01269 839047 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

What's going on with Ammanford in these comments above I is confused bus it

They get you to open your laptop and take you to a place where genuinely and unimportant corrupt files live - they might have a mark against them. They say they can talk you through removing them - for a fee so you either pay £200 to remove files that don't need removing or they will get you to give them remote access - they then can take over your laptop any time they like. DO NOT EVER DO THIS - or on your phone.

These are Indian call centres that fake BT and Amazon. Idea is to get you onto a PC and download TeamViewer which gives them control of your PC, they will then ask you to log in to your bank or will ask for payment to fix your viruses. Watch YouTube Always HangUp

These call centres are in India using a VPN service which gives random UK landline and cell phone numbers. You will always hear a bleep when you answer and before they talk. So you will never be able to call back. Best just hang up

Don’t know if I have been contacted by this number yet. But thanks to sites like this and people reporting their experiences am great fully able to block in advance. For-warned is For-armed 👍

😂😂😂!

A man with an Indian accent said he was from BT & Was going to close my BT internet. I told him that I was going to shut down the brothel his mum & daughters worked in. He got very irate and I laughed and told him his father was a ladyboy & hung up.

These websites are run by the people who make these calls. They use the info you provide them to hone their call techniques. Why else would someone pay to build and mantain a website that provides a free service? Wake up people!

Free boiler replacement and free underfloor insulation. Asked usual random questions, confirm name, address etc. Then asked about benefits. Asked why she wanted to know that and was told that people on benefit automatically qualify. I wouldn’t confirm or deny benefits position. Was still told boiler specialist would be calling me back to discuss.

My nephew had a call about an accident he’d been involved in, he said ‘wow that’s quick, they are just cutting me out of the car’, they hung up. Surely something can be done, the amount of calls are getting ridiculous.

he want my bank account

There is also a cultured lady voice which also tries to convince you that you are going to have trouble with internet, that you are about to be raided by the police, if you dont press a number, that customs and excise will be raiding your home if you dont press 1 and speak to a bogus inspector, I try to keep them on as long as possible by pretending hearing loss and get them to speak up or repeat what they have said, eventually they get fed up and put the phone down

Hi Friends In addition to my previous post, I need to add more items. 1. Scammers are able to use, in our case, UK numbers. So even if in Russia, India, USA and etc., the number looks as if its from here, UK. 2. Scammers use mobile phones and numbers - to make you think it is an important call. This is now VERY COMMON. 3. These are scammers, and say the following as examples: - £600 has been taken from your card and you have authorised it. If you have not done this, please press 1 on keypad. Obviously, you would never had done, and key 1. Goes to the Scammer gets all your info. Says you have to put money in a safe AC account immediately. Tells you to do it, but the money is being put into Scammers account. You lose ALL THE MONEY in your Account - Scammers say your security has been breached - to immediately stop the issue, transfer the money - SAME AS ABOVE - you will give money to scammers. - You have won £500 - They want to give it to you directly into your account Bank Account. You put money into YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU are delighted - and see money into YOUR ACCOUNT, on your computer. Then the scam - he sees your account has £5000 NOT £500 YOU WON. The scammers says he will be in BIG TROUBLE - MUST RETURN THE £4500. You think these things can happen - so happily give the scammer the excess, £4500. He assures all will be fine. You being helpful give scammer the money to thinking you have won the £500. You give scammer the information to get Scammer's his money - INSTEAD HE TAKES ALL YOUR MONEY IN YOUR LAST PENNY - THEY ARE EVIL. - He profusely apologies, says goodbye with ALL THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT. IMPORTANT REMINDER - HIS PHONE NUMBER, LOCATION, ETC. ARE ALL FAKE - EXCEPT all money he has taken. Be careful to stay safe
