Today I received a cold call ( despite being on TPS ) from this number: 02393 760038. The person did not give a company name but she said she was ringing about my BT Openreach phone service and checking that I was receiving free telephone calls .
I started to question her as I already have a Plusnet inclusive Calls Package. She said Openreach provide everyone's lines but that I could still get free calls. I replied that I didn't need another free package and she said he would update her systems. Worryingly she knew my name, address and phone number and implied that I already have an account with whoever the company is.
I checked out the number (02393 760038) and many people suggest it is a scam and apparently they try to get bank details and eventually take over the telephone line , so the advice is not to speak to these people .
Some suggest it is a Slamming con , which means may try to take over control of the line from your provider, BT, Plus Net or whoever .
Has anyone else had this company call? If so I suggest you do not speak to them or give them details

Thanks for this, mentioning it to the higher-ups (if it's within our jurisdiction).
I've found one link, but are you able to tell me any other links you found discussing this while looking it up?

https://www.shouldianswer.co.uk/phone-number/02393760038 is the answer I found too.
I have complained to TPS as well
Thanks Matty, can you also please make sure with the higher ups that my phone account is not slammed or taken over? !! I could not deal with the stress it would cause

I can gladly tell you that nobody has touched (or is in the process of touching) your line since we removed caller display back in 2013
