When we tried contacting it only came up with an automated message that didn’t state any company name asking us to leave a message. Normally legitimate company numbers with automated answering would state the company name and make it specific for the caller whom they are in contact with for clarity.

Which company uses 0141 769 0013?

The operator of the number is Net-Work Internet Ltd which is a managed internet communication, data, voice and custom application service provider. They have been established in 1996 as an independent organisation providing network communication solutions for various customers. It is very simple website they use online to present their services and there is not even a phone number provided to contact, no form to fill in or an email address. 

We have checked further to determine if they are trading under a different name that would be more detailed than their webpage online at https://net-work.net/. They are actively known as Net-Telco offering UK and International phone numbers and call-handling services that you can manage through a Web Interface, they offer geographic and non-geographic numbers including 033, 0800, 084, 087 and 09 numbers or numbers that are not originating from the UK.

Is 0141 769 0013 a scam call?

If you receive a call from the number 01417690013, the call may be linked to scam or fraud as some reporters claim it is an accident compensation claim and some state it is a call from Carphone Warehouse. However, there is no confirmation that any calls are related to Carphone Warehouse which is a large, recognised company in the UK, and their name might have been used to build trust for the call receiver, having made further investigation and variety of reports from the public has not allowed to make a connection with the number to Carphone Warehouse.

What to do when you receive a call from 0141 769 0013?

When you receive a call that is hard to identify the purpose it is advised to raise the complaint to www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040. Phone Scams can be damaging to many of us, if a call is suspicious and you believe there would be an advantage for the public for the number to be investigated officially then we suggest reporting it immediately to prevent others from receiving calls and experiencing the outcomes in further damages of the scammers. When reporting please make sure you add the exact time and date of the call with the number on your caller ID. 

Remember that scammers will call people unsolicited, pretending to be from an organisation that is trustworthy just like in this investigation the caller is stating they are from Carphone Warehouse, their main intention would be asking for your personal information like bank details similar to expect to make direct debit payment setup for a phone upgrade or even a one-off fee as an additional payment for the phone. The other alternative is hacking, after a phone call sometimes we may receive a phishing text message or an email with a link that will allow scammers to access your devices therefore we strongly recommend every person in a position to receive unsolicited calls that raise alarms to take their part in the community by reporting the number to action fraud.
