Neil reported unknown with the number 01269849064 as Harassment calls
Man from India trying to gain access to your computer by getting you to type in certain things. Knew was dodgy from start, had fun with it for a while then told them where to go - not politely!
Pat replied 6/16/14 9:55 AMSame Microsoft Windows Security scam as Neil reported. They called me on 10 June 2104. Should be stopped - many people will fall for it.Chrissy replied 1/21/15 1:08 PMa friend of mine got caught out not realising. Luckily they didn't get into his bank and he had support to reset everything but there will be many out there who don't and probably won't even tell anyone as they will think it is their fault. There should be a way to trace these numbers surely? -
ScamZonker reported number 01269849064 as 01269849064
This number (and others) is a proxy which is to say a number that foreign companies can use to look like they're calling from within the UK.
Some will be "legit" organisations trying to sell you a 'No Win, No Fee' claim or someone wanting to help you claim back PPI. Some will ask you o complete a survey, the results of which they'll sell on for marketing.
Some individuals though will use proxies for scams, phishing and other illegal activity. This is not just one company. -
RGradeless reported number +441269849064 as FSA
Had a call from Jack saying he was from the Financial Services Agency. I was owed £1950 because I had overpaid a loan. He confirmed my details. He then asked about the "loan". I gave false details - I have no such loan. He said a supervisor would ring me back. I am awaiting the call. Judging by his accent and the time delay in responding Jack was clearly making the call from an overseas call centre.

Annonymous reported World online with the number +441269849064 as Harassment calls
This guy rang the wrong person and has now got so many viruses on his computer, one of them will cripple his system as he I T knowledge was very limited.
Steven replied 2/23/15 11:37 AMWould love to know how you can send them a virus for future reference.
I wouldn't do it from my current laptop because it has bank details in it but with the next one I would be very tempted -
loftladderman reported number 01269849064 as unknown
Microsoft Windows Security scam. As they had not been given my mobile number, it didnt take a rocket scientist to realise it was a scam of some sort. I strung them along for ages, as they were paying for the call, and even told them I had to answer the door twice. After about half an hour, with me chuckling at the inane things I asked them, and laughed even more when asked to hand over control of my PC to them, someone uknown butted in, swore at me in lovely Engish, telling me roughly, to go away ha haaaaa - BUT I guess many people will fall for it.

Pete reported Windows with the number 01269849064 as Cost trap
Asian caller named Alan Cooper (!!!) from Widows whose English required interpretation. He told me there was a problem with my computer as it had been sending them error reports.
How this is possible I do not know but I kept stringing him along until he rang off. -

Fed up with computer calls reported Indian caller saying he is from microsoft with the number +441269849064 as Harassment calls
Indian calling claiming to be from Microsoft. Says that he has received lots of error messages and that your computer is being hacked. He then tries to gain access to your computer by getting you to log into a remote access site.

kittywake reported unknown with the number +441269849064 as Harassment calls
Call comes from someone with an Indian type accent stating they are from Windows and that he is calling because they are getting error reports that my computer is being hacked. He is very insistent that I should turn my computer on and that I should follow his instructions. I have had a number of these calls recently. They know my name and even the street I live on but they don't know the number (although they will try and get that from you). I usually try and string it out as long as I can. I have found that asking them to confirm my product ID code that I would have registered with windows is a good one. They seem somewhat surprised that I even know where to find it. These guys are relying on catching the unwary into giving them access to their computers. If you have the time, string them along but DON'T let them persuade you to 'run' a programme in that little box on the left hand side of the screen! They will gain access to your computer and all your confidential data.

Ricky reported UK Lifestyle with the number 01269849064 as Survey
Judging by others' experiences this number is used by so-called Windows conmen and today by "UK Lifestyle". "Gavin" Indian (10.39) and an Indian woman on same number (08.20!) pestering me for another survey whereby they pass my number on to a host of other companies depending on what answers you give. Yes, I have even tried to be cooperative in the past. Big mistake. If the number can be pinpointed to Ammanford why can't BT cut it off?

Elephantcurryshop reported unknown with the number 01269849064 as Harassment calls
This Indian man claims to be from Microsoft, stating that he will make sure ISIS Islamic State will firebomb my apartment because I wont let him access my computer! I asked him if he would send round cheese naan bread, pilau rice and lamb madras because I was hungry and as he was there at the time... I said I would look out for the elephant from his dirty curry shop. He has stopped calling because I get my calls screened before they are connected. Hope you read this Ghunga Dinner!
Forgot-to-mention replied 9/10/15 11:35 AMIf you get a call from these degenerates talk in an indian accent and say "i do not talk Gujarti, Punjabi or BenGali" and then in American accent "Mola Ram you have betrayed Shiva!". If the calls are coming from USA its costing them a toll to call you, so get some entertainment value out of them, because if your getting calls from this scum, they probably hate you. They have treatened me for nothing! They keep calling in the night, early morning.Steven replied 9/10/15 12:10 PMProblem with just insulting them is that they get insults all day long, doesn't bother them, call gets ended very quickly but you are never taken off the list. Far better to stalk to them, pretend to be interested or stupid and string them along for longer, The calls tie up their phone lines and operators, the longer you talk the betterStraker replied 11/1/15 8:32 PMLove your humour, I's better to take the piss out of these sods then react to their banal comments. Wasting their time for as long as you can will really piss them off too.As they are tied up with you and not rooking some poor innocent.
