01269 839047 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

Two calls so far today from this number. One at 14.47 and next at 15.14. On answering phone get silence followed by a female voice saying goodbye.

Got a call from this number but never answered, glad I didn't now.

I got a call from this number, a Asian woman claiming to be from Nationwide Building Society. Wanting to speak to my Cousin. She gave his full name and my address, though he has never lived here and told her so. Can I ask your name she asks? I said no, why do you need them. She then hangs up.

Calls at around 10:00. Tells me that he is from British Telecom. He is calling because "We have detected a problem with your computer". He is insistent that I must log on to my machine so that he can help me to resolve this problem. We are not with BT and he is obviously a dodgy character. But Hey! I'm retired and time spent "helping" me is time not available for scamming someone else. "Can I call you back? I'm rather busy just now." "No sir, this is not a help desk. This very urgent." [Sounds like this is offshore] He transfers me to a "Technical specialist" "Can you wait, my laptop is upstairs." [More time wasting but my pc is upstairs] "Look at the left side of the keyboard. Hold down the Ctrl key and the black flag key" He wants me to enter the sequence EVENTVWR. This opens the event log. Look up this item on Wikipedia where all is explained, including "Often used by scammers" to persuade users that there is a problem with their machine. "I'm sorry but I have to go now. Can you call back in say an hour?" Amazingly he does call back three hours later but I really don't have the time to play.

Just had a missed call from this number, glad I had missed it. No message left... Really annoying to think I could have interrupted something important just to be mugged off by this clown. Thanks everyone for sharing.

I had a call from 01269 839047 saying same thing, my internet would be disconnected, I said ok "that's great" he replied, what is great about that? I replied, I do not have Internet, now f--k off and aquire some morals!!!

I was called this morning from 'London, England 020 7946 1413' and decided not to answer it. I instantly received a message stating that I had a missed call from +44 1269 839047. So glad I didn't answer the call :)

got this call last night but did not answer it as I did not recognise it, it was to my private mobile and not my work one which is strange. Anyway I checked it and found the cmment below. Glad I did.

After reading the below messages turns out i made the right choice. Beware!!

The idea behind these calls is to either get you to disclose additional information that can be used to Hack into one of your accounts, to get you to download manually some program to your PC (Manually to bypass any Firewalls or Virus protection you have) or to simply extort money from you.

Caller blocked.

Recieved a missed call (immediately missed as I was on my phone at the time) don't bother calling back.

unsolicited

Just had a call from this number, as my business mobile i answered....after 4 seconds and no words they hung up without saying a word. Looks like another scam!
