02476685616 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02476685616 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number originating from the Coventry area code, frequently targeting individuals with claims about computer viruses, network issues, or unpaid taxes. Callers often adopt false identities, including posing as Microsoft technicians, and pressure recipients for remote access or personal details. Many calls feature aggressive or abusive behaviour when challenged, while others involve silence, hang-ups, or pre-recorded messages designed to intimidate. Despite official regulations, the calls continue to bypass blocking and the Telephone Preference Service. Users are strongly advised not to engage, provide any information, or return calls. Reporting the number to relevant authorities and blocking on personal devices are recommended measures to reduce nuisance and potential fraud risk.

6 yearsThese scammers were really pushy, trying to get my personal info. I just told them off and told them to kick rocks!7 yearsI was working most days but today I’m at home, picked up the phone and there was just silence on the other side.7 yearsBeware, this number is definitely a con. They say there’s something wrong with your PC and ask you to do what they say. If you don’t listen, they get really rude and threaten to cut off your internet. Pretty obvious scam trying to steal your info.7 yearsI say a big thumbs down to those scammers!7 yearsThis number has rung me for the past few days, totally annoying. I've gone ahead and blocked it now. Honestly, they need to be put to a stop. What a nuisance!7 yearsThis number called my landline but didn’t bother leaving a message, and it kinda sounded like they just left the line open? Strange.7 yearsI just looked up 1471.7 yearsYesterday, someone rang my folks trying to tell them there was a problem with their computer. When my parents said they didn’t own a PC, the caller quickly switched and said maybe it was their laptop. But when they said they didn’t have one either, the caller got really annoyed and kept insisting they must have one or the other. Whether it’s a scam or not, I wouldn’t trust any calls coming from this number.7 yearsSome bloke named Joseph rang claiming to be from 'Microsoft' using this number. When I mentioned I was an Apple user, I wasn't too polite and called him a few rude names. He then warned me he'd do something to my laptop and just ended the call.MicrosoftJosephApple7 yearsCalled this number earlier but no reply from the other side. Looks like a scam to me.7 yearsI was utterly baffled when I spoke to him, so I simply asked him to spell it out for me. He went on to say "Coentry," which I gathered was his attempt at saying Coventry. Quite the mix-up!Coventry7 yearsTried calling them earlier today but got no response.7 yearsGot a call earlier today but no message was left, so I just blocked the number.7 yearsI got a call from this number earlier today but when I answered, there was nobody on the line and they just dropped it.7 yearsGot a call on our home phone earlier but there wasn’t any voicemail or message after it rang off.7 yearsGot a call and there was nothing said on the other end, so I’m just gonna ignore it from now on.7 yearsI keep getting calls from this number claiming they're from Microsoft, but when I told them I work in Microsoft security, they just ended the call. It's happened a few times now.Microsoft7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming there was an issue with my computer, but I reckon it was just another scam.7 yearsEven after I blocked the number, it keeps calling non stop. It never bothers to leave a voicemail, just hangs on the line for like 5 minutes. When I pick up, it’s always just static, no one actually talking. Proper annoying!7 yearsDont answer this number, its a total scam. Some bloke rang saying he was the 'main computer supplier' and wanted me to put some weird software on my laptop. I told him to get lost. Then he threatened to turn off my computer, said he was calling from Coventry or summat! Number was 02476685616.Coventry7 yearsI picked up and just said hi, then a robot voice just told me goodbye straight away! When I tried ringing back, it just hung up right away.7 yearsYep, it’s just another one of those Microsoft scam calls again.Microsoft7 yearsGot a irritating call from some bloke claiming he could clean all the rubbish off my laptop. Wanted to take control of my screen or something. I told him straight up I don’t even have a laptop, then suddenly they just hung up. Proper dodgy!7 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times in the past week and neither time did anyone say a word! After seeing what others have said, I’ve decided it’s best to just not answer.7 yearsThis bloke kept going on about my computer having issues, so I just let him keep talking until he finally got bored and ended the call.7 yearsReceived an unsolicited call from the number 02476685616. Quite bothersome!7 yearsBeware of this dodgy number! I received a call from a chap who touted himself as the "provider of every computer under the sun." He attempted to persuade me to download some sketchy software onto my device. I firmly told him to get lost. He then went on to say he could switch off my computer - from Coventry of all places! - caller: 02476685616.Coventry7 yearsWhen he rang, I said right away that I’m sick of all these scam calls. But he just kept talking and talking. After a bit, I ended up shouting 'Leave me alone!' until he finally hung up.7 yearsIt’s definitely a scam, best to just ignore it.7 yearsDon’t pick up, it’s a total scam.7 yearsThese scammers have pushed me over the edge, I’ve started blowing a whistle every time they call me - hope that finally makes them stop!7 yearsNo answer, total ghost.7 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft support, total scammer trying to trick me.Microsoft7 yearsWhat a total con! I requested his complete company information-proper name and full address (turns out it's just a car park in Coventry), mainly to wind him up. He was clueless, going on about a virus infecting my personal computer. When I insisted that I didn't even own one, he became increasingly irate. Steer clear of these shady characters, for sure! - Caller: 02476685616CoventryCaller7 yearsGot a call from this number while I was still in bed this morning, but they didn’t leave any voicemail or message. After seeing some of the info here, I’ve just blocked it.7 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the caller just hung up, probably expecting me to ring them back. This site really helps me figure out if it's a scam or not.7 yearsGot one of those quiet calls again, definitely a scam.7 yearsI picked up the call and there was this awkward silence. Then a bloke came on saying something I didn’t catch, claiming he was calling from some company I couldn’t make out. When I asked why they were calling me, he said it was something to do with my computer. Seemed like a total scam to me since I never reported any issues with my PC to anyone. I told him I wasn’t interested and was sure it was a scam. He insisted it wasn’t, but I just ended the call quickly before I lost my temper.7 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming my computer had an issue. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.7 yearsThe number appeared as a landline from Coventry, which I didn’t recognise at all. When I answered, there was this strange little silence before the call just got cut off. Feels like a dodgy caller, especially since I’m not supposed to be getting random calls like this.Coventry7 yearsSome bloke phoned me, claiming there was something wrong with my computer. I quickly sussed out it was a dodgy call, told him off and hung up straight away.7 yearsTotal scam. They claimed my firewall was down and that my computer had been hacked. Tried to act like they were helping me sort it out. Asked me to visit this site [#]fix2x[###], but I didn’t bother going there and just ended the call.7 yearsIt rang a couple of times but when I answered, there was nothing on the other end. I’m on the TPS list too.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsGot a call from this number roughly an hour back but it hung up before I picked up. The 0247 668 prefix seemed dodgy to me, so I didn’t bother calling it back. Just checked here and yep, it’s definitely a scam. Glad this site exists, it really helps!7 yearsI picked up, but the person on the other end just stayed quiet and then ended the call. Later, they rang me again from a different number that I didn't know. Definitely seems like one of those scam calls.7 yearsI've been looking for work and decided to call this number, but got nothing but silence on the other end. Fingers crossed I don't get billed for it. It keeps calling me over and over. Luckily, I saw some tips saying it’s a scam, so at least now I know what’s going on.7 yearsGot a call and as soon as I picked up, all I heard was silence and then the dial tone. Total waste of time, probably some scammer messing about.7 yearsIndeed, I've had the same chap ring me not once, but twice! He's got quite a pronounced accent and introduced himself as Mark. When I mentioned that I don't own any computers, he didn’t seem fazed at all. The number he called from was 02476685616. Quite odd, I must say!Mark7 yearsSome bloke rang asking to talk to my husband, said it was really urgent. When I mentioned he’d passed away back in April, he just dropped the call. Bit rude, if you ask me.7 yearsMy partner picked up the call and couldn’t really make sense of what they were trying to say, but it sounded like those other reports I’ve seen. Just so you know, I’m with Virgin Media and signed up on the TPS list, yet the call still came through - so it’s not only a BT thing.Virgin MediaTelephone Preference ServiceBT7 yearsGot a call with an automated voice telling me my internet was all messed up and I had just a day to fix it. They said to press 1 if I wanted to know what to do next. Watch out, it’s a scam!7 yearsGot a call from 02476685616, only rang a couple times then just stopped. Definitely looks like a scam to me!7 yearsI already mentioned this on 05/09/219, but I’ve been getting loads more calls from this number, all trying the exact same scam on me. If this keeps up, I’m definitely ditching BT.BT7 yearsPicked up the phone and all I got was quiet, no one said a word.7 yearsSomebody called telling me my internet was messed up and that I needed to go to a website to fix it by downloading a file. It was full of errors and sounded dodgy as heck. Honestly, it's definitely a scam, so don’t even bother picking up when they call.7 yearsThis number keeps calling me over and over. Just this morning it rang once again. When I say hello, no one ever replies. It's pretty clear they're scammers, so definitely don't bother calling back. Really frustrating and a bit invasive!7 yearsGot a call from someone saying my computer was full of errors and needed urgent security updates. Had a good chuckle before I just told him off and ended the call straight away.7 yearsThis number rang me again early today. I already posted a comment about them last Thursday. Same old annoying pre-recorded message claiming they’re my internet provider and saying my service will be cut off in a day or two. Then it tells you to press one to talk to someone who can fix it. Yeah, right! Who do they think they’re fooling? I’m not falling for that nonsense. These scammers are driving me mad, constantly bothering me. It’s not just annoying, it feels threatening and honestly, it’s harassment.7 yearsJust got hit with yet another scam call.7 yearsThis number has rung me a few times now with a recorded message claiming I’m about to be arrested for unpaid taxes, that my internet will be cut off, or that my computer’s been hacked and so on. I’m no fool and it’s obvious these are scam calls. But I worry others less clued-up might get scared and end up giving away personal info to these crooks. Just a heads up to stay sharp and not fall for these nasty tricks!7 yearsI got a call from an Asian guy who was obviously reading from a script, but his accent was so strong it was really hard to catch what he was saying. When I told him to remove my number, he started arguing back. I kept saying "please delete my number" over and over until he just stopped talking, then I ended the call.7 yearsGot a bunch of calls about some IT and tax stuff, all sounding like threats. I even called back once, ended up on their voicemail both times a couple days ago after telling them I wasn’t buying any of it and to stop calling me. The person on the other end sounded really self-important and rather annoyed. Properly weird experience. Honestly, they ought to be stopped for this.7 yearsPhone rang three times and I hung up as soon as I answered.7 yearsIf he's not cautious, I might just throw some errors and warnings on his PC - then again, he can always try searching it up himself!7 yearsThe moment I picked up, they just ended the call right away.7 yearsHung up after just three rings.7 yearsTotal scam alert. I got a call from someone with a strong Indian or Pakistani accent who said his name was "George Matthews". He tried to convince me that my PC was showing loads of "warnings and errors". Luckily, I know enough about computers to realise that stuff isn’t true and it’s not how these things normally work. I worry for people who don’t understand IT though because they might easily fall for this trick.George Matthews7 yearsSo today I got a call from what’s supposed to be a landline in Coventry, but I really don’t think it was legit. The weird part? The moment I answered “Hello,” they just hung up straight away - didn’t even get to hear who it was!Coventry7 yearsWhen I told them I'd hand the phone over to my husband, who's a police officer, they got really aggressive and then just hung up on me.7 yearsSome bloke rang, called himself Mark but his strong Asian accent made that name feel off. He said it concerned my computer, so I asked what company I use for my internet and he just dropped the call. Honestly, folks behind these calls must be pretty miserable with nothing better to do. At best, they’re just a nuisance, nothing more.Mark7 yearsSome bloke rang me saying his name was Mark, which seemed odd given his thick Asian accent. He started going on about my computer. When I asked him who my provider was, he just cut off. Honestly, the folks who ring from these numbers come across as pretty pathetic and pointless, just annoying as hell at best.Mark7 yearsI got a call about my computer from some woman, but I couldn’t quite catch where she said she was calling from. She kept babbling on about downloads and I wasn’t having any of it, so I just ended the call.7 yearsNo sound at all, pretty sure it’s a scam call.7 yearsDon’t bother picking up, it’s definitely a scam.7 yearsIt’s just gone 10 this morning and I’ve already had three calls from them.7 yearsJust saw these comments after getting a missed call on my landline, which is both unlisted and on the TPS. If I’d been there, I’d have given them earache for sure. Anyway, I’m off to report the number to the ICO now. Hopefully they catch whatever’s going on!Telephone Preference ServiceICO7 yearsThis is the third time they've rang me, and I've had to block the number each time.7 yearsThis bloke called up saying my PC was infected or something. I told him straight, no computer here mate. Then I gave him a bit of cheek and told him exactly where to stick his "virus" if he manages to track it down 😂7 yearsWhy on earth are people calling me at this unholy hour? Is there no respect for others’ sleep? I received a call from 02476685616, and honestly, it's shockingly disruptive!7 yearsI received a peculiar call from someone identifying himself as Mark, which struck me as rather odd given his pronounced Asian accent. He inquired about my computer, but when I pressed him for the name of my service provider, he abruptly ended the conversation. It’s truly baffling how these callers seem to embody the epitome of unfulfilled aspirations, leaving a rather unimpressive impression on everyone they contact. Just a nuisance, if you ask me. - Caller: Mark... not likely!Mark7 yearsI recently received a call from someone claiming to be Mark. Now, it’s rather odd to hear a name like that paired with a pronounced Asian accent. He mentioned something about my computer, but when I inquired about who my service provider was, he abruptly cut the conversation short. Honestly, these sorts of callers seem to be nothing more than frustrated souls, grasping for some semblance of relevance-though really, they mostly just manage to be a nuisance. Honestly, "Mark"? I have my doubts.Mark7 yearsThey rang me earlier but just dropped the call without saying anything.7 yearsThis number tried ringing me again, luckily my call blocker stopped it from getting through.7 yearsGot a call earlier from someone saying my computer was infected and they had teamed up with Microsoft to fix it if I let them access it remotely. I said I actually work for Microsoft and asked what department they were in. They got really rude and then just hung up on me.Microsoft7 yearsMy phone buzzed a couple times before going silent. Decided to check the number here and I've already blocked it now.7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming there was a problem with my PC. I wasn’t exactly courteous and told them off before slamming the phone down. Then, the same number rang again about half a minute later, but I just ignored it. What a rubbish scammer, honestly.7 yearsTOTAL SCAM!!! BE WARNED!!!!!7 yearsGot a scam call today and I made sure to report it on '<a href="https://www[.]actionfraud[.]police[.]uk/report-phishing">Action Fraud</a>'. If more ppl took a minute to do this, maybe there’d finally be some sort of crackdown on these annoying scammers.Action7 yearsGot a call from someone with a heavy accent claiming there was an issue with my PC. Classic scam, trying to convince me I had a virus and needed to give them control remotely. I cut them off straight away and ended the call, then blocked the number. Honestly, this place really needs a better telecoms watchdog because OFCOM just doesn’t seem to do enough to stop these scams.OFCOM7 yearsThis number called me once more today, but they just let it ring a few times then hang up before I could answer. It's clearly a ploy to get you to ring them back after checking the number on 1471. Well, they can forget it, because we never return calls from unknown numbers. The real irritation is the constant nuisance - it’s annoying even if you don’t fall for their tricks. For someone like me with mobility problems, these frequent calls are downright frustrating. Honestly, I can't understand why nothing effective has been done about this yet.7 yearsAbsolute nightmare every time I pick up... a massive pain in the backside!7 yearsGot a call from this number, tried ringing back but it didn't show up on my phone. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.7 yearsTypical scam call saying my computer’s got a virus or whatever. I told them I’d only have a virus if I let dodgy people like them mess with my remote access, which is exactly what they’re after. The woman kept trying to talk over me with a “no ma’am,” but I can shout just as loud! Told her to keep quiet and find a real job instead of trying to con decent folks out of their cash.7 yearsReceived a call from this number, but when I picked up, there was total silence on the other end. Took a quick look on Who Called Me and looks like it might just be another scam trying to get through.7 yearsHad this quiet call blowing my phone up over and over, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.7 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they were from the Tech Department, but as soon as they found out they were talking to a business, they just ended the call.Tech Department7 yearsThat number 02476685616 keeps ringing my phone, usually about 6 times or so before hanging up. Honestly, it's driving me nuts and I’m seriously thinking about disconnecting my phone altogether. These calls feel like pure harassment. The earliest one today was around 8:15 in the morning and they just keep coming non-stop right up until night.7 yearsA call came through to my home phone around half past one this afternoon. When I picked up, the person on the other end just disconnected without saying a word. - Caller: UnknownCaller7 yearsI received a call from this number claiming there was a virus on my computer, but the cheeky thing is, I don’t even own a computer! - Caller: 024766856167 yearsI got a call with nothing but silence on the other end, and after that my phone wouldn't work until I took the battery out and put it back in.Submit Your Own Report (024 7668 5616)
