Phone number ☎️ 0012162828651 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from an international number claiming to represent investment firms interested in buying UK shares such as BT, Centrica, Sainsbury’s, Aviva, and National Grid. Callers often know personal details like names and addresses, but the calls are usually from overseas with unfamiliar or heavily accented voices. They employ tactics such as requesting email or fax details, pushing for document signing, or attempting to discuss alleged shareholdings. Victims frequently receive vague or muffled communications and aggressive follow-ups. The consensus is to neither engage nor provide any personal information; instead, hang up promptly and block the number. These calls should be treated with caution, as they are potentially fraudulent attempts to exploit shareholders.

3 yearsGot a call from abroad, sounded dodgy - defo a scam, best steer clear.3 yearsGot a call from some woman talking about shares who somehow had my name, but she said it wrong. As soon as I figured it was dodgy, I cut the call. The number was from abroad, somewhere in New York, and I’ve blocked it since.New York3 yearsGot a call on my landline from +0012162828651, an international number. I’m on the TPS so I’m surprised they got through. The woman on the line, sounded Asian, was asking about BT shares. I told her if I had any shares in BT, I’d deal with them through the usual letters and official channels.Telephone Preference ServiceBT3 yearsSaw a call from an unknown number, heard some muffled talking when I tried to call back, so I just decided to block it and not pick up.3 yearsGot a call about some hostile takeover regarding BT stocks or something, sounded pretty dodgy to me.BT3 yearsGot a ring from this number at about half past one this afternoon (18/01/24). The bloke on the line had an Asian accent, and I quickly figured it might be a scam, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.3 yearsI got a call from +12162828651, and it really seemed shady, probably a scam from the US. They said they're calling from New York and wanted to talk about buying some shares. Honestly, I’d just hang up straight away and put them on block. Don’t get caught up with these sorts of calls!USANew York3 yearsGot a call from someone who appeared to have details about shares, which was pretty unsettling. Best to just block and avoid any chats with them.3 yearsLast Friday I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent who gave her name as Lopez. She got my elderly dad’s email and claimed she’d send some documents by email. They never showed up, but she rang again today asking if the papers had been dealt with. Luckily, he wasn’t around to answer this time, but she said she’d ring back once more. It’s some kind of share scam, and she’s really pushy. Just don’t trust the call, hang up and block the number straight away.Lopez3 yearsGot a weird call about investing in BT shares. It was a woman from New York who said her name was Lopez. She even mentioned my husband’s name, which felt a bit off.BTLopezNew York3 yearsGot a call from someone trying to talk me into buying Centrica shares - turned out to be a total scam.Centrica3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they worked for an investment firm wanting to purchase Sainsbury shares to gain control. I told them I wasn’t comfortable talking about it on the phone and asked them to send me information through the mail instead. They just hung up on me, felt like a total scam to me.Sainsbury3 years12/05/2023 A woman with a very professional tone said she was ringing all the way from New York. She knew my name and where I lived, then told me she was working for a firm aiming to do a hostile takeover of a bank, claiming I was on the shareholder list. She asked for my email or fax to send over some documents. Since there's no way they could have those details and I don’t own any shares in that bank anyway, I just hung up.New York3 yearsIt’s quite worrying how much they seemed to know about financial shares.3 yearsGot a call out of the blue asking if I was interested in Tata Steel shares.Tata Stel3 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded like they were Indian, said they worked for some sort of investment firm. Creepy thing was, they knew my full name and address off the bat. They told me their client was interested in purchasing 51% of RR shares and mentioned a possible price bracket. They also said they'd send me an email with more info, including a confidentiality agreement I’d need to sign and send back so their legal team could take it from there!3 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Indian accent, asking for my husband regarding some BT shares. She already had my entire address, which felt a bit odd. I told her I was divorced and had no clue about any shares. She kept pressing me to reveal where he currently lives, even though I kept insisting I didn’t know. When I tried 1471 for the number, it just disconnected. Very strange!3 yearsSomeone rang claiming they were from a big bank, wanted to chat about a stock my husband supposedly owns. When I told them I don’t talk about these things on the phone, they just ended the call.3 yearsManaged to slip through my call blocker somehow! Someone was trying to get me to buy shares in Michell & Butler. Crazy thing is, this is basically the same scam I dealt with more than a decade ago!Michell & Butler3 yearsThey were acting like they’d just purchased EDF stocks or something.EDF3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with an investment company interested in snapping up Centric shares. They mentioned their client was National Grid, aiming to purchase 51% of Centrica. I told them to just go ahead and buy on the open market if that was the case. When I asked for their firm's name, they said GCC. I then said I'd put them on hold while I looked them up on Companies House. Predictably... the call dropped straight away.CentricaNational GridGCCCompanies House3 yearsMissed the call and it ended up going straight to voicemail. When I played the message back, I could barely make out some quiet chatter, reminded me of those call centre vibes.3 yearsSomewhere along the call, the person was trying to convince me to hand over my stocks in a UK business because they had a buyer from the States lined up. I decided not to go through with it.States3 yearsGot a call today about BT shares - total scam, don’t fall for it!BT3 yearsThis morning I got a phone call from a bloke with a strange accent talking about some old BT shares I had ages ago - probably about 20 years back when I worked for BT. He tried to convince me I was owed some cash, nearly fell for it! I looked up this site and found out a woman named Georgia is supposed to ring me back for "further details". Definitely a SCAM! Watch out everyone!Georgia3 yearsThey called me a couple of times and somehow acted like they already knew how much money we had saved up. Felt really dodgy but kind of believable at the same time.3 yearsGot a call from someone speaking with a Dutch accent claiming to be from some investment fund. They wanted to know if me or my wife had shares in a particular company. I didn’t really give them the info they were after, and then they just ended the call.3 yearsI tried blocking the number but it still managed to ring through, and I just didn’t pick up in the end.3 yearsMight be a scam alert. Got a call from 0012162828651 where they asked if I was up for selling my National Grid shares. The person on the other end had a noticeable foreign accent, definitely not American. They mentioned some ‘client’ wanting to buy over half of Nat Grid’s shares. I told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call pretty quickly.National GridNat Grid3 yearsGot a call and sounded like a scam, didn’t trust it one bit.3 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a thick accent, said he was checking on a Lloyds account or summat. Sounded dodgy to me.Lloyds3 yearsSomeone rang up asking about Centrica shares, but my husband just cut the call short.Centrica3 yearsSo some bloke rang up, claiming he was from this American firm called SEE, trying to buy up Sainsburys shares to force a takeover or summat. I told him, "Why not ring Qatar? They own most of it anyway," and also said I'd just wait for the official stockmarket announcement before doing anything. Honestly, I don’t own any shares, so it was a weird convo from the start!SainsburySEEQatar3 yearsSo, I got a call where the person wanted to talk to my husband. When I asked what it was regarding, he mumbled something about British Gas and Centrica but it was really hard to catch. I tried checking if it had anything to do with Centrica shares since we don’t own any, and he said it kinda was, but not exactly. I asked for his phone number to get back to him later, but when I asked again after he requested my husband, he just hung up straight away. I’ve blocked the number now - no doubt it’s a scam.British GasCentrica3 yearsSomeone rang up saying they were from SEE and wanted to discuss my shares - which I haven’t got any of! They were really disrespectful too.SEE3 yearsTrying to get a hold of Centrica shares, what a waste of time!Centrica3 yearsGot a call from a company saying they wanted to buy some BT shares off my mum. Sounded a bit off to me.BT3 yearsThis gotta be a scam, right? I mean, why would a phone from the US suddenly be talking about shares in the UK? Seems fishy to me.States3 yearsGot a call from some lot saying they wanna buy my shares at £12 each, but I don’t even own any shares! Total scam, watch out everyone!3 yearsGot a call about some Aviva shares, asked them to send me the details in the post. The number was blocked afterwards.Aviva3 yearsI reckon I might pick up his shares - we’ll totally catch him off guard!3 yearsGot a call during The Archers from someone with an American accent claiming to be from a global company interested in buying my Aviva shares. Honestly, it was quite irritating having it interrupt my favourite show!AvivaThe Archers3 yearsClaimed to be from LLoyds shares and asked for my name, address and email.Lloyds3 yearsGot a call that was totally dodgy, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.3 yearsTotal ripoff, don’t waste your time with this!3 yearsThis lady attempted to purchase BT shares claiming a great deal, but she didn't have my proper address. She asked for my email, which I wouldn't share. I told her I’d call BT myself. Definitely seemed like a total scam to me.BT3 yearsThe call came via BT Protect, which sends all overseas numbers straight to voicemail, so this one must’ve started in the UK. A bloke claimed to be from some company - can’t quite make out the name - talking about BT shares. When I asked him to repeat his company’s name, it was still unclear. He mentioned something about a takeover with a 51% stake. Before telling me their proposal, he said he needed to ask a question. I cut him off and told him I’d only consider anything if I got it written from BT first. He hung up instantly, no goodbye or nothing.BT ProtectUKBT3 yearsMy elderly mum got a call from someone saying they wanted to buy her Sainsbury’s shares. She actually owns some, but it turns out it was the same person who called a few months ago. Because of her dementia, she can’t really remember if she gave them any details before or not.Sainsbury3 yearsSomeone rang me pretending to be from Aviva, asking questions about my shares. Seemed a bit fishy to me.Aviva3 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a thick accent saying he was from Aviva and wanted to talk to me by name. I told him it’s unusual for Aviva to ring from abroad, and he just ended the call straight away. Pretty obvious this was a con.Aviva3 yearsSomeone rang asking for a particular person and came across as quite rude and a bit threatening.3 yearsGot a call from someone in New York trying to trick me. They claimed they could help me sell some Aviva shares for a "great price" by sending over some paperwork. Sounds brilliant, right? If only it were that simple - I’d hand over the shares if they paid me first. Problem is, I don’t own any shares at all!New YorkAviva3 yearsI got a call from a bloke who spoke with what I thought was a Dutch accent. He was asking if I’d be okay with selling my partner’s Aviva shares and wanted my permission to carry on with the sale.Aviva3 yearssounds like one of those dodgy shares scams to me4 yearsJust got another one of those scam texts again.Submit Your Own Report ((216) 282-8651)
