Phone number โ๏ธ 01233281270 ๐ is reported as a persistent scam operation where callers impersonate BT technical support to alarm recipients about supposed internet or security issues. They often provide a call-back number that is linked to repeated fraudulent activity. The callers use various names, sometimes with accents for added authenticity, and frequently pressure victims to access their computers or provide personal information. Multiple victims have noted the same call-back number and suspicious behaviour, with some even receiving calls during inconvenient times or involving minors. Victims are advised to remain cautious, never share personal or computer access details, and verify any such calls independently by using official BT contact channels or trusted resources online. This scam is widespread, highly organised, and should be treated with utmost caution.
Reports on phone number 01233281270
5 yearsI've had the same individuals ring me multiple times from the same numbers. Unfortunately, when they called, my 9-year-old daughter picked up, as we were otherwise engaged. They had the audacity to carry on with their con even with her on the line-absolutely disgraceful! These people truly lack any decency or integrity; they're the lowest of the low. It’s disheartening to think that there's little we can do to stop them. They’ll just reinvent their deceitful tactics. Thankfully, my daughter got spooked and hung up. They rang again later, attempting the same trick with me, but I wasn’t having any of it!5 yearsSo I got a call from this bloke with an Indian accent, number was 0121 797 1750. He claimed to be from BT tech support saying there were issues with my phone line, but BT isn’t even my provider. He asked about what service I have at home and stuff. I said I’d ring back later and asked for their contact number. He gave me 0123 3281270. After waiting a bit and looking it up, I’m starting to think it was just a spam call.BT6 yearsI received a rather dubious call from a chap named "Jacob Teller" on 01292 710521. When I promptly requested to speak with a supervisor, they handed me the number 01233 281270 instead. So, I decided to give the supervisor, "David Wilson," a piece of my mind regarding these pesky scam calls. He barely defended himself and even had the audacity to sneer at me for holding him accountable. I made it abundantly clear that I firmly believe in karma and wish him a fitting reprimand for his actions. I also mentioned that I’d be sharing his number online-consider it done! Now, feeling somewhat composed, I’ve even placed ten nuisance calls back to him for good measure. Honestly, these individuals are the worst.Jacob TellerDavid Wilson6 yearsI had a rather unsettling experience, much like some others have mentioned. I received a phone call from someone named 'Edward' on 01688 024402, claiming to be from BT's technical support team. He informed me that my internet was allegedly downloading harmful software and jeopardising both my device and their main server. Interestingly, he had a noticeable Asian accent, which I suppose is a nod to the global nature of some of BT’s tech staff. He attempted to connect me with a 'senior adviser,' but I requested a callback number instead. He promptly provided 01233 281270. I've never searched for a phone number online before, but I was pleasantly surprised by how effective that turned out to be! Cheers for this site-I certainly won't be returning his call!EdwardBT6 yearsI’ve just had a rather amusing phone call from someone claiming to be ‘Eton Wilson’. Honestly, does anyone actually believe a name like that? If you’re going to pretend to be someone, at least use an Asian moniker! He insisted I needed to power up my laptop because I was supposedly interfering with the BT signal in my vicinity. How absurd! I don’t even have BT! His response? “Ah, but BT supports all the service providers, and we operate on their behalf.” Quite the sales pitch, wasn't it? He seemed quite genuine, even supplying me with a reference number when I dialled back to speak to him! This, after I’d expressed my doubts about any potential scams. He rang from 01224 415528, and provided me with a callback number of 01233281270. Stay vigilant, everyone! There are plenty of viruses out there, it seems! ๐ This one certainly sounds a bit dodgy! Cheers, Donna ๐กโค๏ธEton WilsonBTDonna6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from BT on an Edinburgh number 0131 796 3785. They told me my computer had a security problem. I asked them for a number to ring back on and he gave me 01233 281270, said it was from Ashford, Kent. I've blocked both numbers and reported them now.BTEdinburghAshfordKent6 yearsI received a rather dodgy call on my mobile from the number 01706 193140. The caller, who identified himself as 'Thomas Gray', claimed to be from BT and had a noticeable Indian accent. He insisted that my computer was infected with some sort of malicious software. When I mentioned that I'd prefer to call him back, he provided me with the number 01233281270. Typically, I like to inquire if their mothers are aware of their dishonest ways, which usually sends them packing. Suffice it to say, there’s no chance I'll be ringing back!Thomas GrayBT6 yearsI recently received a call from 01244 229892, with the caller purporting to be from BT. When I mentioned I would return their call, they provided this number. Fortunately, I decided to look it up online, and it’s evidently a scam.BT6 yearsI recently had an unexpected phone call from what supposedly was the BT technical support team, using the number 01969 171768. They claimed to be following up regarding our Wi-Fi and internet service. When they requested that I hop onto my laptop, I explained that I was rather busy at the moment and asked for a callback number, as the whole situation felt a bit suspicious. They gave me the number 012332 81270 to ring back. The caller seemed keen on knowing when I’d be able to return the call, and even mentioned they might reach out again tomorrow if I didn’t. Quite the strange affair, I must say!BT6 yearsI just had a rather strange phone call from someone claiming to be Andrew Wilson. He said he was from BT, discussing some issues with my internet connection. While he seemed quite persuasive, there was something decidedly off about the whole interaction. Eventually, he mentioned needing to guide me through my computer to resolve the problem. I firmly declined. There was no way I was letting him access any of my personal information or devices. I told him point blank that he could be anyone and I wasn’t about to waste any more of my time without verifying things myself. He instructed me to ring back on 01233281270 and request Andrew Wilson, even providing a job ID number. The number he originally called from was different: 01790852862 - SPILSBY, which only heightened my suspicions. I’ve tried to trace the number, but cannot find any link to BT at all. I’m convinced this was a scam call, and I absolutely will not be returning the call.Andrew WilsonBT6 yearsThis number rang me up saying someone was trying to break into our internet system and that we should log into a device to sort it out. Seemed pretty dodgy to me. I asked for a contact number to call back but it just rang a couple of times and went dead. They never asked for any real verification or info about our internet service. Definitely stay cautious with these calls.6 yearsI’ve just experienced something similar. A caller claimed to represent BT and rang my mobile, yet they couldn't provide any details regarding my BT account. Quite suspicious, really!BT6 yearsCalled claiming to be from BT, stating there was some sort of cyber threat jeopardising service that required immediate attention.BT6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT tech support about strange stuff happening on my internet and supposed faults. Seemed a bit off to me.BT6 yearsSomeone is masquerading as BT, insisting that the connection isn't safe.BT6 yearsPretending to represent BT.BT6 yearsI had a rather alarming phone call today from a lady named Suzanne Smith, who claimed to be based in London (specifically from 81 Newgate Street, EC1A7AJ, if you can believe it!). She provided a phone number, 01233281270, and insisted that there had been some dodgy activity linked to my internet account, mentioning that harmful software had been installed without my knowledge. When I pointed out that the 01233 area code wasn’t from London at all, she spun a tale about using an internet line. Strangely, she asserted that my husband had shared my home number and the details of my internet provider with her. Thankfully, just prior, I had a chat with my husband, who also received a call from her and was rightly sceptical, refusing to part with any information. She was incredibly pushy, trying to extract my personal details, but I didn’t fall for it. Total SCAM!!!Suzanne SmithLondonNewgate StreetEC1A7AJ6 yearsGot a call claiming they were from BT saying they needed to sort out my internet.BT6 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to be from BT, stating there was an issue with my internet service.
