02074041212 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02074041212 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from a number claiming to be Holborn Police Station or other London police stations. Callers impersonate officers with fake names and badge numbers, alleging arrests involving cloned bank or credit cards, often using real personal details to appear convincing. They attempt to pressure recipients into revealing financial info or transferring cryptocurrency. Numerous victims report calls hanging up abruptly when challenged, foul language, or evasiveness when asked for verifiable details. Attempts to verify the calls through official police contacts or 101 consistently reveal no such officers or cases exist. The scam frequently targets vulnerable groups including elderly individuals, with repeated tactics involving fake crime references and urging victims to call back official numbers that are unresponsive. The scam has been ongoing for months and widely recognised as fraudulent.

Got a call from someone saying they were with the Holborn Police. I was a bit suspicious straight away and said, "Really? What's this about then?" Before I could hear more, they just cut the call. It was defo a scam with a dodgy caller ID.

Some bloke called Michael Wilson said he was a DCI from Holborn police and gave a crime reference, sounded proper legit initially. He told me someone had my driving licence. My wife got suspicious and phoned 101, turns out there’s no officer by that name or crime number on their records.

Some bloke called himself DCI Andrew Myles saying he was ringing about two lads nicked for cloning my driving licence. He mentioned some KYC thingy and tried to pry info about crypto. I was nearly fooled but decided to Google the number he gave me - turns out it’s a scam. Glad I checked, honestly.

Got a call from 'Holborn Police Station' on 02074041212, someone calling themselves 'DC Richard 3961'. They claimed two people had been caught using our credit cards and said we'd been charged £250 each. When I asked for more details, they accused me of wasting police time and just ended the call. Thing is, our bank account hasn't been touched or used at all.

Somebody called me from a private number saying they were Detective Pritchard. They told me they’d caught someone on Oxford Street with my driving licence. Since I'd had a dodgy call the day before, I told them I’d ring them back to verify. They gave me a number, 0207 404 1212, pretending it was Holborn Police Station. Tried loads to get through, but no luck. Definitely feels like a scam to me, so watch out for this one!

I got a call from a private number where the person said they were officer “Lee Mason” and told me they’d arrested someone with a dozen different names, emails, phones, and fake IDs, claiming my info was part of the group. They said every single one had Coinbase accounts and it could be linked to some crypto fraud. Something felt off, so I asked them to send proof from an official police email. Never got anything, and the Holborn police number I tried rang out every time. They also mentioned the arrested guy was called “Derek Leeson.” Obvious scam, don’t fall for it.

I got called by 020 7404 1212, and it was total scam! The person said they were Detective Constable Watson from Holborn Police Station, but it was all fake. They even showed a dodgy Google My Business profile to look legit. Then they started asking for my credit card info like credit limit and balance - obviously a phishing trick. Be careful with this one!

A mate of mine who’s quite elderly got a call from someone pretending to be Holborn Police saying they’d found her stolen bank card. She knew her card was right there in her bag and was smart enough to just end the call. Afterwards, she rang me up quite shaken, so I looked up the number here and saw loads of reports about it happening. Lucky she didn’t give them any private info. Everyone, stay sharp!

Got a call from someone who said they were DC James Cunningham at Holborn Police. Right away I was suspicious about whether he was legit. He sounded unsure and not very convincing at all. When I asked how I could confirm it was really him, he told me to call 999 - which seemed completely ridiculous. I told him he really ought to know his lines better, then wished him a rubbish day with no luck. Definitely a scam.

The same con is still going around - some bloke calling himself "Detective Constable Derek Jacobs" from Holbourn Police Station phoned me claiming a Sarah Wiggins had been nabbed earlier today with a cloned card that supposedly belonged to me!! I instantly said he was trying to scam me. When he asked why I'd think that, I told him his story made zero sense. He then called me deluded. I shot back, "What was your name again?" and he just swore at me, "F*** you" before hanging up. Guess that says it all!

Today (28/11/2023) I received a call from this number, with the caller saying he was Detective Constable Derek Jacobs, badge number DB6098, from Holborn Police. Funny enough, someone with the same name popped up on here about three months back. He claimed my bank card had been duplicated and that a Sarah Wiggins tried to take out £200. When he asked me to confirm if I still had my cards, I asked which card he meant but he couldn’t say. Then he told me to dial 999 to verify he was legit. I just thanked him and ended the call.

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be Detective David Jacobs, badge number DB6098, purportedly from Holburn Police Station. He alleged that he had a copy of my bank card and insisted I didn’t hang up while suggesting I dial 999 to confirm his identity. He cautioned against using another phone to make the call, and then, quite shockingly, he began to swear. It's quite troubling, to say the least…

I got a call identical to others that have commented here, and I spotted the scam straight away. When I started asking questions, the person on the other end got annoyed, telling me to 'be quiet' and hung up. What worried me was that they sort of knew my name (but got it wrong), yet they had my address and phone number too. I've passed the number on to Action Fraud so they can track it, but I guess there's not much they can do unless my info's used for some kind of identity theft.

Just the other day, my husband picked up our home phone and was greeted by a chap claiming to be from Holborn police, identifying himself as PC Dwayne Simpson. He went on about how they had apprehended an individual who had managed to clone my husband’s debit card. He even provided a badge number and urged him to dial 999 while he remained on the line. Thankfully, my husband had the presence of mind to hang up on him. It’s quite alarming, especially when the number appeared to be linked to Holborn police, but having skimmed through various reviews, it seems to be one of those scams. Please, everyone, stay vigilant; these scammers are becoming increasingly cunning!

I received a rather dodgy phone call from someone claiming to be a "police inspector," asserting that they had apprehended a bloke wielding a credit card under my name. When I probed about which card it was, he mentioned a Barclaycard and claimed the suspect was nabbed on Oxford Street that very day. I played along, firing off various questions, but a lot of his responses were completely nonsensical. In the end, I couldn’t help but ask, "Is this some sort of prank?" and just like that, the call abruptly cut off. Total scam, if you ask me!

This number rang me claiming to be PC Clarke from Holborn police. He spent a couple of minutes on the phone telling me my card had been cloned, along with 12 other people, and that they’d caught the culprit. After googling the number and reading the reviews, I told him I’d call back. He warned me I’d be waiting for more than an hour, but I said that was fine and ended the call. I haven’t actually called back yet, but I’m definitely watching my bank statements carefully now!

Someone rang me pretending to be a cop from Hammersmith police, saying my bank card had been cloned and that I might be a victim of identity theft. I got suspicious, checked all my bank cards were still with me and looked through my online banking - everything seemed normal. When I asked if he actually had the card details, he just hung up. The phone rang again shortly after, and this time I wrote down the number. The earlier call showed 141 withheld, but I reckon it was the same bloke. It’s clearly a scam.

Some bloke phoned me saying he was a copper from Paddington Police Station. When I asked for his badge number, he seemed a bit iffy but eventually gave me SK277. He said his name was Andrew and told me they’d nicked someone in the early hours who claimed to be my grandson and had my bank cards. I asked what the chap’s name was and he said Daniel Bailey. I told him I didn’t know anyone by that name and then the line just cut off. Definitely looks like a dodgy scam, especially worrying if you’ve got grandkids.
