Got a call from 01498709708, picked up but the line went dead straight away. Did a bit of digging and it seems this area code ain’t even in use here in the UK, so I’m thinking it’s a scam. Blocked the number now. Really appreciate all the helpful tips and info I’ve found on this site!

I picked up the phone but didn’t know about the great details on this site. There was silence on the other end and I usually hang up quick if no one talks straight away. I’ve now blocked the number. Cheers for the well explained info, the call came from 01489 074139.

This number, 01498830682, called me a few times today. It popped up as an international caller, so I didn’t pick up and let it go to voicemail. As soon as my recorded greetings kicked in, the call just dropped. I’ve decided to block this number now. These sorts of calls are really annoying and need to be put to an end.

Got a call from 01498 90846, it was a recorded voice claiming to be my ‘internet provider’. They said I’d made some illegal transactions and threatened to cut my internet off in 24-48 hours. Just before that, I’d had a similar recorded call from 0191 262 7516 with the exact same warning. Both wanted me to press ‘1’ to talk to someone about it. Oddly, when I tried 1471, it didn’t show the caller’s number or the time, so that’s why I put a question mark after it.

Got a call from 01498 501870 earlier today, around quarter past twelve (29/01/20). The guy claimed it was about some bitcoin video I supposedly watched online! What freaked me out was he knew my first name, even though my landline isn’t listed anywhere. I just hung up straight away.

Got two calls today from 01498 435894 then 01438 318264. Both were those robocalls saying something about a £600 transfer abroad, mentioning Mastercard or Visa but not naming any bank. They wanted me to press 1 to continue. Didn’t do a thing, and after about half a minute the line just cut off. The numbers are close but different area codes - checked 1471 two times to make sure it was right. Total scam, avoid.

I got a call from 01498 435894, some automated voice saying there was a Mastercard or Visa charge of about £660 going abroad. They didn’t say which bank or which card it was about. Then it said to press 1 to talk to someone, but I just cut the call there.

Received a call from 01498###. It was a woman speaking in polished English, delivering a recorded message about a transaction with MasterCard Visa, mentioning that £### had been sent overseas from my account. It prompted me to press 1, but I chose not to follow through. After holding for a bit, they simply disconnected. Quite concerning, especially as I had been involved with a YouGov site not long ago, going through some identification verification with Experian.

I got a call from 01498 718974 from some sort of automated message saying it was Visa or Mastercard security. They claimed £600 was taken from my account and sent abroad, and told me to press 1 if that was true. It sounded dodgy, so I just ended the call. I’ve looked over my bank statements and nothing like that has happened. I did a 1471 check and that’s the number that came up, so watch out for it.

If you get a call from the 01498 area code, just know it’s not linked to any real location. Most likely, it’s someone trying to scam you, so be careful!

Just had a ring from 01498### earlier today. A woman with a rather thick accent identified herself as Sandra. There was a lot of that typical call centre din in the background. She claimed there was an issue with my broadband, but I assured her everything was fine and hung up. Quite the nuisance!

Exercise caution with this chap; he’s definitely not representing BT, as I took the initiative to contact BT directly to confirm. He may request that you power up your computer. Expect a slew of excuses, such as claiming your IP address is being misused in a fraudulent manner. They’ll try anything to capture your focus. My recommendation? Just ignore any calls from an 01498### number. My phone provider mentioned they rotate through various numbers as well. Just a friendly heads-up!

I received a call from 01498 ###, with the person on the other end claiming to be from BT. Their English wasn’t the best, and they mentioned that broadband speeds in my vicinity were on the decline. They then requested that I switch on my computer.
