01229314718 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

Got 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!

Beware 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!!

Some bloke rang up sayin' he was from this firm called PDN. Total con job, was pushin' us to purchase domain names that we've had with others for nearly two decades. When I said no, he got all shouty and started threatening to pull our site from Nominet. Proper dodgy, wouldn’t accept a simple no. Stay well clear of these scammers!

Some 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.

This 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.

I got a call from someone trying to sell me web traffic, and they were quite rude about it. Really off-putting experience.

I 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!

Got 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.

This 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.

I reckon this is some sort of con. Honestly, best to just ignore and not waste your time chatting with them.

This number rang me earlier today. The bloke on the line was pushing me to purchase some domain names connected to my company. He was quite forceful with his selling and then ended up being rude before just hanging up on me.

Got 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!

Got 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!

Avoid 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!

lol, 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 haha

Some 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.

Classic scam call. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away. No time for their rubbish.

I stupidly answered the phone and agreed to what they were selling, but it turned out to be a total scam. The service they promised never happened, so yeah, lesson learned the hard way. I'm planning to reach out to trading standards and will be digging through Facebook and LinkedIn to warn others, so hopefully fewer folks fall for this like I did.

Got 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!

Got a call from this number earlier today. A lady said she was with ICANN and mentioned that a nearby company like mine was shutting down, so a bunch of domain names were available for purchase. She tried to charge me £300 plus VAT for each one, insisting I could snap them up before they hit auction.

While still on the call, I quickly looked them up on GoDaddy and found they're listed for just $10.99 each, open to anyone.

Be careful out there, don't get caught by this sort of scam!

I 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.

Got 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.

I 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.

Got 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!

(17/01/20) - Got a ring from Amanda at BE Creative (Nominet). She basically said the same thing as someone who reported a call last year on 26/08/16. Quite familiar story really!

On 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!

I 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!

Got 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!

I got a call earlier today (26/08/16 around 16:04) from a lady claiming she was with BC group and somehow connected to Nominet.
She insisted our domain had run out (which it definitely hasn't), but didn’t specify which one she was referring to.
After that, she hinted we’d need to link to a different site in their network if we wanted to keep our domain, which all sounded a bit confusing and dodgy. It just didn’t add up, so I ended the call pretty quickly.
