01406 436966

We never get calls on the landline so heart sinks whenever I hear it ring as usually it’s a scammer. This morning we got a call from 02034703216 from a man with an accent similar a local Indian accent. He claimed to be from Virgin Media and asked the usual questions which I’m now totally familiar with e.g. high traffic, how’s your WiFi, check how many lights flashing on the router? WTF?! Have you ever shared your WiFi password, there’s unusual activity etc. Total nonsense but I kept it going to waste his time. Then I told him he’s a fraud and not to call me again and I hung up. 30 seconds later he called me again on another number 01406436966 to interrogate me and asked why I said that! I just hung up again.

01406 436966 called - Unrecognised therefore not answered. They rang off the instant the answerphone cut in, so left no message. Well known scammers, I've blocked this number.

Scamming tossers !!!

Claimed to be from Virgin Media wanting to “install a firewall”. I kept him talking for 20 minutes to keep him away from someone more vulnerable.

Asian woman saying I was due a refund for an overpayment on appliance insurance. when I said someone had rang before and that I'd reported is a scam she hung up. The previous call went as far as 'can you provide me with your bank details so that I can arrange the refund'!

This guy told me I had over paid my bill for a dish washer which I don't have and never have owned, he very kindly told me he would pay me £119 pounds to my account ! ! Never did get to the end of that conversation a great pity £119 pounds was made to sound OK. WHAT A PRAT. I hung up without even saying bye. BE WARNED.

silent call

Appliance warranty, wanted to reimburse me as I’d overpaid, told her where she could go, wanted yo know which account I wanted money to be paid into

Call from a woman from ' BT ' - I said I had just been watching a BBC programme about online and phone scammers - and since this was a cold call and BT are not my suppliers - I hung up. Case of bad timing on her part or what!

Telephone number 01406 436966 called me but did not leave a message. I will not be answering this call, if they call again

Built-in screening on house phone handset, so you have to say who you are and then wait to be connected, so whoever it was, hung up. Blocked the number on the handset from calling me again. As dialling the number from my mobile phone, it's coming up as a 'Spam, potential fraud' alert and the number is actually invalid. So, whoever is calling from this number is upto no good.

Lady with Asian accent called saying she was from BT and I had serious problems with my BT line ( I’m not even with BT) and she would help fix it for me. When I told her I thought she was from a scamming company and to never call me again, she said she would call every day to annoy me and that the police will never be able to catch her. My phone company confirmed it was a scammer. Not sure I need this hassle at the age of 89 and now in future probably would be best for me to hang up straight away.

Indian caller from ‘Virgin Media’. As a customer of VM for over 15 years there was as much likelihood of this being a real call as me being a hat stand. May the directors & staff of Gamma Telecom Holdings (the call originator) be permanently plagued by a perpetual case of treatment resistant haemorrhoids.

Told me they had incorrectly taken payment of £119 for washing machine warranty. Told them I have never had that and hung up.

Said I was due a £119 refund on a washing machine insurance wanted my details I said mail me a check
