How to stop BT/Openreach spoof calls - +44 1269 849892 (01269 849892)

Today, 7/10/15, I received a call from 01269849892. An Asian-sounding man insisted on speaking to my wife. I informed him she wasn’t available and asked what he wanted. Despite telling him my number is ex-directory, he persisted. I warned him not to call again. Clearly scammers.

I made the mistake of answering this call, and after a brief pause, an Indian-sounding man said hello. I immediately hung up on him. I'm eager to file a complaint and put an end to these nuisance calls once and for all.

Whatever the case, i've blocked the number now.

Having just installed skype on my pc, I tested it by ringing my own mobile, and it displayed Ammanford as the location, possibily skype makes calls to mobile or home phones

I’ve received frequent calls from this number over the past three weeks. I usually didn’t answer, but today at 12:40 pm, I did. There was a 5-second silence, then a 'Hello, Aron.' It turned out to be a friend from Australia! I’m unsure what’s going on with this number and whether I should worry.

This phone number appears when I receive calls from acquaintances, or instead of displaying their number, it shows 'no caller ID', even if they haven't selected this option on their phone. The purpose of this is unclear, but it's frustrating and worrying. This issue began on 30th March, around noon.

A woman identifying herself as Jennifer, with an Asian-sounding accent, claimed to be from BT, stating that my computer and service were at risk of being cut off due to a problem. Although I was initially concerned, given my BT broadband account, the tone seemed suspicious, prompting me to hang up and investigate the number online.

Two calls have been received from this number, both of which were met with silence, leading me to suspect that it may be related to PPI - a nuisance, nonetheless.
