02871287612 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02871287612 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call where an automated female voice claims your internet or IP has been compromised and threatens disconnection within 24-48 hours unless you press 1 to speak to an engineer. Callers sometimes sound foreign, and the messages can be confusing or hard to understand. Many users find it annoying and have had multiple calls, often to elderly people. Attempts to report the number to providers like BT seem ineffectual as the scam persists using various numbers. Several people have wasted scammers’ time on purpose to protect others. The consensus is clear - calls are fraudulent, with no legitimate connection to BT or usual internet providers, so widespread ignoring is advised.
Reports on phone number 02871287612
8 yearsGot a call claiming to be from BT saying my landline had been hacked and would be disconnected in a day or two. They told me to hit 1 to talk to a technician. Seemed fishy to me, but I can see how older people might believe it. Classic scam really.BT8 yearsHad a call from some bloke with an Asian accent, barely made out what he was saying. Claimed he was from BT and my internet was in trouble, asking me to get on my laptop and do what he said. Told him I'd call BT myself first and he just hung up on me. Yeah right, like I was going to fall for that. Watch out, folks.BT8 yearsI just told BT about these numbers, 01375 529396 and 01375 805931, hoping they'd track down whoever's using them and shut it down. They didn’t seem that interested though, just told me to try their call blocking thing, which only lets you block about 100 numbers. I bet these scammers change their numbers all the time anyway. You’d think BT and other phone companies could easily put a stop to these once and for all.BT8 yearsDefinitely a scam call, best thing to do is just hang up and don’t bother with it.8 yearsGot a recorded message from a woman claiming my IP was hacked, and I’m not even a BT customer. This was the tenth time I’ve got this kind of call, so figured I'd try to chat with the person on the line. The bloke said his name was David from BT, but he didn’t sound British at all. I told him my system’s triple encrypted and immediately he just hung up. It’s clearly a dodgy scam that really should be shut down.BTDavid8 yearsHad one of those calls again, just like loads of others here. No way am I hitting 1. I probably get a couple or three every single day - different scammers having a go. It's proper annoying.8 yearsIt’s always that annoying recorded American lady saying my internet’s been hacked, I wonder if anyone really buys into these nonsense scams???8 yearsGot a call from a recorded American lady saying my internet address was being hacked from different countries. She warned that my connection would be cut off in 24 to 36 hours unless I hit 1 to speak to a technician. Pretty sure it was a scam.8 yearsGot a call with a recorded message about my IP being hacked or something, then they just hung up.8 yearsWATCH OUT!! Got a call from some recorded lady voice talkin' about my internet service being compromised or sumthin' like that. Sounds dodgy to me, probably a scam!8 yearsGot a call from some robotic woman saying my internet had been hacked or something. When I asked which company was calling, no reply at all. She told me to press 1 but I didn’t bother. The number’s got a Londonderry area code according to your site, but I’m not convinced that’s where they’re actually dialing from. Honestly, how on earth did they get hold of my home phone number? I’m definitely going to report this to my phone provider.Londonderry8 yearsTotal con artists!8 yearsThere wasn’t any sound when I answered.8 yearsMy elderly mum and dad got a phone call from an automated voice saying their internet had been hacked and would be cut off if they didn’t talk to their ‘engineer’. Thankfully I was nearby when it happened and managed to stop my 83-year-old dad from falling for it! I’m going to report this number to the police soon and suggest anyone else who gets called by these scammers should do the same. The more people report them, the harder it gets for these fraudsters to keep going.8 yearsI picked up and a recorded voice told me my internet would be cut off because my IP address was being accessed from multiple countries. It asked me to press 1 to talk to an advisor. I just switched my phone off straight away. Later a relative said it was definitely a scam.8 yearsI got a call from some computerised woman’s voice saying my computer was hacked or something. Total scam artists trying to scare you. Don’t fall for it!8 yearsIt was clearly a scam, the call came from a robot voice.8 yearsGot a call with a robot telling me my internet's been hacked or something. Hung up and blocked the number straight away.8 yearsGot a recorded message from this number, similar to what others are talking about. They asked me to pick an option to talk with some "engineer" who claimed my phone was hacked in loads of countries and offered to fix my router. I didn’t fall for it and simply ended the call - it was pretty clear they were trying to get into my computer. What baffles me is, if so many folks are warning about this scam, why is this number still allowed to keep ringing people?8 yearsGot a robo call saying my internet’s about to get cut off 'cos my account was hacked or something. Total scam, no doubt! These scammers really need to be stopped!!!8 yearsPretty much a typical con, I just ended the call straight away.8 yearsI called back hiding my number and asked whether their line was for personal use or a company. He told me it was private and mentioned he was having problems with his phone.Submit Your Own Report (028 7128 7612)
