Got a text message from this number saying 'Missed call: this number called at 14.21 but left no message.' Bizarrely had another call from a scam number at exactly the same time.
Both my partner and I have received a call from this number on our mobiles within minutes of each other which cant be a coincidence. Checked the number and found this, this number needs to be sourced and blocked esp if he is claiming to be from BT.
I just got a call from this number. So i asked if he was calling about Colin, my giraffe . I refused to be swayed from Colin. According to my phone, I kept it up for 2 mins 44 seconds before he hung up.
received call today from 01269 839047 - didn't answer and glad I didn't
Called me today, I was in a meeting so couldn't answer. When I finished the meeting I called the number only to see that it was invalid. Upon checking the above, it would seem that I didn't miss out on anything. Shame that I couldn't speak to them, I could do with letting some abuse go on a deserving cause! Number now blocked!!
Received a call from this number today. Asian accent, Said from BT internet technical department. I asked him what my name was and hung up when he gave the wrong one.
"I've been informed you were in an accident that wasn't your fault" - pity I can't return the favour ..
Everyday at least 3 times a day I get a call from the above number. Not answered it as they never leave a message. After reading the reports that have already been made, I'm glad I haven't. I have now blocked this number.
Lady telling me I had been involved in accident which wasn't my fault. She slammed phone down on me when I said I was fine ... Nutter!
Had 2 silent calls this morning from this number. With spam calls I usually say 'hold on' and just leave the line open until they twig & hang up. If it's a British voice on the line I advise them to get a proper job...I hope it winds them up.
This number called this morning but left no message
I got a call from this number and believe it to be a scam whereby they convince you there is a virus on your computer then try and sell you software for over £100 to clear the virus. They try and get a screen share with you or else instruct you to open a terminal window and show you your active TCP connections with the “netstat” command (this is not harmful BTW). They try and convince you one or more of these connections are to a hacker. With me I got an initial call from “BT” about my internet connection. Then he tried to get me to open a screen share with him. I refused but suspect it was to do the “netstat” command to show me “bad” TCP connection. He said an engineer would be outside my house shortly and huing up. 10 minutes later I got another call and they got me to do the “netstat” command. I told him I didn’t believe any of these TCP connections were not legitimate. He said if I did not help him fix this virus, due to Data Protection Act(!), my internet connection would be disabled for 6 months. I told him both he and I knew that was a lie. He hung up.
Just had this call myself. Didn't answer as I was on a call and am abroad anyway. Didn't recognise it obviously - looks like I made a good choice not to answer. 😊
I have had a number of missed calls from 01269 839047 - very annoying as I run my own business. Today I answered the phone and and a man with a heavy Asian accent claimed he was called from BT about my internet connection. I asked him what about my internet connection. He said did I know that it was going to be disconnected in two hours time. I asked why? I then said that I would take his number to call him back to make sure he was who he claimed to be. He immediately rang off. He clearly attempting to commit fraud. Is there anyone that these people can be reported to and prosecuted for misrepresentation at the very least?
I've just had an early morning call from the same number, possibly the same asian bloke.. I think he calls early because he's calling from India. I just said to him "This better be good".. then he started his spiel, and I screamed at him to "FUCK OFF".. he's just tried to call again but I haven't answered
