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.

We'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: 01279419188

I 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.

Been 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.

Got 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!

Got 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.

Just 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!

This 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.

This 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.

I 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.

Got 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!

I 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!

Got 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.

I 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.

some 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!

I 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.
