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.

I picked up, but they hung up right away. I've gone ahead and blocked the number. There was a fair bit of racket in the background as well.

I received a call from the number 01388212016 earlier today. A gentleman on the line claimed to be representing PC World and was chatting about mobile phones.

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 received a missed call just now from a number in Stanhope, and I haven’t a clue who it might be. Feels like it could be a scam, to be honest.

I didn’t let them get past introducing themselves as being from Carphone Warehouse before I ended the call.

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?!

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 received a call from someone purporting to be from O2, offering me a 30% discount. They mentioned that they would send me a code to access my details. What these scammers do is cleverly log into your O2 account by entering your email and clicking on the 'forgotten password' option. They then request the code that they supposedly sent you, and once you provide it, they infiltrate your account, change the passwords, and order new iPhones without your consent. They’ll have you convinced that you've entered into a new contract and deliver the wrong model to your doorstep. Then, they prompt you to return the incorrect phone immediately, promising that the right one will follow. They give you a residential address somewhere in Birmingham to send the phone back to, at which point they walk away with a brand-new device while leaving you with an £80 monthly bill.

I received a phone call supposedly from O2, claiming they could knock 30% off my bill without any cost to me. Seems a bit too good to be true, doesn't it? I ended up hanging up.

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 the call with a polite hello, but as soon as I heard the dodgy spiel, I just hung up and blocked the number. Definitely a scammer on the line!

I received a dodgy call claiming to be from O2 offering me some sort of discount. They even sent a code and a message to my phone, clearly intent on pulling a fast one. Instead of letting them have the last word, I decided to have a bit of fun and played them Rick Astley’s 'Never Gonna Give You Up' until they hung up. What a laugh!

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.
