01243766016 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01243766016 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving scam and phishing attempts. Callers impersonate various well-known companies such as HMRC, O2, Three, Carphone Warehouse, Sky, and Microsoft, using scripted messages or pre-recorded threats about unpaid taxes, bank fraud, or account issues. They often seek personal or financial details, making unsolicited offers that are too good to be true, like large discounts or free phones. Calls frequently drop when challenged, and multiple numbers are used to evade blocks. Voicemails are rare or garbled, and the numbers have been linked to fraudulent activity. Users are advised not to answer, never to disclose personal information, and to report these calls via official fraud reporting channels to help authorities track them.

I got a robo call saying it was HMRC, something about owing tax and facing jail time. I hit option 1 and got through to someone who wanted my personal info to "sort it out". Of course, I didn’t share anything and asked them how they even knew who I was, then they just hung up. Pretty sure it's just a scam.

Got a call saying my bank blocked £700 for Amazon and £1100 for some international transfer. Haha, I don’t even have an overdraft, so no way they could take that much from my small balance. Plus, they never even say which bank it’s supposed to be from. Honestly, someone needs to put a stop to these jokers.

I'm pretty sure it's a scam. They said they were from “three” network, but there's no way they were legit. Not everyone can be who they say on the phone, right? I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Didn’t get a message from that call, feels like a total scam to me. After seeing what others have said, we really ought to start reporting these fraudsters more often.

I got a call about some kind of 40% off deal for O2, but I'd just upgraded my phone so I wasn’t interested and ended the call straight away since it felt a bit dodgy. After that, they kept phoning me from four separate numbers, but each one started with the 01243 area code, which seemed odd to me.

Carphone Warehouse has been ringing me non-stop today, this was the third time! Every time I get a call, I tell them to take me off their list, but they never do. I’ve even blocked the number they keep calling from, but they just ring me from a different one. It’s really frustrating.

The caller kicked off by pretending to care about how I was doing, clearly just sticking to a script. Then they mentioned some company initials that meant nothing to me. I just told them to bugger off and hung up straight away.

Heads up, folks! This number is definitely a con. They claim to be calling from O2, promising a whopping 40% off your bill, but let’s be honest, O2 doesn’t operate like that. When they ring, they don’t even bother to mention your name - instead, they send a text with a code that you’re supposed to read back to them. It's all very dodgy, so don’t fall for their trickery!

Carphone Warehouse has just presented me with a tempting deal for a brand-new iPhone 13, along with a rather generous 40% reduction on my monthly phone charges!

I chose not to answer the call, and it seems they ended up leaving quite a lengthy voicemail, seemingly by mistake. There were multiple voices on the line chit-chatting in what I presume was Indian. Quite peculiar, really!

I just had a call coming from this number, and lucky I didn't answer it. My old Samsung, costing me about £10, flagged it as spam through its smart detection. Also, no one I know has that number in Chichester, so probably best to steer clear.

I missed a call from them, so I rang back only to be greeted by a robotic voice that claimed to be from Sky Telecom. They then provided a Gmail address for opting out of marketing communications. Honestly, can you imagine Sky using a Gmail account for their correspondence? Sounds more like a scam to me!

I received a call from an unfamiliar number the other day, and they didn’t bother to leave a message. However, I’ve come across some reviews suggesting it could be related to a scam linked to Carphone Warehouse. Honestly, do these scammers ever tire of trying their luck? Clearly not. Just a friendly reminder: never share your banking info, phone number, or any sort of personal security details with these shady callers!
