Phone number ☎️ 01217519701 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls, often impersonating major UK mobile providers such as O2, Three, EE, and occasionally utility companies. Callers typically offer discounted deals, request personal information like email addresses, or employ high-pressure tactics but lack specific account knowledge. Many users describe automated hang-ups or aggressive sales pitches, and some report recent attempts to hack accounts linked with simultaneous suspicious text messages.

Reports on phone number 01217519701
3 yearsThey keep ringing my phone and the second I pick up, they just drop the call! Proper annoying!3 yearsI’ve had calls from this number before, and I usually just ignore it.3 yearsI've gotten calls from different numbers just like others here mentioned. When I picked up, some robot just said 'Goodbye' and ended the call right away. I'll put the number on my block list, but I bet it'll show up again with a new number.3 yearsDidn’t pick up, seemed dodgy like a scam call.3 yearsI didnt pick up when it rang, but after checking the number here I found out it was a scam.3 yearsThis really feels like a scam to me. I picked up just 'cause I usually answer dodgy numbers to annoy whoever's calling, but no way are they legit O2, even though they keep saying they are.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Three offering a massive 40% off, but when I asked them what phone I was using, they had no clue. Total scam!3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from 3, kept saying "ma'am" like every other sentence. They tried to convince me they could sort me out with a better deal. Total nonsense! They had zero info about me so definitely not a genuine 3 rep. Scam through and through.3 yearsI’ve had weird calls from this number 0121 751 9701 - they say they need to check my email for security reasons after I switched it up on my 02 account. Feels like they’re trying to mess with my info or something. Definitely fishy!3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Eon, seemed fishy though. The weird part was how they already knew when our electric contract finishes. Definitely felt like a scam to me.Eon3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from O2, calling as if they were my network provider. I told them I’m not with O2, and then they started saying I was actually with Virgin instead. I said that wasn’t right. Then he asked who I use for my phone - I told him if he were really from my provider, he should know that already. Definitely a scam.Virgin3 yearsIf you see this number pop up, just ignore it - it’s definitely a scam!3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with O2 and trying to sell me unlimited data plus 1000 international mins for only £8 a month. Asked for my email, but I wouldn’t hand it over since they should already have that info. The guy claimed he wasn’t in sales, so that’s why he supposedly didn’t have it. I told him to sort it out with sales then, as there’s no way I’m sharing my details over the phone.O23 yearsThey said they were ringing from Three mobile, but I don’t think it was legit.Three Mobile3 yearsBEWARE! I got a call from someone claiming to be EE, who immediately started saying I’d get a 40% discount on my bill for a whole year. He was quite pushy and wanted loads of my info to “confirm” everything. I barely said anything at first, and he tried to get my email and other personal details. When I said I wasn’t interested in any upgrades, he sounded genuinely shocked and asked why. I told him a made-up excuse about poor signal where I live. Then he told me I should complain about it and implied it’d be sorted right away once I accepted the upgrade. He also asked how much my last bill was - which felt a bit dodgy since that’s sometimes used as a security check. When I asked for the account holder’s name, he weirdly started reading out my phone number and asking if it was right. I ignored that and repeated my question, and he said his system was acting up and urged me to give my email to send me a “mystery gift box” tomorrow. There was loads of noise in the background, and I wasn’t sure I’d heard him correctly. When he repeated it, I called it out as a scam. He insisted it wasn’t and kept pushing to confirm my email for a “gift hamper with an iPad delivery tomorrow.” I just said no thanks and he hung up.EE3 yearsI recently updated the email linked to my 02 account because someone was trying to access it without permission. Just after that, I got a call from the number 0121 751 9701 asking to verify my new email for security purposes! Quite suspicious if you ask me.3 yearsSomeone rang claiming to be from O2. I just told them no thanks nicely and ended the call. Then they dialled me straight back from another number. Such a pointless hassle!3 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with 3 mobile, offering a phone plan for £8 monthly. I said no thanks in a nice way, but she got all defensive and began talking over me. So I just ended the call. Blocked the number straight away.3 Mobile3 yearsIgnore it, always do with unknown numbers. I don't pick up calls from numbers I don't recognise - usually scams.3 yearsNo clue who that was, I missed their call earlier. Went to ring back but the number just doesn’t seem to be valid or working.3 yearsI just let it ring out and didn’t pick up or anything, probably just some dodgy scam call so spared myself the hassle of talking to them.3 yearsGot a call from someone pushing the newest iPhone. Told them I already have a phone and wasn’t looking to switch. Then they started asking all sorts about my SIM plan. I just ended the call there.3 yearsJust before I received a random call from some guy claiming he was from O2, I had actually got a one-time code for my O2 account. Pretty obvious that was a scam!3 yearsHad to block this scammer, kept calling nonstop!3 yearsHad a call from a woman with an accent, said she was with O2 and trying to offer me some discounts but needed my info for “security purposes.” Sounded like a total con to grab my details. I told her me phone battery was nearly dead and asked if she could ring me back on my home phone instead. She was quick to agree, so I handed her the number for the City of London Police Fraud team. Hope she enjoys wasting her time on that one, what a dodgy scammer!City of London Police Fraud3 yearsGot a call from this number earlier. The lady’s voice was hard to make out, sounded a bit odd. I told her to ring me later because something didn’t seem right. Now I’m happy I waited after seeing all these messages.3 yearsGot a call claiming to be from O2, total scam as always. Honestly, just ignore any calls from numbers you don’t recognise - it’s not worth the hassle. Really frustrating how the gov and the phone firms don’t crack down harder on these fraudsters.3 yearsGot a text claiming to be from O2 about a security code request I'd never made. Just as this showed up, my phone rang from a Manchester area code. After hanging up, the phone rang once more, this time from a Birmingham number. The guy on the line said he was with O2 and had a 40% discount deal for my phone bill. Felt dodgy straight away, so I ended the call. When I checked the Manchester number online, I found a few other people had the same sort of scam experience, like what happened with the Birmingham one.ManchesterBirmingham3 yearsIf I get a call from a number I don’t know, I usually just don’t pick up, most of the time it’s some kind of spam anyway.3 yearsGot a call from 01217519701 on my phone but didn’t pick up since I didn’t know the number. No voicemail or anything left behind, so with all the searches I've done, it seems like it’s probably a dodgy call. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were from O2 but it was definitely a scam.3 yearsThey were acting like they were from o2, but honestly, it’s pretty obvious it’s a con.3 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming he was from O2. I told him that if he really worked there, he should be able to tell me my current tariff straight away. He went on about “security reasons” and said he couldn’t, which felt like total rubbish since it’s pretty simple to check. Then he tried to trick me by sending an OTP that looked just like the genuine O2 messages. I swore at him, and he swore back, which was a dead giveaway - no real employee would behave like that. Proper dodgy characters, the lot of them.3 yearsThese people are definitely con artists.Submit Your Own Report (0121 751 9701)
