Reports on phone number 001226490001
10 yearsRight, so this just happened. I picked up the phone and the lady goes, “Can I have your full name please?” She sounded like she had a thick Indian or Pakistani accent. Then I asked where she was calling from and she said “Microsoft.” I then asked for an address and she told me “100 Victoria Street, London.” When I asked for a phone number so I could call back she quickly asked why I needed it. Before I could say anything the line went dead. Pretty clear what was going on there.Lisa WilliamsMicrosoftVictoria StreetLondon10 yearsGot two calls within 5 minutes from the same number, but when I picked up, no one said a word and then they just ended the call.10 yearsGot a call showing "INTERNET UNAVAILABLE" on the screen, I picked it up but there was nothing on the other end. As soon as I said hello, the call ended immediately. When I looked up the number, BT had it down as 001226490001.BT10 yearsThis number kept calling me three times and the caller was so rude when I said I didn’t need any help with my computer. It was a guy with an Asian accent and he even asked if I was some kind of computer expert. Then he phoned again and the last time he spoke to my partner, threatening to shut our account down by morning. I was shocked at how nasty he sounded!10 yearsThey've rung me up like three times over the past couple days, each time with a different story - first it was about my laptop, then my internet security, and once about my internet connection. Whenever I wasn't buying their spiel, they just hung up. They even got a bit nasty once. Honestly, these folks are terrible - best steer clear. Since they've kept calling over and over, I'd say it's borderline harassment too.10 yearsAvoid these people at all costs, they’re nothing but trouble and completely toxic. Definitely not worth your time.10 yearsHad about a dozen calls last weekend and a couple more this morning. Thankfully, I installed BT CALL GUARDIAN ages ago, and it’s seriously the smartest move I made. I keep a second phone connected so I can see who’s calling me, but the calls only ring once unless they tell me exactly who they are and I decide to pick up. This way, I don’t have to deal with all those dodgy scam calls constantly ringing through.10 yearsGot called by a bloke with an Indian accent, sounded like his name was Ethan or something. I told him straight up this number’s on the TPS list and he got all sarky, going “Do I care?” Then he said some rubbish about being a woman who chatters too much. He then handed the phone to his mate, who just shouted a rude word and hung up on me. Proper disrespectful, and seems like he reckons women are beneath him or something. Bloody cheeky!Preference Service10 yearsGot a call around 8:30 this morning from a guy with an Asian accent who said his name was David. He claimed there was an issue with my internet. I decided to mess with him and kept him talking for ages, leading him nowhere. After a while, he asked what the screen was showing, and I just told him, "How do you sleep at night?" before hanging up. Honestly, I think the authorities need to crack down on these types more, as this is probably one way terrorists fund themselves.DavidAsia10 yearsThey kept ringing us non-stop around half past twelve lunchtime, about five times in a row, which just kept our phone tied up. I kept telling the caller to stop bothering us, but an Indian guy snapped back, “I don’t care! It’s midnight where I am and I can keep this going for ages.” I just gave up trying to talk to him and left the handset next to the radio playing Radio 4. After maybe five minutes, they finally let the line go free.IndiaRadio 410 yearsGot two calls today, both from Asian guys. The first bloke was proper rude, saying I hadn’t paid my internet bill and threatened to cut me off. He started throwing insults right away, which was pretty shocking. I told him he was being unprofessional, honestly felt like a joke. Then about 7 hours later, another guy called saying he was going to shut down my computer. I told him it was a dodgy call and just hung up. So if another Asian call comes through, I’m just ignoring it completely now. Not interested in chatting at all.10 yearsGot two calls from the same number today. First one said there was something wrong with my Windows laptop. I said I don’t own a laptop at all and then they just hung up on me. The second call was just silence, no one speaking, but it was from that same number. I thought these kinda scams stopped a while ago, but guess not!10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft, sounded like a total scam. Added the number to my blocked list so next time I won't be fooled.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from some bloke pretending to be from 'Windows Support' - all the while using a name that sounded way too English to be genuine. We’d already put ourselves on the do-not-call list here in the UK ages back. Funny thing is, now these con artists are trying their luck from the States. We might be pushing 60, but we're no mugs!UKAmerica10 yearsHonestly, it feels like BT and Ofcom aren’t really cracking down hard enough on these scams. They should be doing way more to stop it.OfcomBT10 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, said they were from Microsoft tech support. Honestly, just ignore it, it’s a waste of time.Microsoft10 yearsGot a phone call from some Indian bloke trying to con me. Hung on for a bit, just messing around until I lost interest, then told ‘Dave’ off. These scammers really need to be stopped.IndiaDave10 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with Windows support. We talked for a little while, and the person got quite pushy. When I mentioned I was using a Mac, they just ended the call straight away.10 yearsI got called by someone claiming to be from Microsoft, just minutes after another call that didn’t leave a number. This one was pretty pushy, saying my PC was full of malware and even called me clueless about computers. I asked them to prove they knew my name or anything about me but they just kept saying my computer was at risk and they had lots of alerts. Don’t give them any info, just end the call immediately, it’s definitely a scam.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from these lot earlier today. I played along for a bit then told the bloke I reckoned he’d messed up my computer because it stopped working after our chat, so I asked for his full name - he said David Williams. I wasn’t having any of it and told him I’d be reporting him before slamming the phone down. Not long after, another fella rings saying he’s David’s manager and warns me that my computer might have been used for dodgy stuff. These calls drive me nuts but sometimes winding them up feels good. So I said if that’s true I’d be straight off to the police. Then he tries to say if I did that I’d be blamed for any crime, and that’s when I lost it a bit, shouted back, and hung up. It really pisses me off that they get away with this - surely some people must fall for it or they wouldn’t keep calling, right?David WilliamsDavid10 yearsOur brilliant new BT phone has been stopping these calls dead in their tracks. It's been a real lifesaver since we often get loads of annoying calls from dawn to dusk. They try to pass themselves off as your Internet supplier, but be careful, they’re definitely not!BT10 yearsGot a phonecall today from some bloke claiming to be from Windows support. Total con job just trying to sneak into your computer and nick your personal stuff. Whatever you do, don’t let them anywhere near your PC. If you want, drag them out, have a giggle messing with them a bit. Then maybe let loose a rude word or blow a whistle and hang up sharpish. They always speak with an Asian accent and go by very English sounding names. The worst part is they keep ringing back nonstop. I've had more than twenty calls like this now! Going to set up a call blocker and put myself on the do not call list, it’s driving me mad. Stay safe everyone, jc.10 yearsYesterday, this number popped up on my phone. Got me well annoyed since I had the same thing happen the day before but without any caller ID. The bloke claimed he was from Microsoft - sounded like he had an Asian accent. Told him straight up I’m fed up with time-wasting scams and just hung up. The day before that, the caller sounded female and African. Today, the same number rang again but I saw it and just ignored it.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from a guy with a strong Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. I quickly realised it was a scam and told him to get lost. I'm gonna report this to the police and all the proper authorities so they can put a stop to these dodgy calls once and for all.Microsoft10 yearsAbsolute scam! Honestly, tell them to buzz off immediately. It's quite worrying that folks are still getting caught out by this rubbish.10 yearsGot a call this morning, not once but three times, from some bloke with a foreign accent claiming to be from "Microsoft technical support." We’re on the TPS list and seriously, I’m fed up with it.MicrosoftTelephone Preference Service10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Windows tech support trying to sort out my PC. I just told them to find real work and left the phone by the side until they hung up.10 yearsThese cheats are at it once more! Seriously, it’s high time these scumbags got what they deserve, enough is enough.10 yearsGot loads of calls from someone called 'Max Jerry' who had a thick Indian accent. Said he was from some Online Technical Services and claimed to be linked to Microsoft. Told me my computer had some nasty viruses and needed fixing asap. Wanted me to install remote access software so he could 'sort' it out. Pretty clear it was just a scam trying to borrow my trust.Max JerryOnline Technical ServicesMicrosoft10 yearsAvoid giving any details to these people, they say they’re from tech support but it’s just a scam. Just tell them you don’t have a computer or internet, and hang up.10 yearsThis number called me again today. The person on the other end had a foreign accent and was blaming it on a computer glitch. Getting rude with them didn’t do any good, so I just left the call unanswered for a while.10 yearsGot a call from some computer guy, and after a bit of me asking if his mum would be proud of him scamming folks daily, he just ended the call on me. Guess he wasn’t into those questions!10 yearsThis morning, my wife got a call from this number saying our computer had some kind of problem and that they needed access to sort it out. She ended up speaking with the person for quite a while but didn’t share any details. After a bit, she told them to leave us alone and hung up. Does anyone know if I can report this number somewhere, or is the best thing just to ignore and hang up next time?10 yearsGot a ring from this number, sounded alright at first. The bloke said he was ringing about my computer, but I reckoned it was probably some kind of scam. So I just told him I don’t own one (which isn’t true) and said I’ve got caller preference set up. Then I just hung up.10 yearsGot a call from some Asian bloke claiming there was something wrong with my computer, I just told him to get lost. Had enough of these annoying prank calls.Asia10 yearsGot a call from this number around half past seven this morning - absolute nerve! I was trying to enjoy a rare lie-in on a Saturday (landline's downstairs, so takes me a minute to get there) but they’d already hung up by the time I answered. These kinds of calls are happening way too often now. It's just plain harassment. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, but I guess some folks still get caught out or they’d stop doing it, right? Honestly, if there’s a way to block these annoying calls, I’m all for it.10 yearsToday I got a call from someone claiming to be from the 'Windows service centre'. He said his name was Mike Young, but his accent was clearly Asian. He told me there was an issue with my computer. I told him I wasn’t home right then and asked for his phone number so I could call back. He gave me 02031291406. I’m definitely not planning to ring that number again.WindowsMike Young10 yearsThis week, I've gotten a couple of calls from this number. The person on the other end had an Asian accent and claimed to be from Windows, saying my PC was infected with a virus. I quickly told them to buzz off since it was obviously a scam.10 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from Windows saying my computer was at risk. I've had plenty of calls like this before, so I just ended the call straight away without saying anything.10 yearsI've gotten calls from this number myself but never picked up. When I checked the number through a reverse lookup, it said it was based in Mount Brydges, Ontario, Canada. Honestly, I’d say best to just ignore it.Mount BrydgesOntarioCanada10 yearsI just got a call from 001226490001. The guy on the line said his name was Jonathan and had a kinda Asian accent. He claimed he was from Windows and told me my PC was infected with a virus. I told him that was rubbish and called him out for trying to con me. He insisted that he was the expert and that I didn't know what I was talking about. Again, I called him a scammer. Then he got mad and said he’d shut down my computer, asking if I wanted him to do it. I said sure, go ahead. You could tell he wasn’t expecting that reply - he just said “oh” and hung up straight away.JonathanWindows10 yearsSo today this caller rang my mum, who’s quite old, pretending to be from BT about some changes to her landline fees. Thing is, mum isn’t even with BT! They even got her postcode wrong and asked if her bank card number began with a 4? Luckily, she realised something was off and ended the call straight away!BT10 yearsGot a right earful of abuse from some irate guy, sounded Asian, when I said I wasn’t using a Microsoft Windows PC. He reckoned I was fibbing and threatened to call every single day if I didn’t play ball. I’ve passed the number on to the cops and BT, though doubt they’ll bother doing much. Seriously, avoid answering if this number pops up!10 yearsToday I got a call from someone threatening me with jail time if I didn’t comply with their demands. I just found it hilarious and hung up straight away.10 yearsYesterday I got a call from a bloke speaking with an Asian accent, claiming to be from Windows Tech Support. I told him I don’t handle stuff over the phone, and he just lost it, shouting I wasn’t a technician and getting really nasty. He kept saying if I hung up, he’d keep calling non-stop until I gave in. So, I ended the call, but the ringing didn’t stop for like 30 minutes straight. Since then, they've called a few more times today as well.10 yearsYesterday, I got a call from someone who sounded Asian and claimed they were from Windows tech support. I told him I don’t handle stuff over the phone and that seemed to really annoy him. He started shouting, saying I wasn’t a real technician and kept threatening that he’d keep calling me non-stop if I didn’t 'cooperate'. I just hung up, but he kept ringing me for more than half an hour straight. They've been at it again several times today too.10 yearsI got a call on my landline from someone claiming there was an issue with my email. I just told them to buzz off!10 yearsI've gotten two calls from this number today and honestly, I wish there was an easy way to block them.10 yearsMy phone shows me who's calling, and I usually just let it ring if it's someone unfamiliar. If it's important, they’ll probably leave a voicemail anyway. Do you know if there’s any kind of info guide out there for older people or those who might be more at risk, warning them about these sorts of calls?10 yearsI’m from the UK and received a call from someone who sounded like they were either Indian or Pakistani. Initially, they were quite courteous, but when I requested that they remove my number from their database, their tone changed. He claimed it wasn’t possible to do so, which prompted me to hang up. To my annoyance, he rang me straight back, so I informed him that I’d be lodging a complaint. He insisted I needed to converse with him, otherwise he would continue to call. He did attempt to reach me one final time, but I decided it was best not to respond.UK10 yearsThey phoned me twice on consecutive days, both times before 9.30 in the morning, which I told them is actually against the rules for cold calls.10 yearsKeep them on the line as long as you can, but NEVER let them get into your computer. These callers usually have strong Indian accents and use suspicious, made-up English names. They’re running the classic fake Windows CLS-ID scam. Just so you know, most Windows machines today share the same CLSID number, so the number they mention isn’t some special one for your computer. The last part of the CLSID code is: 00C04FD7D062 If you want to check it out for yourself, here’s a good article about it: http://www.welivesecurity.com/2011/07/19/support-desk-scams-clsid-not-unique/ Seriously, don’t let these scammers anywhere near your PC!10 yearsThese so-called Microsoft support callers are ridiculous. I usually tell them their mums must be really disappointed with their job choices, then just put the phone down and wait for them to hang up first.Microsoft10 yearsSame here... I hung up and they called straight back. Has happened to me more than once.10 yearsThey kept calling me over 20 times in just an hour and a half, saying there were error messages popping up on my PC. Totally a scam, they weren’t gonna stop anytime soon.10 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from Windows saying my computer had issues. I told him I don’t even own a Windows laptop, but he insisted I do. Dunno how he could know that? When I was having a hard time catching what he was saying, he cheekily told me maybe my hearing was the problem!10 yearsSome bloke rang me claiming to be from Windows support, said my computer had issues. He sounded like he might be from somewhere in Asia and was really cheeky, calling me by my last name without even a "Mr" in front. Then he went as far as saying I had "no brains". I just ended the call straight away. Not long after, he or someone else from the same place gave me another ring. I found this out by checking the number they called from. Pretty sure it’s one of those dodgy scam calls.10 yearsTotal scam, just put the phone down immediately!10 yearsEvery few days, I get these calls and as soon as I pick up, they just hang up. Same pattern all the time.10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Windows, said there was a problem with my computer. When I told them it sounded like a scam, they started being really rude.10 yearsToday, my elderly dad, who’s 86 and doesn’t own a computer, got a really worrying call. The person on the line claimed they knew there was a computer at his home, which understandably scared him a lot. I was visiting and using my iPad with mobile data, but that wasn't even turned on. The frustrating bit is, the call came from a number that’s not based in the UK, so who’s meant to report this to? It’s all a bit confusing.UK10 yearsSomeone called saying there was an issue with my computer, something about Windows, but it was all just rubbish.10 yearsI've had loads of calls from this number, and every time I pick up, they're really rude and keep calling again and again. It's getting pretty annoying.10 yearsThis number has called me multiple times. The caller, speaking with an Asian accent, says there’s some sort of error showing up on our computers. When my son challenged him, the bloke got aggressive and started threatening us, saying something about a countdown starting. It’s really annoying and stressful. Definitely a scam, so watch out for these creeps. Wish there was a way to put a stop to these time-wasters.10 yearsI keep getting calls from this number about issues with my computer windows. Today, a bloke calling himself Mike rang me, and when I questioned him, he claimed to be the principal or something and started threatening to make our lives miserable, saying some kind of countdown had started. He was really unpleasant. I don’t get how these folks manage to get hold of private numbers and harass people like this. Something needs to be done about it properly.Mike10 yearsAfter a bit of silence, the call abruptly ended. I think they called before claiming they were from Microsoft.Microsoft10 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to be from the Windows support team. It’s definitely a scam trying to mess with your PC. Don’t even bother, just drop the call right away!10 yearsGot a call earlier on 19/7/2016 from someone claiming to be with Windows, saying my PC was under attack. What a load of rubbish, these scammers are just out to trick you!10 yearsSome bloke called saying there was suspicious stuff going on with my PC, sounded dodgy.10 yearsI answered and they claimed my computer was infected with a virus. I quickly figured out it was a scam and left them waiting on the line for about 10 minutes before hanging up. Then they rang me back and started being rude. Total scam artists!10 yearsJust like others have said, this bloke said he was from Windows but then quickly ended the call when I asked him to give me his phone number. Definitely a total scam.10 yearsGot a call from a guy with a really thick accent claiming he worked for Microsoft - total scam, watch out!Microsoft10 yearsThe moment the guy with an Asian accent claimed he was calling from Microsoft, I just ended the call straight away. I’m well aware it’s just another scam.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from a guy with a heavy accent claiming to be from Microsoft - definitely a dodgy scam!Microsoft10 yearsThis number called me again, total pain! I’m convinced it’s some kind of scam and honestly, it should be shut down immediately. Really annoying!10 yearsI've been getting loads of calls with no one speaking, it's super frustrating. Wish there was a way to block them on this setup but it's not possible.10 yearsThis number keeps ringing my home phone over and over again which is really annoying. When I finally spoke to the person calling, I asked them where they got my number from but they wouldn’t say. Someone really should look into this and have this line shut off.10 yearsWatch out, everyone! This is totally a scam, don’t even bother talking to them.10 yearsI get calls nearly every week, usually around lunchtime. But the moment I answer, the line just drops and goes silent.10 yearsLoads of folks have flagged this number but still no action taken.10 yearsNumber 00122649000 claims to be from the 1Windows PC support, but watch out, this is definitely a scam. Don’t fall for it, folks!10 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying my Windows PC had some kind of issue and I had to switch it on so they could fix it. I asked to speak to a supervisor or for her to stop calling, but she said all supervisors were tied up and then just cut the call off. She was pretty insistent, which is sadly why some folks end up getting fooled by this. I don’t even have a Windows computer! I left the phone hanging up for a while to annoy her if she tried ringing back. We need to do whatever we can to rattle these scammers!11 yearsGot called a couple of times by an Asian guy, and after I ended the call, he rang me right back claiming he was from Microsoft or something. He started threatening that my computer was showing error messages and that he’d block it, locking me out completely. Honestly, how do these people even get hold of my home number? It’s really scary getting calls like this. They really ought to be stopped from doing this.11 yearsHad a right laugh with this dodgy bloke claiming he was from Microsoft, sounded like a right scammer with a dodgy accent. Played him for a bit then just dropped the call. No sooner had I done that, he calls back all upset that I’d cut him off and starts banging on about cancelling my Windows licence. Decided to mess about and then hung up again. He rang back a good four times, getting rowdier each go. Last time though, I just put the phone next to my stereo blasting Motorhead at full blast.

Just a few days after my mum passed away, I got a call around 8:40 from a woman with an Indian accent doing a survey.
