Reports on phone number 02081871316
3 yearsThis lady with an Indian accent called me saying my broadband isn’t private and others are using my internet. She told me to check on Google to find my location. I just said no thanks, no issues with my internet here and ended the call!Google4 yearsI got a call from someone with a non-British accent claiming to be Matthew Rogers, talking about cryptos I supposedly dealt with before. He said he was on the FCA register, but I know for a fact he’s not - because that’s actually me! Just a heads up, be really careful and don’t trust any random calls offering financial stuff.Matthew Rogers4 yearsA caller rang me pretending to assist with some money supposedly stuck in an account. When I told them I’d just looked up the number and saw it’d been flagged as a scam over 4,000 times, they quickly ended the call.4 yearsI got a call from a lady with an Eastern European accent claiming to work for FCS. She was really pushy about getting me involved in some cryptocurrency scheme and then mentioned something about refunding me £2000. It all felt a bit dodgy to me.FCS4 yearsThere was a pause, I could hear faint noises like a busy office, and then suddenly they just ended the call on their side. Wouldn’t recommend answering.4 yearsNot enough info here to give a proper reply.4 yearsSomeone just rang me up with a weird accent, saying they're from the Financial Conduct Authority.Financial Conduct Authority4 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Matthew who knew my name and was rattling on about a Bitcoin account under my name. When I asked him where he’d got my details from, he just ignored it and kept pushing about shutting down this Bitcoin thing. He’s called me three times in a couple of days, and hung up right away when my husband answered. Really dodgy - don’t share anything with them, definitely a scam.MatthewBitcoin4 yearsTotal ripoff!4 yearsPicked up the phone and they hung up straight away. Had a quick look here and of course, the typical dodgy scam call. What a joke.4 yearsHe refused to give any details. It’s worrying how many foreigners get in just to cause trouble. The strange part was him calling me by my own name. Honestly, nothing on the internet feels safe these days.4 yearsGot a call from some sort of robotic voice saying they were from the Financial Conduct Authority or something like that. Definitely sounded like a semi-auto dialler!Financial Conduct Authority4 yearsNo one said a word!4 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady on a boat or something, trying to push some dodgy scam. She just dropped the call when I couldn’t answer her questions about data security.4 yearsCall just dropped on me outta nowhere.4 yearsGot a call from 02081871316, sounded like some Asian guy on a boat trying to scam me. Quite dodgy if you ask me.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be the Financial Conduct Authority, telling me I’m due over £2000 from some scam. When I asked if they could mail me a cheque, they said no way. Then just suddenly ended the call. The bloke sounded like he wasn’t from around here. Pretty fishy if you ask me.Financial Conduct Authority4 yearsI've just been scammed by the number 020 8187 1316, they said something about Bitcoin and I've lost over £1000. They somehow tricked me into giving my bank details and then took the money out. Can't believe I was so naive!Bitcoin4 yearsSo, I got a call from someone who said his name was Matthew and he’s supposed to be from the UK. He kept asking for my boss, which is me, about some urgent matter. But he wouldn’t tell me what the problem was or exactly where he’s calling from. Honestly, he didn’t sound anything like a Matthew from the UK. Very fishy if you ask me.MatthewUK4 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming to be from the financial authority. Definitely a scam alert. Felt fishy from the start. Stay careful everyone!4 yearsSome bloke called Matthew kept ringing asking to speak to my manager (which is actually me). Kept going on about some urgent matter but wouldn’t say what it actually concerned or which company he was with. Something about him didn’t quite add up, didn’t really sound like a Matthew from round here.MatthewUK4 yearsReceived a call last evening, picked it up, and they promptly disconnected. Then, this evening, I got another call on my mobile, but I chose to ignore it completely. Quite the nuisance, really!4 yearsI waited for the phone to ring a couple times before picking up since I didn’t recognise the number. As soon as I answered, they didn’t say anything and just hung up after a few seconds. Pretty sure it wasn’t just a random call, so I’m labelling it as harassment instead of unknown.4 yearsGot a call claiming I'd been conned and owed money in bitcoin. I asked what bitcoin was, and the person tried to explain. I mentioned I was on the telephone preference service, to which he seemed clueless. The call lasted about 12 minutes before he started accusing my husband of secretly trading bitcoin. He got upset when I called him a scammer a few times. I asked for a letter to prove it, but he said they don’t do that. He gave me an email address, so I told him to send all details by email since I didn’t buy that he was really from the FCA.BitcoinFCA4 yearsAnswered the call but it went straight to voicemail, nothing said. Pretty clear to me it’s some sort of scam.4 yearsFor the last few weeks, 02081871316 has been ringing my landline pretty much every day, sometimes even twice. I've only picked up once; I stayed silent but they already knew my name. After a bit, they just hung up, assuming I couldn’t hear a word. All the other times, I just let it go to voicemail, but wouldn’t you know it, no message was ever left.4 yearsThis number keeps ringing me, claims it’s from the FCA but that’s clearly not true. Got called 4 times just yesterday alone. I’m just going to block it now.FCA4 yearsGot a call from 02081871316, some woman saying she was from the Financial Conduct Authority and wanted to give me money from an account I supposedly opened four years ago. Total scam! She kept saying she needed to get into my computer to set up and verify some bitcoin account so they could send me the cash. Dodgy as hell, definitely trying to con me!Financial Conduct AuthorityBitcoin4 yearsGot a call from someone about a frozen bitcoin deal, they did say my last name right but it was totally a con. What’s bugging me is how on earth did they find both my surname and phone number?Bitcoin4 yearsGot a call from some woman claiming to be from FCA, said she wanted me to get online and set up some account to move money from an old account I haven't touched in over 3 years. Apparently I had like 0.1 bitcoin in there worth about £900. When I said no way, she got pretty irate.FCA4 yearsGot a call from him and decided to act like a confused granny. He went along with it, which was quite amusing. Called me again the next day and used another name initially, but I told him I recognised the number and asked if it was him. He admitted it was and said he just wanted to hear me. We've agreed to meet up at "The Village Hall" this Friday at 4pm. Told my husband next time to answer and claim I’m no longer here. Absolutely hilarious!The Village Hall4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be with the FCA, saying they could help recover frozen Bitcoin. They actually had my full name, my landline number from the directory, and even an email I’ve only used for shopping online. I told them I hadn't fallen for any scam, but they kept insisting otherwise. Then they asked me to download TeamViewer. Obviously, I didn’t do that, but I did manage to keep the conversation going for about ten minutes to waste their time.FCABitcoin4 yearsTotally dodgy call. A bloke with an accent I couldn’t place said he was with the FCA, working on some scheme to get back money frozen after a scam. Claimed it was his job and could prove who he was, but didn’t even know the FCA’s address - bit odd, right? I told him I hadn’t put any money in or lost any cash, but he kept insisting I’d been scammed because I was on his list. Really pushy bloke. In the end, I just hung up cuz he wouldn’t take no for an answer. At least I wasted his time for about nine minutes, so he couldn’t annoy someone else who might have fallen for it.FCA4 yearsDefinitely a scam. I got a call from a woman with a strong Eastern European accent claiming she was from the FCA. She asked me to verify my identity, but I told her to prove who she was first. She insisted I look up her name on the FCA register (which actually existed), but then said she needed to remotely access my computer to do that! I wasn't about to let that happen. She clearly had no real info about me beyond my phone number. I told her to just send a letter instead, but she said she didn’t have my postal address. Total nonsense.FCA4 yearsThis number rang my mobile earlier. The person used my maiden name instead of my married one. They claimed to be from the Financial Conduct Authority and said I had a Bitcoin account frozen under my name. I replied straight away with, "Yeah right, that's a scam!" As I was about to hang up, she kept saying, "It’s not a scam," but honestly, I’m pretty sure it was a total con!Financial Conduct AuthorityBitcoin4 yearsI just knew it was a scam. The moment I picked up and heard someone speaking with an accent, I ended the call straight away. Then I looked up the number, and turns out loads of folks have flagged it before. So happy I was cautious!4 yearsI got a call from someone who said he was from the FCA, gave his name as Matthew Rogers. He told me I had a Bitcoin Wallet frozen with about £2,000 in it and wanted to either give me the money back or help me invest more. He mentioned two sites to verify him - fca.org.uk and register.fca.org.uk - but he refused to send me anything by email or post. After reading all the reviews here, I’ve decided not to go any further with this. Thanks everyone for the warning. xFCAMatthew RogersBitcoin4 yearsI’ve answered the phone a couple of times but nobody talks when I pick up. Cheers to all who pointed out this might be a scam!4 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she was with the Financial Conduct Authority, claiming they'd frozen a crypto exchange and that I was owed £5,700 in Bitcoin compensation. I asked which exchange she meant, if the FCA even had authority over crypto platforms, and how they could be sure the Bitcoin was mine. She got pretty pushy, kept insisting she was from the FCA and just needed my info to sort it out. Didn’t buy it for a second. Ended the call, blocked the number, and I’m pretty sure it was a scam.Financial Conduct AuthorityBitcoinFCA4 yearsKept ringing but no one spoke when I picked up. Definitely a scam, number’s blocked now.4 yearsI highly doubt this is really from the financial conduct authority!!Financial Conduct Authority4 yearsNo message when they called me, and when I tried to ring back, all I heard was music, no dial tone at all.4 yearsI just got a call from 02081871316, sounded like whoever it is might be sitting on a fortune or something. Quite strange, honestly!4 yearsTotal rip off artists!4 yearsHad a call from someone named Mathew Rogers claiming to be from FCA. He wanted me to log into some bitcoin site to get my bitcoins back. I told him I've never touched bitcoin, but he kept insisting I'd been scammed in the past. When I asked him to send me something official through the post, he just said he could sort it all out over the phone and there's no need for any paperwork. Absolutely obvious this is just a scam!Mathew RogersFCA4 yearsGot a call with no name on their end, they wanted to talk to me using my old surname.4 yearsThe moment I picked up, they just hung up straight away. I reckon it might be a dodgy number, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it right after they cut off.4 yearsI received a call from the number 02081871316, claiming that £2,500 had been withdrawn from my account. I chose to hang up and disregard the call.4 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were from the FCA and that I had a frozen bitcoin account with money in it, asking if I wanted to recover the funds. They refused to give any details about the account, which confused me because I've never had one. They kept pushing for me to confirm my personal info before telling me anything else. Absolutely no way I was going to fall for that.FCABitcoin4 yearsTotal rip off, don’t trust these calls!4 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were from the FCA and mentioned there was money stuck in an old dormant account.FCA4 yearsSomeone called saying they were from the FCA. I told them, "We're registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so you shouldn't be making unsolicited calls." Then I just ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam.FCATelephone Preference Service4 yearsThey kept ringing my phone over and over again.4 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who actually said my name and claimed he was calling from the FCA. I didn’t wait around to hear more and just ended the call straight away.FCA4 yearsThe connection was terrible, couldn’t hear a word properly.4 yearsGot a call from a woman who sounded Russian and said she was from the FCA. It didn’t sound right at all, so I just ended the call and blocked her number straight away.Financial Conduct AuthorityFCA4 yearsI've been bombarded with calls on my landline for the last couple of months! The number looked unfamiliar, so I let it ring off. Today, in a fit of irritation, I finally answered. A bloke with an Indian accent asked for me by name, but I played it coy and didn’t confirm. Just then, my internet cut out completely. When I inquired who he was and the reason behind his call, he claimed there was some fraudulent activity concerning my accounts. I must admit, I let a few choice words slip before hanging up. Almost instantly, my internet was back up. I looked into the number and discovered it's linked to a BITCOIN SCAM from a company called Gamma Telecom Holdings Ltd, based in London. What a right nuisance!Gamma Telecom Holdings LtdLondon4 yearsGot a call from someone hyping up Bitcoin but it smelled fishy, definitely a scam. Stay away!Bitcoin4 yearsThis number kept ringing me non stop. So I looked it up online and ended up blocking it straight away.4 yearsSome foreign guy called me and kept saying “Mr David,” which I found pretty suspicious since it’s not even my name. Definitely not the FCA like they claimed.DavidFCA4 yearsI've received calls continuously over the past few days, only for the line to disconnect as soon as I answer.4 yearsThey said they were with the FCA, but when I asked them to show some evidence, they got really rude with me.FCA4 yearsGot a call from a lady with a thick eastern European accent claiming to be from the FCA. She said I'd got a bond worth £1000 that was frozen, and mentioned something about changing it into sterling. I've never put any money abroad, so I'm pretty sure it was a scam.FCA4 yearsReceived a call from this number. A chap with a noticeable accent greeted me with, "Good day, Mr Gallaway, how do you do?" I responded with, "Who’s this?" The voice claimed, "It’s the Financial Conduct Authority." Even if the FCA did need to speak to me, I seriously doubt they’d kick off the conversation with, "Good day, Mr Gallaway, how do you do?" It just doesn't seem quite right!GallawayFinancial Conduct AuthorityFCA4 yearsWatch out, it's a Bitcoin scam! They keep calling me from loads of different numbers, probably using some online dialler thing. Stay alert!4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with the FCA, saying I had set up a Bitcoin account about four years back, hadn’t used it, and now they needed to shut it down. They went on about a £350 balance supposedly in the wallet that could be sent to my bank once they verified my identity. Totally a scam, no doubt. When I mentioned that the phone number had loads of complaints online, the woman brushed it off, saying it’s some sort of internet number used by many firms or whatever. My advice is if you get anything like this, just hang up straight away - it's obviously a con.FCABitcoin4 yearsJust got a call from someone saying they were from the "Financial Conduct Authority". Felt dodgy to me, like a scam or something. Probably best to be careful and not give out any info!4 yearsSomebody called Rachel Penny claiming to be from the Financial Services Authority and started pushing me about having some cash in my wallet to invest in bitcoin. I’ve never even thought about doing that, and like others, the name Blockchain was also thrown into the conversation. It felt pretty pushy and aggressive.Rachel PennyFinancial Services AuthorityBitcoin4 yearsI got the same thing from the FCA... Apparently there's a wallet with my name on it holding 600 dollars. The wallet's legit and on the blockchain, but I never made any account on there. The wallet address they gave me is bc1q4thegmlqxxc2kcs7pfsqthyh5t7ymse4vznau3. Quite confusing!FCA4 yearsI couldn't make out most of what he was saying, and I told him that. Then he said he was ringing from the FCA. When he asked if I knew what the FCA was, I replied, “Yeah, but why don’t you explain it to me?” His answer was just “Get lost” before he hung up.FCA4 yearsI had a couple of calls over the past two days from this number, with someone asking about the FCA. They didn’t even say sorry before I just ended the call. I’ve since reported that number to O2 by texting 7726 as spam.FCAO24 yearsSome woman called me claiming she was with the FCA and said she could get back some money I'd lost. It all felt really dodgy to me. Definitely a scam warning!FCA4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the FCA saying they found a wallet with my name on it. Total scam, don’t fall for it.FCA4 yearsThey said they were from the FCA, but it’s obvious they’re not.FCA4 yearsGot a call the other day from someone saying they're with the FCA about a frozen Bitcoin account with about £400 in it that I could get back. Totally a scam though, because the FCA doesn't handle anything like that. Just fake!FCA4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with the FCA saying I had some bitcoin I could cash out. They told me to visit wise.com and wanted me to use AnyDesk so they could see my screen. Total con artists.FCAAnyDesk4 yearsThey said they were with the FCA but when I asked for their address, they couldn’t provide anything that matched what was on the FCA’s website. Pretty obvious it wasn’t actually the FCA.FCA4 yearsI got a call from someone who said they were with the Financial Conduct Authority. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.Financial Conduct Authority4 yearsGot a call from a lady, there was some kind of music playing in the background. She talked really quickly and smoothly, asking me a bunch of questions.4 yearsI’ve had this number ring me a few times this morning already. My phone flagged it as maybe being a scam, so I just didn’t pick up. They never bother to leave any voicemail either. Honestly, I’d say best to just steer clear and not answer.4 yearsGot a voicemail full of loud chatter and giggles, but no clue who was on the other end. Totally mysterious!4 yearsHad a call from someone with a thick foreign accent, quite rude and short with me. When I asked what the call was about, he just hung up instead of explaining. I put the number into my phone and it flagged it as a 'scam' number. This isn't the first time they've called me either, has happened a few times now.4 yearsSomebody rang me up with a strange accent, trying to convince me to do some sort of money deal. I’m nearly 90, so I’m far too old to fall for that nonsense. I've got no intention of being taken for a ride by anyone.4 yearsWhat an absolute pest of a caller! They've bombarded my phone incessantly, yet not once have they bothered to drop a message. There's no way I'm picking up for them!4 yearsSomebody rang me out the blue and as soon as I asked if we were acquainted, they dropped the word "Blockchain". I assumed it was something to do with crypto, so I just ended the call. They've been ringing now and then trying to push crypto schemes on me. Watch out for those kind of calls, you might end up losing a fair bit. Anyone familiar with crypto will understand what I mean.4 yearsNo clue who that was calling me.4 yearsI’m not really sure about this one.Submit Your Own Report (020 8187 1316)
