Reports on phone number 01240
2 yearsThis afternoon, I got a call from someone claiming my credit card was charged at a Sainsbury’s on Nottingham Road in Mansfield. The caller said he was DC James Maddison, badge number 7593, from Chesterfield police. He gave me a phone number to ring back on, 01240 00911, but something felt off so I ended the call. I’ve tried looking up Chesterfield police’s contact info since then, but I just can’t seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?SainsburyNottingham RoadMansfieldJames MaddisonChesterfield2 yearsCheers for the help, I was a bit worried it could be some dodgy scam.4 yearsGot a call from 01240 773576. When I rang back, it just went to voicemail and then a message said the number wasn’t right. Bit confusing!5 yearsGot a call from 01240487292 saying my internet was gonna be disconnected in 24 hours. Then, later the same day, another number starting with 01240 rang me with the exact same warning. Pretty sketchy!6 yearsThe line went quiet as soon as I answered. I have a sneaky suspicion that this number is being marketed as operational.6 yearsGot a robo call from 01240 291126 saying there's been a £600 charge on my Barclaycard in the past quarter of an hour, supposedly from overseas. They told me to hit 1 if I didn't recognise it. Definitely sounded dodgy to me!6 yearsGot a call from 01240 182513, some bloke saying he was Rick Jordan calling on behalf of my phone company to stop unwanted calls. He had a funny accent and when I told him I’d be reporting him for pestering me, he just hung up straight away. Watch out, total scam!Rick Jordan6 yearsJust got a call from 01240148378 about some dodgy charge on my Visa. They wouldn’t say which card it was for and told me to hit 1 to confirm it. Felt a bit fishy to me.6 yearsGot a call from 01240 238738, was dead silent and then they just ended it straight away. Pretty weird!6 yearsGot two calls from 01240282788. The first one was completely silent, no sound at all. The second time, the person said a few words, sounded like it was in some Indian language, then just ended the call. Very weird!6 yearsGot a call from 0124808387 but the moment my answerphone picked up, they just hung up. Bit odd, really.6 yearsGot a ring from 01240 538933 this morning, way too early on a Saturday for me to even pick up. Pretty sure it was just some sort of scam.

I told them I actually had their engineer with me at the moment and then the line just cut off.BT6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Visa/Mastercard, telling me £600 had just gone from my account abroad and to press 1 if I wanted to cancel it. It’s the same old story I’ve heard from various places before - just hang up straight away. Might be safer not to peek at your bank stuff right away in case they’ve hacked your computer. The number they called from was 01240-940437.VisaMastercard6 yearsGot a call from 01240266621 saying something about my Amazon Prime subscription being renewed.

Tried looking up the number afterwards but no luck tracing who it was.6 yearsGot a call from 01240 237765, someone claiming to be from inland revenue saying there was some fraud and if I didn’t respond an arrest warrant would be issued. Then the call just suddenly ended. Looks like a scam to me!6 yearsI received a rather alarming phone call claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs. They accused me of tax fraud and insisted that if I didn’t press 1 to resolve the matter, I would be arrested on the spot.

Quite strange!J DennisBirmingham7 yearsIf you get a call from a number starting with 01240, chances are the person ringing isn’t showing their real number. That code hasn’t been assigned to any actual place yet, so it’s probably just someone faking their caller ID.7 yearsI received a garbled voicemail that was clearly malfunctioning, mentioning something about a broken internet connection. There was an option to press 1 to get through to their engineers, but honestly, the phone number seems dodgy. I reckon it’s a scam!7 yearsI received a message regarding a sofa, and they swindled me out of £200. Now it seems I’m unlikely to see that money again. They blatantly confessed to conning me as well.7 yearsI've received a message from Amazon Prime saying that my account's been compromised. It's quite puzzling since I don't even possess an Amazon account! Sounds like a scam to me.Amazon PrimeAmazon7 yearsI've had my fair share of nuisance calls lately, with someone pretending to be from Amazon Prime, claiming there’s been a deduction from my account.
