Phone number ☎️ 01218241057 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to scam calls impersonating British Gas, specifically targeting boiler cover and service contracts. Callers often use heavy, difficult-to-understand accents and attempt to confirm personal details, sometimes referencing outdated addresses. Many recipients recognise these calls as fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information and recommend blocking the number immediately. There are frequent reports of silent calls, hang-ups, or inappropriate messages with no legitimate engagement. Users advise against responding or providing any information and suggest reporting the number to the official anti-scam service (7726) and contacting local MPs to address the volume of such calls.

Nope, not interested.3 yearsSome guy with an Indian accent called me, seemed like he knew my name, and started going on about my boiler cover. Thing is, my boiler’s ancient - about 35 years old - and I haven’t got any insurance on it.3 yearsGot a call on 16 June, no sound at all, then they just cut off straight away.3 yearsThey left a message with just two words, but their thick accent made it really hard to catch what they were saying. Pretty sure it wasn’t anything like a hello or friendly intro!3 yearsGot a call from someone who said they was British Gas and wanted to talk about my boiler. They even knew my name and started quoting the first line of an address I lived at five years ago, plus my current postcode. The funny thing is, I don’t even have gas connected at my place!British Gas3 yearsThey only take action at Ofcom when the scam reports start piling up. But it ain’t just up to them - every scam call needs to be reported. Check out the post below for more info. Reporting’s really the only way to get rid of these annoying scammers. Just be careful not to report legit business numbers to 7726 though. I know a few proper bank fraud teams ended up being marked as spam simply because people wrongly reported them there.Ofcom3 yearsThey rang me but didn’t leave any voicemail.3 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming it was "British Gas" about my boiler cover. Said I wasn’t on the best plan or something. I told her I don’t entertain cold calls and ended the call straightaway.

I told her it's all good and to stop calling me!3 yearsI keep getting calls from 01218241057 which is a BT number but it's just a total rip off. Why doesn't OFCOM do anything about this? While I was trying to sort out a complaint, another call came through from 07867997005 - that's a Vodafone number. Honestly, OFCOM should really be doing more to stop these scams and actually justify their fees!OFCOMVodafone3 yearsThe accent was difficult to understand, clearly of Asian origin, and it felt like a scam from the get-go.
