11 yearsThey’re still making calls, definitely a scam.11 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Indian accent, saying she could fix my computer issues. Next time that number pops up, I'll just blow a whistle!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 got a ring from a guy who sounded Indian, saying my computer was infected or some nonsense. When I tried to get any real details, he kept dodging the questions and just kept repeating that my Windows PC had a virus. I told him straight I don’t use Windows or Apple at all, and then he just ended the call.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 getting calls here in Shropshire (13/08/15). This week, they’ve rung me twice! I told the guy he’d reached West Mercia Police HQ, then the phone just went dead... Pretty odd really.ShropshireWest Mercia Police HQ11 yearsI picked up the phone but there was nothing but silence, had to wait quite a bit before the line finally came back.11 yearsI reckon this number belongs to some scam artists, probably from India or somewhere in Asia. They ring you up and claim your computer is full of viruses and problems. At first, they ask loads of questions about your setup to sound genuine, but soon enough, they start demanding sensitive info like bank account numbers and passwords. That’s when you realise it's all a con. If you play along, you could end up giving them access to your PC, so best just cut the call immediately.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 yearsGot a call today from a bloke named David, sounded like he had an Indian accent. He was saying my computer was full of viruses. When I asked him where he found my number, I mentioned I don't even own a computer. Then he went on saying why I was fibbing, so I just played along and said I did!David11 yearsI’ve gotten calls from this number a few times but whenever I pick up, no one says anything. Really don’t understand why they keep ringing 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 yearsGot this annoying call out of the blue and it was just a total bother.11 yearsI got a call around 1:30 pm on August 12th, 2015. There was this woman who my mum couldn't make head nor tail of! Honestly, if you're going to call, speak proper English, it's not that hard. Bloody annoying.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)
