The number appears to be a Leicester geographic landline, allocated to Vodafone Ltd (C&W), not a mobile or premium rate number. Multiple caller reporting sites associate it with aggressive “Take Payments” or payment processor scam calls, so answering or returning an unexpected call is not advisable. 1. The number is formatted domestically as 0116 201 8000, a Leicester area fixed line. Public lookup services identify Vodafone Ltd (C&W) as the carrier, but do not establish a verified business owner. 2. Online comments are predominantly negative. Reports describe pushy or suspicious calls, harassment, advertising, and callers allegedly presenting themselves as “Take Payments.” Tellows lists six harassment reports and several scam related labels. 3. It is associated online with suspected payment processor scams, aggressive telemarketing, and unwanted calls. The evidence consists of user reports rather than an official finding, and caller ID can be spoofed; a displayed UK number does not prove the call originated from that line. 4. The number is publicly exposed in reverse phone directories and spam report databases, including Truecaller, Tellows, Who Calls.me.uk, and CallFilter. No reliable evidence was found in the searched sources showing that this exact number appears in a confirmed breach, leaked dataset, paste site, classified advertisement, or social media profile. 5. Do not call it back unless the caller’s identity is independently verified through an official channel. UK communications guidance warns against returning unexpected calls from unfamiliar numbers, while fraud guidance recommends avoiding personal, banking, or payment disclosures during unsolicited calls.

Call asking for the need to take card payments, I said it wasn't necessary for our business, he then said he "didn't believe me". Very pushy, would not recommend whoever they are!

I've received almost daily calls from this number to my company line and if I try to answer they hang up, and if I don't answer they never leave a message. They are wasting their time and resources as well as my time as I would never buy from a cold caller.

several calls from them every time I've said I'm not interested but they keep calling. The last caller got very rude, abusive and aggressive when I told him again I wasn't interested. Not the behaviour you'd expect from a genuine company so it must be a scam.

I've been getting calls from this number nonstop for weeks. They never leave a voicemail, and as soon as I pick up, they hang up. Blocking the number hasn't helped either, they just keep calling from different ones. It's beyond frustrating, it feels like pure harassment!
