Repeatedly, callers from this number masquerade as police, CID agents or reputable firms, pressing victims to reveal personal data or make payments. Such impersonation exploits trust and often references foreign jurisdictions to confuse recipients. Scam tactics include urgent language, fabricated security questions and fake invoices. Protect yourself by never disclosing ID numbers, credit‑card details or OTPs to unsolicited callers, even if they sound official. Verify any claim through an independent channel, block the number on your device and report it to your carrier or the relevant authority. Maintaining a habit of questioning unexpected requests safeguards your privacy and reduces fraud risk.
Persistent ringing with no message left. Annoying and unwanted, whatever it was.
Clear scam, claimed I won a prize but wanted payment details. Dodged that one.

A scammer claiming to represent our energy company contacted us, citing a discrepancy with our meter read, but their story fell apart when they mentioned multiple companies working together due to COVID
A call was received from this number, claiming to be from Barclaycard, but the provision of incorrect information raised suspicions, particularly when they requested the expiry date after initially stating a new card was being sent.
A woman with an Asian accent claimed to be sending me a new visa card and instructed me to stop using my current one. She then asked for my current card details, at which point I ended the call and blocked the number.
It's likely that this number is indeed a scam, and caution should be exercised when interacting with it.
This particuler number 02895810626 is a nuisance
This number, 02895810626, keeps popping up, but i dont know whats its about
Der Anrufer war ein legitimes (wenn auch Kaltakquise‑) Unternehmen. Ich erwähnte, dass die Nummer als hohes Risiko angezeigt wird. Man erklärte, dass sie Skype für internationale Gespräche nutzen – daher kann diese Nummer bei Skype‑Nutzern erscheinen.
Despite being a cold call, the caller represented a legitimate company, and they explained that their number was flagged as high risk because they use Skype for international calls, which can cause numbers to appear suspiciously
The caller claimed to be from Windows Security Support, which seems dubious
Legitimate company using Skype for international calls
In a panic, I dialed 08000485419 thinking I was contacting Yahoo help due to a suspected hack. Subsequently, I got a call back from 02895810626 claiming that I had been hacked and requested remote access to my computer. Fortunately, I recalled TV programs discussing how hackers operate and declined their request, despite having provided my PayPal account name and date of birth by that point.
Discovering a scam from two years back recently has made me anxious about unknown callers. This site has been a lifesaver, offering much-needed reassurance. Reading others' experiences here has shielded me once again, many thanks.
Very annoying, no one answered!
It's perplexing that a blocked number from Belfast was able to contact me; the voice was instantly recognisable, and the call was terminated
Answered to hear an ear-piercing screech ???
Warnung: Diese Nummer wird als schlecht bewertet, also besser nicht erwidern, lol, keine Lust.
Brugerens vurdering: Utilfredsstillende oplevelse
Bad experience noted
The caller claimed to be from TalkTalk IT, requesting to change my IP address due to supposed misuse of my home IP. This was complete nonsense. Please be cautious!
