Phone number ☎️ 02920008370 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers claiming to be from well-known tech companies or internet providers, attempting to convince recipients that their computers have viruses or issues.

The other day, our mother, who's in her golden years, received a call from someone with a strong foreign accent claiming to be from an anti-virus software company. This chap named 'Hazel' insisted that there was a virus on her computer and urged her to switch it on. While he didn’t directly ask for any personal details, it was certainly suspicious and likely just the beginning of something nefarious! Luckily, our Mum is no whizz with technology and sensibly told him she’d have her children call back instead.

Once again, I encountered an identical scenario! A call from a lady with an Asian accent, claiming our computer was on the brink of a crash unless we granted their so-called technical support access. They claimed to represent Sky. I managed to get a return number from her, which started with 0292. After running a virus scan and thoroughly inspecting my PC, I didn’t find anything amiss. I decided to do a bit of digging online and stumbled upon your site. This definitely felt like a poorly veiled scam attempt. Everybody, stay vigilant!

In the past three weeks, we've received a staggering 20 calls from this number. It genuinely appeared that the callers were quite believable, especially since we've encountered some issues with our laptops at home. Hence, we're quite relieved that we refrained from disclosing any details, as we weren't entirely convinced.

I received a similar call this evening, where the caller claimed to be from Microsoft regarding a virus scan, asserting that my computer had files infected with viruses. They provided the same number and urged me to call back urgently. The person on the line identified themselves as Kathleen Brown. What a farce!

Received a couple of calls from this number. It appears they're trying to coax us into accessing Teamviewer.com. We're quite convinced their next move is to gain remote access to our computer. Let's just say, I made it abundantly clear to them that we weren't interested and told them to leave us be!

We received a call from this number, claiming there was a problem with our computer files and urging us to switch it on. We were a bit sceptical, so we asked for a callback number, as their spiel seemed rather fishy. It felt like they were just reciting a script, and the moment we started probing further, the caller seemed flustered and didn't quite know how to respond.

Oh, it's strikingly similar to what others have mentioned, but my encounter was with a chap named Richard who claimed to be from technical support. He had quite a pronounced foreign accent. Could it be that they're scammers? We reached out to BT, and they had no record of this call, suggesting we conduct our own virus check and made it clear that their technical team wouldn't be able to tell us if we had a virus or not. Honestly, why can't some folks just make a living in a proper way these days?

We had a conversation with "Hazel" as well, and it was remarkably similar to yours. He firmly claimed that we are with a different internet service provider than we actually are. He mentioned he was based in London, but we couldn’t quite pinpoint his exact location. Feeling rather uneasy, we took down his number and assured him that we would ring back once we had verified his legitimacy with our ISP. After checking, we found out that there’s no connection to them whatsoever and they never share customer details. “Hazel”, if you're reading this, don’t bother trying to reach out again; you won’t be hearing from us.

This experience mirrored numerous others I've encountered before. A call came through from a foreign-sounding woman named "Jenifer," claiming there were issues with our computer and that they were here to assist. However, when I inquired about the specifics of the alleged problems, she couldn’t provide any coherent answers. The moment I probed further, her tone shifted, becoming rather aggressive, especially when I asked for a direct contact at BT to clarify matters. It's high time these scams were put to rest, as individuals lacking technical know-how could easily be taken in by such tactics!

We recently received a call from this number, claiming to be from the computer technical team at BT in Cardiff. A chap on the line told us that our computer had a virus and urged us to switch it on so they could assist with removing it. Honestly, it all feels rather dodgy to me!
