01236575196 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01236575196 👆 is reported as a persistent and alarming nuisance call often involving urgent-sounding recorded messages requesting a callback with a quoted reference number. Callers claim to represent an organisation named BTO or similar, though no legitimate connection to known firms is confirmed, raising suspicions of a scam. The calls frequently come from a number with a Scottish connection but are unsolicited and can occur multiple times in a short period, including late at night, causing distress especially among the elderly. Callers may request personal identification and respond uncooperatively when questioned, sometimes placing recipients in a waiting queue. Recipients are strongly advised not to return the calls and to report such incidents to relevant authorities, as these solicitations are unwelcome and likely violate regulations.

They keep giving us a ring incessantly.

I’ve been inundated with calls from this lot, and they even had the audacity to request some personal ID from me! Naturally, I declined and made it abundantly clear that they ought to remove my number from their calling list, or I’d have no choice but to involve the Gardai. They had a rather pronounced Scottish accent and left the exact same urgent message for a callback, not once, but five times in just an hour! It’s absolutely beyond the pale, and I reckon they need to be reported to the proper authorities!

It's just like all the others. Reference number 100261181. Not particularly helpful. I'm really hoping we've finally got something useful this time around! Thank goodness for search engines, right?

Oh, not this wretched ring again! We're absolutely fed up with these con artists. It’s high time somebody put a stop to their nonsense. We certainly don’t fork out our hard-earned cash for these lowlifes to disturb us!

Much the same as what’s been mentioned earlier, but regarding reference number 100212499.

I received a rather concerning voicemail on my phone, urging me to get in touch immediately regarding an important matter, referencing a specific case number. However, when I dialled the number, I was met with a request for a completely different name-definitely not mine. This is quite alarming, especially for our older generations who might find themselves in a bit of a pickle over such confusion.

We experienced the exact same scenario just after 6 o'clock this evening: a call from Lesley Barnes at BTO, stating it was imperative they spoke with us. The number given was 00441236575196, and they even referenced a code: 100226301. I’ve held off calling them back, as I took the liberty of searching the number online and found a slew of concerning reports. This kind of behaviour is absolutely unacceptable. It's left us quite anxious, I must say! How can they get away with this?

Greetings! I received a call from this number at midnight, along with a reference number. Honestly, these individuals are absolutely despicable! It's appalling that such a message would be sent to a vulnerable elderly person living alone at that hour. They truly deserve to be brought to justice! We've already reached out to Ofcom about this situation.

I've just listened to a message on the answering machine. Apparently, it's from a Lesley Barnes over at BTO, and she needs to speak with us urgently. They asked us to return the call at 00441236575196 and to mention the reference number 100226179. Interestingly, there was no Caller ID displayed on the phone, just that it was an international call.

I've come across the same number but with a different reference, and these folks appear to be based in Lanarkshire. I'm at a bit of a loss, though, as I'm not familiar with the acronym BTO - is it Brechin Tindal Oatts, the solicitors and debt collection agency? When I attempted to return their call, all I got was put on hold in a queue. Quite the conundrum, really!

Same number, but with a different identification-so these folks know who you are! On the 30th of April, 2008, at three minutes past five. Just do yourself a favour and steer clear of calling them back! They're banking on your intrigue to profit. That “queue”? Just a computer system biding its time until a sales rep is free to pounce. Quite dodgy, and it bypasses the Telephone Preference Service, which makes it an issue for OFCOM, if you ask us. It’s worth dropping them an email to lodge a complaint!

Same number, different name. We reached out to them for work this morning and asked who they were and what their business entails. They flatly refused to provide any information without the reference number, even after we mentioned the possibility of taking it up with OFCOM. Quite frustrating, really!

Received a call earlier today. I’m based in Southampton, England, but I’m a bit uneasy since this number belongs to our hometown, where we still have relatives. I’ve asked my nephews, who work as taxi drivers in Coatbridge, to dig into this a bit more and see what they can find out locally.

I reached out to them and it turns out they're a debt collection agency. They were after a Mr Walsh, who definitely doesn't reside at this address. It seems they mixed up their details completely! Thankfully, they were quite apologetic and assured me they'd remove us from their records.

We had the exact same experience! As a travel consultant, I'm genuinely concerned that one of our clients might be in a spot of bother. This sort of thing is simply unacceptable. Thankfully, we took the initiative to look up the information and avoided making a call. It's really not on, is it?

I received a message on our company's phone line indicating that it was urgent for someone to discuss a matter with us. They provided an international number to call, 00441236575196, and mentioned a reference number, which is 100229487. The call came through on the 30th of May at around half past nine in the morning, UK time.

I can confirm this isn't affiliated with BTO solicitors. It might be related to BPO, but it certainly isn't BTO. Just to clarify, BTO operates out of Glasgow and Edinburgh, and their phone numbers start with either 0141 or 0131. The number you've got doesn't match that at all.

To H. Sotnem, I've got to ask- what on earth is the British Labour Party doing seeking financial support from Irish citizens for their electoral campaigns? It’s quite baffling! I’m currently residing in the Republic of Ireland, and let me tell you, this seems utterly illegal. The Irish authorities are now on the case, digging into this matter. It appears these individuals aren't affiliated with any legitimate organisation or government body! You might want to think twice, you’ve been hoodwinked!
