Verify any phone numbers before dialling, especially those provided during customer service redirects or queries about charges. This number connects to a premium rate service, often used in scams to extract high fees—up to £6 per minute in some cases. Scammers trick people by inserting it into legitimate contexts, like bank disputes or utility calls, leading to unexpected bills. Block it immediately on your device, and report to your telecom provider for blacklisting. If billed, contact your bank or phone company promptly for refunds. Always double-check official contact details directly from company websites to sidestep these traps.
Instructed to dial this after questioning a bank deduction. It's a rip-off premium line. Good thing my provider stopped the connection.
Attempted to reach a nearby hotel. Got directed here instead. It's a premium-rate line. Steer clear.
Quite odd… I dialled the Saga policy number to cancel and was directed to this one instead? They then claimed it was a premium line charging £6 to proceed.
Contacted OVO Energy, they suggested calling this number, but I declined
FRAUD.
Attempted to contact my local council but omitted the area code. The instructions directed me to press 5 for urgent help, providing this number to call, and asking me to note it and confirm. I didn't proceed, as it's clearly a premium line and fraudulent.
Attempted to reach Amex, but the call routed to this instead. FRAUD
Obviously a bogus outfit.
Attempted to contact Nationwide bank using the top Google-listed number, but they claimed I'd reached the incorrect section. Refused to share their identity and insisted I dial a premium line instead. Bloody annoying, that.
