The number +44 8431 786527 appears to be a UK based line, but no reliable, authoritative trace of a specific owner or fixed assignment is found in the available sources. Online chatter indicates mixed results from multiple reverse lookup services, with varying reliability and potential marketplaces advertising such lookups. 1. Ownership/type: Inconclusive; several UK number check tools classify the number generally as a UK line, but none provide a verified owner. Likely a landline or non geographic UK number based on prefixes used by some services, but confirmation is unavailable. 2. What people say online: Mixed reports from various “who called me” and reverse lookup sites, featuring generic warnings or user submitted notes; no consensus confirmation of a legitimate business or clear scam claim. 3. Association with scams: No definitive evidence confirming or denying scams; some reports appear as generic warnings from users of lookup services, but reliability is uncertain. 4. Public exposure/leak: The number appears in multiple public lookup databases and spam report sites, suggesting it is publicly searchable; no confirmed data breach or leaked exclusive listing tied to this exact number. 5. Advisability to answer: Caution advised; given ambiguous ownership and mixed online signals, avoid calling back until verifiable ownership or purpose is established.

10Calls in the middle of the night totals over £40 in one month. Scam from Ingenico/Worldpay.
calls made during the night to update card machines.costs vary from a few pounds up to £40.00.
AS OTHER COMMENTS, I HAVE ACCRUED CHARGES FOR CALLS TO THIS PREMIUM RATE NUMBER ALL IN THE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING. IM SO DISGUSTED THAT THIS ALLOWED BUT COMPLETELY EXPECTED...MY TERMINAL WAS PROVIDED BY PAYMENTSENSE WHO HAVE SO MANY HIDDEN CHARGES OVER AND ABOVE THEIR CONTRACT TERMS...AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
I am not even with Worldpay but it appears it is Ingenico who actually supply my terminal. I have just had a £17 charge. I also have at least £1 every month. I think that it is shocking that they use such an expensive way. I am happy to connect to the internet for an update periodically but it’s so unreliable where I am that I need the phone line connection. If they are charging me they should at least send an invoice/receipt. Then I wouldn’t have wasted an entire day trying to sort it out!!
Having spoken to my provider after having 5 calls go out from my card machine totalling £19.51 on one day this is a software update which occurs every 18months-2yrs. You can avoid this and all the other weekly/monthly small charges but connecting to your router instead of your phone line. It took me a few minutes to do with the help of my provider and apparently the machine will now use the internet so no more charges!
I presume from previous comments that this number is Worlpay updating our credit card terminal. We're not even with Worlpay any more
my terminal called this number twice for 1 hr 20 mins and cost £11 - sneaky buggers do this accidentally to everyone and I guess very few people notice and even less have the energy to complain!
I think it's worldpay calling me to update their terminal £18.00 in charges. What can I do?
My payment terminal must have called this number at midnight, call lasted over an hour costing £12. Worldpay should be ashamed using premium rate number for terminal updates.
this number is being dialed by my woeld pay machine in the night resulting in a £18.10 charge in one night , ..this has happened before with a different no Free phone sales no fro world pay os ...08082531785, ...ask to speak to customer loyalty , ..threaten to leave , ..or they do nothing about it
