00198 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 00198 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance, commonly linked to scam calls impersonating well-known companies like BT or Microsoft. Callers often claim urgent issues such as hacked computers, internet service termination, or fraudulent bank withdrawals, typically using recorded messages urging recipients to press buttons or share personal information. Many recipients recognise these calls as fraudulent, refusing to engage or block the numbers promptly. The calls are frequently international, originating from multiple variations of similar prefixes, and occur repeatedly throughout the day and even in the early hours. Users advise caution, recommend not interacting with the calls, and suggest contacting service providers directly via official numbers. The pattern highlights an ongoing problem with scam operations exploiting international lines, urging telecommunication companies to enhance blocking measures.

4 yearsOn the 4th of Dec 2022 at about 6 past six in the evening, I got a call from 0019801745617031. The person just said hello and I hung up straight away. Can someone please block this number?6 yearsSome bloke called me saying my internet was rubbish and claimed to be from BT - what a load of rubbish, BT never bother calling folks who aren’t their customers. I calmly told him my provider is doing a bang-up job and then he just hung up.BT6 yearsI keep getting calls from numbers starting with 00198. Whenever I pick up, I just stay silent and then dial 1572 to try and stop them from calling again.6 yearsThey dont stop callin, keeps goin on every single day.6 yearsI got a call from number 001981145089 saying my PC was under attack and I had to log in immediately so they could sort it out.6 yearsGot two calls earlier from 00198 428 9978, but I just let them ring out. The only foreign number I usually get is from Australia, which starts 0064, so this was odd. Not sure if it means anything, but I did start using WhatsApp just yesterday.AustraliaWhatsApp6 yearsI got a call from this number 00198, and the person said I’d won 25 lakh rupees. Then they asked me for my WhatsApp number. Seems fishy to me.WhatsApp6 yearsSo what went down once you ended the call??7 yearsYeh log hain jo bilkul na kabhi sudhrenge, inpar sakht se sakht karwai honi chahiye.7 yearsGot a voicemail saying my bank account had been cleared out for like £600 and to press 1 for details. Didn’t bother, just ended the call.7 yearsI got a call from 001983611767 saying someone had taken £600 from my bank account and if I didn’t press 1, something bad would happen. I just ignored it and hung up straight away.7 yearsI just ignored the call.7 yearsHas anyone else noticed this annoying BT internet cut out? Surely BT should sort this out by now? It’s really frustrating!BT7 yearsCan someone help me find out who’s been ringing me?8 yearsToday (28/02/19), I got three calls from 001983292034 supposedly claiming to be BT. They left a recorded message saying my internet would stop working from today and asked me to press 1 or 2 for more details. It sounded dodgy, so I just ignored it. A few hours later, they rang me again...BT8 yearsThis morning I got a couple of calls from the number 00198944659056, with someone claiming to be from Windows warning me my computer was at risk. I just cut the call straight away.8 yearsHey, I got a call from this number 0019805531199 but I have no idea who it belongs to or what they were trying to sell me. Anyone else had calls from this?10 yearsGot a call from 00198 3082607, some Indian woman saying she was from BT, telling me my router was sending error warnings that might crash my computer and they could sort it out! They’ve called a few times before, usually just hang up when I pick up, but if you’re quick you can catch them out. I twigged it was dodgy straight away since BT don’t ring you about problems - you’re meant to ring them, and if they do call it's usually from an 0800 number. So I just hung up. My number’s unlisted but these lot get around the rules by using foreign numbers that keep changing, which makes it near impossible to block them without blocking all international or withheld calls - not practical for most people. The phone companies really should clamp down harder on these muppets (the nicest word I can think of) by blocking their numbers for good, and keep blacklisting new ones as they pop up.BT10 yearsWhy does someone keep ringing me at like 2 am and then again at 3? I have no idea who it is or why they keep calling my number.11 yearsthis person claimed they were with microsoft when they called me.Microsoft11 yearsEvery day around 12:50, this number 001984614345 rings me. Does anybody know how to block it? It's really annoying me.11 yearsThis number keeps ringing my customer, and its definitely a scam call.Submit Your Own Report (98)
