Reports on phone number 01438941016
2 yearsI let them know I’m on the TPS and asked them to take my number off whatever list they had. They said they didn’t keep a list, which made me ask, “Then how are you calling me? Just dialling numbers at random?” I kept saying “remove me from your list” over and over until they eventually ended the call. Just another caller to add to my blocked bunch.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsGot a call with loads of background noise, then some Asian lady just said hello and ended the call. Honestly, so done with these calls every single day 🙄2 yearsGot a call from some Asian bloke who was really rude and talked so fast I couldn’t make out half of what he said. When I asked how he got my number, he just acted all arrogant and then just hung up on me. I’ve already blocked the number now.2 yearsSo done with those calls where no one says a word. I've just gone ahead and blocked the number.2 yearsSo I answered the phone and all I could hear was some sort of static at first, but then this lady said she was calling from GB Capital. Honestly, I get calls like this all the time from loads of different numbers. They’re always trying to persuade you to put your money into some investment scheme.GB Capital2 yearsGot a call from an Asian gentleman pitching some kind of investment in a Mayfair firm. I asked him to email me all the details - like info about his company, what exactly he was offering, plus his FCA registration. He told me that wasn’t their process. When I questioned where he got my phone number, he just said it was from his list. Because of that, I told him I suspected it was a con and that I wasn’t interested in taking things any further.AsiaMayfairFCA2 yearsThis bloke from GB Capital in Mayfair London rang me, said he had a chance to invest with a 34.5% yearly return. When I told him my last investment was 25 years ago, he suddenly said I wasn’t the right person for this deal. I asked why, but he couldn’t give me any clear answer. I also told him I wanted the details sent through the post like I asked last week via a mate, as I’m wary of email attachments after a dodgy experience. He said he’d check with his supervisor and then just hung up on me. Feels like a total scam from Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC to me.GB CapitalMayfairLondonRed Ribbon Asset Management PLC2 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke claiming to be from GB Capital. I told him I’d already said no a couple of times before, like last week and the week before that, and told him to delete my number. Then I just cut him off and blocked the number straight away.GB Capital2 yearsI picked up the phone, but there was dead silence, then the line just went dead. I blocked the number and marked it as spam right away.2 yearsI picked up and there was nobody on the other end.2 yearsGot a call from this number on 2nd July at 10:55 am, checked with 1471. They didn’t leave any voicemail, so I reckon it’s not a genuine call, probably dodgy.2 yearsAbsolute scam, don’t trust it!2 yearsI received a call from this number earlier today, and they actually used my name! Instantly, I suspected it was a scam, so I hung up. Not long after, the same number tried to reach me again, ringing repeatedly for some time. I chose to just ignore it. As a retired woman, I understand the concerns similar to those expressed by another lady here.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Windows tech support, told me my computer was hacked. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.2 yearsGot a call that said there was something wrong with my PC, just some Windows scam, don’t trust it! Really bad experience, they tried to trick me big time. Stay careful out there!2 yearsIt was tricky to make out what she was saying because of her accent, and I couldn't catch the name of the firm she claimed to represent. She said my computer was hacked, but when I told her I don’t even own a computer, she said something about cancelling my registration. I just ended the call.2 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman who was quite hard to follow, saying there was a problem with my computer. I said I didn’t own a computer, and then she switched to mentioning a laptop. Told her I didn’t have one of those as well. She then said my licence ID showed I’m from Frimley and warned that my computer would stop working unless I took her advice. I just ended the call after that.Frimley2 yearsThey kept pushing me to switch on my computer to prove the scam, never once giving me a number to call back. I asked repeatedly for a callback number, but they just didn’t respond.2 yearsNumber was unfamiliar, so I just ignored the call. They didn’t bother leaving any voicemail either.2 yearsI've been receiving persistent calls from someone claiming to be a computer technician from India. He’s specifically mentioning Windows support and has been rather pushy, ringing me three times just last Friday and again this morning. It’s quite unsettling, especially at my age of over 90. I've simply hung up and chosen not to engage with him. The whole situation is quite distressing and makes me uneasy.India2 yearstotal scam, dont trust these calls!2 yearsA lady called, claiming to be with Windows, insisting that my computer had been compromised! She warned that it would shut down in thirty minutes unless I stayed at my computer and obeyed her commands. I told her I suspected it was a scam and I was about to disconnect the call.2 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from Windows, about my computer or tablet. I shouted that I don’t own any laptops or iPads and told her to stop calling me. After hanging up, she rang back pretty quickly and was rude, asking why I ended the last call. I repeated that I don’t use any Windows devices and just hung up once again. Then, like half an hour later, another call came from someone claiming to be Windows support asking for the main user, to which I said they weren’t available. What a nightmare!2 yearsI got a call from a lady who claimed she was from Windows Security. After she asked for my name and I gave it, she kept trying to convince me. I just ended the call straight away. She rang me back right away and asked why I cut her off. I told her, “I don’t bother with scam calls,” and then I hung up for good.Windows Security2 yearsSounds like the usual scam scampering about. This woman was very pushy and quite rude, but honestly the whole thing was pretty shoddy. Luckily, the call kept dropping out and eventually cut off on its own, so I didn’t have to get rude and hang up myself.2 yearsIt was clearly a scam, some dodgy tech support lot. They kept calling and wouldn’t stop pestering me, so I just ended the call. Then, annoyingly, they rang again to ask why I’d cut them off, and guess what? They dropped the call on me! Proper cheeky behaviour.2 yearsThey said it was Microsoft calling. I just hung up straight away.Microsoft2 yearsGot a call today from someone saying they were tech support. They kept pushing and were really rude about it. I hung up, but they rang me right back again! Total scam.2 yearsReceived two calls earlier today from this number, purporting to be from the Windows support team. I hung up before they could continue their spiel.2 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be with Windows support. Told her I wasn't having any issues with Windows and hung up. She called right back and sounded shocked I ended the call, so I hung up once more.2 yearsTotal con job.2 yearsReally annoying and overly pushy scam call.2 yearsGot a call from some guy with an Indian accent who was really pushy right from the start. I ended the call but he rang me two more times after that, each time getting more hostile. Then a woman answered - sounded like a supervisor - and she was even more fierce, warning me that my service would be cut off within 30 minutes if I didn’t comply. Honestly, felt like pure intimidation the whole time.2 yearsThis number has been ringing me loads today. Every time I attempted to finish the chat, the person just wouldn’t shut up, so I had to hang up. Before that, they kept calling again and again even when I didn’t answer.2 yearsJust like some others mentioned, a woman said she was from Microsoft and that my computer was hacked, asking me to do some stuff on it. I told her Microsoft never calls people, plus I have Norton Internet Security installed. She sounded Asian and started getting rude, accusing me of lying. I ended up raising my voice, and then she quickly hung up.MicrosoftNorton Internet Security2 yearsThis morning, our home phone has been contacted by this number on two occasions, but each time they disconnect as soon as we pick up.2 yearsA guy rang me claiming to be from Windows, saying my computer had been doing suspicious stuff. I got suspicious, so he passed me over to a woman who told me to check the Event Viewer. Then she asked me to open the command prompt, but I just hung up there and then. Right after, a bloke called back asking why I'd gone quiet. I told him I thought it was dodgy. I used 1471 to check their number.2 yearsGot called by someone really rude who kept ringing again after I hung up. Pretty sure it was one of those virus on your computer scams. Not happy!2 yearsGot a call at 8:56 this morning from a woman talking about windows. My phone flagged it as a scam right away. She got pretty annoyed, insisting I should trust her since she supposedly had all my info. I ended up hanging up, but she phoned again straight after. This time, I just let it ring out without answering and no voicemail was left. I've blocked her number now so she can't ring me again.2 yearsGot a call from this number today, didn’t pick up since it’s already blocked on my spam list.2 yearsThis morning around 11:20, I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from IT Support, saying my computer was hacked. I immediately suspected it was a scam. I asked her loads of questions and made sure not to reveal anything. I told her I don’t even own a computer, but she just kept accusing me of lying. She was quite persistent, so I just ended the call.IT Support2 yearsI’ve had the same issue this morning with this number calling repeatedly. I picked up twice and told them off firmly, the second time telling them I knew it was some kind of scam, yet they kept ringing back. After that I just let the phone ring out. They claimed to be from Windows and said there was an issue with my licence or something. Proper annoying.2 yearsGot a call early morning at about 8.15am from someone called "Maria" with a strong accent, talking about some issue with a Windows computer. I was pretty irked and ended the call straight away. But then, she rang me back right away, asking why I had cut her off. I gave her a rather cheeky reply and hung up again. And guess what? She tried ringing me once more! Didn’t bother answering the third time though.MariaSubmit Your Own Report (01438 941016)
