07142261212 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 07142261212 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting UK residents, involving automated calls with an American-accented male voice posing as BT or TalkTalk representatives. Callers falsely claim fraudulent activity, malware issues, or unauthorized usage on the recipient's internet or phone service, threatening arrest if the listener does not press 1 to connect to a supposed technician. The calls are distressing, especially for elderly or vulnerable individuals, with messages repeated multiple times before hanging up. Pressing 1 leads to silence or on-hold music, and the numbers often appear as mobile or foreign, suggesting they do not originate in the UK. Recipients are strongly advised not to respond, not to press any keys, and to block or report the number to prevent further harassment.

Got a call from some robotic American bloke telling me I’m facing arrest and to “press 1 to speak with BT and stop it.” I hung on just to tie them up and maybe make ’em spend more on the call. They played the message again before hanging up on me.

Got a call from a robotic sounding bloke claiming to be from the "BT Technical Centre," saying my internet had malware and was being used for some sort of fraud. He warned me I'd be arrested straight away if I didn't press "1." The funny thing is, I don’t even have internet! Total scam, really nasty and it could scare folks badly. It’s mad that these scammers aren’t caught and punished properly. Why do they get away with it?

Got a voicemail that was kinda muffled, I swear they said something about Ford but with the way it came through it might’ve been fraud. They were going on about some kind of investigation or something. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from an automated guy with an American accent pretending to be from BT. He said there was some dodgy activity on my email and warned I'd get arrested if I didn’t press one to talk to someone from BT. Seems like just another version of those BT phone scams I’ve heard about lately.

My elderly in-laws got one of those automated calls pretending to be from BT saying the police would get involved if we didn’t press 1. I’m pretty sure these calls aren’t even coming from the UK. They really should be tighter about how foreign companies are allowed to use UK numbers, especially BT or whoever’s in charge of number allocation. It’s just not right.

Got a recorded call from someone saying they were from the BT tech team. They claimed my internet was spreading malware and warned me I’d end up in trouble with the law if I didn’t press 1 to fix it. Sounded like a proper scam to me.

On 6th June 2019, I got yet another scam call pretending to be from BT, saying there was some problem with my connection or illegal activity. I’ve been getting loads of calls like this from different numbers lately and I normally just block them straight away. But this was the first time the voice was a man’s, sounded like a robot or pre-recorded message, telling me I’d get arrested if I didn’t follow their orders! Honestly, the safest thing to do is just hang up immediately.

Got a call from 07142 261212 saying I had done fraud with BT and that I needed to press one right away or I’d be arrested? Totally scary stuff. They really should be shut down before they trap anyone more vulnerable than me.

Definitely a scam, don't give out any info at all. It's not legit, so best to just hang up and not share anything.

Just like everyone else, I got this automated call saying there’s been some suspicious activity and I need to press 1 straight away. Honestly, BT really ought to step up and do something about these instead of leaving us all to keep blocking them one by one.

So I got this call, said it was from B.T. Telecom and threatened me with being arrested if I didn’t hit button one to get back to them. It’s seriously dodgy and sounds like some sort of scam. The weird thing is, the message came from a mobile number, which makes it even more suspicious. Honestly, these calls should just be banned.

So I got this BT wall-mounted phone, right? Not long after I hooked it up, some dodgy caller was on the line telling me to press 1 or whatever. Like others here have mentioned, it’s fishy. I reckon BT should really check this out because I have a feeling setting up the new phone triggered the scam call or something. Proper annoying!

I got the exact same call on 6th June 2019 around 2:10 pm. Just like others have said, if you hit 1 like they ask, you just get some hold music playing. Honestly, don't press 1. And if you've already done it, I'd take a good look at your phone bill just to be safe!

My 77 year old dad, who’s got dementia, got a call saying he was going to be arrested. It really upset him and caused a lot of distress. Honestly, it’s awful to scare someone like that, especially an elderly person. The people doing this should be the ones getting in trouble!

Today it happened once more - these idiots trying to con elderly and vulnerable people using different phone numbers, pretending to be from ‘BT’, saying your internet will be cut off unless you "Press 1 to talk to a tech or you’ll get prosecuted."

If you get texts or calls that seem like a scam, you can send them to 7726. For calls from a mobile number, mentioning something like 'Scam call' helps. Then the mobile companies look into it and can block those numbers.

Absolutely a dodgy call. A guy with an American accent claiming to be from BT's tech support rang me up. He said my computer was hacked and had viruses, and even warned about fraud. Then he tried to scare me by saying I'd be arrested unless I pressed 1 to connect to their 'technical team'. The strange thing is, the number showed up as a German mobile. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!
