001244379185 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 001244379185 👆 is reported as a persistent and widespread scam involving automated calls from various numbers, often featuring a female voice named "Shirley," claiming that the recipient’s internet or IP address has been compromised and threatening disconnection. These calls frequently impersonate providers like BT, TalkTalk, or Virgin, despite many victims not being customers. The callers use aggressive tactics, including prompts to press buttons that connect to supposed engineers, but hanging up is the safest response. Victims report high call volumes, number spoofing, and frustration at the lack of effective action by telecom companies or authorities. Users are advised never to engage, verify concerns directly with their provider, report the calls, and be cautious of any unsolicited contact about internet security.

This Shirley person from the internet company is really annoying me as well. I ended up calling my local MP and talked to one of their aides to find out if the UK Government’s doing anything about it. All I got was a bunch of nonsense, no promise to bring it up in PM questions or anything. Something’s definitely gotta be done though. It’s the elderly and vulnerable folks who need protection the most. Anyone got any suggestions on who could tackle this?

Had a call from someone saying they were Shirley at BT. I decided to mess about a bit. I hit 1, then started chatting like an old geezer, real slow and repeating stuff, or just going “yessss” dragging it out. After a while, I’d say “internet” real slowly and then ask “what’s that then?” After a good twenty seconds, the caller ended up swearing and hanging up. Another laugh was creeping them out by asking over and over what Shirley was wearing, in a really weird tone.

Had loads of calls this week from the same robot voice, I’ve started calling it Shirley. Sometimes it says it’s from BT, but we’re not even with them for internet or phone, other times it’s just some random caller saying they’re going to cut off our wifi. Honestly, it’s getting really tedious and silly at this point, especially since they keep ringing in the mornings multiple times a week. I just wish BT or whoever’s behind this would sort it out once and for all.

I just got a robo call on my home phone from 0147967401 telling me my internet service would be disconnected unless I press 1 or 2. They claimed to be BT, but that's not my provider at all, so it’s obviously a dodgy scam.

I picked up the phone but ended the call straight away. Then it rang again and I spoke to someone who said they got a call from me with the exact same message. Seems like they’re using my home number to ring other people. My phone’s been blowing up for the last half hour so I’ve had to unplug it.

Got a robocall on my landline today from someone who sounded American, like loads over the past few weeks. They claimed my internet was hacked and would be cut off soon. This time they told me to press 1 to get assistance. I did, then the call ended straight away. I checked the number using 1471 and it wasn’t recognised (no surprise there). At the time, both my phone and computer were off. Not sure if anything got compromised!!! I gave my bank a ring to let them know. Should I be doing anything else? The number was 01612251732.

I just got a call starting with 166 and the person said "This is Shirley from your internet provider". I've had loads of calls like this, same intro every time, so I just hang up straight away. Some days I get a few, but the number changes or sometimes there isn’t any number showing. What’s going on with these calls and how can I make it stop? I’m already signed up to the TPS, so it’s really frustrating!

Watch out for these calls, they’re definitely SCAMS: First call is from a Shirley at IPS. She speaks with an American accent but it’s pretty clear it’s just a robot. Then there’s another one, usually someone with a Far Eastern name claiming to be from BT saying your internet’s been hacked. They ask you to press 1 if you’re a BT customer, or 2 if you use another provider. That second call is so obviously fake, I mean why would BT even ask if you’re with them? If it wasn’t actually risky for your security, it’d be absolutely laughable.

Shirley keeps ringing me from various numbers and today’s was 01768892900. I figured I’d press 1 like they said, and some bloke with an Indian accent came on saying my IP had been hacked in loads of countries and I’d lose internet access in a day! I told him I’d been getting this same call for months and my internet was still fine, can he explain that? He just said "oh crap" and hung up. This is totally a scam, watch out!

I told him I’ve been getting these calls for months and I still have internet, so how does that work? He just said “oh crap” and hung up. Totally a scam, watch out!

I told him I’ve had these calls for ages and my internet is still fine, asked him to explain that. He just said “oh sh*t” and hung up. Totally a scam, watch out!

Lately, I've been getting calls from someone claiming to be "Shirley from Internet Service Provider" on four seperate numbers, three of them local so I picked up. How do you block them when they use so many diffrent numbers? It's super frustrating - you’d think they’d give up since I just hang up every time!

What a load of rubbish. I’m fed up with these calls. Just got my fifth one in one day. Woke me up and I’m poorly. I’m on Virgin, so they seem to pick on anyone. Anyone who falls for these scam calls really needs to take a moment and think. Clearly some do or they wouldn’t bother trying all the time.

Received a couple of calls just now from someone named "Shirley" claiming my IP got hacked or something. The numbers are totally different each time, at least according to 1471, so blocking one number won’t do much since they always switch. Being with BT just feels like being stuck in a system where these phone companies turn a blind eye and let these scams keep happening. Feels like we're just pawns to them.

Twice in the past few days we've been bothered by an automated call from an American voice, saying our internet provider got hacked and that our connection will be cut off in a day. I've learnt now to ring 1572 and put a stop to 'Shirley' and her nonsense. It's really irritating though.

Shirley rings me on the regular. Just got a call from a local number 020 8366 6181. I’m with Talk Talk. Blocking the number is pointless since they keep switching them up. I usually ignore the typical threats about cutting off my service and all that. Is there anything actually being done to crack down on these dodgy scammers?

At 10:22 this morning, I received an automated telephone call from the number 029384598746. The recorded message claimed that my internet services would be terminated, and instructed me to press 1 if I wished to converse with an individual or 2 to terminate the call altogether. I chose not to press either option and instead ended the call promptly. Given the circumstances, I believe it is quite likely that this was a fraudulent scheme.

I reckon 'Shirley' has got an endless list of phone numbers. The last ones I got were from 01257 224105, 01253 981396, 01254 764270, and 01257 412370, but I've had loads more too. BT told me to just hang up, ring 1572, pick option 1 and that'll add the number to my blacklist. I guess you need to be a BT customer with BT Protect on for that to do anything. But the weird part is, Shirley just keeps ringing from a new number each time, and nothing really stops her!

Just wanted to update my previous comment with some better details. Earlier today, I got a call that showed up as coming from "international" on my caller ID. Since I know a couple people who could ring from overseas, I answered. The caller was a woman called "Shirley" with a recorded message claiming my IP address was hacked, so I ended the call straight away. Then, I got the same call again, but this time it showed a local number on my caller ID, like it had been redirected or spoofed or something.

On 8th November 2017, I too received a call from them alerting me that my IP address had been compromised in multiple countries. They claimed that my internet connection would be terminated within the next 24 to 48 hours. Since it was only 7:30 am and I was still in bed, the call went to my voicemail. Without hesitation, I deleted the number without returning the call, and to my relief, my internet continued to work. It became evident that it was a scam.

I received calls on the 8th and 9th of November to my UK landline from a number, where a computer-generated female voice claimed to be from TalkTalk.

When I tried to call back on the same number, it was not possible to reach anyone.

Got a recorded message from a woman with an American accent saying they’d been tryin’ to reach me because my TalkTalk IP had been hacked in loads of different countries. She claimed my internet would be shut down in a day and that I needed to replace my router. Told me to press 1 to speak to a technician, then the call just dropped. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.

A woman claiming to be from TalkTalk informed me that my IP address had been compromised in multiple countries. She asked me to press 1 in order to connect and reset my IP address. However, I suspected it was a scam, so I promptly hung up the phone.

This number rang me up this morning so I double checked my internet and everything seems fine. Then I called TalkTalk to report what looks like another scam or fraud going on.

Got a robocall saying my IP address is at risk and I have to change it. I just ended the call. Used to be with Talk Talk, but dumped them ages ago cause their service was rubbish and their security was terrible.

I received a phone call in the early hours of the morning from an automated message saying it was from TalkTalk. Option 1 connected me to someone with a strong accent who claimed to give me a "registration number" to prove their identity. However, they provided a long string of numbers that were difficult to understand due to their poor pronunciation of the phonetic alphabet. I decided to end the call and when I checked the caller ID using the 1471 feature, it showed the number as 001244379185.

Got a call at 7:49am from a woman who sounded American with a pre-recorded message, saying my IP and router were hacked and needed changing, press 1 to talk to an 'engineer'. No ID or clues who it was apart from an American international number. Totally a scam. Blocked the number straight away.

This number rang me earlier today (08/11/17) with an automated message pretending to be from TalkTalk saying my IP had been hacked and my internet would be disconnected tomorrow. I ended the call and then called 1471, but hanging up didn’t actually end it and pressing 1 put me through to a woman claiming to help with TalkTalk. I told her I’m not a customer and she just hung up. I gave up on TalkTalk years ago due to their terrible service and useless staff, and I’ve been trying to get them to stop calling and sending me mail ever since.

I received a call from a particular number which played an automated message in a female voice, with an American accent. The message claimed that my internet connection had been compromised and was now under the control of hackers, posing a serious threat. It instructed me to press a button on my phone for additional instructions. Although the area code (244) normally corresponds to the US state of Illinois, I believe this information may be misleading. It is evident that this is undoubtedly a scam.

Got a voicemail saying my IP got hacked and to press 1 for details. Could this be another TalkTalk data breach?

Today (08/11/17), I received a phone call from this particular number. It was an automated message claiming to be from TalkTalk, informing me that my IP address had been compromised and that my internet service would be disconnected tomorrow. I decided to end the call and check the number by dialling 1471, but somehow, hanging up didn't work, and instead, dialling 1 connected me to a live female staff member. She tried offering assistance with my TalkTalk service, but I made it clear that I wasn't their customer anymore. Consequently, she promptly ended the call. It's been a long time since I left TalkTalk due to their poor service and the incompetence of their staff. I've been attempting to cease their phone calls and mail ever since.

This is just some sort of automated scam call. They’re targeting people who might not know any better. We really need stronger laws to protect vulnerable folks from these scammers.

Just like all the other calls I got. This time it was a recorded message from a woman who sounded American, saying my internet was hacked from multiple countries and to press 1 to speak to an engineer!! What a joke. Total scam. Seriously, when will Talktalk stop letting our details slip everywhere?

My mother in law got a call earlier today from this number - some woman named Shirley claimed her internet had been hacked and it was going to be cut off. She said her provider was Talk Talk but then just hung up. No issues with our internet so it’s clearly a dodgy scam.

001244379185 Got a voicemail from this number saying my internet provider noticed my IP address was hacked and I needed a new router for free. They said to press option 1 to talk to an engineer. I went ahead and deleted the message. I also told my internet provider about it.

My voicemail caught this call. It was a prerecorded message with a really bad, robotic voice. Seems like a total scam trying to trick you into pressing a button on your phone. SUPER RISKY!! At worst, you’d end up stuck listening to some automated spiel while being charged an insane rate every minute.

Received a voicemail from this number, a woman with an American accent claiming my internet details had been hacked and that my service would be cut off unless I pressed a certain key. Totally untrue, as my internet's been working fine. Pretty clear it’s a scam. The area code (244) ties to Illinois, but they could be calling from anywhere really. I quickly added this number to my block list.

Got a recorded message early this morning about my internet being compromised and that it’ll be disconnected soon. Was asked to press some key to speak to someone. The voice was this really clear robot, not the usual foreign guy named Dave or Steve. Just ignored it and reported the number. Feels like they’re either tired of chatting and trying to trick us, or maybe they’re finally catching on to our colourful language. Honestly, wish we could block these lot from using their own phone lines forever.

No doubt, another scam is at play. It truly becomes frustrating that these individuals cannot be traced and stopped. I've reached my limit with this situation, so I plan to collect all the numbers I have and send them, along with a letter, to my local Member of Parliament. It would be a great idea for all of us to unite in this effort and inundate them with letters until they take action. Many people are unaware that these are scams and end up losing large sums of money.

I received a call today (6th November) from this number, and the person claimed to be from Talk Talk. They mentioned that my IP address had been compromised and asked me to call back. The message was recorded and delivered by a woman with an American accent. I'm getting quite frustrated with the increasing number of scam calls I receive. It feels like these are the only calls I get nowadays. Is there any way to prevent them? It seems like everyone is experiencing this issue too.

Heard a recorded voice of a woman who oddly knew my name and was asking for Mrs. Apparently, my internet provider claimed there was an issue with my PC. They instructed me not to touch my computer for a whole day and insisted I contact one of their tech guys for help.

Got a call from this number with an automated voice telling me my IP was hacked by loads of countries, and to fix it I needed to press a number to get a new router sent. No company or person was mentioned at all. Honestly, if you get something like this, just ignore it and hang up. If you’re worried, ring up your phone or internet provider yourself to check if there’s any real issue.

This number rang me twice today. The first time, a lady answered and when I asked why she was bothering me, she snapped back saying I was the one wasting time! What I said next wouldn’t be polite to share here. The second call was some robocall telling me to press a button, so I just cut it off.
