01269 839047 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

Hi Friends India is very advanced technologically, which makes it easier for them to scam details. The calls are also from other sources - Thailand, USA, UK, Canada, and China, and VERY IMPORTANTLY, RUSSIA. Only small number, but there people are 'evil' - don't care about victims. GENERAL IMPORTANT INFO - there are good people who hate what dcammers do, and do succeed-stop them. - remember GUIDES provided free by good sources like your bank. Most, probably all. They give details about how to stop them, and help you with good results. - written guidance is given by Which? Magazine details. Take time to read and protect yourself - great news and information. A GOOD SOURCE is YouTube - has lot of: - scammers and scammers locations - Scammer-hunters locate them, but can't take any legal action - virtually impossible to identify and prosecute them. - Scammer-hunters expose these people - with good knowledge and understanding the scams - there are 100s or 1000s (+more) of scammers, There is only a low chance of stopping this and the best way to protect yourself, read articles by Which? Magazine and, importantly, advise by bank. In my case, NatWest is great at making people aware of this issue. Please take care. PG

They gain access to your pc in the hope passwords and banking are used on it. They have a lot of ways they try to get you to give the information or they put a key logger on your pc to record your keystrokes.

Had a text from this number asking for redelivery fees of royal mail parcel. It has a link to 'royal mail' sire - very convincing to those unaware of these thieving *****rds text from 07498868863 - another yesterday from other mobile number - I blocked that too. I do actually have a delayed parcel from royal mail and for those not aware of such scams/fraud I am sure would sadly fall for this. Careful folks

01617682483 I have had several call from a Manchester (0161) number over the past months but always report as spam and block. My father was in hospital recently so I have had several unknown and number I do not recognise, but have had to answer. My best advice that works for me is to ignore any unknown numbers and if it’s important ‘they’ will leave a ‘sensible’ message?

Received a call from this number this afternoon, 020 3519 1664, and before on 12th March. Caller was a man who sounded Asian, trying to talk to me about insurance. What was concerning he addressed me by my last name. When I asked him to remove my number from his database, he hung up on me. Both numbers have been blocked. Unfortunately they will try with other numbers.

These people are not using phones they are using computers to imitate phone numbers Its called number spoofing

Have had a series of calls from this number. blocked again!!!

Oh my goddess the same people called me and my partner the other day saying they’re from citizens advice and my boyfriend told me straight away that it’s a scam and to hang up as he was an Indian or Pakistani man with an English name peter or Carl he’s said anyway there scammers and are dangerous.

Fed up of these calls my Father Died recently and since I went to the registrar to report his passing I have been called all the time from different numbers and different companies on my mobile and I have never given my number to anyone other than Friends or relatives before or since so these companies must have a way of getting into there computers which is very worrying indeed

I have had 1 call today form the number above and this number 01413568200 Both saying they were custom and excise and I have would be arrested if I didn't stay on line and talk to them.

No , they do not have your info , they call random numbers and hope to find someone gulible enough to believe them

There is nothing B.T can do about this . The calls are coming from India , they buy a u.k number and use that , or route the calls via the internet to make it look like they are in the U.K . Check out Jim Brown on YouTube

Nice way of dealing with these scammers , they dont know what to do when you react with ''o.k. The aim is to get you to turn on your computer and then they guid you through installing a program that gives them remote access, then they can look at and steal all your personal information . The other thing they can do is lock you out of your own computer using sys key , then they offer to unlock it for a fee but they say that a virus has locked you out , not them . Indian scammers make millions every year from this , they prey on the gulible . Ther is a guy on youtube named JimBrown , he is Irish and he hunts down these people and does what he can to disrupt them

You did the right thing . Its a scam. He would have wanted to gain remote access to your computer , look for bank accounts and other personal details . Block the number
