung.
Anruf wegen betrügerischer Anrufen, denen ein Blockgerät gesendet wurde. Habe aufgelegt und hier nach der Nummer gesucht. Ridiculous, täglich Anrufe von verschiedenen Nummern.

This number is associated with scamming activities.
My security phone marked this call as a nuisance, it was a scammer, be aware of such calls
This number was used by a survey scammer, be aware
These scammers managed to convince my father to purchase a £40 device for over £170, and they continue to call him to peddle more fake services
Clearly a scammer, given the pause before speaking and the foreign accent, so I gave them a piece of my mind, fed up with these nuisance calls.
The caller proposed safeguarding against nuisance calls. I believe she mentioned Guard UK as the firm.
When I asked if they had obtained permission from my phone provider to block scam calls, they failed to respond and terminated the call.
They didn't leave a messege.
The caller left a message on my answerphone, but didn't actually leave any information, and the number is not recognised
A caller claiming to represent PhoneGuard stated they were updating their services, but the call seemed untrustworthy, so I terminated it
This number is from scammers posing as UK Call Guard. They offer a call-blocking device for £179, targeting pensioners with a 14-day cooling-off period. They asked for banking details before I even agreed to the offer. I was transferred to a 'line manager' who again requested mailing and banking details. I insisted I wouldn't pay until I received the device. Reluctantly, she agreed to send it without payment but hung up abruptly without confirming my address. No customer care number was provided, so I can't contact them if the device doesn't arrive.
