"Industrial hearing claims / clinic" they claim that people have worked in the industrial sector and have lost hearing due to the work they have undertaken; this is utter claptrap as I myself have never worked in industry nor lost hearing due to it... Other numbers they use included 01782 479 266 and 01782479932

SCABS at the so called hearing industrial clinic / claims etc etc they keep calling they're not in stoke on trent as they claim to be using a sot number aka 01782; but using an automated mask to hide their real identity .. Its time this bunch of scum were stopped.....number today they used was 0001782479266 Calling it back it becomes a dead tone..
Keeps calling,it is becoming a pest t say the least
Rings mobile and landline several times a day. Never anyone there and never leave message. Tried ringing back but they put phone down
Got repeat calls from this number. Eventually answered one, and it's some hearing loss claim company. They had my correct name which is surprising, as this is a brand new number and I haven't used it much or registered it with anyone.
Had this recently - if you don't say anything when they answer they ask for a person. Think they're scanning numbers to see if they're online and then they'll launch whatever scam they have planned. Last time this happened (last year), they were doing some kind of Vodafone scam for a free tablet and when I told them it was blatantly a scam they got incredibly rude - so I know it wasn't them. They said they'd email me and asked for my address - told them that if they were legit, they would have that on file as my contact details. I'd just answer and string them along - why not? :-)
This caller spoke when I answered the call today and they are a hearing loss compensation insurance firm, who asked about my claim, which I haven't got
Had a voicemail left yesterday with just some mumbling, and today another call which hung up after 2 seconds
been ringing my mobile for past few days and when you ring back its engaged the whole time but when you answer they put the phone down , it only rings my mobile not landline
Keeps ring about 3 times a day when I answer they just out the phone down.
Same as above. Keeps ringing, rude comments then put the phone down.
This number keeps calling and making snide, rude comments and puts the phone down
