Multiple complaints indicate the caller repeatedly pretends to be from the Telephone Preference Service, asking for card expiry dates, bank details or personal identifiers. Such behaviour matches classic scam tactics that exploit trust in a free, government‑run service. If a call asks for any personal details – especially credit‑card numbers, passwords or PINs – hang up immediately and verify the request via the official TPS website or by contacting your provider directly. Use call‑blocking tools, register with the real TPS, and never confirm information to unsolicited callers. Report the number to your phone provider and to the national fraud reporting service to help curb these fraudulent attempts.
The caller only said "Hello", and since I've encountered this number previously, I suspect it's a scam.
Apparently, this telephone preference service requested my credit card details, which seems unusual since this service is suppost to be free.
A man with an Asian accent called, claiming to be from the telephone preference service to 'update' my information. He had my name and address but began asking about direct debits and card information, so I hung up. The TPS is supposed to be a free service, and there's no reason for them to need DD or card info - this seems like a scam, and I didn't want to find out more.
The call resulted in silence.
Similar to other comments, claimed to be from a call-blocking service but already had my personal details. I ended the call when they mentioned debit cards.
Answered, but there was no one on the other end, so I disconnected

02039041204 Claimed to be from the Telephone Preference Service, stating they were enhancing international scam blocking but needed card details update. Mentioned a letter sent a week prior, which I hadn't received. Noted the term 'Mail box,' uncommon in the UK. Requested email and mobile number. Refused to provide details over the phone, suggesting they send another letter. The call ended abruptly without courtesy. No legitimate company would behave this way. Added to block list.
