This number and others very similar call me upto 5 tomes a day. I’ve blocked 20 numbers all relating to this number who they claim to be from national debt assistance but national debt line is a completely different number. Stay clear they are scammers fishing for information and praying on the weak.

Same here! I’m getting up to 10 calls a day from these people, all supposedly from varying towns but after some Google research it seems that it is just one call centre based in New Delhi. They ‘own’ hundreds of these 012 numbers. I have asked them to stop calling, said I’m not interested, tried being polite and being rude. I’ve blocked every number they’ve called from but it’s to no avail. They’re relentless! Mostly I don’t pick up at all but yesterday the area the call showed as coming from, was close to where my parents live, so I picked up in case it was an emergency. But No, it was the same bloody people! 😬
Scammers!!! They called me 2 times today asking for my bank details to Set up a direct debt to pay my debt off monthly!!! I don’t have any debt keep well clear ! Scammers
8th call in 2 days, each time blocked and they called back with a slightly different number. ‘Sam’ from Pakistan wanting to ‘sort out my debt’. I don’t have any. I told him that i’m not interested in his scam and he rambled on about it not being a scam and he would send me documents via WhatsApp to prove it wasn’t a scam. I informed him i didn’t believe him and said again i wasn’t interested and he began swearing at me so i hung up. Do not engage and just block.
called knew my name, I said I wasn't who I was and hung up, I believe this to be same company who I appear to be getting calls from 2-3 times every day saying they are debt management services etc company who i have repeatedly asked to remove me from their database and stop calling.. my block number list is growing exponentially at the moment
Asked for me by name, I answered they then hung up.
