01268727374 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01268727374 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam involving automated calls with an American-accented voice claiming the recipient's internet or IP address is compromised. Callers urge to press a number to supposedly resolve issues, but the messages are fake and often target vulnerable people, including pensioners and those with health conditions. Some report calls originating from hijacked or spoofed numbers, adding worry about the security of trusted contacts. Attempts to engage scammers reveal erratic behaviour, such as repeated hold messages or abrupt call endings. The calls frequently come from different numbers but follow the same script warning of imminent internet disconnection or forced provider changes. Many users simply block or hang up due to the organised scam nature.
Reports on phone number 01268727374
8 yearsI received a recorded message purporting to be from BT, stating that there was an issue with my router being compromised. They requested I press 1 for more information. It’s clearly a scam!BT8 yearsGot this weird automated call from a UK number starting with 0600, with some American-sounding voice telling me my IP address would be switched within 24 hours. Totally felt like a scam, especially since that number looks dodgy.I. PUK8 yearsGot a call from some woman with an American accent spouting some nonsense about my BT internet being hacked. Didn’t bother sticking around to hear any more of her rubbish - just hung up straight away! Total scam, watch out!8 yearsGot a call from 01268 727374 which says it’s Basildon Travel. Seems like their number’s been taken over, which is quite concerning! It was a recorded American woman talking about internet stuff, but the answerphone cut off half way through. Been bombarded with scam calls all morning, just from loads of different numbers this time.8 yearsVery odd, I’m about to lose my internet and computer access since my IP might get blocked. Lately, I’ve been getting calls from these 012 numbers nearly every single day. Anyone else notice this happening? Really weird timing with the cut off coming up.8 yearsI just hang up and block right away when I get calls from scammers, no point in wasting time on them.8 yearsGot a call from this number just now, classic scam stuff aimed at the elderly, really horrible.8 yearsJust got a call from this number, some woman claiming to be from BT but she had an American accent, said my internet would get cut off today unless I switched providers. I’m not even with BT! Instantly knew it was a SCAM. What a pain! If my husband had picked up, he probably would’ve fallen for it since he’s got dementia. These scammers really go for vulnerable people, it’s disgusting.BT8 yearsGot a call from this number just now, seems like one of those scams aimed at the elderly, really awful stuff.8 yearsI got a call from 01268727374, and before that, one from 01236386549. It was clear it was some scam, so I hit the connect button just to check it out. An Indian bloke with a weird voice answered and said his name was David Dacosa, claiming he was at BT in London EC1. Then he started asking about my operating system. I told him I worked for the Home Office fraud team and explained I’d been on the phone with him while tracing his number.David DacosaBTLondonHome Office8 yearsI tried putting Mr Winston Churchill as the caller on both my landline and mobile, but they just hung up straight away and never called again.Winston Churchill8 yearsEvery time I pick up this number, there's no one on the line. It's rung me loads of times, which is really irritating as my block list is already maxed out! Had to save it as Fake IP to keep track.8 yearsLike the others have said, I didn’t hit 1 because it was clearly a scam. Still puzzled about how they do it though??8 yearsGot a recorded call about the internet again, like the one mentioned before. Just letting folks know I’m reporting it ;)8 yearsGot a call from 01268 727374, some American robot voice saying my internet’s going to be disconnected. Told me to press 1, but yeah, total scam! Don’t fall for it.8 yearsCalled on my landline 01268727374 by an automated voice with an American accent warning me about my internet being at risk. They asked me to press one but I just put the phone down.8 yearsGot a message from an automated system saying my internet service is going to be cut off soon! Seriously, have they stopped employing actual humans for calls altogether?8 yearsGot a call claiming to be from BT telling me my IP was compromised and to press 1 to speak to someone. I naively pressed it. Ended up chatting with a guy who spoke with an Indian accent, who told me to hang on while they fixed the problem. I waited for a while, feeling a bit iffy about the whole thing, but kept hearing the message to wait. Then a woman’s voice said "goodbye" and the call just cut off. No clue what kind of scam that was exactly.BT8 yearsGot the exact same message everyone else is saying, but then they told me I’d be offline for 72 hours??? Seems a bit off, don’t it?8 yearsJust like everyone else, I got one of those automated calls saying my IP got hacked. Complete rubbish, definitely a scam. Already flagged it.8 yearsGot two calls from 01268727374 in just a few days. It was some automated voice with a strong American accent telling me my IP was hacked from different countries. Then it told me to press 1 to get a free engineer to fix it. Total scam if you ask me!8 yearsWe got a robotic message that actually played right over our old answering machine note, so I missed most of what was said. But what caught my ear was some kind of deal about changing our IP address at no cost. I just don’t get why anyone would want to do that, though!8 yearsJust got another automated call about updating my IP address, same as what loads of others have mentioned. Really annoying how these keep coming through!Submit Your Own Report (01268 727374)
