01279419188 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01279419188 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation where callers impersonate BT, often using aggressive or evasive behaviour when challenged. The calls typically claim internet or broadband security issues, pressuring recipients to provide access or personal details. Callers frequently use foreign accents and multiple numbers, with some calls going silent or ending abruptly. Despite repeated blocking attempts, many users receive multiple calls daily, including early mornings and bank holidays. Several individuals noted spoofed numbers and the ineffectiveness of current blocking technologies. Advisable action is to hang up immediately, avoid sharing any information, and report such calls as scams. Users are cautioned that these calls are fraudulent and not affiliated with BT or any legitimate service provider.

7 yearsThis number called us a few times too. The lady on the other end was quite pushy, insisting I was paying a monthly direct debit to BT, which isn’t true. When I told her that, she got quite annoyed. I ended up calling back the number but it just kept ringing for like 10 minutes and no one picked up. - caller: 01279419188BTCaller7 yearsGot a call from someone with a strange foreign accent earlier today, so I just ended the call straight away!7 yearsGot a call bright and early at 8am on a bank holiday, can you believe that?!8 yearsI got a call from this number the other day, some Asian lady said she was from BT. I asked her a few things to check, and she got really hostile, would not answer me properly at all. Definitely a scam, best to just ignore and disconnect straight away.BT8 yearsBeen getting calls from this number all morning, it rings about three times then goes dead silent. Usually I’m a bit blunt when I spot a foreign accent, so I reckon it’s someone messing about.8 yearsGot a call from some guy claiming to be from “BT” who said he'll keep me safe from hackers - bit rich coming from him, eh! Told them off and asked them to take me off their list because cold calls like that aren’t allowed. What a pain in the backside!BT8 yearsGot called about four times this morning. Was polite at first, but on the second time I was a bit more firm. Still, “Alex” kept ringing me. Sounds like the same story as others - a BT scammer who gets quite pushy if you push back.Alex8 yearsJust like a lot of others, this bloke says he’s with BT. I've had this number ringing me at least 10 times in the last few days. Tried to block it but my phone won’t let me, proper annoying!BT8 yearsThis morning I got four calls from the same number. I was quite polite at first, but on the second ring I made it clear I wasn’t interested. Still, “Alex” kept ringing back. Sounds like others have had the same experience. Definitely a BT scam, and they get pretty pushy if you push back.Alex8 yearsThis number (01279 419188) has rung me four times this morning alone. Now, when it rings, I answer and blast a dog whistle straight into the receiver, full volume. Twice, there was no response at all. One time, a woman with a British accent claimed to be calling about some "no fault" car crash they say I was part of. Another time, it was a guy speaking with a foreign accent, but I hung up before hearing what he wanted. I’m really fed up with these calls. I thought the government was meant to be cracking down on them, but from what I can tell, nothing’s being done.8 yearsCan't stand BT, absolute rubbish service!BT8 yearsGot a call on Monday morning, around 9.20am, from 01279419188. The person said they were from BT and claimed my broadband was at risk, but I don’t even have BT as my provider. They asked who could get into my computer. This was the second time I’ve had this type of call lately, so I told them off sharply and said they should be ashamed for trying to scam people. I’m based near Kingsbridge, South Devon, and the caller insisted they were from BT.BTKingsbridgeSouth Devon8 yearsGot a call early Monday from some bloke claiming to be from BT Security, sounded as dodgy as anything. I like winding these types up for a bit; they reckon I’m some easy mark because I’m old or something. After a good five minutes of them trying their spiel, I just cut them off. Best way to kick off a Monday, really!BT Security8 yearsGot a call at 9 on a Sunday morning - not happy about that at all. After reading what others said, I’m glad I ignored the landline ringing. Definitely not the time for calls like this!8 yearsTypical Asian guy pretending to be from BT. Just ended the call straight away.8 yearsThey called me four times earlier today and kept asking why I hung up on them. I told them I could tell it was a scam and definitely not BT. After that, they got really annoyed and kept calling again and again.BT8 yearsNot sure what that was about but the moment I answered the call it just cut out.8 yearsGot a phone call about 8.30 on a Saturday morning while me and my husband were still in bed (I’m not feeling well and he’s doing late shifts at the moment). Our daughter picked up, and when she said we were asleep, they actually asked her to wake us up! She mentioned the person on the line spoke with a foreign accent.8 yearsI got a call from some guy named Roger, sounded Asian, saying he was from BT. He said there was an issue with my international calls. I played along and told him to sort it out - starting with him, actually.

They kept ringing me several times that same day, so I just blocked the number.BT Security8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from BT's Internet Support Team, then a bird just zoomed right past my window! I told the person I was actually a BT technician. They tried to probe more but I told them I wasn't obliged to reply and mentioned that the call was being recorded. They ended the call right there.Technical DepartmentBT8 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be with BT Security, so I just ended the call. She rang straight back, but I didn't pick up this time. I've now blocked the number.BT Security8 yearsToday I got calls from three different numbers all about BT internet security. One of them rang me three separate times! What’s the best way to deal with these types?8 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from BT’s Security Team, said it was about my internet being at risk or something urgent like that. When I asked him to prove who he was or give me any info about my BT account, he just couldn’t do it. The more I pressed, the ruder he got. In the end, he just dropped the call. Definitely one of those dodgy scammers.BT Security TeamBT8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian/Pak*stani accent who said his name was Alan and claimed he was with BT Security. He told me there was a problem with my internet security. It was obviously a load of rubbish, so I called him out on it and he started getting really hostile.

I just told him to remove my number from their database and hung up right away.Alex8 yearsThis morning I got a couple of calls from this number, the bloke said he was calling from BT’s London office and swore he wasn’t a scammer.
