Reports on phone number 01287840970
2 yearsThey’re actually from South Africa but work for a UK firm, so they’re totally genuine. I got help from them myself and they even upgraded my internet connection. I dropped a review on Trustpilot because they’ve got a 4.3 star rating, which is better than loads of other broadband companies. They go by Unitel Direct Trading or Unitel Telecoms.South AfricaTrustpilotUnitel Direct TradingUnitel Telecoms2 yearsWhen you get scam calls, the best thing to do is just end the call straight away without sharing any info. Don’t waste your time talking to them.Dodgy2 yearsGot a call from a lady warning me that my phone line was about to be disconnected because of some fibre upgrade BT was doing. She insisted I needed to act immediately, or else I'd not only lose my line but my current phone number too. She added that if I tried to switch to fibre later, I'd end up with a different number altogether. When I asked who she worked for, she hesitated but finally said Unitel Telecom and gave me a number - 01287 840 970. I told her I’d ring BT first before doing anything and she just said alright before hanging up pretty quickly. Naturally, I looked into it and found out it was all a load of rubbish - a proper scam! So, watch out for calls like this.BTUnitel Telecom2 yearsIf you’re unsure, just look at the comments where the scammers basically admit what they are. It’s so clear. They ring from South Africa. Just BLOCK them!South Africa2 yearsI wasn’t sure at first but it wasn’t a scam at all. I followed their steps and ended up getting my connection improved. I had ADSL before, but the techs showed up and sorted out fibre installation along with the VOIP phones. Really pleased with the new setup, cheers for that! :)2 yearsThey called asking if I was aware of "the big switch off" and whether we have gone digital now. I just ended the call right there.2 years01287840970 Got a call from some telecom scammers trying to convince me to upgrade our landline to the "latest BT Openreach fibre" package or something. Problem is, we had that done ages back already. I just let her go on for a bit, then decided to cut the call.BT2 years01287 840970 - dodgy call from a telecom scammer. They kept going on about some urgent line upgrade and whether we'd lose our number or something. I just listened for a bit, then told them to do one. Funny thing is, our phone got upgraded ages ago and there's no way we’d lose our number!2 yearsGot a call that seemed to come from a UK number, but it was actually some dodgy telecom scammer trying to pull a fast one.UK2 yearsI got a call but never picked up, no idea who was on the other end or what it was about.2 yearsThis was definitely a scam. They claimed they’d disconnect my BT service, but the funny thing is, I don’t even have a BT line!BT2 yearsGot a call saying our BT phone would be disconnected soon, but I told them there’s no BT lines here since it’s a newly built place!BT3 yearsSomebody rang me up saying it was about the telecoms changeover and warned we'd lose our business phone if we didn’t act. I told them I wasn’t bothered and hung up straight away. Even tho we’re on the TPS list, these annoying scammers still call us loads, often pretending to be from UK numbers but they’re actually overseas. It’s really frustrating. At the office, we get a handful of these calls every single day, and my mobile gets a few each week too.Telephone Preference Service3 yearsHe called me up and told me it was about switching my meter.3 yearsGot a call claiming my phone was about to be cut off. I didn’t stick around to see if they’d ask for bank info. The voice had an Indian accent, so it might’ve been from abroad. Definitely felt like a scam.3 yearsHad a call from some telecom guy who was trying to convince me that with the digital switchover, I’d lose my landline number. Absolute rubbish! If your provider supports the service, just don’t deal with these dodgy companies. I told the bloke I’m retiring soon and had no plans to switch up my business phone, but he rang me again today. Asked straight for me by name, acted like he didn’t remember talking to me before, and then started spouting all this nonsense. Honestly, some of these people are the worst.3 yearsPicked up the call but they just hung up after saying bye, definitely gonna block that number.3 yearsI got a ring earlier today about installing copper piping so I could make local calls on my iPad.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with BT, number showed up as 01287840970 on my phone. Kept asking for personal info to arrange engineer for a fibre switch. Definitely not BT though, since we run a computer repair shop and all our calls and net run on FTTP, no old copper lines here.BT3 yearsGot a call today from someone with an Asian accent saying BT's copper wire networks are going to be completely shut down. I told them I’d check with my service provider, but they insisted providers wouldn't have that info. Ended the call pretty quick after that.BT3 yearsLooks like a total scam, they won’t tell you anything and just want to trick you into switching your phone contract. Best to just end the call straight away.3 yearsIt was pretty clear it was a scam but somehow they already knew my name.3 yearsToday at around 11:10 in the morning I got a call from this number, seemed like some kind of telecom scam. I wouldnt recommend talking to them, ive already blocked it.3 yearsThis number has rung me loads of times but I never pick up. They haven’t left any messages, which makes me think it’s probably a scam or something dodgy.3 yearsGot a call from an Indian woman, she was quite polite but never really mentioned her company or her name. She was talking about BT digital landlines and internet deals. I told her I already had both, but she didn’t seem bothered. Felt like one of those scam calls I’ve had before that sounded pretty similar.3 yearsGot a call about some supposed fibre deal - total scam! Honestly, these people need to quit ripping folks off like this, it’s just awful behaviour!3 yearsextremely impolite person3 yearsGot a call saying my phone lines were being switched or something, sounded like a total scam right away. Just watch out, it’s pretty clearly dodgy!3 yearsI got a call from some dodgy lot pretending to be from my phone provider, saying I had to move to fibre because they’re shutting down copper lines. Total scam, don’t trust it for a second!3 yearsRight after I answered, the call just dropped. #blocked for sure3 yearsGot a call from this number warning me that my business line was about to be disconnected unless I signed up for a £16.99 monthly plan. Total scam! Don’t hand over any of your info to these lot.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying the phone line will be disconnected since it’s copper and they said they were from BT. Classic scam, don’t fall for it!BT3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be United Telecoms about BT going digital. Definitely a scam, had another one just now and ended the call pretty quickly.United Telecoms3 yearsEvery day I get a call on my mobile, normally once in the morning and once later in the day. This past week, it's been more frequent, sometimes several times each day. I just don't pick up when they ring.3 yearsGot 4 calls from them yesterday and already one today! They’re calling in two different time windows. I’m gonna block the number now.3 yearsSome bloke kept saying he was with BT and Openreach, kept on hassling me with loads of questions. Proper annoying.BTOpenreach3 yearsSo I didn’t get a call, I was the one who dialled them instead: Scammer: hello? Me: Get lost, scammers! And then I just ended the call.3 yearsThey started with "You’re speaking to..." but I cut them off straight away and said "No, I’m not, so please stop wasting my time." What a load of scam rubbish, total waste of time.3 yearsGot loads of annoying scam calls from marketing companies, really gets on my nerves.3 yearsconstant annoying calls nonstop!3 yearsI got a call on my mobile yesterday around 3.16 pm from this number 01287-840970. I didn’t pick up. I’m based near Brighton. From what I’ve seen from others, it looks like some sort of telemarketing firm.Brighton3 yearsI got a call on my landline (which I barely use and is on the TPS list). The guy, calling himself "Cameron," launched into this whole talk about switching from old landlines to fibre optic. I cut him off straight away and told him my number was registered, but he carried on like it didn’t matter. Then when he asked for my name, I said it was obvious this was just a sales call pretending to be "official info" since if he was legit, he’d already know who I was. I pointed out he was probably breaking the rules calling me and just hung up.Telephone Preference ServiceTPSCameron3 yearsThe person on the phone was quite friendly, but kept mumbling the name of their firm in a really unclear way. Even after I asked twice, it was still just nonsense to me - though I could hear everything else crystal clear! From what I gathered, the company was talking about new digital phone systems because of some updates to phone lines. Since it was a completely unexpected call, I didn’t really fancy answering their questions and pretended I wasn’t the one who handles the money side of things.3 yearsLooks like a total scam to me.Submit Your Own Report (01287 840970)
