0019175401281 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 0019175401281 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number targeting UK landlines, claiming to represent reputable financial institutions like Lloyds, Aviva, and National Grid. Callers often use personal details - such as full names, shareholdings, and addresses - likely obtained from public or outdated share registers to gain trust. The approach typically involves pressure to sell or confirm shares related to alleged takeovers or acquisitions, frequently requesting sensitive information or email addresses for dubious paperwork. Accents vary but are often foreign, and calls usually end abruptly when challenged. Many recipients have blocked the number or ignored calls, with no legitimate messages left. Victims are strongly advised not to engage, to block the number, and to report these calls to official UK scam-reporting channels to help combat this fraudulent activity.

12 monthsI got a call about some Lloyds shares, and they actually knew my name. Pretty obvious it was a scam!Lloyds12 monthsI got a missed call from 0019175401281 but I didn’t pick up since I had no clue who it was, plus we never get calls from abroad here. Like always, no voicemail or anything left, so I figured it was probably another scam call, which seems to be right judging by what others are saying!12 monthsGot a call from someone who already had my name and even mentioned I own shares in Aviva. They started chatting about some sort of upcoming takeover!Aviva12 monthsHonestly, I’m not really sure what to add here.12 monthsGot a call about Aviva shares, but it turned out to be a total scam. Be careful, don’t fall for it!Aviva1 yearGot a call on my home phone, the person asked for me by name and said something about my Aviva shares! I told them the line was awful and I couldn’t catch what they were saying, then just ended the call.Aviva1 yearGot a call claiming to be from Aviva, they were really insistent. When I wouldn’t share my details, they just cut me off.Aviva1 yearGot a call on my landline from someone with an Asian or American-sounding accent asking about Aviva shares. They actually knew my full name which was a bit creepy. This isn't the first time they've rung this number either. I just ignored them and let them blabber on. Definitely felt like a total scam.🤬Aviva1 yearGot a call from this number, 0019175401281, and it was a bloke with a bit of an Asian accent asking for someone by name. He said he wanted to chat about Lloyds Bank Shares. Funny thing is, last time this number rang me, the guy sounded proper English and very polite. Definitely feels like a scam to me! Really annoying!Lloyds Bank1 yearGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent, but as soon as I said the person he wanted isn’t interested in any offers, he just cut off. Sounds like a scam about Lloyds bank shares. The number showed up as 0019175401281 from the US.Lloyds Bank1 yearAround 7:05 tonight, I got a call on my landline from a guy who sounded like he had a bit of an Asian accent. He claimed Lloyds Bank wanted to buy Halifax Building Society shares and asked if I wanted to sell. I wasn't interested at all, so I told him no pretty sharpish and then hung up.Lloyds BankHalifax Building Society1 yearI got a call from someone asking if I owned any Aviva shares. I wasn’t sure at first but admitted I knew about it, and then the line just went dead.Aviva1 yearThere was a lot of noise from an office in the background, so I just ended the call.1 yearThe caller knew my name straight away and said my Centrica shares might be taken over, mentioning I could receive anything between £8 and £17 per share. I asked if I’d be sent any documents to confirm it, and he said maybe, but explained it was tricky as he was calling all the way from the States. When I asked which firm he was with that was handling the merger, he just ended the call.CentricaStates1 yearSome bloke rang my home phone and seemed to know my full name and where I live. He started talking about some shares in Aviva and a takeover that was apparently hostile. When I told him it was news to me and that I needed to look into it myself, he just hung up on me!Aviva1 yearJust like others have said, this person seemed to already know I owned shares in a bank and claimed they had an investor wanting to become a main shareholder. I told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call quick. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.1 yearTotally a scam. The guy said he'd pay me eight times what my Marstons plc shares are worth, but then asked me for my debit card info linked to a major UK bank. He was creepily spot on about my shares too.Marstons plcUK1 yearGot a call about an Aviva insurance policy just now.Aviva1 yearThe caller knew my name, said something about National Grid stocks. I hung up straight away and blocked the number.National Grid1 yearGot a call from someone with an American accent asking about my Kingfisher shares. I just ended the call right away since I’ve been getting these scam calls on and off for years.1 yearGot a call from someone who said they were from the national grid asking about my share details. They had an American accent and it just felt dodgy to me.1 yearSomeone phoned earlier looking for my husband by name. The caller spoke with an American accent and claimed to be from Aviva. I told them to ring back next week. After reading other posts, I reckon this is probably a scam.Aviva1 yearAbsolute rip-off!1 yearWatch out, seems like a scam to me - someone tried to get me to sell shares in Tradecraft that apparently can't be traded. Definitely fishy!Tradecraft1 yearThe call came through on my landline but I didn’t pick up because the call protection feature flagged it as spam. No voicemail was left either. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now!1 yearToday, 24th April 2025, I got a call where the person asked for me by name, but I didn’t confirm. They said something about shares for National Grid. When I asked why they were calling, the person just hung up. Seems like they’re using info from old share registers or something.National Grid1 yearI got a call from my own number today. The person on the other end had a strong Asian accent and was chatting about buying shares to take over a company or something. I just told them straight up it was a scam and hung up. Bloody annoying.1 yearGot a call from these guys saying they wanted to buy my Aviva shares, some sort of hostile takeover thing. I gave them my email and they sent over a really sketchy form to complete. Since then, they've been ringing non stop, like my shares worth barely 2k quid are some big deal for their hostile takeover plan. They sure have a lot of time to keep hassling me! PARAMOUNT ACQUISITION CORP. Address: 787 7th Avenue, 48th Floor New York, NY 10019 Satellite: 11 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022, USAAvivaParamount Acquisition Corp.7877th Avenue48th FloorNew YorkNY53rdStUSA1 yearThey called me two times one after the other but didn’t bother to leave a voicemail either time. When I answered, I could hear people chatting in the background, so I guess it was coming from some sort of call centre. I never answer numbers I don’t recognise, especially if they don’t leave any sort of message. Honestly, this felt pretty dodgy - definitely seemed like a scam to me.1 yearNot sure why I keep getting calls from the US. Some bloke named Doctor Ganesh told me it’s probably a scam.Ganesh1 yearThis number just rang me up about someone wanting to buy Aviva shares, asking if I wanted to sell mine. I said no, and then they just cut the line straight away. If they’d at least said thanks or goodbye, I might have thought it was genuine. I’m based in Greater Manchester, UK, and it came through on my BT landline.AvivaGreater Manchester1 yearCaller was looking for my partner by name but he wasn't around. I asked what they needed and they said it was about his Corus shares. I explained that he had to sell those shares when TATA Steel took over the firm. We've had calls like this before, but normally my partner picks up, and since he never took the caller's number, we never bothered reporting it till now.CorusTATA Steel1 yearGot a dodgy call from 0019175401281 again, total scam.1 yearGot a call on the 18th of March, and the person immediately started quizzing me about some shares I might be offloading. Funny thing is, I really am planning to sell a few, so how on earth did they find that out? They even named the exact company I’m dealing with!1 yearTotal scam, just a waste of time.1 yearGot a call from this number and was kinda shocked by what info they seemed to know about me. Then as soon as they mentioned anything about 'investments', I put two and two together and knew it was a total scam. No doubt at all it’s dodgy, and checking the number online just proved it.1 yearThis number just rang me up, and the person on the line had a really thick foreign accent. I was shocked at how much they seemed to know about me. They mentioned my full name, where I live, my private landline, and even that I once held shares in Centrica. I played along for a while before telling them I’d actually sold those shares over 25 years ago while managing my late dad’s estate. I joked that if I still had them, they could just send me a cheque to buy them - then suddenly the call just dropped.Centrica1 yearI've been getting calls from these people about shares in Costain and some sort of takeover offer. I actually sold my shares back in 2011, which just goes to show how much info they've somehow got. I'm thinking of messing with them a bit, but definitely not giving them any of my info.Costain1 yearI got a call today from someone asking for my daughter, but she moved out ages ago and even changed her last name. When I explained she didn’t live here anymore, the caller just hung up straight away.1 yearSome bloke rang up asking for my hubby by name, saying some clients wanted to buy his JJB Sports shares. He asked for his email so he could send over paperwork. Then a woman called from the "compliance department" of some company (I couldn’t catch the name properly), saying she was just following protocol after the first call. She said they’d be emailing him an NDA because it was about a hostile takeover, mentioning he’d get £12 to £27 per share if it went through. Complete nonsense. JJB Sports closed down back in 2012. I’m curious how they expect to pull this scam off.JJB SportsNDA1 yearGot a call from some bloke who said he was calling about Barclays being taken over, and even asked for me by name. As soon as I sounded unsure, he just hung up. The guy sounded like he was from India or Bangladesh.Barclays1 yearGot a call from a woman, sounded like she had a Polish accent or something similar. She asked for me by name and claimed to be from a place I was supposed to have worked at two decades back. It seemed like some dodgy investment scam to do with shares. Stay well clear of this one!1 yearGot a call from this number earlier, showed up as an international one. The guy asked for my husband by name, which immediately set off alarm bells for me. Some bloke with an American accent said he was calling from TATA Steel. When my husband got on the phone, the man mentioned something about shares in Corus, which was the old name before the takeover. My husband said he sold those shares ages ago, then the caller just said thanks and hung up. Feels like a scam to me, but it’s crazy how much info they seem to have on people.TATA SteelCorus1 yearI got a call from this number and some bloke with a sort of Swedish or Northern European accent was asking about my aunt who’s been dead for ages. Then he wanted to speak to her executor, which I have no idea how he even knew to ring me. He started talking about National Grid shares but I didn’t fancy giving out any personal info so I just ended the call.National Grid1 yearGot a call claiming to be from Nationwide or Aviva, and they even asked for us by name. When I asked who exactly was on the line, they got a bit defensive and kept pushing for details. After a while of me questioning, they just hung up. The voice sounded really sure of itself but had a faint foreign accent.AvivaNationwide1 yearGot a call from a guy just now asking about my national grid shares. I told him I’m not comfortable sharing info over the phone and asked him to post me the details instead.1 yearGot a call from some random US number outta nowhere... didn't leave any message. Could be a scam, right?StatesSubmit Your Own Report ((917) 540-1281)
