Phone number ☎️ 01240187621 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to scam attempts, often involving callers with strong South Asian accents claiming to be from BT or Openreach. Calls frequently start with long delays, automated messages saying "goodbye," or immediate hang-ups once the recipient answers or leaves an answerphone message. The callers attempt to alarm individuals with false claims about internet security issues or disconnections, seeking remote access to computers. Multiple users have blocked the number and advised others to do the same, warning it is likely fraudulent and best ignored. Authorities rarely intervene as these originate from overseas. Reporting the number to your phone provider is recommended to help prevent others from falling victim to this ongoing scam.

8 yearsI got a call from this number at around 9.01 today. There was quite a pause before anyone spoke, then a voice with what sounded like an Indian accent. They hung up straight away every time. I think I had about three calls like this yesterday, not sure if it was the same number though. I’ll keep an eye on it and update here if it happens again.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a really thick Asian accent claiming he was from BT. Told him straight up I couldn’t catch what he was saying because of the accent, then he just ended the call. Do these con artists honestly reckon we’re all daft?BT8 yearsI got two calls from this number 01240187621 today, once at 8:35 in the morning and then again at about half past one. The first time I picked up, it was a bit strange - there was a pause and then a woman said "Goodbye" before hanging up. When they called the second time, I just ignored it and let it ring on to answerphone, but the caller ended up disconnecting.8 yearsThought it might be just some annoying robocall, so I let it ring out. When my answering machine finally kicked in, there was no message left.8 yearsSame old jerks as always.8 yearsGot a call from this number not once, but twice today. When I picked up, all I heard was a lady's voice, sounded like some kind of British robot, just saying “goodbye.” Definitely not ringing back.8 yearsSomeone with a really thick Indian accent called me, talking about BT or something, but I couldn’t make out much. Surely a scam. They ring from like three or four different numbers and just won’t stop. It’s obvious it’s from overseas, so the police probably can’t do a thing. Best thing to do is just hang up and block every number you get from them.BT8 yearsGot two calls from this number, didn't answer. I've gone ahead and blocked it now.8 yearsGot a call from this number two times today, 18th March. As soon as I picked up, all I heard was "goodbye" before they hung up. Strange!8 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be from BT, saying my internet was going to be cut off for four days. I told him I couldn’t quite catch what he was saying and that I’d just call BT myself to sort it out. Then, he just went and hung up on me!BT8 yearsThis number has rung me several times, but when I pick up, no one talks and after a few seconds a robotic voice just says 'goodbye'. Tried calling it back but it doesn’t seem to be a real number or is not recognised at all. No clue who it could be.8 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Michael Barron, claiming my internet would get cut off in a week! I asked him to prove who he was, but all he did was repeat himself over and over. Looks like another dodgy scam to me! I wonder how they keep getting hold of these phone numbers? It's baffling why the officials don't step in and put a stop to this nonsense!Michael Barron8 yearsGot calls like this a couple of times earlier this week. The phone goes dead for a bit then they just say goodbye. It’s always around the same time in the mornings, getting a bit annoying now. The number shows as 01240 but no proper area code, just something like "protected" or similar. I've blocked it now.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Patrick who said he was from Openreach. He mentioned some weird spike in traffic on my router coming from a John or something in California. I told him yeah, that sounds worrying but said I had to head out and asked for a callback number. He gave me this number - 02032906013. Turns out, that number is also dodgy and flagged as spam. Definitely not BT’s real contact.PatrickOpenreachJohnCaliforniaBT8 yearsThe moment my answer machine kicked in with the message "I don’t pick up due to too many nuisance calls," they just hung up. Sorted it quickly and immediately blocked the number.8 yearsGot a call on my landline which is supposed to be unlisted, and the only thing I heard was someone saying 'bye'? Really odd. I’m going to report this.8 yearsAs soon as they got my answer machine message saying "This number is now being monitored because of nuisance calls...", the person just ended the call.8 yearsI received a call from a number that looked just like this one. When I heard the Indian accent, I suspected it might be a scam, so I put him on hold. After waiting around 5 minutes, I came back and found the caller had hung up. Seems like the number’s fake. Around 15 minutes before that, another call came from 020 7416 5026, which turned out not to exist either. Looks like I’ll be getting more calls like these, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked both numbers now.8 yearsAs soon as my voicemail started playing, they just dropped the call.8 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but when I picked up, there was this strange robotic voice that just said “Bye” and then ended the call. Bit odd, really.Submit Your Own Report (01240 187621)
