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 yearsWe've had a similar experience with this number as well. A lady called me, insisting that I was making monthly payments to BT via direct debit, which is absolutely untrue. She became quite irate when I countered her claim. I've received multiple calls from her. I attempted to return the call, but after letting it ring for a good ten minutes, nobody picked up. - Caller: 01279419188BTCaller7 yearsCalled me this morning with a strong foreign accent, so I decided to just end the call!7 yearsReceived a call at eight in the morning on a public holiday! How inconsiderate!7 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.BT7 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.7 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!BT7 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.Alex7 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!BT7 yearsThis number has dialled me four times this morning already. I remained courteous yet firm during the second conversation, but “Alex” persists in calling me. The feedback from others echoes my experience. It’s clearly a BT scam as they become rather confrontational when confronted.Alex7 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.7 yearsCan't stand BT, absolute rubbish service!BT7 yearsI received a call from 01279419188 around 9:20 on Monday, April 29th, claiming to be from BT. They were insisting that my broadband connection- which isn’t even with BT-was at risk. They inquired about who had access to my computer. Frustrated, as this was the second similar call I’d received recently, I told the caller straightforwardly that this was a scam and they ought to feel embarrassed for their actions. I’m situated close to Kingsbridge in South Devon, just so others know where this deceitful call came from.BTKingsbridgeSouth Devon7 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 Security7 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!7 yearsTypical Asian guy pretending to be from BT. Just ended the call straight away.7 yearsI received four calls this morning from the same number, and the caller kept on questioning me as to why I hung up. I informed them I recognised it as a scam and that it wasn’t from BT. The caller grew increasingly frustrated and wouldn’t let up.BT7 yearsNot sure what that was about but the moment I answered the call it just cut out.7 yearsI got a call at half past eight on a Saturday morning while my husband and I were still tucked up in bed - I’ve been unwell, and he’s been working late shifts lately. Our daughter picked up the phone and, upon mentioning we were still resting, the caller had the audacity to request her to rouse us! She mentioned he spoke with a foreign accent. Quite unbelievable, really!7 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. Ended the call and blocked the number straight away.RogerBT7 yearsI had a rather suspicious call today purporting to be from BT Security. They attempted to ring me multiple times throughout the day, but I’ve now blocked their number. Just seems dodgy!BT Security7 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 DepartmentBT7 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 Security7 yearsToday I received calls from three different numbers regarding BT internet security. One of them rang me three times! What’s the best way to deal with these callers?7 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 TeamBT7 yearsI received a phone call from a chap named Alan with an Indian/Pakistani accent, insisting he was representing BT Security. He claimed there was a problem with my internet security-definitely sounded dodgy to me! When I challenged him on his intentions, he became quite hostile. Definitely a scam attempt.AlanBT Security7 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from BT internet. Put their number straight on my block list!BT7 yearsI picked up the call, but they hung up immediately.7 yearsHad a call from someone claiming to be Jessica from BT internet security. I said I knew it was a scam and she just ended the call straight away!BT7 yearsSome bloke named Alex rang me about my internet security. I just told him to remove my number from their database and hung up right away.Alex7 yearsI received a couple of calls from this number earlier today. The caller said they were from the BT office in London and insisted that they weren't trying to pull a fast one. To be honest, I suspect they’re more likely to be a bit dim-witted than genuine.BTLondon7 yearsReceived a call on the 23rd of April around half past twelve. Just as I was about to say something, they hung up the phone!7 yearsGot a call from someone saying he was Roger Ramjet from Bt. Told him straight up to quit with the scams, but he kept saying he was legit. Bit fishy if you ask me.Roger RamjetBT7 yearsGot a call from a lady abroad who wanted to know about my computer, but she just dropped the call.7 yearsdidn't even pick up, but from what others say, sounds like it was just another indian scam call!India7 yearssome woman with an asian accent rang me pretending to be from bt internet here in london. total nonsense obviously, she was just a scammer from some call centre abroad. i told her i wasn’t falling for any scams or threats, cos that’s what it feels like when some ‘technician’ locks you out of your own pc with a password. i ended the call, then she phoned back and started swearing at me. bt, you need to sort this out!BTLondon7 yearsI got a call claiming to be from BT Security and that they'd connected me to BT TeamShare? They even said I was linked to the National Crime Agency or something. I just ended the call straight away and unplugged all my gear. Not taking any chances with stuff like that.BTBT TeamshareNational Crime Agency7 yearsJust 4 mins ago, someone saying they were from internet security phoned me. I told them I don’t own a computer and they hung up straight away.7 yearsthey’ve rung me 3 times in the past few days but never left anything, so went ahead and blocked the number now.7 yearsA bloke called Mike rang from BT Security.MikeBT7 yearsJust got another call about some fake BT internet security scam! Really annoying how this keeps happening.BT7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with BT internet security, saying my internet was being involved in some illegal stuff. He asked if I had time for a quick chat but I told him I was busy working and then he just ended the call. Feels like one of those scammers trying to trick folks into giving them control of their computers.BT Internet Security7 yearsGot a call from this number but no one was there when I answered. Same thing happened again two days later. Bit strange really.7 yearsSomeone called me about internet security, sounded dodgy, so I just ended the call straight away.7 yearsYet another caller pretending to be from BT, but totally fake!BT7 yearsthis number keeps popping up now and then for like a week, never rings long enough for me to pick it up, which is probably a good thing judging by how things sound.7 yearsI received a call earlier today from a number that purported to be from BT, but it suspiciously resembled several other known scam lines. Quite the dodgy situation, if you ask me!BT7 yearsI received a call from someone with a noticeable accent, likely from Belarus. It seems there were some issues with the internet on their end. She was discussing something familiar, but I couldn't quite grasp what she was saying, so I requested her to say it again. Unfortunately, she hung up before I could get any clarity.BelarusSubmit Your Own Report (01279 419188)
