00501

These pests are enriching the phone companies, and the Treasury, so it's not in the interest of TPS, ICO, or any other Government Quango to  interfere in the abuse of unsolicited calling even though it is an EU Directive(PECR2003) which applies to all EU member States, including the UK. Phone providers sell various facilities like, Anonymous Caller Reject, Call Barring, for around £100 per anum for both; so you can imagine the revenue this generates for the Government. The most effective way to deal with this pestering is to get the national media involved, because they have no vested interest, or gain from these companies.

Another call from this number and no one there

Eric from PPI Claims Line first called from "00501" asking for someone who the scammers have ask for before and mentioned an address they have also used before (neither of which are anything to do with me.)  
I told him the line was bad, so he offered to, and did, phone me back from a different phone "002392987559".
He gave the same rubbish about having paid off my loan that he could get me money back from the PPI insurance because I hadn't claimed on it.  He told me I had paid off my loan on time and I was of good character (despite not knowing my name.)  He wanted to know which bank I had got my loan from.  He claimed he had the information, but he couldn't tell me because of security issues. I told him it was obviously a scam and that I would report him and I hung up.

Call Type: Scam

Just had a call from them and they claimed to be calling from Microsoft saying they were receiving error codes from my computer. They said they had to sort it out and when I told them they were a scam they went all defensive and tried to get me to turn on my computer etc. HANG UP ON THEM.

looks like this is still happening, 00501. it was an indian woman asking me to take a survey on charities, i said i give to charities and thats all she needs to know, she then said she just needed yes or no answers, i told her its no to all so goodbye and hung up. not sure who the company was but its bound to be a con, lot of background noise, call centre

I had several missed calls from(00501) this number. whats this????

I have just got a call from this number and the person sounded Asian They asked do I have a sky dish, do I  own my home They Knew my post code. I hung up after hearing clicks after each answer. I began to think it was suspicious

Got a call from this number yesterday - have had quite a few - nobody there!

Just had a call from man claiming that he can get me money back from old PPI.  After  shouting down the phone to him 7 times, telling hime
I have never had a loan in my life, he finally put the phone down.  I have now got a whistle by the side of my phone, I will give the next cold calling pest a headache ten times worse than they are giving me.  If they call you about your pc, tell them you are 86 and do not have a computer, it normally works.

Have added them all to my auto reject list but new numbers keep calling....seriously thinking about changing my number!!

I got a call today from 00501 . It was an Indian guy  saying that everyone in the UK that has a bank account is owed money becuase the govenment has ordered the banks to refund hidden charges plus 8% interest.
He we obviously then leading up to asking me bank account details so I told him to p**s off  and hung up.

I just got a call from these, I never answered but it's just a long line of people trying to phone me. So far today (and it's not even 11.30am) I've had 0, then unavailable, then 00, then 000, then unavailable again now 00501.  6 calls in a few hours. It's been the same for about a week, up to 10 calls a day from 0, 00, 000 and unavailable. Now this new number. It's ridiculous and TalkTalk do NOT care!

this is the number of Microsoft

can you stop this number

Anup; either you're a troll or one of the scammers based in an Indian call centre.

What I'm absolutely certain of, is that this number is definitely not Microsoft Support calling to solve a (non-existent) virus problem.  Nor is it a legitimate financial/legal company dealing with PPI repayment claims or loans.

The callers from 00501 are SCAMMERS, FRAUDSTERS and CRIMINALS.

My advice is to not verify or give any personal details AT ALL.  Get yourself a CALL BLOCKER (Google it) and block unwanted calls.

report it to ofcom

Asked if I had made a motor insurance claim in the last 24 month. Bad line, and poor english. I hung up.
