01264319902

This number has popped up once more, didn't pick up - caller claimed to be from Andover again (today - 4/03/2026).

Got a call earlier from someone claiming to be Virgin Media but sounded totally dodgy. Felt like a scam, so I didn't trust it at all. Made me wonder how many folks fall for this kinda thing. Stay careful everyone!

Got a call from 01264 319902 on 16 Nov 2022 but there was no voicemail or anything left behind.

As soon as I answered the phone, the call from 01264319902 just dropped instantly. Another annoying telemarketer, ugh!

Got a call from them again this morning, 16th Nov 22. I just let it ring out. If you do end up picking up, pretend you’re clueless - tell them you’ve no idea what broadband even means and that you don’t own a computer or fancy getting one!

I received a phone call from a woman with a thick foreign accent claiming to be from Microsoft. It was actually the second time they’d called me today! When she asked for my name, I mentioned that I had no idea who it was since the caller hung up once I revealed that I didn’t own a computer. Clearly a scam - how cheeky!

Claiming to be from Microsoft, this is nothing short of a total con!

The call disconnected as soon as I picked up.

I received a call from an Asian gentleman claiming to be from Microsoft. He had an anglicised name and there was a lot of crackling noise in the background. I eventually told him to quit wasting my time and ended the call myself. Now I'm letting my answerphone take over!

I received a call from a chap who identified himself as being from Virgin, saying there were issues with my internet. I didn’t mince my words and clearly told him where to shove it before ending the call.

On the 16th of November 2022, at precisely 11:35 AM, I received a pair of back-to-back calls, one from Andover and the other from Tunbridge Wells. It had been ages since I received any unsolicited calls-I'd almost convinced myself they'd ceased altogether! The initial call cut off as soon as I picked up, while the second one just chimed twice before going silent. Quite peculiar, isn’t it?

Received a call on the 14th of November, 2022. The person on the line spoke with an Asian accent, and I managed to grasp the conversation. However, the call was cut short after a mere 20 seconds.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Openreach and wanted to discuss my internet, but they just ended the call.

They keep ringing time and again, insisting that they're from Microsoft, but I highly doubt their authenticity.

Someone claimed to be from BT tech support but just ended the call abruptly.

Got a call but nobody spoke on the other end, just silence.

I just picked up the phone and suddenly they had already gone, didn’t get to say anything.

A chap with an accent from overseas rang me up, claiming to be from Microsoft and insisting there was a problem with my account. Curious, I requested his UIN, and he provided MSUKV11518. Intrigued, I fired off a couple of questions - first, what the supposed issue was with my account, and second, why on earth he required my IP address. Without so much as a word, he abruptly ended the call. It's clearly a scammer, so make sure to block, delete, and report. Whatever you do, steer clear of sharing any personal information!

Got a call at around 10 in the morning, and the person said good evening to me, then started telling me there was something wrong with my computer. I told them it was morning, not evening, and they replied that maybe my hearing was the issue! Such a cheeky and impolite attitude. I've got no issues with my PC or my ears. Ended the call straight away.

Got a call from 01264319902 just yesterday, a lady said she was with Sky. I told her to take me off their mailing list, then she suddenly ended the call. Now today, this same number's called me twice, but when I picked up, there was no one there and they just hung up. Proper odd behaviour.

I just had a call from an Asian woman insisting that my internet connection was somehow compromised. The line was crackly, and it sounded like she was in a bustling place. I didn't hesitate to tell her she was a con artist and ought to feel embarrassed about her deceitful tactics before I ended the call.

The moment my answering machine began its greeting, the caller abruptly disconnected. I've a firm policy against answering calls from numbers I don't recognise. My message on the answering machine clearly requests, “Please do leave a message instead of hanging up,” which leads me to believe that those who choose not to are usually up to no good. Perusing the remarks on this site, it seems quite apparent that these calls originate from a range of compromised services like BT, Virgin, or other ISPs, and notably, the individuals on the other end of the line often have Asian origins yet use names that sound English, such as “Rosie”. Several users have mentioned that these callers have claimed their computers are under attack, threatening to block access unless they comply. However, after dismissing these callers, my machine has remained perfectly intact-no issues whatsoever. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out a way to block this number on my BT landline, so I’ll stick to my usual strategy of letting the answering machine filter out these tedious interruptions.

Called at 14:02 on the 15th of November. Did a quick Google search during the ring which pointed to Andover. Honestly, what reason would I have to pick up for a number linked to a place where I don't know a soul? The voicemail kicked in and they promptly ended the call-definitely a scam!

Just to add a little extra to my previous rant, while I was taking care of my folks for a few weeks, they were inundated with endless cold calls originating from Andover numbers. Two of these calls were from firms hawking a “block all cold calls” service for a staggering £75 a year. My dad ended up signing on with one of them, while my mum fell for the other. Then I came into the picture and answered one of those calls, where the caller boldly claimed that my parents owed them two years' worth of payments for their so-called “service.” I explained that my parents had been hit with upwards of ten cold calls a day, rendering their “service” utterly ludicrous. I made it very clear that they wouldn’t be seeing a penny from my parents and suggested they kindly do one or I'd take steps to report them and possibly pursue legal action for the £150 they'd already scammed from my parents. Fortunately, I never heard back from them. It’s a mystery whether these Andover numbers genuinely link back to businesses in Andover, or if these unscrupulous scammers buy up the numbers to falsely enhance their legitimacy in the UK. The individuals I spoke with on the phone had British accents, but this particular Andover line (Virgin, BT, Microsoft, etc.) seems to be run out of Asia, or at least employs workers predominantly from that region to perpetrate this ruse. If anyone is wary, just remember that Microsoft couldn’t care less about whether your Windows PC is functioning, nor would they ever ring you up to warn of an impending “block.” It’s all complete tosh - right along with Virgin, BT, and all the rest of those names they claim to be affiliated with.

Surely you're aware that a call regarding issues with your internet speed is rather unlikely, aren't you?

Got a call last week from someone saying they were Virgin Media, voice sounded Indian and the background was really noisy like a call centre. I just hung up without saying anything. Then today they rang back but it was dead silent, so I answered and they just cut off straight away. I reckon their system flags the number as valid when you pick up, so I’m bracing myself for them to try again soon!

I just saw I had a missed call from this number.

A caller said they were from BT and told me my broadband router was involved in some sort of fraud. I told them I didn’t even have internet, then they just ended the call!

A gentleman of Asian descent rang me up, claiming there was an issue with my Virgin Media connection. He requested that I send over the details in writing via post. Strangely enough, just as I was about to provide them, the line went dead.

I've received my third call this week from someone purporting to be from BT, inquiring about our IP address. I've made it abundantly clear that I do not wish to receive any further calls, yet they keep ringing!

I had a call from a woman who claimed her name was Anna and said she was affiliated with Virgin Media. She went on about my internet speed supposedly being sluggish. I wasn’t convinced she was genuinely from Virgin, so I mentioned I’d rather verify with the company directly. Just like that, the call ended abruptly - she hung up without another word!

I received a call from an Asian lady purporting to be from BT Technical Support. I told her to take a hike and promptly ended the call.

I received a rather dubious call from a gentleman of Asian descent purporting to be from Microsoft. He mentioned there was a dire message from my computer regarding some sort of problem. When I inquired how he had acquired my number, he audaciously replied that the company possessed it! I pressed him further on this point, and after some convoluted exchanges, he had the gall to tell me I ought to apologise to him! It’s absolutely outrageous! These con artists need to be tracked down and brought to justice.

Received a call purportedly from Microsoft Services based in Reading, regarding some supposed pyrography activity. They mentioned downloading the Sharedesk software. Best to steer clear of that one!

I received a rather suspicious call from an Asian woman claiming to be 'Nancy' who informed me that multiple IP addresses had been attempting to breach my BT account. If I'm recalling that correctly! Naturally, I called her bluff and promptly disconnected the call. Strangely enough, I've faced some issues with my BT broadband recently, but that's more to do with connectivity. Even if her claims had been genuine, I wouldn’t have entertained any inquiries. Should you encounter a problem, always refer to the contact number on your bill and pursue that route. The golden rule is to never divulge information to unidentified callers!

I recently received a call from this number, and I must say, the line was dreadful. The chap on the other end had a foreign accent and was rather hard to understand as he mumbled his introduction. I politely told him that we don't make purchases over the phone, to which he insisted he wasn't trying to sell anything. However, I found his manner quite forceful and somewhat unsettling. When I pointed out that my number is ex-directory and shouldn’t be contacted, he retorted rather rudely, suggesting I ought to listen more carefully as he called me a "stupid woman." I promptly hung up. It’s quite alarming to think how distressing such encounters could be for someone more vulnerable.

Got a call at 5:52 in the bloody morning! Instinct said scam, so I blocked the number quick. Who calls that early unless something serious is wrong? Proper annoying and rude, honestly.

Got a call just before 9 in the morning, which is pretty unusual since my mates never phone me that early. So, I just left it unanswered.

No words spoken, they just ended the call.

Got a call just after 8 in the morning and it really made me jump since I'd just been dealing with a poorly family member. I picked up straight away but there was nothing but silence on the other end. Quite unsettling!

They never said who they were, which made me think it was probably just a cold call or some kind of scam.

Got another ring from this number today, but when I answered, silence on the line. [West Yorkshire]

Got a call from 01264319902, some bloke pretending to be from Microsoft, saying my PC was at risk of being hacked. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

Some bloke rang me claiming he was from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with my PC. Pretty obvious it was a total scam.

Just got a call, seems like a total scam.

Got a call from an unknown number this morning at 8:52 but there was no message on my answerphone. Didn’t have a clue who it was.

I received a rather alarming telephone call from a chap at the call centre-lots of background din and a rather crackling connection. He claimed to represent BT and expressed concerns regarding some dubious activities linked to my IP address. This gentleman inquired about the number of individuals residing at my address, presumably to pinpoint the precise IP associated with my household. I thought better of providing any details and went silent; he promptly ended the call, though I noticed the line lingered a bit longer than usual. I shall be filing a report with BT regarding this encounter.

As soon as I picked up the call, they promptly ended it.

I received a call from a woman with an Asian accent who introduced herself as Rosie, claiming to be from Virgin's tech team. She mentioned that my internet speed was below expectations. I informed her that I was rather tied up at the moment and that I would reach out to Virgin at my convenience. Just like that, she ended the call abruptly.

Absolutely a dodgy operation! I received a pair of calls back-to-back, one from a chap called Ry and then this number. It appears they might be disguising their own digits by piggybacking on genuine BT numbers belonging to unsuspecting individuals. When I attempted to return the call, nobody answered. Quite the racket, if you ask me!

Got a call from 01264319902 on 11 Nov 2022 around 8 in the morning. The guy said he was from Virgin Media and started asking about the colour of my router. He sounded Asian but I couldn’t really get what he was saying, so in the end I just hung up.

I got a call from someone named Jason, sounded Indian, said he was from Microsoft and wanted to chat about issues with my computer.

Got a call from a woman claiming to be with BT, saying my broadband was being used without permission and I had to block it because scammers might be trying to get in. I just said thanks and ended the call before she could go on. This is the second time I've had one of these calls in two days. My number's ex-directory too.

Got a call from someone saying they were Microsoft, sounded like it might've been from an Asian number. Seemed dodgy and a bit risky to me.

I’m currently out of the house, but I’ve received a call from a rather dubious number belonging to a place where I'm unfamiliar with anyone. It really raises some eyebrows!

All I could hear were mumblings in the background, so I didn’t stick around and just ended the call. It’s pretty clear their system is ringing people way quicker than the people answering can keep up with.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Mike from Microsoft, said there was a virus on my PC. My computer's been off for like 4 years, so I told him that and he just dropped the call right away. Definitely fishy, sounds like a scam.

I picked up and there was nothing but quiet on the other end, so I’ve decided to block the number now.

In just three days, this number has rung my home phone about seven times. I usually just ignore it and then block the number straight away.

For a couple of days straight, someone saying they were from BT kept ringing me up. I made it clear, maybe a bit rudely, that I wasn’t interested. If they bother me again, I’m definitely gonna make them sit through a long, pointless chat.

Got a call from a woman claiming she was from BT's tech support, telling me there was some dodgy activity on my internet. I challenged her by asking for my name and she couldn't say it. Told her if she was really from BT, she'd know who I was. Then I launched into a rant about all the terrible stuff happening in the world - wars, hunger, people suffering - and how her “job” was just scamming folks. Told her she ought to feel guilty and then I just ended the call.

I received a call from a lady with an Asian accent, and it appeared she was situated in a rather chaotic office environment. She asserted that she was representing BT Internet, mentioning that there had been some dubious activity linked to my internet connection, possibly due to someone attempting to breach my IP address. When I probed her for my name and address to verify her claims, she couldn't provide that information. Upon pressing her further about her identity and her affiliation, she abruptly cut the line. Quite fishy, if you ask me!
