Phone number ☎️ 01226698230 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance linked to multiple scam attempts, primarily involving false claims of lottery or prize winnings.

Blocking the number and ignoring calls are commonly recommended. Authorities and telecom providers have yet to effectively curb these calls, so vigilance and caution remain essential.

I keep gettin' a recorded message when I call this number sayin' it’s been disconnected cause they might’ve broken some rules. They also say it’s not a mobile phone and my call could've been forwarded internationally. The message mentioned another number, 01226 698232, but it smells like a proper scam to me. Definitely some dodgy stuff going on here.

I got a call from someone claiming I’d won a holiday and a money voucher. They asked for my address and email first, said they wouldn’t need my bank info. But then they suddenly asked for my bank account number to “take £1 to confirm my identity”. That’s when I just hung up straight away!

So this person called me, claiming to be from the Postcode Lottery. They told me I'd won a 40% discount on restaurants and a free plane ticket anywhere I wanted. Then they asked for my bank details so they could send me £1 to verify who I am. I just wanted to warn everyone not to get caught up in this trick!

I got a call about my Aviva Life Insurance, which is odd cause I don’t have any life insurance at all. I decided to humour them and see where it went. The bloke even rattled off an old address I left about 7 years back! I let him ramble on a bit, then told him straight - I don’t have any policy with Aviva. His reply? “Thanks for wasting my time.” Gotta admit, it was pretty funny!

I always let the other person start talking first (my mates know I do this). Today, there was just silence so I switched up my voice to say hello. Then nothing, just quiet, and they ended the call.

Missed the call since it's not a number we're familiar with and no voicemail was left either. The area code showed Barnsley, but I only know a single person there and it definitely wasn't them. Looking at past reports, calling it just "Negative" feels like an understatement - I'd say it's a scam for sure. Aren't all scams supposed to be risky anyway?

Somebody rang up saying they were from the Postcode Lottery, which I’ve never even entered. They already knew my name and my postcode, which was a bit creepy. They told me I’d won a £300 gift voucher. But just as they were about to send it, they asked me to verify some info, like which age bracket I fell into, 20-30, 30-40, and so on. I didn’t want to share my age, so I declined, and they just ended the call.

Ever wondered why when you pick up the phone there’s just silence? It’s probably because they’ve blasted dozens of calls out and somehow your number got connected to a scammer. Surely the phone companies need to get a grip and stop these silent calls from happening!

Got a call from this number again today, supposedly from the Barnsley region, around 7:43 in the morning. I usually let calls from unfamiliar numbers ring out, mainly if they come at odd hours. Since there was no voicemail message, I figured it was just another telemarketing attempt. Saw some other reviews saying they ask for bank info, so sounds like it’s a scam.

Got a call today, 30/10/2021, from a woman claiming to be calling about the Postcode Lottery. She told me I'd won £300 and some shopping vouchers, but I’ve never entered any such lottery. She kept chatting until she asked for my bank details. That’s when I said I’d ring back later and ended the call. Definitely seems like a scam to me!

I got a call saying it was from the national lottery, claiming my postcode had won something. They also tried to sell me a discount card for some popular stores. I said no thank you a couple of times and then just hung up.
