001268776614 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 001268776614 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call frequently linked to fraudulent tech support, often claiming to be from Microsoft or related companies. Callers typically remain silent initially or use vague, scripted statements about computer viruses, attempting to manipulate recipients into granting remote access or running suspicious programs. The calls often originate from overseas call centres and may come at inconvenient times, including early mornings. Many users report multiple calls over consecutive days, causing distress, especially among vulnerable individuals. The number is widely recognised as illegitimate, with recipients advised to block it promptly. There is a strong recommendation for telephone providers and regulators to implement effective blocking measures to prevent such nuisance calls, as current technology could enable filtering these out before reaching consumers.

Keep getting calls from some call centre claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows support. Total scam! If you want to block all of these for good, check out [spam website]/register.html. It’s the only way to be sure you won’t get bothered again.

This number rang me up around 7:50 this morning. I missed answering it, but seeing the 001 country code, I reckon it must be from Canada.

I just got a phone call where we could hear people in what sounded like a call centre, but when I answered with a “Hello,” there was no response at all. This has happened to me quite a few times lately. I really don’t get why the phone companies can’t block these calls from reaching us here in the UK, especially if Ofcom gave the go-ahead. With the tech that’s around now, it’s surely possible to stop them before they ring through.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with "The Computer Company" - really not even bothering to sound legit anymore. When I refused to play along, the bloke got all agressive and I just ended the call. Total scam.

This number rang me earlier, so I looked it up on Google to figure out who it might be. Found loads of other folks sharing their experiences on this site. Since my phone stops most spam calls anyway, I went ahead and blocked this number for good. Hopefully, they won’t be bothering me ever again now.

Got a call first thing in the morning claiming my laptop was under attack. When I asked why such an early call, they just said it was urgent. Seemed dodgy to me.

For the past four days, I’ve been getting calls from this number up to four times daily. It’s really annoying. Sometimes they ring really early in the morning, which is pretty unsettling, especially when you’re on your own.

I received a call earlier this morning at precisely 10:40, as I was under the impression it might be an international call, I decided to answer it... but there was nothing but silence on the line, so I hung up. Almost immediately afterwards, I got another call from 01564 25494 - I noticed it was one digit short of the usual numbers. This isn't the first time I've received dodgy calls that seem to come from UK numbers but are invalid, consistently having one digit missing. I always make a point to check the number that comes through, and now the rest of my family is well aware to disregard any calls that are just five digits long following the area code. I'm inclined to think there's a connection between these calls; perhaps they used the international number to check if someone was home. Otherwise, this is quite the strange coincidence!

I keep getting calls where they just stay silent when I pick up, then they hang up straight away. This has been happening so often now, and honestly, I'm getting really fed up with these idiots from India.

Received a call at precisely 9:50 AM today from someone wanting to chat with a rather uninterested Mrs...... He mentioned something about a commuter being unwell with a virus. When I requested to speak to his supervisor, he had the audacity to say I’d need to hang on for a bit. Well, I certainly didn’t!

001268776614 - Typical call from a chappy in an Indian call centre, claiming to be from Microsoft and insisting that my computer is riddled with viruses. This one was going by the name "Peter". Quite the predictable scam, really!

I got a call from this number and at first there was nothing but silence, just like others have said. Then a person with an Indian accent started speaking, but I could barely make out what they were saying because it was so hard to understand. There was some kind of voice in the background giving instructions too. They claimed my computer had a virus and told me to open something from the run command on my laptop, saying it was important to fix it.

They claimed to be from Microsoft Windows when I asked which company they represented. I mentioned I was using a Mac, but they just kept going, very quick with excuses when I questioned them. When I requested a reference, they gave me some bizarre number like "www634312186". I also asked for the official UK Windows helpline, and they said it was 0808 2342319. I played along for a while just to see how far they’d go, but eventually told them it was obviously a scam. They denied it at first, but as soon as I threatened to call the police and report the call, they just hung up on me.

I got a call at 7:58 in the morning and they kept going on about my computer, calling me two more times after that. Can't believe they bothered me three times in a row!

I got a call at half past seven this morning, which was weird since I’ve never given my number out to anyone. I mostly just use my phone for internet stuff, so whenever it rings, I tend to answer with a few choice words.

Got a call at about 7:27 this morning, lucky we were awake. The moment the answerphone picked up, the person on the end hung up straightaway. Pretty sure it was some kind of scam.

Got a call first thing in the morning. There was silence for a bit, which felt suspicious. Then, a man with a strong foreign accent wanted to verify my name. I didn’t give it and asked what he wanted instead. Unlike those typical scams about my PC being infected, he just kept telling me to turn on my computer over and over. When I stayed quiet, he just ended the call. Total scam, I reckon.
