01269 839047 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

Got a call from an Asian woman who started shouting at me cause I wouldn’t switch my computer on , so she could talk me through a bt problem , I’m not with bt . But she still insisted I switch my computer on so she could HELP me with my pc problem, which I had no problem with my pc as I don’t use it , I use my iPad , I subsequently put the phone down . Didn’t hear from her again , I do t fall for scams like this especially when they are Asian with an English name , but I do try to wind them up then they usually put the phone down as they’re not getting anywhere .

Hi there, what they do if people fall for it, is they convince You to sit in front of your computer and type in an IP address which will give them remote access, they didn’t place a keylogger on your computer which records every single/you make on the keyboard and records every single site that you look at and can also collect your personal data because they will have access to all of your files

No, they dont have any information that they can use. if they had they would not need to call you. They are just fishing. They randomly generate and call numbers. Anyone can make up a number, just use one of the 5 digit prefixes, then randomly add 7 numbers and you have someone's mobile number. That is why they want to talk and get your name and other details

Who is this

I received two calls this afternoon on my mobile, but my provider had marked them as suspected spam, so I did not answer. The first call was at 16.44 from 020 8695 4129, the second was at 18.16 from 020 8695 4877. I wish these forms of low life would leave us pensioners alone Ron M

Yes I've received several calls from people claiming to be from the C. A. B..... Not even saying on behalf of them... That that's who they are. I asked "so you are an actual employee of the Citizens Advice Bureau are you? Like you said they then just hang up. I presume surely that by now the C. A. B are, actually aware of this happening?

report the numbers, don't just block. if all you're going to do is block, you'll just end up blocking more and more. REPORT REPORT REPORT

not quite true when you say the fraud action line can't do anything as there's no financial loss. they can't open a case BUT...... We have to report every single number, text, email we get that we suspect to be scam to an organisation run by our government and that then works in the background to help stamp out this growing crime wave. It does nothing being smart on the phone with them or telling them where to go. as soon as they realise you know what they're at, they just move on to someone who is less versed. Block the number by all means but it also does nothing to help the cause. If we don't report everything, it's only a number or email, then nothing can happen. Us being clever with them just feeds their desire to skint us.

Text message trying to get me to click on a link and pretending to be from a bank

Several similar calls claiming to be BT Technical Department. Usually Asian accent . I usually respond joke-ingly like Charlie Drake, "Oh, stop mucking about, we both know you're not from BT". They then ring off. On one occasion I said I hadn't got a computer and he went berserk calling me a liar! Keep them going for as long as you feel like it - they're paying for the call. I just feel sorry for those who still fall for this.

Had countless different numbers calling me and my partner, when asked where they are calling from i get something mumbled, it started yesterday morning and is still going on it got to the point where i lost my temper and said a few swear words to which i got a reply saying today is gonna be your last day on this earth.

I’ve just had the same guy call with the same bullshit! He then tried calling 2 more times, from 2 other numbers from 2 different areas 🤣🤣🤣 Do one mate! Lol

01261376013 Called. I was making bacon and eggs. Foreign sounding caller wanted me to go to my computer. I said It is not on, takes a couple of minutes to boot up, give me a minute to start it up. Meanwjhile I put the phone down on the kitchen counter and got on with my eggs and bacon, toast for a terirffc triple fried egg and chilli chutney and bacon sarnie. Forgot he was there, so I just put the phone down ( must have been 4 or 5 minutes! The chav phones me back. I picked up and put phone down immediately. He calls again! He was upset - why did I put the phone down on him? I said I had used the time once PC on to check out his calling number and found it was flagged as fake, fraud. He argued for ages, Finally got rid of him as he was threatening all sorts of reprisals! Happy days. Wind up the scammers and waste their time ... I even had one asian girl say at the end "Ha! At least I wasted your time and you have a huge phone bill now as I back charged you!!!!" I checked with BT immediately and it was all a lie... Trust these callers as far as you can throw them.

But where are the overseas call centres based? OK, they could be from Leicester, Bradford etc.
