01379229618 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01379229618 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers with Indian or Pakistani accents falsely claiming to be from BT or Virgin Media. They warn that the victim’s internet or IP address is being hacked, often stating the threat originates from California, and pressure to grant remote access to computers. These callers use deceptive tactics, including fake job IDs, insistence on urgency, and aggressive behaviour when challenged. Many victims advise hanging up and contacting the official BT service directly, as these calls are attempts to obtain personal or banking information. The callers often use multiple local UK numbers and can be very persistent, sometimes returning calls after being dismissed. Awareness and caution are strongly advised to avoid falling victim to this sophisticated fraud.
Reports on phone number 01379229618
9 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was from BT's internet security team. He warned me my connection was going to be cut off due to some “security problem” out in California. I told him straight up it was rubbish and put the phone down.California9 yearsGot a call from someone named Alec Smith on 01240187621 claiming my IP address was being used in the US. He wanted to know when I last used my computer. Felt suspicious, so I asked for a callback number and his company ID. He got quiet for a bit, then started giving some dodgy answers. He kept pestering me about when I'd call back, but I said I was tied up. Then he rang me again from 01379229618 asking if I’d made the call. I told him maybe later and ended the call. I checked with BT through their online chat, and they said it was a scam and my IP was all clear.Alec SmithStatesBT9 yearsHad a call from someone pretending to be a BT engineer, using a typical UK name. They said my internet line was hacked, but honestly, it sounded off to me. Pretty sure it’s just another scam.9 yearsI got a ring from 02074165026 and 01379229618 recently. If you get calls from these numbers, my advice is to quick google the number while they’re chatting to you and ask for some kind of explanation. It might help to spot if they’re up to no good.Google9 yearsGot a call from 02074165026 saying my broadband was under attack from California, claiming to be from BT. The guy was talking way too quickly, so I just hung up. Then he rang me back on 01379229618, saying we’d lost the line, still pretending to be from BT and the broadband was under threat. I told him I’d call BT myself to check. Suddenly, he shut up, said bye, and ended the call. Watch out for this one!BTCalifornia9 yearsSpent about quarter of an hour on the phone with this number... I kept the convo going, hoping I was racking up some charges for them. Two separate callers wanted me to share my websites so they could “assist” me. Eventually got fed up and let them know exactly what I thought, and it wasn’t exactly polite language from me, if I’m honest!9 yearsI had three calls from an Indian man who started getting quite confrontational, claiming that my IP address was compromised overseas.India9 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be 'Mike Morris' from Virgin Media. He told me my internet was being hacked and used for dodgy stuff out in California. The first call was garbled, then he rang again from 01379 229 618. When I asked if he was legit, he gave me a London number 020 3210 6013, saying I should verify his work ID. Then, when I pressed him on what he wanted me to do, he straight up told me to download TeamViewer! I refused and said I’d report it. Total scam, watch out!Mike MorrisVirgin MediaCalifornia9 yearsGot a call today on 06/03/2018 from what seemed like an Asian scammer. I ended up keeping them on the line for about half an hour for a laugh, but then I got a bit bored and just dropped the call. Quite the time waster!9 yearsGot a call from BT, this bloke with a heavy Asian accent was going on about issues with my router.

He asked me to switch on my computer but I wasn’t about to fall for it. When I said that, he started shouting, so I just ended the call. Then he tried ringing back straight away, but I just hung up again, no chance!California9 yearsReally shady and just wouldn't give up.9 yearsJust got another call from someone with an Indian accent saying the same old stuff as always.9 yearsIt was a scam call where they tried to get my bank info.9 yearsBeware!

He kept warning her that her internet would be disconnected for two weeks because supposedly someone was hacking into her computer.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent pretending to be from BT's outreach team. Sounded just like the ones others have mentioned. They kept insisting my phone line was under attack by hackers from California. I hung up on him at first, but he called right back. When he rang again, I wasn’t having any of it and told him off proper!BTCalifornia9 yearsI got a dodgy call too, started off from 02047495935. When I told the guy the line was crackly, he hung up then rang again from 01379229618. Proper scam if you ask me.9 yearsSomeone called saying my phone line wasn’t safe and that I’d be cut off for two weeks because it was being accessed from the US. They asked me to log into my computer which seemed dodgy. I ended the call and later looked up the number, stumbling across this website.States9 yearsSomeone phoned me claiming my IP address was active in California and said I had to let them access my PC. Yeah, right! I ended up calling BT and they told me it was just a scam.CaliforniaBT9 yearsGot a call from a man named David Cooper, sounded like he had an Asian accent, claiming he was from Open Reach. He said my internet was being hacked or something. My husband was the one who picked up first and just hung up straight away. Then, he rang back almost immediately and started shouting at me because we cut the call. Ended up blocking the number now. Definitely a SCAM to watch out for. He was trying to get me to plug in my PC and check it with him, which is a very cleverly done trick if you don’t know how these things work.David CooperOpen Reach9 yearsSome bloke called David Williams with an Indian accent said he was from BT Openreach.

Total con, don’t believe a word!BT OpenreachDavid WilliamsCalifornia9 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone saying they were with BT, but I got suspicious and decided to check the number out.

They told me my internet was hacked or something and insisted I should check my laptop. I didn’t trust it and just hung up straight away.PakistanCaliforniaBT9 yearsI’ve just had a rather dubious encounter with some individuals purporting to be from BT. Their initial tactic involved convincing me that my server had been compromised by a hacker lurking in California. They directed me to enter ‘my ip address location’ into my Google Chrome, claiming that the Californian IP it revealed was undeniable evidence that my router had been breached. However, I suspect that’s simply the address of the browser server itself. As expected, they proceeded to guide me through the event viewer log to highlight what they referred to as ‘critical’ errors. After about a quarter of an hour of me humouring them, they finally realised they weren’t going to pull the wool over my eyes!BTCalifornia9 yearsI got a call from a bunch of people pretending to be from BT, clearly trying to pull a scam. They told me some hacker from California was messing with my server and asked me to type ‘my IP address location’ into Google Chrome. They claimed the Californian IP that appeared proved my router was hacked, but I reckon it’s just the browser’s server address. Then, as expected, they walked me through the event viewer log to point out ‘critical’ errors. After about a minute of me humoring them, they finally realised I wasn’t going to fall for it.BTCaliforniaGoogle9 yearsHad a bunch of folks ring me up pretending to be BT, and it was pretty clear they were trying to scam me. First off, they got me to look up my 'IP address location' on Google Chrome, claiming some bloke in California had broken into my server. But from what I reckon, that was just the browser's server location they were showing me, not actual proof of hacking. Then, as usual, they walked me through the event viewer pointing out all these so-called 'critical' errors. I stuck with them for a good 15 minutes, stringing them along, until at last they realised I wasn’t gonna fall for it.BTCaliforniaGoogle Chrome9 yearsBest to just hang up and not answer. Definitely some sort of scam.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, but turns out they weren’t at all.BT9 yearsBeware, this number was involved in a clever scam scheme!9 yearsA bloke kept ringing us constantly, swearing all the time.
