Persistent harassment defines this phone number, with callers using foreign accents and minor variations to dodge blocks. Reports highlight repeated attempts, often early morning, probing for personal details like addresses or ages under survey pretexts—classic scam tactics. Links to Bellingham and Hexham suggest a local operation, possibly a call centre evading regulations. Block immediately and report to Ofcom or Action Fraud to curb the nuisance. Avoid engaging; verify any claims independently via official channels. Frustrating as they rotate numbers, but vigilance pays off in protecting privacy.
A recent call featured a man with a foreign accent who introduced himself as Mrs M C, said he’d keep it brief, then asked if I lived at a certain address and later inquired about my age group. I ended the call, blocked the number, and warned others about the scam.
Another call arrived from a foreign‑accented man claiming to be Peter; despite blocking several numbers, similar variants keep calling, which is extremely irritating.
One of several nearly identical numbers has been calling daily; even after blocking, a slightly different digit appears each time.
Similar to earlier notes, the calls come from varied numbers originating in Hexham; I block them, yet they keep using new digits.
The 01434 290422 line has been marked as fraudulent in Bellingham; I didn’t answer, and I advise others to avoid it.
Just a scammer on the line, innit.
I've repeatedly requested Consumer First UK to remove me from their call list.
