01218 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01218 👆 is reported as a highly persistent nuisance and scam number associated with a variety of fraudulent schemes including bogus medical alarms, fake broadband issues, false insurance renewals, and impersonation of reputable companies like BT or O2. Callers often use foreign accents, provide little to no information, or hang up when questioned. The calls frequently involve attempts to extract personal, bank, or card details, and sometimes deploy automated messages or silent calls. Many recipients report multiple daily calls, harassing early morning ring times, and threats such as legal action. Users strongly advise not answering or returning the calls, blocking the number, and never sharing personal or financial information. This number is widely recognised as a scam and burden, especially for vulnerable individuals.

Just got a call from 01218 245018, some bloke with an accent claiming to be from Medical Services. He knew my name and was going on about this alarm device that would notify emergency services if I fell. I already have one of those, so I wasn’t fooled and hung up straight away. Blocked the number now - feels like a total scam.

They asked if it was me, but when I said no and asked who it was, they just refused to say.

When I picked up, there was a bit of silence on the other end, so I told them I suspected it was a cold call and politely declined. I hung up straight away, but then they rang back right away, telling me I shouldn't have answered like that without knowing who it was. Really rude!

Whether it's 01218 Birmingham or Cambridge, makes no difference to me. They ring one number loads of times then move on to a totally different one. They clearly don't get that none of these calls are gonna get picked up.

I got a call from 01218160885 and the moment I picked up, they just ended the call straight away. It showed Birmingham on my phone, but there wasn't anything else to say where exactly or who it was. I'm pretty certain it was some kind of spam or scam, but weirdly my phone didn't flag it as suspicious.

Saw the call came up as spam, so just ignored it - I never pick up those. No message left, so it can’t have been urgent. I actually work in fraud prevention and always advise folks not to share any banking info or OTP codes under any circumstances. And I’d say steer clear of installing any remote access applications too.

Lately I've been getting loads of scam calls, probably because Christmas is around the corner. Luckily, I was in the loo when my landline rang at 9 in the morning, so I just ignored it. Usually if they start going on about home improvements or trying to sell me stuff, I just say “I’m only the tenant, not the landlord,” and they hang up faster than you can blink. Hope this tip is useful to someone!

I received a call from this number which I missed. To be honest, I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognise.

They asked for someone who doesn’t live here, and as soon as I said that, they just cut the call. Not sure what that was about, probably a scam or something. Won’t pick up if they call again, fingers crossed I haven’t been charged for that call.

Got a call from 01218 117844 at 10.21 this morning. Didn't know the number so I’m pretty sure it was a scam. Put the phone down and just kept on doing my summer curtain swap.

It’s a scam! Just switch off your answering machine, and they’ll soon give up.

Got a call from 04633 213510 at 1.08 pm. Honestly, who has a daft number like that? Definitely a dodgy caller. Checked with 1471 and it said "Last Number Unknown", so total SCAM.

Today, I encountered a rather bothersome call from this pesky scam number. They had the cheek to play a pre-recorded message in an English voice stating, "We'll get back to you shortly. Should you wish to halt our calls, kindly ring this number." Honestly, only a fool would take them up on that offer, I reckon.

This number 01218116674 keeps ringing me early in the mornings, like around 7 am, which is really unsettling. You end up thinking something serious might've happened to your family with that kind of wake-up call.

Got nothing every time, feels like a scam. People keep ringing almost daily. I'm 81, no need for this at all.

Every scam call is risky since their aim is to trick you into giving them your cash somehow.
