02030266482 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02030266482 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance call from a purported tech or survey company often using Asian-accented callers.

Callers may use aggressive or rude behaviour when challenged, hang up abruptly, or resort to odd tactics like silence. They sometimes appear to know your name, address, or phone number, raising privacy concerns. Many suspect it’s a scam aiming to trick people into paying for bogus IT or electrical device services. Reports highlight frustration with frequency and harassment, with victims employing tactics to waste the scammers’ time instead of falling victim. The calls often come in waves, sometimes with silent hang-ups or multiple attempts daily.

Called our number, and the moment we answered, all we got was a complete silence on the other end. Quite baffling, really!

Called at 12:20 in the afternoon. One must wonder if they’re either incredibly bored or feeling a bit isolated. It’s high time they pursued a more fulfilling existence. It's quite odd how they seem to dial the same numbers at around the same hour every evening, isn't it?

I received a call from someone who claimed to be from PC Wizard, warning me that my computer supposedly had a virus according to their ‘protocol’ or something along those lines. Given that I have top-notch antivirus software installed, I can’t help but wonder if this was just a ruse to try and sell me some dodgy antivirus programme. I’ve even had a word with AOL about it, and they’re on the same page as me.

The phone rang at one in the morning, jolting us out of sleep, yet there was nothing but eerie silence on the other end. Feels rather dubious to me. I thought I'd been taken off the list.

I’ve just hung up the phone as they were trying to access my computer while we were chatting. My advice? Disconnect your Wi-Fi router and let it be for around half an hour. Make sure to share this info with others!

I received a phone call from someone trying to alert me about a so-called serious virus threat that was supposedly being unleashed, urging me to safeguard my computer. However, as a tech engineer myself, I can confidently say they dialled the wrong number!

I received a rather dubious phone call from someone claiming to be a technician. They insisted that my computer was infected with a virus and that I needed to pay for their services to sort it out. Sceptical, I declined and asked them to ring me back, during which I requested their company’s contact details. The name they gave me was Vlad, along with a supposed website and phone number. However, upon looking it up, I discovered it belonged to an American firm. Now I'm left wondering if they’re genuinely who they claim to be!

A colleague of ours received a call claiming that my computer's hard drive was corrupted and that an error message had been sent off to Microsoft. The caller insisted that they needed access to my device in order to provide further assistance and offered their guidance. When he inquired about the account holder's identity, she could only disclose our last name. He asked if they could contact us again later, as we were at home, but since then, we've heard absolutely nothing more. Quite bewildering, really!

This number seems to be a common one, constantly ringing us in search of a Mr Mallen. We've been residing at our home for a decade and can assure you that no one with that name has ever lived here. The callers insist they need to discuss something with the person who pays the phone bill. We've made it abundantly clear that if they wish to communicate with us, they ought to acknowledge our name instead. A chap with a foreign accent claimed it was essential for the lady to have a word with us about our residence. However, we often find ourselves hanging up, as sometimes we’re met with nothing but dead air the moment we answer.

Seems like they've hired some real pros now - just got a call from them asking about my washing machine. I mentioned that the oldest thing on their list was mine, and it’s well over 50 years old. After that, the bloke on the phone (calling him a gentleman would be a stretch) told me to "f*** off" - sorry for the language here. When I asked him to repeat himself, he swore again and then just hung up on me. What a fantastic company, not!

This number rang me three times today. The first time my husband picked up, but the caller just stayed silent. Next time, hubby answered again, and the person asked specifically for me. I mentioned I’m registered with TPS and asked how they got our number. They said they’d remove it. When I took the third call, they asked for me by name and claimed to be carrying out a washing machine survey. I reminded them it was the third call and that I'm on the TPS list. They hung up almost immediately after that.

I just got a call from an Asian guy who kept asking me what brand and age my washing machine was. Bit random, isn’t it?

I’ve been getting loads of calls from the number 0442030266482, which showed up on my caller ID after using 1471. They keep pestering me about what type of TV and washing machine I own and even claim there’s a virus on my computer. Just today, around midday on the 23rd July, they rang again wanting details about my washing machine. My voicemail has caught quite a few calls from this same number, none leaving any message, so I’m pretty sure it’s the same lot just trying their luck. Funny thing is, my washing machine warranty’s only just expired, but if these folks were from the original supplier or their insurance, wouldn’t they already have all my details on file? Seeing all the other reports about scams linked to this number and realising I can’t seem to block them, I’m thinking I’ll waste their time instead and keep them on the phone for ages next time they call. Let’s see how they like that!

Over the past few days, I’ve had a handful of calls from this number. A couple of times, I picked up and there was just silence on the other end. Today I answered again and it was an Asian bloke doing some kind of survey, asking about the brand of my washing machine. I'm ex-directory, but somehow they’ve got my name, address and number. Should I be concerned about this?

This really needs a proper look by the fraud squad - what’s going on here and why? I got one of these calls saying you could save 40% on your electricity bill just by plugging in a certain device. I told the caller my supplier, and he claimed EDF were backing this product. But when I checked with EDF, they had no clue about it. I also chatted to an elderly lady who'd bought one and she warned me these gadgets aren’t tested properly; apparently, some of her mates got electric shocks and even house fires because of them. Please be careful, these things might seem like a bargain at £79 if they actually worked, but they’re risky and not worth it. I’ve already told the Fraud Squad about this, and they said anytime you get calls like this, threaten to call the police and let them know you’re onto them.

Got a call from a bloke who sounded Asian, asking me the age and brand of my washing machine. I was a bit iffy about it when he asked for my name and address, but I gave it anyway. Later, I looked up the number on Google and found this site - brilliant! Now I’m a bit nervous about what could come of it.

I swear, this lot are driving me mad. After nearly 300 calls from them, they've switched it up - now they're chatting about washing machines, Sky packages and all sorts. I’ve already flagged them up to their main office over in New York State. They’ve conned folks out of about £150 a year, supposedly for keeping their computers safe from viruses and all that nonsense. They run their call centre out of India, even though they’ve got an office and a number in London. The weird thing is, they use all different names depending on whether you're in the UK, the US or Australia. Proper dodgy.

Just had a call from someone claiming to be PC Wizard. They said their tech team did a survey in my area and my computer is infected with malware and stuff. I figured it was a scam straight away but decided to mess with them a bit since I wasn't busy. So I asked, "How exactly did you get details about my computer?" He replies, "We did a survey in your area." Then I said, "What kind of info do you have about my PC?" He goes, "Our technicians conducted research and surveys." At this point, I told him I actually know more about computers than their so-called ‘experts’ and to stop feeding me nonsense because I’m on a Mac. Then he just hung up. Haha. His accent sounded Asian (not that it matters - I’m Indian myself). These scams keep evolving and it’s sad, especially for older folks and those who aren’t savvy with tech.

When I got back, I noticed I had two missed calls and voicemail from this same number, both left on a Saturday afternoon, which made me doubt they were selling anything. Listening to the messages, there was just someone saying "Hello. Hello" before hanging up immediately. The first call came from 0044 2030 266 482 at 5:43 pm, and the other was from 02030 266 482 at 7 pm.

On the 19th of July around 2.30 in the afternoon, I got a cold call from the number 0203 0266482. An Asian bloke said he was with the IT team at "BT Connect" and claimed my computer had some malware my antivirus couldn’t handle. When I asked for more details, he suddenly backpedalled and said it might have been malware after all. He wanted me to switch my PC on so he could show me the supposed threats and how I couldn’t fix them without his “amazing” service - which he insisted was free - but I was instantly wary, knowing BT never offers anything for free! He was quite smooth and tried to butter me up with the usual lines you hear in these calls - “as you know…” and “I’m sure you’re aware…” - all designed to sound legit. Needless to say, he didn’t get anything from me……………… Just a heads up to everyone out there - watch your backs!

I just got a call from a guy named "John" who had a really thick Indian accent. He used my first name and wanted to know if I owned a Sony or Panasonic TV. When I asked where he got my number from (I'm ex-directory), he claimed it was from some 'National directory' he had access to. He even knew my address! I refused to answer any more questions and told him to take my details off their records. To annoy him a bit, I kept the call going on speakerphone while I did other stuff. Eventually, he just hung up.

My missus answered a phone call from someone claiming our PC’s hard drive was messed up and that some error report had been sent to Microsoft. This bloke asked her to switch the computer on and do what he said. When she wanted to know who he was or the account holder’s full name, all he could give was our last name! She told him to ring back when I was around, but we never got another call after that.
