Reports on phone number 01212840880
8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Telstra tech support here in Australia, saying our fibre connection was damaged and they needed to check our gadgets. I told them the modem looked fine and asked if they could ring back later. The bloke said his name was Brian Joseph and gave me the number 01212840880, then just hung up suddenly. Pretty clear it was a scam because Telstra would never handle things like that.TelstraAustraliaBrian Joseph9 yearsDon’t answer, it’s definitely a scam call! Just put the phone down straight away.9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT, telling me my IP address had been hacked. The call showed up from a local number. I asked for a number to ring them back on, and they gave me 01212840880. Didn't bother calling them back though, seemed like a total scam to me.BT9 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was with BT, saying hackers were using my PC and he was gonna block 'em. Seriously, don't ever let anyone get into your computer like that. Usually, these scams involve installing some dodgy software and then charging you to get rid of it. Just be super cautious - real companies like BT, Plusnet, Virgin, Sky or TalkTalk don’t usually ring up about this stuff. Hope this saves someone from the hassle. Cheers, dbhBTPlusnetVirginSkyTalkTalkDBH9 yearsToday I got a call much like others here, someone said my phone line was hacked and they were from Virgin Media’s tech team. They tried to get me to switch on my computer but I didn’t fall for it and hung up. Later I phoned Virgin myself and they told me it wasn’t them calling and my line was all good.Virgin MediaVirgin9 yearsTotal con! They purport to be representatives of 'TalkTalk', but it's all just a ruse. They're linked to breaching personal accounts.TalkTalk9 yearsSome dodgy folks called me saying they were from TalkTalk and BT, but I’m not so sure. When I asked for a number to ring them back, they gave me one starting 0121. Does anyone know where I can report these scammers?BTTalkTalk9 yearssomebody called saying he was brian from bt and said our internet needed upgrading. i asked him where he was from, he said 81 newgate street and his phone number was 01212840880. before i called back, I asked how he got to work each day, like which bus or tube stop he used, then he just hung up.BrianBTNewgate Street9 yearsI got a call from a guy claiming to be from TalkTalk, saying there was an issue with our IP address. He shared his phone number, employer ID, and an address with me - but the address was in London while the phone number had a Birmingham code. I told him to call back when my husband was home. Later on, I looked up the address and found out it’s actually BT’s main office. Pretty sure it was a scam.TalkTalkLondonBirminghamBT9 yearsthis woman called saying she was with bt and told me there were hackers messing up phones nearby. she asked me to switch on my computer and said she’d guide me through fixing it. i told her i wasn’t sure if she was legit and that i’d call back later. when i asked for her phone number she gave me 01212840880.BT9 yearsGot a call today from a guy with a weird foreign accent claiming to be from Sky’s tech support. He said someone overseas was messing with my broadband and I wouldn’t be able to see my IP address anymore. I told him I’d just call Sky myself, but he insisted the real Sky wouldn’t fix it ‘cause it was a technical glitch. Sounded like a total scam to me. When I asked for his number, he gave 01212840880 and said his name was Mick. Quite suspicious if you ask me.SkyMick9 yearssome woman called claiming to be from bt, said there were hackers messing with phone lines nearby. she told me to switch on my computer and she'd guide me through fixing it. i wasn't sure if she was legit, so i told her i'd double check and she could ring me again later. i asked for her number and she gave 01212840880.BT9 yearsAround 9.15 on the morning of 13th November 2017, i got a call from someone sayin he was with talktalk. he started on about my internet connection but i told him straight away i was just the cleaner and had no idea about the internet stuff my boss sorts out. he said sorry for bothering me and ended the call.TalkTalk9 yearsToday (03/11/17) at around 13:25 GMT I got a call from the number above but with "00" in front, so it showed as 0001212840880 on my call logger. As soon as I answered, the person hung up straight away, so I couldn’t tell what they wanted but I’m pretty sure it was some kinda scam. I’ve marked it as unknown but would definitely warn anyone else who gets a call from this number to be very careful. Using a call logger or dialing 1471 to check who called can be useful. Most importantly, don’t bother calling back or you might end up with a hefty phone bill.9 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was with my internet company, claiming there was a hacker issue on my router.
