01269 839047 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

All comments sound like Simon sais. Anybody commerically calling before 9am cannot be of a professional nature.

the worst thing is if the other side doesn't hang up you will get a huge mobile bill. There is help out there, many people are having personal data stolen, hacking takes all shapes and forms.

Clearly a scam. Claimed to be from Curry's/PC World and wanting to offer a deal on a new phone...

I had a similar call saying they were from 03

Yes, about 95% of calls to my mobile are either surveys, scam deals, Amazon, Lifestyle crap or nobody there when answered. Most of the time I just ignore if the number doesn't come up as one of my contacts.

Simply ignore any numbers you don’t recognise

Had a missed call from this number earlier and was able to call back. It was a man with an Indian accent calling about a recent accent ..that i never had!

01269 839047 called claiming to be Peter from BT. Had a lovely chat with Peter about all my problems with BT as a company, opened up my computer doing as he requested and gave him my passwords and bank details. He seemed very happy! I don't have a computer, I'm not with BT and l made up the passwords and bank details off the top of my head! 🤣

They are still at it. I was called just now using the same rubbish about computer not working. They hung up when they see I wasn’t up to their tricks.

So what was British Telecom's response? It seems to me that BT should face criminal charges for aiding abetting and FACILITATING criminal fraud via telecommunications, and direct criminal harassment. They've been ignoring these criminals using their facilities in the commission of widescale organised crime for at least 6 years.

If you never gave him any personal info I.e bank details, address DOB etc then I’d say your pretty safe this person was just phishing & CAB never ring u unless u have been in contact with them.

These scumbags occupy entire floors of run down buildings in New Delhi, Pune and Madras. They sit in booths and a computer with a mug list makes the calls and allocates one of these cockroaches as an operator. They all have basically the same story. There's really no point in kicking off at them it's all in a day's work. The only time I got a rise out of one was after telling him what a great time I had with his sister the night before.

imagine being afraid to say that an indian sounding person was calling from india

steve, you're a dumbass, nobody cares about those details

Answered one of these calls once when my son was up from London. He took over and kept him on for over half an hour. He said that, if he has time, that's what he always does on the basis that whilst he amuses himself he is preventing someone else becoming a possible victim.
