Phone number ☎️ 02089245429 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance originating from callers claiming to identify faults or unwanted files on users' computers, often urging step-by-step access that could enable hacking. The callers frequently speak with Indian accents and employ deceptive tactics including falsely monitoring computers or addressing recipients by near-correct names to appear legitimate. Many recipients find the conversations confusing or aggressive, with some calls going silent or ending abruptly when challenged. Despite registration with the UK’s Telephone Preference Service, calls continue, likely from abroad. Users are advised to remain cautious, avoid following instructions that grant remote access, and dismiss or block these unsolicited calls promptly to prevent potential scams and security risks.

12 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, some guy with an Indian accent. Instantly felt something was off.12 yearsJust got a call like the one mentioned above, about some dodgy software supposedly trying to get into my PC. The bloke wanted to walk me through steps to see if my computer was "infected" with anything bad. I told him I'd jot the instructions down since I wasn't at my computer right then, but I knew he was just after getting access to hack me. He insists, "That's illegal, I wouldn't do that," but when I pushed back, he got pretty annoyed and then hung up when I told him off for being rude. Waiting on the next call now.12 yearsGot a call out the blue, mostly quiet but sometimes they'd say they're offering fixes for problems with my computer. Total cold call, bit strange really.12 yearsGot a call from a bloke who said he was from England, but honestly his accent sounded Indian. He kept babbling about computers and honestly, it felt like a total scam to me.12 yearsSome bloke from India kept calling me, must have rung about ten times. I naively picked up the first time and just told him to try again later. Eventually, he gave up ringing. Such a pain!India12 yearsI get calls from this number pretty much all the time during the week, it’s honestly becoming a bit of a pain.12 yearsGot a call but they just dropped as soon as I picked up, which usually means I call back and give them a taste of their own medicine. But when I tried, the number didn’t come up on my phone! So I saved it as ‘ignore’ on my caller ID now, so if they try again, I’ll know straight away. :)12 yearsI got a call from a lady with a foreign accent, who nearly got my name right and wanted to know if I was the person who mainly uses the computer. I’d heard about these sorts of calls before, so I was pretty wary. I just said I don’t deal with these calls and put the phone down. I’m signed up to the TPS, but I reckon these calls must be coming from places like India where the TPS rules don’t really apply.Telephone Preference ServiceIndia12 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent saying they’d been checking out my computer and found all sorts of crap on it. Said they’d help me get rid of these junk files. I told her my partner sorts all that stuff and just asked them to call back later - not sure he’d even pick up, and if he did, he’d give them a proper telling off!12 yearsKept getting calls where no one said a word. Quite annoying!12 yearsGot a call about some internet issue, they then started quizzing me on my age like I’m ancient or something. Bit rude if you ask me, then they just ended the call. Typical!12 yearsGot a call on my partner's home phone from someone with a really hard to understand accent, sounded Indian maybe? When my partner answered, they kept asking if there was a computer and if they were the primary user. My partner just hung up after that. Seriously, what's the use of signing up for the TPS if you still get these kinds of calls?IndiaPreference Service12 yearsGot a call from 020 8924 5429, it's a London number. They started off with the usual nonsense about finding issues with my computer and all that rubbish. Definitely another scam trying to catch people out.London12 yearsGot a load of calls from some dodgy PC scammers claiming my computer's overrun with unwanted files - said they were even in it just then... proper annoying!12 yearsTotal con, they try to convince you there’s some dodgy file on your computer that’s nicking all your info. What they really want is to upload their own file and rip you off. The bloke had a clear Indian accent. Half of me fancied playing along and wasting his time, pretending to be completely clueless about tech. Seriously, this scam is so rubbish, even my gran would have had enough after a few minutes. Honestly, can’t these scam artists come up with something a bit more clever nowadays? We’re living in the 21st century, after all.India12 yearsBloody annoying scammers from India again, probably trying to con someone. They should really sort themselves out and find a legit job.12 yearsA rather dodgy character rang up claiming to speak with the homeowner. It was clearly a scam. The moment we let them know who we were, they abruptly hung up. Quite the cheek, really!13 yearsI've been getting numerous silent calls from this number, and it's quite perplexing!13 yearsHad a right dodgy call from some outfit claiming they’d pinpointed an issue with our computer. We wasted no time in telling them to clear off and hung up sharpish.13 yearsClaimed to be associated with this company, yet we have no prior knowledge of it.Submit Your Own Report (020 8924 5429)
