Phone number ☎️ 01229314718 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving aggressive sales tactics to pressure recipients into buying overpriced domain names supposedly linked to retiring local businesses. Callers often impersonate legitimate organisations or claim affiliations with website providers and government bodies, using misleading threats about website suspension or legal issues. They frequently refuse to accept rejection, becoming rude or abusive, and hang up abruptly when challenged. Many warnings highlight that genuine domains can be acquired cheaply through reputable registrars. Users are advised to remain vigilant, verify claims independently, and avoid engaging with or purchasing from these callers. Blocking the number and reporting to authorities like Trading Standards is recommended to prevent falling victim to this fraudulent scheme.

6 yearsGot a call from a firm claiming to be PDN, said they were into marketing. Definitely sounded dodgy. When I questioned them, they claimed to be one of our clients and told me to take down their endorsement from our site since I hadn’t connected them to the Director. Thing is, I know the real client they're pretending to be, and when I brought that up, they just dropped the call. Proper idiot!PDN6 yearsBeware of a guy called 'Luke' - total SCAM! He says he works for some website company and insists we owe money for a domain they claim we’ve been paying for over eight years. Problem is, we’ve never handed them a penny. Don’t fall for it!!Luke6 yearsI received a call from a so-called firm named PDN. Completely dodgy! They were pressuring me to purchase additional domain names that we've not used in ages, thanks to earlier providers managing them for over 17 years. When I declined their offer, they got hostile and even had the audacity to threaten to take down our website with Nominet! The whole experience was aggressive, and they just wouldn't accept a firm 'no'. Such a scam, steer clear of them!PDNNominet6 yearsSome bloke rang saying he was from this PDN company, but it was just a total con. They were trying to pressure us into buying domain names that other firms have had for like 17 years. When I told him no, he got all rude and even threatened to delete our site through Nominet. Proper pushy and didn’t accept a simple no. Just stay clear, it’s definitely a scam.PDNNominet6 yearsThis number kept ringing me claiming to be from some ‘government agency’. After I ended the call once, they kept phoning again and again without stopping.6 yearsI got a call from someone trying to sell me web traffic, and they were quite rude about it. Really off-putting experience.6 yearsI got a call from a guy who spoke really quickly. When I asked him to slow down and repeat what he said, he just wanted to chat with one of the directors. I told him they were all away on holiday, but he claimed he had their mobile numbers. Then, out of nowhere, he just hung up. Tried calling him back but the call wouldn’t go through. Definitely feels like a scam to me!6 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be about our domain renewal - proper rude bloke as well! When I told him to talk to our IT lot instead, he just slammed the phone down. Then he rings back, having a go at me for hanging up on him, which I hadn’t done. Next thing, he’s shouting that he needs to speak to a director to complain about me, then off he goes and hangs up again! Honestly, if that’s not a scam, I don’t know what is.6 yearsThis bloke was trying to push some domain name services on me that I didn’t need at all. He kept saying stuff was ‘illegal’, which is totally not true. Don’t fall for these con artists.6 yearsI reckon this is some sort of con. Honestly, best to just ignore and not waste your time chatting with them.7 yearsI just got a call from Domain Name Slammers, really annoying! I blocked their number straight away. Definitely don’t pick up if you get a call from them.Raiders7 yearsOn 13/08/19, I was in a meeting and asked if it was a sales call. The guy lied, telling me it was about my interior design services, then just ended the call!7 yearsReceived a call from this number earlier today. The chap on the line was keen on convincing me to purchase some domain names tied to my business. His approach was quite pushy, employing all sorts of hard-sell tactics. When I didn't bite, his tone turned nasty, and he abruptly cut the conversation short. Quite the unpleasant experience!7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're selling me a domain for a local bloke who's retiring. Turns out, I checked and the domain's up for grabs on 123-reg for just £10. Don't get tricked like I almost did!7 yearsGot called by someone trying to flog a domain name, felt like a total rip-off to me. Be careful, looks like one of those sketchy sales tactics!7 yearsAvoid purchasing any of their domain names. They seem to gather info from public sources like nominet and then contact you pretending to offer domains linked to a nearby business that’s closing down. Naturally, they won’t tell you who exactly. If you’re curious about domain names, just listen to their pitch but don’t pay upfront. Instead, check your usual domain registrar where you can snap up good domains for under £10 straight away. Don’t hand over any cash to these people!Nominet7 yearslol, sounds a lot like what others have said here. I asked the guy if people really fall for this scam and he just said "I EARNED 6K LAST WEEK" then slammed the phone down haha8 yearsGot a call from someone wanting to push domain names on me. Total scam, watch out!8 yearsSome bloke phoned up trying to flog domain names, and the error he made was claiming he was calling for someone I actually know. I called him back and got a bunch of swearing thrown my way.8 yearsClassic scam call. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away. No time for their rubbish.8 yearsRegrettably, I fell into the trap and engaged with them, even agreeing to their so-called offer. What they promised certainly didn’t materialise - a classic case of being duped, I suppose. I’ll be reaching out to trading standards about this and will scour through various Facebook and LinkedIn groups to warn others and prevent them from becoming victims like I did.FacebookLinkedIn8 yearsGot a phone call from this number earlier. The lady said she was with ICANN and mentioned that a nearby company like mine was closing down, with some domain names available. She wanted to sell them for £300 each plus VAT, saying I could buy them first before they’re auctioned off. While she was still speaking, I looked up the domains on GoDaddy and saw they're listed for just $10.99, open to everyone! Don’t get tricked by this, it’s definitely a scam!ICANNGoDaddy8 yearsI’ve just had a call from this number. A woman on the line claimed to be representing ICANN and informed me that a local business akin to mine was closing down, with various domain names available for purchase. She wanted £300 each, plus VAT! According to her, I could snap these up before they hit the auction block. While she was chattering away, I took the liberty of looking them up on GoDaddy, and wouldn’t you know it, they’re listed online for anyone to buy at just $10.99! Don’t be taken in by this, folks!ICANNGoDaddy9 yearsI got a call about our domain supposedly being suspended and that there was a fee to sort it out. When we told them we’re actually a nominet registrar, they didn’t take it well and kept spouting rubbish. Proper dodgy call.Nominet9 yearsGot a ring earlier today from someone claiming the owner of my domain was stepping down and that I could take it over. I told them to email me instead since my son-in-law usually handles this stuff. Afterwards, I looked up the number to see who it really was.9 yearsI got a call from someone wanting to talk to the person in charge of my website. When I said I was the one who designed and managed it, she hesitated a bit. Then she started saying my website was "illegal," which made me stop her right away and hang up, after which I blocked the number.9 yearsGot a call peddling a web domain deal for £6.99 - total scam, they wanted £599 plus VAT in reality. You can snag the same domain on 123reg way cheaper. Watch out, these are dodgy crooks!10 years(20th January 2017) - I received a phone call from an Amanda representing BE Creative at Nominet. It mirrored a previous report from another individual dated 26th August 2016, which was rather intriguing.AmandaBE CreativeNominet10 yearsOn 17th Jan 2020, someone named Amanda from Be Creative Web Domains rang me up. She was pushing some fancy search term linked to a website owner who’s apparently retired. Be warned, if you bite, it’ll cost you about £200! What a cheek!Amanda10 yearsI got a call from someone pushing domain names for loads of money, even though you can get them for just a few pence elsewhere. They were really pushy, trying to force me to buy immediately. When I said no, they just ended the call on me. Honestly, avoid these scammy types at all costs!10 yearsGot a call from some company claiming I had to reregister my website or they'd put it up on a web auction site. Totally sounded like a scam to me. Watch out!10 yearsI received a rather dubious call earlier today (26/08/16 at 16:04) from a representative claiming to be with the BC group associated with Nominet. The caller asserted that our domain name had lapsed, which is simply untrue. What struck me as particularly odd was the lack of clarity regarding which specific domain they were referencing. The conversation then took a bizarre turn as she suggested we could sort it by linking to another website within the same industry in return for 'registering' our site. It was all quite muddled and nonsensical, even for someone apparently up to no good. At that point, I decided it was best to hang up.BCNominetSubmit Your Own Report (01229 314718)
