01266 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01266 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam and nuisance calls, often impersonating Amazon, BT, Sky, or Microsoft. Callers typically claim unauthorised purchases, such as gift cards or subscription renewals, and pressure recipients into pressing numbers or providing personal details. Many calls feature automated messages or silent pauses, followed by hang-ups, indicating attempts to prompt callback to premium-rate numbers. The area code appears spoofed or unallocated, with scammers using various tactics including threats of account suspension or fraudulent bank activity. Users consistently advise against answering, sharing information, or returning calls, urging quick disconnection. Vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly, are at risk of intimidation. Authorities recommend blocking such numbers and reporting any suspicious contact to protect personal data and finances.
Reports on phone number 01266
2 yearsJust got a call claiming to be from my bank - total scam. I ended the call straight away!4 yearsWhenever this number is answered, there is a distinct office noise in the background. This situation is highly suspicious and most likely a scam of some sort. It is crucial not to provide any information or engage further with the caller. Be cautious and protect your personal information.4 yearsDidn't pick up since it was a number I didn't recognise. I just searched it to see if it’s worth answering if it calls back.4 years01226762225 I didn’t pick up but this seems like it’s probably one of those Amazon Prime scams. Have blocked the number now.Amazon Prime4 yearsI received a phone call at 8:20 pm in the evening. The caller remained silent, so I decided to end the call when I noticed the unfamiliar number.4 yearsPlease continue to call me but kindly refrain from blocking.5 yearsAll had the same area code but different last digits. One time I answered it was an automated message, another time no one even picked up, and the last call was silent. All of this happened within just a few hours today. I can’t seem to grab the phone fast enough before it goes to voicemail, and they never leave any clue on what it was about!!!5 yearsClaimed to be from Amazon - real number 01266 607194. Sounds like a dodgy scam to me. They said my account had an item ordered from Amazon and if I hadn’t bought it, I should press 1 for a refund. Amazon must be mad busy if they have to ring every single customer about all their orders!Amazon5 yearsGot 6 missed calls - 4 yesterday and 2 today. All sounded the same, different phone numbers though. Definitely a call centre, but not Amazon since they only contact me via email! Here are the numbers I got: 01261 794251, 01266 036275, 01266 291208, 01269 644239, 01259 416215, 01266 798227. Looks like they’re just picking numbers at random!Amazon6 yearsCustom and outcasts6 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Amazon, said someone tried to buy a £49 gift card using my account and that it was hacked. They asked me to log in and check my IP address or something.Amazon6 yearsGot a message from Amazon saying that someone was trying to buy a £49 gift card using my account.Amazon6 yearsGot a call from 01266 389 260 claiming to be Amazon. The guy sounded like he had a strong Indian accent. When I asked what the call was about, he just cut me off and ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam.Amazon6 yearsNo one answers our calls anymore.6 yearsSome bloke rang sayin he was from Sky, said there was dodgy stuff going on with the local server. I asked when it happened and how bad it was, but he got all jittery like he didn’t know what to say and then just ended the call.Sky6 yearsGot a call on my home phone this morning from 01266259296 saying I bought a £49 gift card on my Amazon account. When I asked questions, they just ended the call straight away.Amazon6 yearsGot a call from 01266 007246 claiming to be Amazon. They said someone had used a £49 gift card and asked if I wanted to approve it. I told them I just bought a gift card for a mate. They seemed a bit puzzled. Then they mentioned an address, and I said that was where my cousin stays. They sounded a bit shocked. Still, they kept pushing and wouldn’t back down. Proper annoying.Amazon6 years01266208254 called my landline claiming to be from Amazon about a £49.99 payment taken from my account, wanted to confirm. I told them I didn’t authorise it and ended the call. I reckon older folk who might be lonely or easily confused could get worried. The lady was polite, friendly and spoke really clear English, asking how I was. These kinds of numbers should be blocked or shut down. 01266 isn’t even a proper local number.Amazon6 years01266359601 Left a recorded message claiming to be from BT about my internet account, which I never have with BT. Definitely a scam call.BT6 yearsTold them to remove me from their calls and they just replied with some rude words.6 yearsGot a call from 01266514924 this morning, an automated voice said £600 was taken from my account and sent abroad. They told me to press one if I wanted to cancel it, but how can you stop something that’s already gone through? Felt like a complete scam to me.6 yearsGot a message on my answerphone from 01266 785853 saying cash was being withdrawn from my bank account. Didn’t bother calling back.6 years01266818240 or a similar number called me twice this morning but there was nothing but silence when I answered. Thankfully I'm not old or vulnerable cos I could see how that might scare people.6 yearsI recently received a questionable phone call from the number 01266 752286, which I believe to be a scam. The call took place today, shortly after 9 am. It seems that the caller was attempting to hide and manipulate their own number. I must emphasize that it's important not to try and contact them back.6 yearsI keep receiving repeated calls from individuals claiming to be from 'Amazon UK', who are consistently making threats to withdraw funds directly from my bank account.Amazon UK6 yearsGot a call from 01266225581 saying they've charged me around £80 for an Amazon subscription but I never signed up for anything like that.Amazon6 yearsThis number is definately a SCAM - my caller ID first showed INTERNATIONAL, then this supposed "local" number which is clearly bogus since the STD code 01266 hasn't been assigned anywhere yet. Got a call today from 01266 532463, just one of a bunch lately trying to freak me out into pressing 1 to talk about some "issue" - this time it was about my Amazon Prime account. Totally fake. Other calls had recorded messages saying money was taken from my bank and I had to call back ASAP. Nope, absolutely not true!Amazon Prime6 yearsJust got a ring today from 01266 919974, can't believe they don’t hide their number. They said they were from Amazon Prime, but I don’t even have a yearly plan with them. Tried telling me my subscription was auto-renewing or something. The woman said her name was Jeniffer Wilson but when I asked for a contact number to ring back, she said no incoming calls allowed. Absolutely dodgy. Don’t get caught out by these lot, total scam!Amazon PrimeJeniffer Wilson6 years01266 294272. Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent saying he was from Sky Broadband and there was something wrong with my router. Since I actually use Sky Broadband, I wasn’t sure if it was real or a scam. Decided to play it safe and just ended the call.Sky BroadbandSky6 yearsThese scam calls just hang up on you every time.6 yearsGot a robocall from 01266535520 claiming money was withdrawn from our account today - definitely a scam.6 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Amazon. They told me to install an app that, once opened, lets them see all the info on my phone. Then they said they were gonna refund me and asked me to check my bank balance while they watched me log in. Total scam, be careful!Amazon6 yearsGot a call from 01266 250217 earlier today, they were saying my Amazon Prime Time was ending and I had to renew it. Thing is, I don’t even have Prime Time delivery. I asked them who the account belonged to, but the answer was all mumbo jumbo and definitely not my name. So I just ended the call. Watch out folks. West Sussex here.AmazonTimeWest Sussex6 yearsGot a silent ring, pretty sure it’s one of those scam robot calls. Bit worrying, imagine if a call centre agent answered it, could cause some real trouble.6 yearsGot a call from 01266 746791 at 10.59am on Saturday, but they hung up as soon as the answering machine kicked in, leaving no voicemail. Then, not even an hour later, the phone rang again but this time the caller ID showed as UNAVAILABLE. Same thing happened - they hung up once the answering machine started. Pretty weird.6 yearsGot an answerphone message from some automated voice, sounded a bit mashed up. Mentioned Amazon, but the rest was pretty hard to catch. The number they left was 01266 741239. I ended up deleting the message. It was just like those dodgy phishing emails I keep getting on my phone.Amazon6 yearsGot a call at my place saying I needed to renew my Amazon Prime subscription for £75.00, came from Romford area.Amazon PrimeRomford6 yearsGot a call from 01266 630469 this morning, was an automated voice saying my internet service would get cut off soon. Definitely a scam, hung up right away.6 yearsI’ve had calls from 012661106224 and also a 0122 prefix number, but I haven’t picked up - just let it ring through to voicemail. They’ve been ringing on and off since 8am today, 06.06.2020, and even called last night. This has been going on for a few days now. I’m registered with the TPS and my number is ex-directory, plus I never share it, yet it seems to make no difference. I’m really annoyed, especially since I live with elderly parents and worry something serious might be up. Thank goodness I can see the number before deciding whether to answer.Telephone Preference Service6 yearsThe number showed up as Barnsley on my phone so I picked up, but nobody said anything. I could hear what sounded like a kid in the background, maybe they were calling from home, then they just hung up. I looked up Marks & Spencer and John Lewis in connection with people sharing my info online, so I reckon one of them must have passed my details to scammers! Honestly, you just can’t trust anyone these days!BarnsleyMarksSpencer'sJohn Lewis6 yearsGot a call saying my Amazon Primetime subscription was about to renew - problem is, I dont even have Amazon Primetime! I’m in Belfast too, so guess they’re trying this all over the place!!!AmazonBelfast6 yearsScam alert! Got an automated message saying my Amazon Prime would renew automatically. Problem is, I don’t even have an Amazon Prime account. Sounds just like a call I got last week, just from a different UK landline. Didn’t give them any details and they just ended the call.Amazon PrimeUK6 years01266 429757 called me but I didn’t answer. They didn’t leave a voicemail or anything. Found this forum and glad I didn’t pick up after all.6 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from BT, said there were dodgy transactions on my internet account. Seriously?BT6 years01266. Someone real, sounded like a call centre in India, said they were ringing from Sky Internet. They just hung up right after.IndiaSky Internet6 yearsNumber 01266 542836 called me with an automated message about something to do with Amazon and the internet, I just deleted it right away.Amazon6 years01266 95782343597 Got a robo call from someone with an American accent claiming it was from Amazon.

However, as soon as I picked up the call, the line went dead.7 yearsGot a call from 01266459287 but no one said anything. Just a quiet line. Looks like spammers from India use this number to hide their real ID. Best to just hang up straight away.India7 yearsGot a call from 01266 146836, some dodgy recording pretending to be Amazon Prime asking for £39, total scam.Amazon Prime7 yearssomeone said they were from amazon prime but sounded fishy to me.Amazon Prime7 yearsWe receive frequent calls from this particular number.
