01242790370 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01242790370 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number frequently using local Cheltenham area codes to avoid blocking. Callers typically claim the recipient has won a prize, holiday, or luxury hotel stay, often requesting payments or personal information. Many victims note repeated calls despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service, with no messages left on answerphones. The calls are often aggressive or dismissive when questioned, and some pretend to represent reputable companies. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, avoid providing details, and block the number. The use of genuine area codes appears to be a tactic to lend credibility or confuse recipients. Vigilance is essential, and reporting to relevant authorities is recommended.

01242 790370 this is the third number ive had to block from these lot this week. I lost it proper and the cheeky sod threatened to call the cops on me. They should be the ones worried about the police turning up at their door.

01242 790370 keeps calling me, but each time the last few digits change after the Cheltenham code. It makes blocking them a nightmare, so we just ignore any calls from 01242 now.

I keep blocking this number but it still manages to get through like two or three times daily.

They ring me a couple times every day. Best not to pick up, hopefully that sends the message.

Got a call from this number claiming I’d won something from a contest I supposedly entered. Told them I never signed up for any. The woman said I’d won from The Prize Factory. I just left my phone on the table without saying anything to see how long she’d ramble on. After a good while of her going on, she noticed I wasn’t replying and hung up. Then I went ahead and blocked the number.

Was told I won some holiday just like loads of others. But then they wanted me to pay a deposit for a trip I never signed up for. I reckon BT and other companies are selling British phone codes abroad, cause 01242 is actually used in Massachusetts too. So it’s not really Cheltenham’s fault, blame BT instead. Hope this clears things up!

Somebody tried to get my bank details. If you use Android just block the number but they will keep ringing anyway. Getting like 5 voicemails every day. Don’t bother leaving a message. They’re just pushy calls. I’ve got a business to sort, but they don’t seem to get it and want me to wait on hold for 90 minutes.

this number keeps ringing me about some hotel, and the person on the other end acts like he cant hear me. even though once i stop talking, he starts again. seems like a scam or something dodgy.

Got a call from an Irish bloke who got all passive aggressive when i told him I wasnt interested, even though i was trying to be super polite and respectful. Normally I ignore unknown numbers but since I've mates in Cheltenham I decided to pick up. I reckon older folks could end up feeling quite unsettled or scared by calls like this.
