01269 839047 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

Unfortunately it's probably computer generated and not allowing incoming calls.

Should be careful even talking to these people because they can use your voice in AI now and potentially use it for scams. There was a famous case recently where someone lost millions because of it.

Has been ringing me for over a month at least once a day, the next time they call they'll hear what I really think. I answered once and didn't say a word and they hung up. They need to f#@k off

same

So you think you had your personal information stolen on the basis they said you had debt 😆

Asian gent intended to cut off my computer due to fault at my end, Made casual chat and asked what the weather was like in Karachi today. He was rather snappy so I said that he was a very lucky man to have had the privilege to have danced at his parents wedding. This lit the blue touchpaper and he started to swear at me before hanging up

They are hackers, that's how they get new numbers and numbers on the TPS.

Creepy is an understatement.

I always say yes that's true and when they ask for details I tell them I died. Just wish I could be a fly on the wall at the time to see their faces.

Is a phonce a phone ped. O?

Caller claimed to be from 'DMA' and that the 'insurance company' had passed over the details from an accident. Phishing for accidents. Hung up.

Let’s keep these idiots going when they call. Posted your record time for keeping them on the line and how you did it. The guy that used “are you calling about my giraffe called Colin” made me chuckle. And my name is “Joseph king”, but I prefer “Jo” was a good one..:.in the end he clicked Jo king 😀

BT should be doing more I understand that they can’t stop the cloning of numbers but they could leave a recorded message telling people this is a cloned number used for that purpose instead the line just goes dead when ringing back BT should be ashamed this number as bin going since 2015

02045254917

Just received a call from this number, I googled it before I was going to answer and after reading some of these comments I'm glad I didn't.

Weird homosexual Pakistani guy calling me about 'new dealings' on mobile contract. Told him I was not interested. He then began to tell me I had a lovely 'woice' (voice) and begged me to stay on the phone.

01483 694442 Just called me. Claiming same thing . However when I told him he had my name wrong he was adamant he he’d all correct details. And I didn’t know my own name. When I asked what scam he was trying on me he hung up .

It’s when you go to work and you have to meet people like this, horrid ugly specimens

Claim to be calling about Avis life insurance which I don’t have.

Don’t be concerned, they reel the numbers off a list at random

Got called by an Asian guy with a heavy accent (suprise surprise). He claimed to be from EE saying something about reducing my bill as I'm a loyal customer. My dumbass had just woke up and I gave him a password reset code thinking it was a 2 step authentication. Within about 30 seconds my brain turned on and I've just spent the last hour changing all of my passwords as a precautions. Lesson learned always read any message you get when it involves a code. Oh and after I hung up he called back on a different number a number which is actually an EE inbound number which is scary to be honest. He even said you can Google the number and I think it is the upgrades line but the number is 0800 956 6000

This code is from Wales. It is an Ammanford Number.

Lau TV One , out of countless of tricks used by these not very nice people is to get us to call them back, A very sad sign of the times is us having to distrust everything and everyone until we know better. If you or your phone doesn't know or recognise the number, odds on it's a scammer. Let your answerphone do the work, then check the number. Don't waste your time with where the number is from, it's fake, some realistic, others not so. We, as a nation , have an awful lot to learn, sadly we're not. As things are the govt and the phone companies are NOT going to help us! Only we can stop this.

David, if it were that easy this muti million pound business of theft and corruption simply would not exist. The phone companies (allegedly) take a cut both setting up and on the calls on these invisible numbers for these rather unsavoury people to hide behind and continue robbing us, even though they say they're doing all they can to stop it. Can't fathom it myself.

Guys, these people will try *EVERYTHING and ANYTHING*. They prey on the less technically inclined by using test statements, for example, "I've turned our Internet off" and listening to your reply. If it's "why?" they're in. If "no you haven't", they move on. They can't access your computer or internet without getting your IP address and other technical and private info, unless you give access through an app. Please don't be tricked by them. Just keep them talking if you want, give then NO REAL INFORMATION. But waste their time, pretend you're doing what they ask, ask what their mother would say about what they're doing, but don't believe a word they say and DON'T LET ANY INFO SLIP. Me, I just don't answer, but if you want to you can waste their time, but remember, if you answer, they will add a note to your number saying "this person answers" and you may get more calls from others too. I hardly get any because I don't give my number out unless absolutely necessary, and I ignore the rare numbers I don't recognise. I don't decline it, I just turn the sound off, so there's no interaction and it wastes their time. We need to unite against these scum, and the way to do that is by teaching the older generations, and then we can then give them a collective "FUCK OFF!" from us all.

The longer you keep scammers on the telephone, the less time they have to scam someone more vulnerable.

Bt will never close a money making scheme,because they don’t give a f###

What puzzles me is why people take time to talk to these scammers then make it sound like they are wise to these sort of scams, why not just ignore them and get on with something a little more important ? .

Don't put your computer on when hes on the phone they login remotely and put a virus a and empty your bank account

The best thing to do is blow a whistle down the phone loud it hurts there ears there just a pain in the backside

Your comment is laughable as nearly all scams originate in India. I have no problem with Americans as you seem to have.

'Gentleman'?

02045025601 Just rang me now but I didn't answer this time ots been the same every morning

you shouldn't call back. I did and it's when they can hack your phone :-(

I had to change my mobile number to get off these lists.

Claiming to be from o2 promotions, unrealistically offering 50% off my bill, you'll get messages from actual o2 with a code to repay back, do not repeat it back as they are using that genuine code from o2 to access your account

Woman with an Indian accent 1st, said was from Vodafone and I had been given 30% off my bill for a year and a free apple watch series 4. Bit dubious but she sent a text message and it came up as Vodafone and the same number that my weekly rewards come through on. Asked me to log on to my Vodafone app (I said i didn't have it) and hen asked me to log on my computer (said I was in the car so didn't have it) Meanwhile I contacted Vodafone automated chat on their website and they confirmed it was A SCAM. Then an Indian sounding gentleman called Eric rang me to confirm all my details. I hung up and changed all my details.

Called just after I got a security activation code from o2 that i hadn't requested (who I called straight away and said nothing had happened on my account!) so obviously were about to try to hack into my account

447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525 447763172525

I was taking a nap. Don’t call me again!!!!!

This guy was the man who claimed he was from GMC complete conman has rang me about 100 times saying he has my medical file ect ive told him to piss off numerous times now he’s claiming yo be BT DONT BE FOOLED FOLKS ITS A CON !! Sometimes an Asian lady calls to to be warned !!

I've had my details stolen too and they called saying something about social housing repairs.

They gain access to naive people’s computer & then bank details, credit card details & lots of information about yourselves pls don’t fall for it, personally I like winding them up & when I’m fed up I tell them they can go back to humping their goat or wife which ever has the prettiest beard lol

Obviously this number from Birmingham is still being used to call people. I didn’t answer as I didn’t recognise the number as wasn’t one of my contacts. Why do they still try is beyond me!

Just keep them talking if you're not too busy. If they ask you for pin numbers or account numbers just make them up. This wastes their time and annoys them more than insulting them.

Call the company that sells these numbers to known scammers - gamme holidngs ltd and ask them - 0333 014 0000

I dont think you understand what having your personal info being stolen actually means. This is cold calling, not theft of personal info.

Yeah it's called number spoofing

Asian accent, called claiming he works for O2. Told him to stop scamming people and hung up

Strong Pakista accent , said his name was Oliver Smith ! then asked me if I liked brown men he then made disgusting noises and said he wanted to see my 'bobs and vagene' - whatever that is . Call centre in Southall .

Blocked as spam now,

Don't waste your time ringing him back pal , you might not be able to call anyway.

I've never been screwed over by phone by an American & it's a fact that who's calling sound asian or Pakistani & before you state I'm racist my husband is Pakistani.

I love these phone calls they break up my day 30 mins of winding them up pretending I believe them etc & when I'm bored telling them they're scum & stink & need too bath. Also it keeps them from praying on our elderly or those that are not clued up.

Received a call from this number today. Was marked as potential SPAM on my mobile so I declined the call. They have used this number before. I never answer!!!

Got a call about 9:50 ish in the morning. An indian sounding lady apparently from London area, crowded background noise. Asked for me by my name, I asked who it was, said she wanted to talk to me about life insurance and I immediately hung up and shortly blocked. I rarely pick up numbers I don't recognise idk why I did this time.

The intent is for you to pass remote control of your system to their computer, from which they will access your files.

My smartphone flagged it as scam number so i didn't take the call. I've now blocked the number!

An Indian guy rang a friend of mine and ask him to turn computer on as there was something wrong with internet ( he’s no idea about these things) then the guy told him what to do on keypad after fifteen minutes the guy said everything was sorted and hung up , what my friend didn’t realise was that his bank account was hacked and they’d taken £3000 , his bank sorted things out for him in the end so never listen to these people

No I have all my personal details stolen too and they keep trying things with me citizens advice credit investigation department all that won’t leave me alone

Sadly BT wont help = THEY GET PAID FOR USEAGE of the phone system = they WELCOME scammers as does sunak ,after all sector 5 Kolkata ( scamazon ) is ONE FLOOR BELOW Mr Sunaks investment in Channel 18 news India

Just had a call on my mobile claiming to be curry's mobile.blood scam call😡😡😡

Just have call from this nunber twice today,representing as 3G operators and giving as loyal customer 30% off from my contract,plus free Samsung Galaxy 8 Tab ultra.As i askws to call back in 5 minutes,they agreed.In taht time i just quickly rang 3G and explained everything,they assured me it's 100% scam and nobody from 3G called me ,plus they not doing offers like that.Off course scamees called back and i said i will be reporting it to police as they are scamers,they quickly hung up...Lucily i called 3G to confirm all info,as it sounded to good to be true.Be careful people! P.S. Both time scamees called it was asian accent men and women.

Lee from loughborough I get 4 calls a day every day I have never answered it yet but have blocked it they never ring my house number but always ring my mobile number it's always the 020 number I'm getting so sick and tired of it now someone from BT surley has to put an end to this issue

Didn't answer, tried to call it back but "number not recognized".

The caller was trying to get you to install 'a remote access program' (under the guise of something else). Had you gone along with it, he would then have full access to your PC and everything it contained. Calling back a number or pressing a number on your phone following a recorded message is also bad news. Simply hang up.

Just had a call from this number this morning. I did not answer it and decided to search for this number and I am glad I did. It seems to have a long history of scam calls.

It's scammer

These callers are ALWAYS Asian.

The telephone I've been called on is widely used for work and it's displayed on my signature emails and business tickets from my country - Italy - to the rest of the Europe. So let's say that I was expecting these kida calls. Anyway , 2 calls from this number in less than a week. The same shit : a lot of nice " good morning " and " sorry to bother you " after the guy asked a confirmation of my name. At first attempt I confirmed then I aborted the call , the second time I said I wasn't the person the guy supposed I was. He became aggressive and I said it. He tried to calm down but the voice tone was not . Calls aborted and number blocked. They can't scam you until you give them your datas. Yes , they have your number , then ? Be cool and reply them with the good old one" f**k you " because is all what these scammers deserves.

BT very rarely make outbound calls - and they woulnt never know if u were being hacked. BT rely on customers to make them aware that there is a problem. They would only ever CUT you off - if u havent paid a bill - this can be checked on the MYBT app - website. im pretty sure this is defo a scam- if u have bt call protect, u can block them. Also BT are unable to *screen share*so if these callers want to take over ur screen - refuse xx

He can't steal your information by talking on the phone, unless you told him your details.

Asian chap said he was from Currys PC world. Just hang up and block

Total fraud\scam, using bank ppi, saying they have claimed compensation of £2550 + interest of £1550 from your bank, when asked what the name of my bank is, i said my bank was "bank of paris" (which doesn`t exist), and they didn`t know this, then they gave me a ref number and and id number, saying they don`t ask for bank or card details, and the cash was in a wallet ?, and passed me to another asian, he then asked me the id and ref numbers, which i gave the wrong ones, confused he then asked for my phone no to check the numbers? and then he gave some more id and ref numbers and said these were the correct ones, which where also different to the originals ref and id numbers, an then said i wasn`t good with tech, and said he will help me to access this wallet, he then asked me to put my phone on loud specker (why), and go to the play store and download an app named anydesk (which he could then use to access my phone via the remote access facility ) to steal bank details, identity, passwords/codes etc, these scum need to be stopped, report to police phishing, financial conduct authority

what a croc shit you know absolutely nothing

The Asian accented male, stated he was from the Public Health office. And I informed him, I was from Mars and that my alien powers knew he was a Spammer. Blocked!

Hi Gentleman, You said you think your personal info is stolen! Can they, even if you havn't given? Is it proven later? Or only it was a believe & guess work!

Received a call from this number but my 'phone said it was a scam. I answered and played him some Rock music at full volume. Surprisingly he rang off - obviously not a music fan.

Lol. Your mssg made me laff because I got more blocked mssgs than contacts aswell lol

I had same call ...I asked when did I have the accident then?.the woman replied Dont get clever with me Lady and hungup on me!! Haha !!!

Jon that was in visible a brilliant response of it being a criminal act against the crown and call being traced.

How do you know all your personal information has been stole? How did you find that out? Or are you just assuming it has been stole?

"Anyone have any numbers I can use to call this scum. " No. They use VOIP and number cloning, so what pops up on your phone isn't the number being called from. Go and learn about the Indian national industry on Youtube by watching Jim Browning, or Pierogi, or Scammer payback, then when you've gained some knowledge, tell all your friends and family in order to help them not lose money. If you choose not to bother to learn and not to bother to share what you learn, you're part of the problem.

Just had a man telling me he's a bailiff and knows all my debts named everything telling me he's been told to collect from me

I do that - love winding them up. I've had the 'your washing machine warranty is about to run out' I may have been taken except I have a new washing machine and it has a 10 year warranty on it.

As soon as they say it's to do with my internet, I put the phone down. My internet provider never phones uninvited

Probably from a program that continually dials mobile numbers until somebody answers. Worry not; they don't know who you are!

sounds like the call I just received from 01204963700

This number was on an email my husband received today claiming he had subscribed to a firm called FRESH BOOKS.. They said they had taken out £49 and that if he wished to cancel to follow THEIR link to Paypal... Its a scan to get into your paypal account. avoid like the plague.

You don't know what they gain?tgey take all your information from your computer

An Asian sounding female rang,to say that She was from Warranty Cover,and that Our Washing machine Warranty had expired,which I knew was a lie. When I told Her that I did not have a washing machine,She hung up.

Hung up as soon as I said hello. Probably moving on til an old dear answers. That's the level these creeps are on.

This was my experience with this number also.

Bt do own alot of fibre optics for Internet and telephone however other companies use the service and I would imagine that it would be the company that you are with that would issue with there customers that there was a problem. This would be done via there website

The called and dropped the call

I answered the phone and played a 5 KHz tone at +12dB - I hope his ears are bleeding Ha!

what info did you give?

Hello Mrs P! It’s me, Peter! I hope you are okay dahlink.

Standard Kokata call centre scam
