01216 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01216 👆 is reported as a source of persistent scam and nuisance calls primarily originating from Birmingham numbers, often involving dubious claims from supposed housing, internet, medical alarm, or bank representatives. Callers frequently use aggressive or silent tactics, hanging up when challenged or immediately after answering. They attempt to elicit sensitive details or prompt recipients to press keys, potentially to install remote access software or facilitate fraud. Many report calls with no message left, repeated rings, or pre-recorded warnings about account withdrawals and internet issues. The numbers appear to be exploited by scammers, and blocking or ignoring unknown calls is widely advised. Users caution against engaging or providing any information, as these calls are associated with fraudulent activity and potential financial risk.
Reports on phone number 01216
8 monthsDidn’t pick up, knew straight away it was a scam call. This marks the third time I’ve had the same rubbish on my phone today.11 monthsJust got a call from 01216304714, some Asian lady called Anna claiming she’s from housing repairs. I told her I’m the owner here and I wasn’t interested. As soon as I said I knew it was a scam, she hung up straight away. Such a dodgy call!Anna12 monthsGot a call on my mobile that seemed dodgy so I just ignored it.1 yearSo, I got a phone call from a woman who spoke very politely, asking if I had any issues with mould or damp in my rental property. Thing is, I don’t rent anywhere! When I asked her which company she worked for, she just ended the call straight away. Feels a bit dodgy to me. The number that showed up was 01216304180.2 yearsGot a text from this number saying there was a £300 withdrawal from my bank account. It's definitely a scam. Watch out!2 yearsThere was a pause before he answered. The voice was a man, sounded Indian. What creeped me out was he actually knew my name. He claimed he was calling about some cyber security issue. When I told him it was a scam, he began yelling at me.2 yearsGot a call off 01216 333013. The phone showed it as ‘The Windsor’ and it’s a Birmingham area code. Didn’t pick up, but pretty sure it’s just one of those annoying calls.Birmingham2 yearsGot a call from 01216 301425 claiming to be UK Medical Alarm Services. As soon as I said I wasn't keen, they hung up straight away.UK Medical Alarm Services2 yearsGot a ring from a number claiming to be from Birmingham on my phone. The caller ID showed some Asian names too. Didn’t pick up, obviously, but looked it up here and saw it’s linked to loads of scams, like banking fraud and stuff. Then I came across another site called Switchboard Free near the top of Google, where you can buy a ‘virtual’ number with that same area code. Sounds like a perfect tool for scammers to use.BirminghamSwitchboard FreeGoogle2 years01216672530 rang my landline earlier. I didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar. My thinking is if it’s urgent, they’d leave a voicemail. Nope, nothing left.3 years01216304561 - No sound at all when I answered, so I just ended the call.3 yearsGot a call from 01216303916 but when I checked it on the site it said no number found, so I just blocked it.4 years01216 674172 rang me but I didn’t get any message. Just blocked it 🚫.4 yearsGot a call at 10:43 on the 30th of March 2022 - didn’t answer it.5 yearsI got a call from 0121663668 and as soon as I picked up, they just cut off. Could this be some scammer from Birmingham?Birmingham5 yearsGot a call from 01216 205 63 186 earlier today. They hung up right before I picked up, which was probably for the best. Usually, anyone worth talking to shows up with their name on my phone since I've got them saved, so if it’s a random number I don’t know, I just tend to block it straight away.5 yearsI just don’t get why, if a phone number is obviously involved in something dodgy, they can’t just cut off the line and go after the people messing about with it. 01216 3022765 yearsSome days, God only knows rings me up then just cuts off straight away.5 yearsThey claimed money was taken from my bank, clearly a dodgy scam and really risky.6 yearsThis number and a couple of others have been ringing me since 9 this morning. I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t know.6 yearsGot a call from 012169461216 saying cash was taken from my account, asked me to press 1 to speak to someone. I didn’t do anything and just let the call drop.6 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Virgin Media, trying to make me install some kind of remote access app on my phone or computer. Bet it’s so they can take control and then ask for cash to give it back!Virgin Media6 yearsGot a call this morning from 01216987604, with a woman’s recorded voice saying my internet would be cut off in four hours if I didn’t press 1 to talk to my provider. Yesterday, we had loads of calls from the same lot - real people this time, different ones every time, all with strong Asian/Indian accents. They claimed to be Virgin Media, saying their engineers noticed issues with my hub (which was fine) and wanted to know what colour the router was showing. One caller got a bit nasty when I said it sounded like a scam and others just hung up. That number was 02830163745.Virgin Media6 yearsThis number 01216476313 called me a couple of nights back. It's not the first time either. When I picked up, they just hung up straight away. Honestly, these calls are really irritating. I've saved the number in my phone under a special name so I won't accidentally pick up if they ring again.6 yearsGot a call from 01216370436 today, 26/11/20, where a recorded female voice warned me about some suspicious activity on my BT internet line, telling me to press 1 to talk to a supervisor. What’s weird is that it happened exactly when I was struggling to get online and had to restart my router to fix it. Bit too perfect timing, if you ask me! If you’re silly enough to press 1, they’ll probably try to install some remote software and take over your computer - and maybe even your bank info.BT6 yearsGot a call from 01216 740606 this morning at 8:30. When I answered and said "Hello," there was complete silence and then they just ended the call.7 yearsGot a call from 01216784623 today, they left a message sayin they're from my bank and some money's being taken out overseas. Didn’t press 1 like they wanted! Just a heads up, watch out for this.7 yearsMy phone’s been ringing all day with no one speaking when I pick up. This is the third time today! I’m really fed up now. Blocked these numbers 01216 863658 and 01460649511.7 years01216 673093: got a couple calls from this number today. It keeps ringing a few times and then stops, but I wouldn’t pick up as I don’t know who it is.8 years01216619585 - picked up but no one spoke, then they just cut off after a bit, sounds like a call centre trick, ringing loads of numbers and only chatting to the first person who picks up! Proper annoying - got 1572 again - just junk calls, feels like they're my constant pest!!!8 yearsGot a call from 01216939371, no idea who it was. As soon as I picked up, they just hung up. Feels like a scam attempt. Had something similar before - when I said I don’t have a computer, they quickly ended the call.8 years01216 278427 rang me about a supposed router problem. They said some “technical team” needed info from me. I asked which company they were with since I just got a new router, but they refused to give any company name. When I said I’d record the call and asked to talk to a manager, they just hung up. Tried calling back but no answer. Feels like a scam to me.9 yearsOver the last few days I've been getting calls from 01216 818241 and a few other 01216 numbers that show up as unknown when I check on 1471. Proper annoying!9 yearsThis number 01216289428 has called me around four times today. Every time I pick up, they just cut off.

I just ignore them all, got caller ID so I only pick up for mates or known contacts.9 years01216 547286 called me 3 times today, first time I picked up they hung up right away, the second time I ignored it and it just stopped ringing after a bit, third time same thing. I checked with BT and they said it's a nuisance call.BT9 yearsGot a call from 01216 483203 around 4 in the afternoon on the 28th of August. The person said they was from TalkTalk and asked for the account holder, but they used my old surname, so their details must be really out of date, like more than 2 years ago or something.TalkTalk9 yearsGot a call from 01216483204 on the Bank Holiday and they just dropped the call straight away.9 yearsGot a call from 01216759120 just as I was about to have my tea.

This is the third time this week they've tried to get hold of me.9 yearsGot a call from 01216236854 saying they were from Windows about my PC, total scam. The woman had no clue about my details and just fed me rubbish before hanging up on me.9 yearsI got a call from 01216236854, they said they were from Windows about my PC. Total scam! The woman on the phone didn’t have a clue and when I didn’t fall for it she just started talking rubbish and then hung up on me.9 years012162366854 has rang me a couple times this week, when I picked up it got cut off straight away. Then when my missus answered it, it was some bloke named Mark about my computer.Mark9 yearsGot a call on April 8th about 10 in the morning from 01216 236854. There was loads of noise in the background, but a bloke with an American accent said he was ringing about my computer. I just ended the call after that.9 yearsMy partner answered a call from 01216236854 but just heard loads of noise in the background and then he just ended the call. I rang 1471 afterwards and a BT automated message told me straight away to just hang up! Definitely seems like a scam to me.9 yearsA woman from some car crash firm rang me on 01216125337 about an accident, I told her she seemed to know more about it than I did!?? I just hung up on her.9 yearsGot a call from this number but have no clue who it was.

I tried picking up but no reply.11 yearsThis evening, I received a trio of calls in rapid succession from numbers 01202, 01216, and 01125, all between 3:15 and 3:25. Strangely, each time it was just silence on the other end, which I found quite bothersome. Has anyone got any tips on how to put an end to this nonsense?11 yearsLast night at about 11:45 and again at 3:30 this morning, we received calls from the number mentioned above. Has anyone got a clue as to what this might be? When I answered at 11:45, there was nothing but silence on the other end!11 yearsWe missed the call initially, but just a few seconds later, we dialled 1417 and tried reaching the number only to find out that the office shuts at 5pm. Oddly enough, our phone rang at twenty-one minutes past.11 years01216 hung up as soon as I asked who was calling.11 yearsI received calls from 01200 at 15:14, followed by 01121 at 16:12, and then 01216 at 18:31. It’s rather peculiar that these numbers appeared to be quite unusual, and considering they all rang me on the same evening, could there be a connection between them?12 yearsReceived a call for the very first time at half past seven last night. We didn’t answer since we were unfamiliar with the number. What’s odd is that they failed to leave a message on our answering machine. Does anyone know how to get rid of these persistent callers?
