01388212016 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01388212016 👆 is reported as a nuisance and scam number frequently associated with fraudulent calls pretending to be from telecom providers like Carphone Warehouse or O2, or insurance firms claiming involvement in a car accident. Callers often remain silent or disconnect upon answering, or pressure for personal and financial information under false pretences. Multiple users describe hang-ups when questioned, persistent repeated calls, and use of misleading tactics such as offering discounts or upgrade deals. Many report automatic calls or robocalls with poor line quality and foreign accents. It is widely recommended to block the number and avoid engaging, as calls have been linked to identity theft and account hacking attempts. Authorities or service providers appear ineffective in preventing these persistent scams.

I picked up the phone but they hung up right away. I’ve already blocked that number now. Heard loads of noise in the background, didn’t seem right.

Annoying caller that just stays silent when I pick up.

Are you alright? Did you just get into a car crash or something? ... Total SCAM call - immediately blocked.

Got a call from 01388212016, some guy said he was ringing from PC World about their phones. Bit random really.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with Carphone Warehouse. It didn’t seem legit when I mentioned I still use a Nokia 3310 and pay £135 a month - they just hung up when I asked for details about the upgrade. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

I’d been getting these silent calls for a few days and it was really starting to annoy me, so I’ve just blocked the number now.

Missed a call just now from some Stanhope number, but I’ve no clue who that is. Feels fishy, probably a scam.

Got two calls back to back from the same number. Ignored the first one since it looked dodgy, but answered the second. Some bloke with a foreign accent saying he was ringing from a car company. Told him he’d got the wrong number and ended the call. Blocked the number straight away, though I reckon they have loads of different lines. Why can’t BT or the government do something about these scammers?!

As soon as I pick up, they just drop the call.

Didn't pick up since the number was unfamiliar. They didn’t leave a voicemail or anything, so it mustn’t have been urgent. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now!

I didn’t pick up since my phone flagged the number as maybe a scam, so I just blocked it straight away.

So I got a call from someone claiming to be with O2, saying they could sort me out with a 30% discount. They said they'd send me a code to "verify" my account. What actually happens is they go onto your O2 account, enter your email and hit forgot password. Then they get you to give them the code and hijack your account, changing all your passwords and ordering new iPhones on your name. They convince you that you’ve got a new contract and send the wrong phone to your place. Next, they ask you to send the phone back right away so a "correct" one can be sent, but they give you an address in Birmingham where they want it returned. By the end, they've got themselves a shiny new phone, and you're stuck with bills of about £80 a month. It's a proper scam so watch out!

I just got a call saying someone was in a car crash and needed help. Sounded dodgy to me, didn’t actually seem legit. Probably just another scam trying to freak me out. I hung up straight away, can’t trust those kinds of calls nowadays.

Loads of weird calls from numbers I don't know have been coming through, so I just ignore them now. Feels like my number’s gone everywhere recently, like it's been passed around or something. Not even bother answering any more.

I swear Car Phone Warehouse must still be going or something? They keep calling me all the time with some nonsense about the “best mobile deal ever.” They just wanna get hold of the 16 digit number on my card plus my PUK code - sounds dodgy as hell. Proper scam if you ask me. I’m getting about 10 calls daily, and it’s always from a different number too. So annoying!

I answered by saying hello then quickly told them to hang up, blocked the number right away - definitely a scam call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be O2 offering discounts, but it was obviously a scam. They even sent a code and a message to my phone. I figured it was dodgy, so I kept playing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" on repeat until they hung up. Total waste of time.

Got a call about an accident claim, supposedly from Manchester, but when I asked about the exact location and timing, the call just cut off. Plus, the number had an area code that didn’t really match up with where they claimed to be. Pretty fishy if you ask me.

Another bunch of those dodgy crash claim lot. When you pick up, it's just a robotic voice asking questions with pauses for your replies. No matter what you say, if you don't hang up, it eventually goes through to a real person. I hung around, threw in some rubbish details, and completely wasted about 5 minutes of their time. They absolutely can’t stand that. It’s kinda funny hearing them curse under their breath and hang up when they clock what’s going on. What muppets.

Got a call asking if I'd recently been in a car crash. I questioned where she was ringing from, and she told me who supposedly gave her my info. I asked again for her location, she tried to give me a phone number but only gave the SW16 postcode and refused to say the rest. Then she said she'd put me through to a supervisor but just hung up instead. Definitely felt dodgy since she wouldn’t share proper details at all.

The call quality was terrible and the person on the other end had a really thick accent. As soon as I mentioned the poor connection, they just ended the call straight away.
