01279906016 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01279906016 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam involving callers impersonating reputable companies like O2, Carphone Warehouse, and the Post Office. Callers often use foreign accents, particularly Indian, and employ tactics such as requesting security codes, offering fake deals, or remaining silent. Many recipients report hang-ups shortly after answering or no messages left, suggesting attempts to confirm active numbers for further exploitation. It is commonly associated with fraudulent activity and possible financial risk if returning calls. Blocking the number and avoiding engagement is advised. Genuine organisations typically do not operate in this manner, and verifying information independently is crucial to avoid scams. Registration with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) does not always prevent these calls. Exercise caution, refrain from sharing personal information, and do not respond to suspicious messages or requests.

Somebody rang me pretending to be from O2 and said they had a special offer or discount. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.

Got a voicemail from someone saying they were from the National Crime Agency, but they mentioned they wouldn’t be working because of the bank holiday. I looked them up on their official site and saw loads of people reporting similar scam calls. Be careful, it’s probably a trick.

So this caller said it was from benefits UK, said they’d only ask me 3 questions and then they'd stop calling. Funny thing is, she didn’t even get a single question out before hanging up.

I answered a call from RV Communications and it was dead silent on the other end. Definitely not worth picking up again.

Got a call from some bloke called Jackson claiming he was ringing from Curry’s with a deal. Sounded like it was coming from one of those Indian call centres. Told him I wasn’t interested and just ended the call.

I received a text on my phone from what appeared to be the Post Office about a parcel. I decided to block the number and remove it from my messages.

The voice on the phone seemed like it was coming from a call centre, maybe with an Indian accent, and I could barely make out what they were saying. They mentioned something related to a phone, I guess. I ended the call quickly - I'm convinced the number wasn’t genuinely from Bishops Stortford and it was likely a scam.

My work phone rang and showed a Bishop Stortford number, which immediately made me suspicious since I’ve never done business there. Looks like a classic scam. Definitely avoid calling them back, or you might end up with some huge charges.

I let the call go straight to voicemail on my phone. Later, I rang the number back from my home phone but blocked my caller ID. After a message came on saying it was “RB Communications” and gave an email if you want to stop getting marketing calls, I hung up straight away. No way am I dropping them an email. I looked up RB Communications online but couldn’t find one based in Bishops Stortford, so I doubt it’s related to the call. I’m already on the TPS list anyway.

Terrible call, claiming to be from O2. I called O2 directly since they're my provider, and they've never come across this company or that number before. Definitely a scam. Blocked them straight away!

I can assure you that this number is definitely dodgy. They ring you up, hang up without a word, and if you dare to return the call, expect to be hit with a hefty fee. Best to steer clear!

There was so much noise in the background, I barely caught what the caller said. I think he claimed to be with O2 but I'm pretty sure that was a fib. Ended up hanging up on him and blocked the number straight away.

Heads up - I got a call from someone claiming to be O2, but their English was really rough and they kept calling me "Ma'am". While on the call, I got a phone alert saying I'd asked for a security code. The caller then asked me to share that code, which seemed off. The message warned not to give out the code to anyone calling and to just hang up, so I did. Just be careful out there!

Received a dodgy call from someone purporting to be with O2, asking for a verification code they supposedly sent to my phone. It didn't feel right, so I quickly ended the conversation. Definitely a scam to be wary of!

This number popped up on my phone earlier, but I didn’t pick up since it looked unfamiliar. No voicemail was left either. I’m signed up with the TPS, so ideally, they shouldn't be ringing me at all.

Got a call from someone saying they were with ‘Urban Network’ and working for O2 about a phone upgrade. Felt a bit dodgy to me, probably just a scam.

Got a call from Carphone Warehouse about some upgrade deal. They claimed they had my number from my network provider, but I only switched my phone a few months back directly with them, so I’m not sure that adds up at all. Bit confusing really.

Got a call saying it was O2 but sounded like it was from some call centre in India. Seems dodgy since O2 normally handle calls themselves and don't hire outside help. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Got a call from some Indian call centre pretending to be O2. They managed to get O2 to send me a security code, which confused me a bit. Then they asked me to say the code out loud, but no way was I going to do that! Not sure what trouble that code would've caused if I'd given it to them.

Got a call from an Indian call centre pretending to be O2. They managed to get me to trigger some kind of security code from O2 and then asked me to tell them what it was. No idea what that code would let them do though! They also rang from numbers like 01279 906006, 01278 227026, and 01279 906004. Quite dodgy if you ask me.
