11 yearsThey keep phoning folks, total scammers, if you ask me!11 yearsA lady with an Indian accent just called, offering assistance with my computer issues. I've got a whistle ready for the next time this number pops up!11 yearsGot a call from a guy speaking with an Asian accent who already knew my name. He claimed there was something wrong with my computer and that’s why he was ringing. I told him I wasn’t interested and just hung up. It’s a bit worrying how they must’ve gotten my details since I’m ex-directory and signed up to avoid nuisance calls! I looked up the number on 1471 and it showed as 01208871197. Looks like plenty of others have had this issue too.11 yearsThis morning, I received a rather curious phone call from a gentleman with an unmistakable Indian accent. He was adamant that my computer was compromised in some way. Naturally, I pressed him for further details, but he was quite vague, merely repeating that there was a virus on my Windows machine. When I clarified that I actually don’t use Windows or any Apple products, he abruptly ended the call. Quite the cheeky chap, wasn’t he?Apple11 yearsLike a few others have said, I got a call from 01208871197 on Thursday the 13th at 12:10. The connection was really bad and the call just dropped. When I tried ringing back, the number wasn't recognised. The voice sounded like an Indian or Asian bloke, but I couldn’t really catch what he was saying. I reckon these might be calls made using Skype or some other service that link through to random UK numbers. The call was coming through a Bodmin area code - definitely looks like some kind of scam to me.SkypeUKBodmin11 yearsStill active in Shropshire as of 13th August 2015! They’ve tried to call my number twice this week. I had a bit of fun and told them they had reached the West Mercia Police HQ. The call ended abruptly right after that... Quite peculiar, isn’t it?ShropshireWest Mercia Police HQ11 yearsPicked up the call, but it was utterly silent on the other end. It took me a good while to regain the connection.11 yearsI’ve come across this number and it seems to be linked to scammers, likely from India or somewhere similar. They’ll ring you up claiming that your computer is riddled with all sorts of nasty viruses. It’s all very convincing at first as they ask about your system setup, making it sound as if they’re genuinely trying to help. But before you know it, they’ll start probing for your bank details and passwords, which is when it becomes clear that they’re up to no good. If you engage with them, you risk giving them access to your computer, so it’s best just to end the call straight away. Stay safe!India11 yearsToday at about 12:23 I got a call from a woman who sounded like she was Indian. She said her name was Gwen and somehow knew my name, then went on about some problem with my computer. I just ended the call straight away! I usually don't pick up numbers I don't recognise, but I couldn't see the screen properly without my glasses, haha. Honestly, what's the use of the TPS list if calls like this keep happening?GwenTPS11 yearsReceived a call today from a chap named David, who had quite a strong Indian accent. He was going on about how my computer was apparently infested with viruses. When I inquired how he obtained my number and mentioned that I actually don’t possess a computer, he seemed taken aback and accused me of fibbing about it! Quite the cheeky conversation, to say the least!David11 yearsI've received calls from this number multiple times, but each time there’s silence on the other end. It's rather puzzling! Why on earth do they keep attempting to contact me?11 yearsJust got a call from some guy who claimed i’d reached out to him about my laptop acting up. Thing is, he said good morning but it was clearly afternoon here. I told him i didn’t want anything to do with it and he started yelling, so i yelled back and slammed the phone down. Seriously, what’s wrong with these people?11 yearsi got a call from someone named ‘rose’ saying she wanted to chat about my computer. that was all i heard before i just ended the call!Rose11 yearsI've been receiving incessant nuisance calls that are absolutely unwelcome.11 yearsReceived a call at half past one on the 12th of August, 2015. A woman was on the line, but my mum couldn’t make head or tail of what she was saying! For goodness’ sake, could you not at least speak in proper English? It’s infuriating!11 yearsHow could you! We certainly aren't a scam and your device is likely to encounter issues due to your silly assumptions.11 yearsWe had a conversation that was strikingly similar to the one we had earlier today, on the 13th of August, 2015.11 yearsI missed a call earlier, and unsurprisingly, there was no message left on our answering machine. It feels rather like it's those pesky fraudsters up to their old tricks once more.Submit Your Own Report (01208 871197)
