01269 839047

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

An Indian sounding man, told me he was calling from BT Technical dept and my computer is at risk of being hacked. I told him that I didn't believe he was from BT, and asked him to verify who he thought he was speaking to, he gave me my name! I then said, what is my Account No. then, he started to get a bit irate, telling me he was from the technical dept and they didn't hold that information!! I then said, well, If you're from BT and there's a problem, I'll call them tomorrow and ask to speak to their technical team. He then said "Madam, your internet is going to be shut down in 30 minutes". I just hung up and then checked the number.

This number has rang 3 times this morning ( saturday ) i answed on 3rd attempt but nothing?? Cant wait to speak to him tho 😉

Had a missed call from this number. My home phone has a Call blocking facility that blocks all numbers not stored in my phone, phone did not even ring and I have googled this number which has led me here. Get a call blocking phone and it gets rid of this kind of pest.

Early morning call from this number claiming to be BT. Informed me that my Internet connection was corrupt and would be switched off in two hours for six months! When I was asked to take down his contact details for a special code to connect me I ended the call.

Ditto the same BT scam. When I challenged him he hung up. Surely BT should be on to this? Will msg them and post the response.

Just had a call from this number. Second "spam" call of today. Foreign man saying he was from BT. Mumbled something about the internet connection and then wanted to know if I was the owner of the computer in the house. I said his was the second call of this nature this morning and could I have his number. He hung up.

Had a call from this number today 21st March. It was a foreign man and had trouble understanding him but basically he said he was from BT and my internet was going to be disconnected and he would send me documents in the post to have it reconnected. I asked him again where he was calling from and he hung up

Have received several phone calls from Asian man, today said he was called Peter. Wanted to discuss my computer and internet. I have told them I do not want to deal with them. They do not seem to take 'No' for an answer

They rung at 9:06am, I answered but they hung up, tried calling back half a ring and it was cut off, and I had a message on the phone screen saying, the call cannot be connected.

I had a missed call from this number on my mobile...very very concerned about how they got my mobile number

Same story: Asian accent, claiming to represent BT Technical Services. Internet will be cut off in 30 minutes. My wife answered and passed him to me. I told him he was lying and he rang off. He was ringing on a Virgin phone line. The number ostensibly used is not recognised. More importantly, Ofcom's website does not appear to have a facility for reporting this. Why not?
