Expert Opinion
Recent complaints highlight a flood of calls from +44 300 555 0285 purporting to be TV Licensing, many of which turn out to be fraudulent. Callers often demand immediate payment, personal details or a rushed decision, and they frequently repeat the message even after you ask them to stop. To protect yourself, always verify the caller against the official TV Licensing numbers (0300 790 6075, 0300 555 0285, 0300 555 0355). Never share bank details, address or date of birth over the phone unless you have initiated the call on the genuine website. Use call‑blocking features, report suspicious numbers to the regulator and keep a written record of any contact.

Received a scam call regarding TV licence, avoid answering
A legitimate call from the TV licence organisation informed me that my payment was overdue, and I explained that I was temporarily away on holiday and would settle the matter upon my return.
TV Licence again... I’m disabled and rely on others for help, including payments. I’m 95% paid up and make regular payments, but sometimes I’m a few pounds short. They always get their money, but they never stop chasing for small amounts like £2.50 or £6.50. They’re quick to demand but never say thank you when I’m in credit. Rude! Rant over.

I recieved an unsolicited call, and after hearing a woman say hello, I terminated the call and checked online, thankfully, and I wish these people would leave us alone, especally since I'm on sick leave and have limited finances, it's appaling how they target innocent people.
Absolutly discraceful that they are phoning me about owing £10 towards next years licence, I always pay on the 31st, can't they just wait, it's just a way for some BBC executive to get a bonus, someone needs to cancell this licence fee

Received a call today, and after checking here, I searched on the official TV Licensing website. It turns out they use three numbers to reach out - 0300 790 6075, 0300 555 0285, or 0300 555 0355. These numbers are mentioned in their downloadable information leaflets.
A message was left claiming to be from TV Licensing, but after verifying with the actual TV Licensing office, it was confirmed to be a scam, as my license is valid and there was no reason for them to contact me.

Scammers seem to be mimicking this authentic TV License number. Adhere to standard precautions for cold calls. Never disclose personal information, not even your name. Always inquire, 'Who are you? What do you want?' Employ common sense, but always suspect scammers aiming for your bank details or personal information they can sell. Verify the caller online if needed. TV license payments should be made through the official website via direct debit.
I dont think its really tv licensing, we dont have a tv here and they called my shop number, we told them that like 7 years ago
