said they were atelegram agency - wouldn't give their name.  Wanted me to confirm my address and date of birth - sounds suspicious

Have received several missed calls from this number.  One of them I answered but they were looking to speak to someone else so I assumed it was just a wrong number.  Since then they have kept calling so I just ignore the call.

neighbour knocked saying this number phoned her asking did i live nextdoor to her

Just received a call from this number asking me to confirm my address as they had an urgent notification for someone they had as resident next door to me and they wanted me to confirm the name of this person.  They claimed to be from what I perceived to be "The Telegrams Office", but investigation has shown this number to belong to a company called Telogram Ltd.  It would appear to be some sort of scam, but from what I have gleaned could be something to do with some sort of debt collection!!!  Whatever it is, I would like to know how they were able to get my phone number simply from an address.

This is a debt collector called Capquest.
They are from hampshire.
They also have a company called Telogram.
Bunch of shysters.
If the're chasing you for money, call their bluff Explain you have no assets are about to lose your job and ask do they want to bankrupt you and get nothing?>

They will have the full BT listing and will ask for numbers at a relevant address

I received a call from this number asking me to confirm my address as they had an urgent notification for someone they had as resident next door to me and they wanted me to confirm the name of this person and if they still lived there.

They claimed to be from a company called Telogram Ltd.

They asked me to pass on a message asking them to call 01252 576 376 and gave me a reference 66B831

My flatmate then told me it was some sort of dodgy scam so will be ignoring them in future.

KEEP GETTING LETTERS FROM THIS COMPANY CALLED CAPQUEST , TELLING ME THEY ARE A DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY , AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WITH THE SAME NAME AS ME , AND HAVE EVEN GONE AS FAR AS THREATNING ME WITH SENDING SOME ONE ROUND TO MY ADDRESS , THEY ARE ALSO NAMED AS TEOCOME , THEY ARE ALSO CALLING THEM SELVES H L LEAGAL SOLICITORS , ALSO EQUIFAX , I NO  ITS SOME KIND OF SCAM BUT I HAVENT WORKED OUT WHAT IT IS YET .IF THEY HAVE CONTACTED YOU , DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY DETAILS THAT THEY DO NOT ALREADY HAVE LIN

I've just had a call from telogram too.  They used my maiden name which I haven't had for over a year and I have changed my name with every company I deal with so I know it's not genuine. He said they were holding a piece of urgent mail for me.  They didn't know my first name, he had a guess but got it wrong.  He said he'd got my number from the telephone book so I think it's about time I went ex-directory as I'm already registered with the telephone preference service.

After checking telogram on Google it brought up all kinds of discussion threads which suggest that telogram are a debt collection agency.  So I checked my credit rating with Experian who showed that I am up to date with everything and nothing new has been applied for in my name.  TELOGRAM ARE OBVIOUSLY SCAM ARTISTS.  Hang up the phone if they call.

I got a call from this no about 830pm asking for details of my next door neighbours son, if he lived there, when he left, did I have a no for him, of which I claimed ignorance to all. Thought it was dodgy. She claimed to be from a courier company in Hants, have a parcel that she wanted to send to him.

Firstly, well done, Ms C, for not giving them any information.  They are fishing for other people's private data in an underhand way, and you did not fall for it. Telling people that they are couriers with undelivered parcels is a common trick.

There is only one shareholder/owner, though it is unclear which of these four people it is. The same address for all of its people sounds suspicious, but maybe it is right. Their business is debt collecting. It appears that they are the owners of that other nuisance firm, Telogram.  Whatever the rights and wrongs of their position, and whether you owe them money or not, they are not allowed to use telephone harassment or speak to your neighbours about you. It is simply illegal.  Any more than one call is harassment and should be reported to the police. In view of the many complaints about this company's misuse of the telephone system, it should also be reported to OFCOM.

They contacted my neighbour via telephone, and said they have tried to contact the telephone number at number 73, however they couldnt get through to us.

(Reason: They didn't even have a telephone number for us in the first place, as our number is EX DIRECTORY and also set to WITHHELD whenever we ring anyone up)

So they must have some how, used my partners name (and our address) in which I have no idea where they have recieved it from. Then done a search for your telephone number but beening EX DIRECTORY not found it, so then thought well next best thing to do, would be to search for the telephone of our next door neighbour.

My partner rang up out of curiosity but was careful not to release any details about himself.

They said they had a telegram message and it was for my partner, giving his full name.

So my partner just said that he wasnt the person they was looking for and gave a false name, but said sorry that person no longer lives here, he was a tenant of ours recently, but he moved out to live back with his parents and we have no address or contact number for him.

This is the second scam I have encountered in less than 2 months, the first scam, they rang my parents telephone number and asked for me not my partner, and I knew I hadnt given my parents telephone number out, unless an extreme emergance, such as on hospital forms as next of kin.

just got a call from them claiming they have mail waiting for me and me like a dumb s**t said my date of birth but they have not got my real add but this Capquest i have had letters from saying i own them money which i did have a credit card and did not pay so guess they are not a scam there just debts from your past giveing you a kick in the butt with this do you think the add they have will have mail going to it as i no who lives there so can always ask them to keep a eye out

I have just had a call from them claiming to be from the telegram office asking if a Roger Dinesh lived at number 33 (a few doors down) asking me to pass on a message to call them with a reference number.

I asked where they got my details and they said from directory enquiries.
I didn't give them any details apart from unwittingly confirming my house number, is there anything I should do??

I received a message on my 1571 - this is Adam from the Telegram office, please call me back on 01252 576376 and quote reference no .... which then when to an automated womans voice ... 80S696. My telephone no has been ex-directory for years and my number is also witheld when making outgoing calls.

I have received two letters from TELOGRAM in the last week... today my elderly next-door-but-one neighbour told us that two scottish men had been to her house asking if I still lived here.

I do owe money to a few companies, which I am in the process of paying off and not one of them has informed me that they have sold my debt to a collection agency -- so I have no idea who these people are acting on behalf of, or why they are being so shady.

Check with your neighbours people.

recieved a strange call looking for my partner. we are ex-directory and have a witheld number. how do they get our phone no? said they had a package for him and knew his parents address. i said to deliver it there. very dodgy...

Missed call this morning at 09:37

They called our accountants and asked for us to call them with reference no etc etc they gave no details at all regarding why they were contacting us other than they were a mail forwarding company. They were clearly shady to say the least and I told them I had no desire to talk to them (though not in those exact words) Suggest you guys do the same.
