01235884270 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01235884270 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance call linked to a likely scam, often impersonating Microsoft or suggesting computer security issues. Callers frequently display an Indian accent, use echoey lines, and are abrupt or hang up when questioned. Allegedly originating outside the UK, the number is suspected of being spoofed and unallocated by OFCOM. Targets have included UK residents and even people abroad, with no voicemail left despite repeated attempts. The calls aim to alarm recipients into granting remote access or divulging personal information. Trading standards and police appear limited in intervention due to cross-border and cost challenges. Recipients are advised to exercise caution, avoid engaging, and report suspicious calls to relevant authorities promptly.

It seems that we've caught the attention of a certain group (26/06). We reached out to inquire about their whereabouts and were told they were in Newquay. However, when we asked for a contact number to get back in touch, we were provided with a Manchester one! As soon as we mentioned this discrepancy, they abruptly hung up. Unfortunately, we haven’t received any further calls from that number, but others seem to have taken its spot. As previously noted regarding another number, both the police and trading standards appear to be somewhat ineffectual due to financial constraints.

Received a call from the very same number earlier today, Wednesday 15th, around 5 PM. The line was quite poor, and there was a chap on the other end. He claimed that someone was trying to hack into our computer and asked if we were sitting right in front of it. We were already clued in about this being a scam, seeing as we've been warned about such phone scams during one of our computer classes. Is there any way to flag this incident or report them?

Received a call on our mobile at half past two in the afternoon on the 27th of June, 2011. Unfortunately, as I was behind the wheel, I couldn’t pick up. They didn’t leave any message on the voicemail, and when I tried ringing back on my mobile, it just wouldn’t connect. I even gave it a go on the landline, but it seems to be constantly engaged. What a hassle!

I received a call from this number around 5 in the afternoon on the 15th of June. The person on the other end lingered for a couple of seconds and then abruptly hung up. Just half a minute later, my phone rang again from the same number. Once more, they seemed to be waiting for us to pick up before cutting the call. Quite odd behaviour, if you ask me!

Received a call from this lass earlier on today. The moment we asked her where she was calling from, she cut us off sharpish. Quite vexing, I must say!

I’ve received a fair few calls from this number, and every time I pick up, they hang up as soon as the voicemail kicks in. Quite baffling, really!

I received a call on my landline at 13:16, but there was nobody on the line. After a brief pause, they just hung up. It was rather peculiar!

Received a rather alarming phone call claiming that our computer had been hacked. The callers were completely unaware that we actually work in IT consultancy and knew right away it was a scam. Just a word of caution: these con artists are out to deceive. An Indian woman abruptly hung up as soon as she sensed we were going to gather her details and report the incident. Stay alert, everyone!

We're residing in Canada, and I'm experiencing the very same predicament with this robotic voice that keeps calling and saying “Goodbye.” It’s relentless, ringing us up to four times a day, both during the day and late at night! We even had someone from California reach out, claiming to be from Microsoft. We told them we don’t own a computer, and they promptly hung up on us. It's quite the nuisance!

There seemed to be little benefit in raising a fuss over this particular matter since the Caller ID was clearly manipulated. We've checked with OFCOM and discovered that this number isn't even assigned to anyone. It's likely that the call was coming from outside the UK. These sorts of scams are notoriously hard to combat. Just for your information, we manage scam reports at a telecommunications company.

A caller with a noticeable Indian accent rang, but the number didn’t show up on our screen. There was quite a bit of echo on the line as she insisted she needed to have a word with my husband regarding the Windows on our computer. Strangely, she was familiar with our last name. We asked her to call back later and hung up. If they ring again this evening, we'll make sure to keep them chatting for a bit and try to gather some details about their company. It seems like their intentions are a bit dodgy, so I doubt they’ll call back or provide any information. Regardless, we intend to report them once more.

On the 22nd of June, 2011, we received a call from the number 01235884270. An individual, who sounded Indian, claimed to be contacting us on behalf of Microsoft from California. To our surprise, he already had our name and address. He went on about some mysterious attempt to breach our computer security and insisted we log out immediately so he could guide us on how to resolve the issue. However, the conversation took a turn when we started asking questions; he abruptly hung up on us without a word. Quite suspicious if you ask me!

On the 22nd of June, 2011, we received a call from the number 01235884270. An Indian gentleman claimed he was calling on behalf of Microsoft based in California. Strangely, he knew our name and address. He insisted we log out of our computer, promising to guide us through some sort of troubleshooting to resolve an issue. However, the moment we started to ask him some questions, he abruptly hung up. Quite the odd encounter!

Received a call from this number earlier today while I was out. They didn't leave a message, but I saw the number on 1471. Appreciate the heads-up!

Have a gander at this! Yet another call we received for our mum up in North Wales. We reckon it was all a bit dodgy and linked to some sort of spam chatter. But then again, it happened yet again...
