Phone number ☎️ 01274591553 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls falsely claiming affiliation with major UK telecom and tech companies like Virgin Media, BT, Sky, and Microsoft.

Many calls are silent or abruptly end when questioned. Recipients often experience abusive language or quick hang-ups upon challenging the caller's legitimacy. Efforts to engage scammers by prolonging calls are advised to waste their time. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), users report ongoing harassment. Vigilance is recommended, with an emphasis on not following any instructions from callers and promptly blocking or reporting the number to appropriate authorities.

2 yearsGot a call from some Asian lady claiming to be from Virgin Media. I always deal with scammers the same way - I just keep them on the line and feed them a load of rubbish. Eventually, she just gave up and hung up. That’s how you deal with these scam calls!Virgin Media2 yearsThis number rang me up but when I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end. It felt dodgy straight away, so I quickly hit the ‘block number’ option on my phone.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Sky support, but it was clearly a scam. They wanted me to let them access my internet and computer, which felt really dodgy.Sky Technical2 yearsGot a call but nobody said a word on the other end. Quite strange!2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Openreach about my internet. There was loads of background noise, so I just hung up.Openreach2 yearsGot a ring from a woman with an Asian accent, who used my name and said she was from BT regarding my internet. I replied in a cheerful tone, singing out, "How about a holiday in the Yorkshire Dales with Airbnb? Special offer just for today…" She seemed confused, kept saying ‘sorry?’ a few times, then suddenly said, ‘Wait, are you trying to sell me Airbnb?’ and just cut the call!BTAirbnbYorkshire Dales2 yearsSome bloke said he was from Microsoft, but when I questioned him, he started swearing. Even as I hung up, he kept shouting at me. Didn’t bother me one bit, honestly!Microsoft2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent pretending she worked for Microsoft. Definitely spam.Microsoft2 yearsGot a wordless ring on my answer machine.2 yearsGot a dodgy call claiming to be from Virgin Media - total scam!Virgin Media2 yearsGot a call on my home phone from this number earlier. A girl with an Asian accent was speaking really quick about something to do with my PC. When I started to ask more, a man with a similar accent took over. He kept insisting I needed to let them fix my computer and claimed they had a Microsoft office right here in Reading! I’m from Northern Ireland, so that sounded off to me.MicrosoftReadingNorthern Ireland2 yearsReceived a call on our landline, which is registered with TPS, on 23rd July 2024. Answered it but all I got was silence on the other side. Felt like a scam, especially after seeing the other comments on here that confirmed my doubts.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsAnswered the call and then it just went silent. Could this be some sort of scam?2 yearsSome bloke with bad English, said he was from BT but I’m not convinced. When I asked his name he mumbled something like Peter but couldn’t say it properly at all. I kept probing to find out what company he was really from and next thing, he started shouting swear words at me, funny part is he could say “F” and “C” words clearly enough. Strange how he could get the rude stuff right but not his own name!Peter2 yearsI got a ring from this number around 10:09 on Tuesday, 23/07/24. The bloke on the other end had a weird accent and said his name was 'Jonathan Carter', claiming to be from Microsoft. He told me to look up my IP address on Google, saying hackers were messing with my computer. Once I told him he was clearly trying to scam me and just wanted to get into my machine, he dropped an F-bomb on me and slammed the phone down!Jonathan CarterMicrosoft2 yearsI’ve been registered with TPS for ages and yet this week alone I’ve gotten calls from three different scam numbers, and not once have they left a voicemail. Honestly, it's so frustrating that these con artists keep getting through despite all the tech advances.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsIf I don’t recognise the number or it’s not saved in my contacts, I usually let my answering service take it. They never bother leaving a message anyway.2 yearsI've been getting loads of scam calls from random numbers recently - it feels like there's lots of call centres in India swapping stolen info to trap people. The cops there don’t seem bothered, probably because they're getting bribes, even though organisations like BBC Scam Watch have reported it. Honestly, maybe it’s time we just block internet access from places like India and Nigeria to stop this nonsense.IndiaBBCScam WatchersNigeria2 yearsMaybe a Chinese-accented voice, was muttering something about BT, then the call just ended abruptly.BT2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Microsoft, it was 23rd July around 11:07. Definitely a scam!Microsoft2 yearsI got a call from this number claiming to be Virgin Media, talking about my phone bill. I just told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call straight away.Virgin Media2 yearsGot a call from someone with a strange accent, telling me I’d been sent 3 alerts to switch my phone and line. Thing is, I never got any messages at all. The guy was quite pushy and kept saying I had. I just ended the call. Feels like some kind of scam to me?2 yearsThey called about my Sky broadband but I’m not even signed up for it!Sky2 yearsI got a call from the same number like 5 times one after another. The person on the line wouldn't let me get a word in and was banging on about hackers breaking into my PC and stuff. Proper annoying!2 yearsGot a call and I caught what sounded like a woman’s voice, but then the call just dropped out.2 yearsJust got a call on my home phone, some guy said he was from BT Internet and said there was an issue with my connection. When I asked if he was actually calling from the UK, he cut the call straight away before I could even tell him I’m registered with the TPS.UKTelephone Preference Service2 yearsI've been getting loads of these unwanted calls too, all from different numbers. Seems like the same scam every time. Really annoying.2 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier. The bloke on the other end reckon I was a woman at first, then realised I wasn’t. When I told him to keep chatting, he just dropped the call. Did I say summat wrong? I was kinda hoping for a bit more banter with the idiot. Pretty clear it was a dodgy call though.Submit Your Own Report (01274 591553)
