Phone number ☎️ 0012037174089 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated share scam originating from a foreign caller using a US-based spoofed number. Callers claim to represent investment or consultancy firms, targeting individuals with knowledge of shares they supposedly own - often including deceased relatives. They frequently request sensitive info like email addresses under the pretext of sending documents, making high-value buy offers, or hostile takeover bids. Victims describe aggressive, rude behaviour when challenged, silent hang-ups, repeated calls, and some threatening messages. The scam is linked to multiple UK companies’ shares, such as BT, National Grid, Centrica, and others. Many warn it’s a well-rehearsed fraudulent scheme with persistent harassment and advise reporting these attempts to authorities and sharing experiences to help expose and combat the fraud.
Reports on phone number 0012037174089
3 yearsThis number kept ringing me loads of times. I was on my voicemail each time and right as my message finished, they’d just cut off. Proper annoying!3 yearsMy mum got a call from 0012037174089 about her Aviva shares. They said they were planning a hostile takeover and claimed to already have approval from 41% of institutional shareholders. They wanted to send some paperwork and a non-disclosure agreement over. Something about it didn’t sit right with us. We’ll wait and see how this plays out.Aviva3 yearsI got a call from someone who somehow had my name and address, probably from some old Scottish Power shares I had. They were trying to buy those shares off me. When I didn’t want to give them my email or fax number, they ended up swearing at me. Quite rude!Scottish Power3 yearsThis number rang me three times, but they never left a voicemail.3 yearsGot a call from 0012038174089, and the person claimed to be from National Grid shares. He mentioned something about them acquiring 51% of the shares, and that they’d be sending me a form to complete and send back by email. When I said I wanted to check with my financial adviser first, he insisted it wasn’t necessary. Something about the whole thing just didn’t sit right with me, felt pretty dodgy.National Grid3 yearsI’m pretty worried after getting a call that seemed like a scam, and it said it was from BT. Not sure if it’s legit or not, but it definitely felt dodgy to me. Has anyone else had anything like this happen? Just want to be sure before giving any info out.BT3 yearsI picked up when they rang from this number. A guy with a heavy accent started asking for my missus, but I told him she wasn’t around right now. He mentioned something about an offer on her shares. I asked if they’d be sending a letter about it since phoning out of the blue seemed odd. He just went, “Right,” and hung up. Pretty clear that was some sort of scam.3 yearsI got a call asking for my mum, who passed away back in 2017. The person was talking about some SSE shares she supposedly owned, but obviously they were sold years ago after she died. He kept saying it didn't matter that they'd been sold, but I told him I wasn't interested and ended the call. Pretty sure it was a scam!3 yearsGot two calls in less than an hour from people saying they wanted to buy my Centrica shares for way more than they're worth. They definitely knew I owned shares but seemed clueless about the exact amount. Pretty obvious it was a scam. The second person actually got angry when I told them to buzz off.Centrica3 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to be from Centrica, but it sounded like a total scam to me. Be careful if you get a ring from them!Centrica3 yearsGot a call today that was obviously a scam. I explained that I don't live at this address anymore, fingers crossed they stop bothering me now. Just a heads up, I do actually own shares in BT.BT3 yearsGot a call on my landline from 0012037174089, showed as an overseas number. A woman with an Asian accent, maybe Indian, asked straight away for my husband by name and mentioned something about shares in National Grid. The call kept dropping out, so it was kinda hard to follow exactly what she was after, but she was really pushy about needing his email to send some documents. I told her if it’s official stuff it’d come by normal post, then ended the call. We never signed up for anything like that through email, so I reckon it was a scam. Feels dodgy and honestly pretty annoying.National Grid3 yearsTotal scam, they just want your money by pushing fake shares. Don't fall for it!3 yearsIt was definitely one of those dodgy share scams, I just hung up on them straight away!3 yearsIt sounded like one of those shares scams, so I just hung up right in the middle of it!3 yearsI was trying to purchase some BT shares from a relative who’s passed away quite a while ago. They said they’d send the paperwork by email, but I never got anything. Tried calling them back when I was out and later checked their number here, only to find out it might be dodgy. I only gave them my email since they already had my phone number. Really hope I’m not in any trouble because of it.3 yearsSomebody rang me up trying to purchase my shares. They kept saying it wasn’t a con and told me not to trust everything on the web. Bit sus if you ask me.3 yearsGot a call from someone in the States asking for a bloke who's been dead for a decade, all about British Telecom stuff! Quite a bizarre mix-up if you ask me.British Telecom3 yearsTotal scams.3 yearsThey keep calling me over and over, trying to get me to give them private info.3 yearsWas trying to get in touch with someone who used to work at Chorus.Chorus3 yearsOver the last year, I've had calls from someone asking about shares that supposedly belonged to my sister-in-law, even though she passed away back in 2004.3 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from British Telecom about some share scam. Total rubbish, watch out!British Telecom3 yearsGot a call from someone trying to purchase my BT shares. They asked for my email or fax so they could send an offer, but I told them to just send any proposals by post since I don’t share my email. After that, they just hung up. Definitely a scam, don’t hand over any details!3 yearsGot called a couple of times today, but they just hung up as soon as I answered with the voicemail.3 yearsI wonder if this fraudster owns any stock in a company? Maybe we should tell him to get rid of his shares and see what his next move is!3 yearsI got a call from someone trying to buy my BT shares, asking for my email or fax to send their proposal. I told them to just mail it instead since I don’t share my email. Right after that, they hung up. Definitely a SCAM, so beware about giving out any personal info!3 yearsMy elderly dad, who’s 91, has been getting calls over and over from this number. They keep pushing for private info, asking about shares and saying they want to buy them. When I grabbed the phone from him and told them I’d ring the police if they called again, the woman just hung up on me!3 yearsIf you really wanna do your bit to stop these scams, have a look at the five posts right below this one. They got some good tips.3 yearsA caller rang up saying they were interested in purchasing my husband's BT PLC shares.BT Group3 yearsTOTAL SCAM! BEWARE EVERYONE!3 yearsSounds like one of those dodgy attempts at a hostile takeover by Centrica. Classic scam move.Centrica3 yearsGot a call supposedly from some company in New York, asking if my hubby was interested in offloading his shares in Genmark Diagnostics, which apparently bought Osmetech a while back. I had a feeling it was just another spammy call, so I let the person carry on chatting for about 8 minutes, just to waste their time and rack up the cost on their end! Pretty clear it’s a scam, especially judging by what other people are saying about this number.New YorkGenmark DiagnosticsOsmetech3 yearsThis woman called me, claiming to be from Maxwell Consultancy out of New York and somehow had my name, address, and even knew I once owned BT shares, though I sold them ages ago. I wasn't fooled straightaway, but I played along, trying to find out why she was calling. Rather than answering my questions, she kept pushing me to answer hers. She said I was on their shareholder list or something. Pretty clearly a scam. Eventually, she got annoyed with me not cooperating and just hung up.Maxwell ConsultancyNew York3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were interested in buying my shares in Scottish and Southern Electric. I told them I'd wait for the official paperwork to arrive by post from SSE before doing anything.ScottishSouthern Electric3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Vodafone saying something about shares. Definitely sounds like a scam to me, so watch out!FraudVodafone3 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent, couldn't catch the company name or who they said they were. They kept harping on about shares from way back in J Sainsbury PLC. Felt like a total scam to me, sounded dodgy from the start.Sainsbury PLC3 yearsAvoid giving out your name or email to this number 0012037174089, it's definitely a scam. Just hang up straight away.3 yearsSomeone rang me claiming they were dealing with HBOS shares, saying they wanted to gain control and needed to purchase more. They asked for my email so they could send paperwork, promising to buy the shares at a great price. It was clear straight away it was a scam. I played along for a bit but never shared any personal details, not even my name or email. Then, after a while, I told them I knew it was a con, and they hung up on me before I could do the same.HBOS3 yearsGot a call from some guy claiming to be with Chester Arcdale, saying I'd got some shares from a surgical innovation company. He wanted my email so he could send me documents to sign for a hefty payout. I was suspicious straight away and asked for his company details and address, but he just hung up on me. Definitely steer clear, it’s a massive scam!!!Chester ArcdaleSteer3 yearsJust like others pointed out, this call felt like a total scam. They showed a US number but sounded like someone from India using some sort of voice changer or something. Proper dodgy if you ask me!States3 yearsSCAM ALERT - Got a call from someone claiming to be from the States, already knew my name and started asking about shares I supposedly own. Turns out it’s one of those scams where they try to convince you to sell your shares to their “client” who’s ready to pay an inflated price because they want to control the company. They try to build trust by calling multiple times over days or even weeks. Don’t get caught up in it and make sure you report it to Action Fraud and the police!BEWAREStates3 yearsI got a call on my home phone from a bloke claiming to be from Chester-Arcdale Capital Partners in the US, number 0012037174089. He said my late wife had some unclaimed SCRIP shares and that they wanted to buy them off me. It sounded a bit dodgy, so I did some digging and I reckon it’s a scam. They kept calling over and over, but I just let it ring out to voicemail. Be careful with these sorts of calls!Chester - Arcdale Capital Partners3 yearsHe started by saying he was Gary and even mentioned a firm I have some shares in, which really threw me. But I got suspicious straight away and didn’t waste time before telling him to stop.Gary3 yearsGot a call from someone in the US saying they’re interested in buying my National Grid shares. Doesn’t seem legit, feels like it could be a scam.StatesNational Grid3 yearsSome bloke called Gary Miller rang me up, said he was interested in buying my National Grid shares...just felt like a right scam to me.Gary MillerNational Grid3 yearsGot a dodgy call claiming something about Vodafone shares, total scam.Vodafone3 yearsGot a call today from a number I didn't know, so I just let it ring out.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were reaching out to Tottenham Hotspur investors, trying to pitch some sort of deal. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.Tottenham Hotspur3 yearsI was looking to purchase some shares and this woman clearly knew both my name and the company I had shares in since I’m actually employed there. When I asked where she got that info from, she said she wasn’t allowed to tell me. I asked again, then she just went silent and ended the call. Really strange behaviour.3 yearsGot a call from a bloke asking if I was Sarah Jones. Told him there’s no-one by that name here. He asked who I was but wouldn’t say who he was. Then he wanted my name. Didn’t trust it, so I blocked the number. Definitely a SCAM.Sarah Jones4 yearsGot a call from an older guy who said he was my dad over in the States.States4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to sell me shares, total scam. Wouldn't trust them for a second.Dodgy4 yearsGot this weird call from someone saying they wanted to buy my shares in Sainsburys for like £10 to £20 a pop. I decided to humour them for a bit, but when they lost interest, they just ended the call!Sainsbury4 yearsGot a call from a lady speaking with a clear American accent, claiming my dad was owed money from some shares in National Grid. Problem is, my dad passed away back in 2008. I told her to get in touch with the lawyer handling his probate and then just ended the call.National Grid4 yearsGot a call from a number in the States, sounded like a total scam. Watch out if you get a ring from around there!ScammerStates4 yearsHad a call from someone claiming to be Kirkwood Capital Group, offering to buy my Sainsburys shares at four times their current market value. They even knew my full name and exactly how many shares I owned. Before we could settle on a price, they wanted me to sign some kind of 'Confidentiality Agreement'. At one stage, they got their wires crossed and mentioned National Grid instead, which sounds similar to what others have said in their comments. The dialling code looked really odd too - like it came from Vatican City or somewhere strange!Kirkwood Capital GroupSainsburyNational GridVatican City4 yearsSomebody rang my 90 year old mum about her national grid shares. She told them to **** off and ended the call. Then they actually had the nerve to ring back again. When I picked up and asked what they were after, they just hung up straight away. I'm definitely reporting this number and contacting the TPS to find out why they haven’t put a stop to these annoying and persistent calls!National GridTPS4 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke claiming he was from Kirwood Capital Group LLC, interested in buying my old Sky shares. He sent me a form to an email I hardly ever check! I looked up the company and ran a whois on their website which was meant to be UK-based, but the form showed New York and the domain info pointed to Michigan. Looks like a total SCAM to me, so I dodged it. Blocked both the number and the email straight away.Kirwood Capital Group LLCSkyWhoisNew YorkMichigan4 yearsGot a call I was warned about through my BT Minder from someone called Georgina or Georgia Price, not sure what company she was with. She started asking about my National Grid shares, sounded like she was trying to buy them. She even knew how many shares I have and where I live. She was polite but quite persistent. I played it cool, said I wasn’t interested, thanked her for the call and then ended the call quickly. After that, I blocked her number.BT MinderGeorgiaGeorgina PriceNational Grid4 yearsThe guy was really insistent, claiming he was calling from Arriva about some kind of takeover. He asked for my email to send over some paperwork, but when I asked why he couldn’t just post it, he just ended the call. Felt really suspicious, so I wouldn’t share anything with him. Seemed pretty dodgy to me.Arriva4 yearsThis number rang me out of the blue, and as soon as the person started talking, I knew it was some kind of scam, so I just put the phone down. Moments later, the call came back, so I let it reach my voicemail. Afterwards, they left a really nasty message, full of insults and swear words, even threatening to send a bomb to my home. Honestly, it’s scary the kind of awful people who try to mess with regular folks like this - watch out for them.4 yearsMy mum picked up the phone and they started talking about my late dad’s investments by name. She told them to look at their records, he’s passed away, then ended the call. They rang straight back and asked why she’d cut off, she told them again he’s dead. The caller then said something like, “Do you wanna be with him soon?” That really freaked her out. Honestly, I hope someone puts a stop to this kind of scary behaviour quick.4 yearsA man rang claiming to be from BP plc, saying there was some investigation going on because small shareholders weren't getting the right amount of dividends. Since we own shares ourselves and usually get a mix of new shares and cash dividends, it sounded off. He asked for our details and an email address to send some papers. My wife got a bit wary and told him to send anything by post, as surely BP would know that’s how we’d handle it. After that, he just hung up. The caller had a foreign accent and spoke so quickly she had to ask him to repeat himself several times.BP plcBP4 yearsThis is the second time I’ve had a call from this number, but as soon as I pick up, the person just hangs up. Really strange, been happening more than once now.4 yearsThey told me it was energy related, but that was like two days ago now.Energy Twelve4 yearsDefinatly a scammer.Submit Your Own Report ((203) 717-4089)
