Phone number ☎️ 001222330131 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance call originating from a scam operation falsely claiming to represent Microsoft. Callers often allege urgent issues such as computer viruses or hacking attempts, attempting to gain remote access or personal information. Many recipients report abusive, rude, or threatening behaviour when challenged or refused cooperation. Calls may occur at various times, including early mornings and late evenings, and sometimes involve silent or dropped calls. Despite repeated complaints and registration with the Telephone Preference Service, unwanted calls continue unabated. Users are strongly advised not to engage, never provide personal details or remote access, and to block the number. Microsoft does not initiate such unsolicited support calls, and these contacts should be regarded as fraudulent and reported to relevant authorities.

9 yearsReceived a call with no response on the other end. Not impressed at all!10 yearsGot loads of calls non stop from 01222330131, all looks like some kinda Microsoft scam. Proper annoying!Microsoft10 yearsCalls keep coming from 001222330131 and it's really frustrating. I usually don’t pick up since I can see who's calling, but they ring at all sorts of hours, like super early or really late at night. Surely there’s a way to stop these annoying calls?10 yearsFraud alert! This lot will seize control of your computer and demand a ransom. Seriously, just ask them if their parents would be proud of their thieving ways - it's quite the conversation starter! You’re nothing but a crook; do the decent thing and find a real job. Best to just hang up, mate. 😉10 yearsSome bloke from India called himself "Mike" pretending to be from Microsoft support about my PC. I told him straight up it was a con, but he kept saying I didn’t understand the situation. When I mentioned I work in cyber security and law, he insisted I wasn’t any sort of expert. I then told him his behaviour was awful and that he was nothing but a fraud.MikeMicrosoft10 yearsSome bloke phoned me saying he was from Microsoft, warning me about a virus on my PC. I just let him go on and on, then I told him what he was saying was rubbish. He didn’t take that well and tried to argue, but as soon as I said I’m a computer tech, he quickly ended the call.Microsoft10 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from Microsoft, warning me my computer had a virus. I just let him go on for a bit before telling him he was talking nonsense. He got a bit annoyed and tried to argue, but as soon as I mentioned I work in IT, he suddenly ended the call.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be Microsoft. Definitely a scam - Microsoft wouldn’t be ringing me out of the blue like that!Microsoft10 yearsSome bloke called Peter claimed he was with Microsoft, but I told him I don’t own a computer. He tried again, saying I must have a laptop. I just told him bye and called him a scammer.PeterMicrosoft10 yearsSomeone rang, but there was a right old pause of nearly ten seconds before they spoke, just a background hum of a call centre. What a numpty!10 yearsGot a call about 4:30pm on 8th August 2016. Right when I picked up, they just dropped the call straight away. This has happened to me more than once now and it’s pretty annoying to get interrupted like that. I seem to remember one time they might have been asking something about a computer, but I honestly can’t remember the number that rang me.10 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone saying there was an issue with my Microsoft Windows PC. I told them I don't even use Windows, and they just kept calling me a liar. I tried explaining again but their response was just, "Why are you lying?" Honestly, what’s the deal with these calls anyway?10 yearsI got a phone call earlier from an individual claiming to be from Microsoft, warning me that my computer was at risk of being hacked. When I pressed her for more details about the information she purportedly possessed, she abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!Microsoft10 yearsThe caller just kept hacking away without uttering a single word! How strange!10 yearsJust got a call a minute ago. After a quick silence, a strong Indian accent said, "Hi, this is Microsoft, we're calling about your PC." I replied that my computer’s fine and then said goodbye before cutting them off. I’d label this one as risky because there are too many people who might fall for it.Microsoft10 yearsI've had a rather similar experience to what others have shared. A woman with an accent from the Indian subcontinent called, claiming to be from Microsoft Technology. She introduced herself with a distinctly British name and informed me that there was an alleged hacking attempt on my computer that she could supposedly resolve. I've received multiple calls from different firms and decided to verify with Microsoft directly; they confirmed they do not conduct unsolicited calls to their customers at any time.Microsoft TechnologyMicrosoft10 yearsI received a couple of calls on the 1st of July, 2016, supposedly from Microsoft, claiming there was an issue with my computer. After realising it was a load of nonsense-since my machine was perfectly fine-I requested to have my phone number removed from their call list. Quite annoying, I must say, that they kept bothering me!Microsoft10 yearsI received a rather alarming call from this number, claiming there was an issue with my computer. As soon as I caught on to the fact that it was a scam, the caller unexpectedly inquired about my age. When I pressed him for a reason, he threateningly replied that he would "do me in." It was a shocking and quite invasive experience.10 yearsI keep receiving persistent calls from this number claiming to be Microsoft. The customer service was shocking; when I raised my concerns, the person on the line quite rudely told me to "bugger off"! How unprofessional!Microsoft10 yearsGot a call on June 2nd from someone claiming my computer was hacked. I told them they were wrong if they thought I was that clueless! Then I just hung up.10 yearsWhenever I get a call from an unknown number, I just answer with "Security office" and it always seems to do the trick.10 yearsGot a call this morning around 8.40 claiming to be from Microsoft. Told them it was ridiculous to ring so early and that I don’t even own a computer, then just hung up. I've gone ahead and blocked that number now.Microsoft10 yearsOn the 5th of May 2016 around 10:14 in the morning, I got a call from 001222330131. This bloke said he was ringing from Microsoft and claimed there was an issue with my computer that needed fixing. I told him flat out it was a scam - Microsoft wouldn’t bother calling people like that, never mind helping out. Honestly, I said they wouldn’t cross the road to help me, even if I was on fire! He replied saying I must have watched too many films. I shot back, “Yeah, you were the lead actor alright, but definitely didn’t get good reviews!”Microsoft10 yearsIt appears your system has alerted us to a potential security breach. Kindly power on your computer... If you mention utilizing anything else, they abruptly end the conversation. 00122233013110 yearsHad a call around 2.15 this afternoon, some bloke claiming my computer was hacked. I just told him to stop talking nonsense and hung up straight away.10 yearsGot a call from this number around 8.10 this morning. My missus was about to answer it, but I told her to ignore it as I thought it might be one of those scams. I later checked the number online and ended up blocking it straight away. If these lot are pretending to be from Microsoft, don’t fall for it. I’d suggest anyone getting calls like that just block ’em immediately. Seriously, if your computer does have a problem, you’d take it to the shop you bought it from or a local repairer instead of answering random calls.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call about my "computer being broken" the other day. It was 21st April 2016, just before 10 in the morning, UK time. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.10 yearsRang me at half eight this morning but didn’t utter a word on the line.10 yearsGot a call today from this number, claiming to be from Microsoft. When my mum told them it was obviously a scam, the caller got really aggressive and said they'd come over and kill her. We've already reported it to the police and fraud department. Proper scary stuff.MicrosoftPoliceFraud Office10 yearsToday, I received a phone call from this number while I was in the UK. A chap named "David" claimed to be from Microsoft’s technical support, asserting he needed to discuss my computer issues. I quickly smelt a rat and informed him that I believed it was a scam. I made it clear that I wasn’t interested and promptly ended the call.UKDavidMicrosoft10 yearsSome bloke named "David" rang claiming to be from Microsoft’s tech team, saying there was an issue with my PC. I just told him it was a load of rubbish and ended the call straight away.Microsoft10 yearsSome bloke called Albert, said he was from Windows or something, I told him I ain't got a computer and he just cut the call.Albert10 yearsI received a call from someone named Aimee at half-past eight in the morning, claiming that I had been hacked and that she was representing Microsoft. She insisted she was an engineer and that my computer had somehow reported a breach. Naturally, I was quite sceptical and asked her for more information about her credentials. She stated she was working for Microsoft, supposedly based in London with the head office in the United States. Yet, her accent was distinctly Chinese, and the background noise was eerily quiet, which struck me as odd! After a while, she seemed to lose patience and then handed the call over to a chap named John Davis, who introduced himself as a senior engineer at Microsoft, with an employee number of MA0251-yet again, the same Asian accent. He provided me with a different number to return the call when I pressed for clarity-02032393351. I told them to ring me back in an hour while I did some digging online (total SCAM!!!) It’s clear that Microsoft does not initiate calls like this or employ third parties to reach out to individuals.AimeeMicrosoftLondonUnited StatesJohn Davis10 yearsGot a call from 001222330131 claiming to be from Microsoft. I told them I was recording everything and would be reporting it to the authorities. They just shrugged it off, saying they hadn’t done anything illegal.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from some Microsoft lot, sounded like a total scam. Once I mentioned I use a Mac, they suddenly lost interest. Proper annoying!Microsoft10 yearsJust like the others mentioned here, this was definitely a scam call from some computer fraudsters. I caught wind of this from a Radio 4 programme and it followed the exact same script - claiming to be from Microsoft. When I called them out and said it was a scam, the guy got really upset and kept repeating, "What do you mean, what do you mean?" Couldn’t have had a worse phone manner if they tried! The voice was exactly like the recording from that Radio 4 episode, equally cheeky and impolite. No way am I answering them again - is there a way to report these pests to the police?Radio 4Microsoft11 yearsRinged me at 8:45 and when I asked what company they were ringing from, they said some place based in London. When I pressed them a bit more, they got rude and then just cut me off.London11 yearsBeware of fake Microsoft support calls. Never let them get into your computer or hand over any personal information. Honestly, if they actually had any real info apart from your phone number, they wouldn’t just tell you to “buzz off” when you ask them to prove who they are, would they? For a proper idea of what these scammers get up to, just look up "Malwarebytes tech support scam" on YouTube. You’ll see them pulling the same trick on a pro working in Cyber Security at Malwarebytes itself!MicrosoftYouTubeCyber SecurityMalwarebytes11 yearsMy landline’s been getting constant calls from this number. Luckily, I have a phone with a call blocker, so they can’t actually get through. They’ve rang me about 4 times just today, and probably close to 25 times over the past few weeks. It’s honestly just harassment at this point. I really think everyone should get a phone with call blocking, where callers have to say who they are before you decide whether to pick up. Since I got mine, the phone barely rings now - almost 90% fewer calls. The ones I do get are actual people I want to talk to.11 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support. They insisted I turn on my PC right away. Then they started shouting, saying my IP had been cracked and if I didn’t act fast, Microsoft would block my programs. I asked if they could ring back later since I finish work at 5pm, but they said they only work till 3pm. When I explained that, they began yelling at me saying my computer won’t work unless I boot it now. Eventually they hung up on me when they noticed I wasn’t falling for their nonsense. Total SCAM.Microsoft11 yearsReceived a rather dodgy call earlier today from someone claiming to be "Microsoft." I certainly let them have it-didn't hold back! Now, I'm left pondering if they might retaliate by sneaking something malicious onto my computer? Just a thought. Cheers, John.MicrosoftJohn11 yearsThis number has called me loads over the last few days. When I finally picked up, the person said they were from Microsoft. I told them I’m on the Telephone Preference Service, so they really shouldn’t be ringing me, and the caller got quite rude about it.MicrosoftTelephone Preference Service11 yearsI've been receiving calls from a woman with an accent, claiming there’s an urgent issue with my Windows system. It's obviously a scam! They've been ringing me at all hours, often without a sound, and other times they just click in and recite the same line. It’s incredibly frustrating!11 yearsI got a call from someone named "Albert" who said he was from Microsoft, but it was pretty clear it was a scam.AlbertMicrosoft11 yearsCon artists! They’re feigning the ability to 'repair' my infected computer that’s been compromised by a virus. They just won’t take no for an answer!11 yearsFor the past few days, I’ve been getting calls twice daily. Since I have caller ID, I usually just don’t answer. They never bother leaving a message on my voicemail either.11 yearsGot a call from some guy claiming to be Brian Casper from "Microsoft". He said my PC was riddled with viruses and that he could turn it off remotely because my Microsoft account was apparently corrupted. Then he got all rude, asking why I was "vexed" and telling me not to whine to Microsoft if my computer acts up. Such brilliant customer care, right? Absolute joke and a total scam! Don’t fall for it, it’s definitely fake!Brian CasperMicrosoft11 yearsReceived a silent call earlier. I could just make out some faint breathing for roughly half a minute before the line dropped. It's certainly not the first time this has happened.11 yearsI keep getting calls from someone pretending to be Microsoft, but I don’t have a PC at all! They’re really quite pushy and rude about it too.Microsoft11 yearsThey claimed to be from Microsoft - total scam!Microsoft11 yearsGot a couple of calls from this number, normally around 7:30 or 8 in the morning. I told whoever it was they must be joking and just ended the call!11 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from Microsoft, but I’m convinced it was just a scam trying to trick me into letting them control my computer remotely.Microsoft11 yearsI had a call that claimed to be from Microsoft earlier today. It took a rather aggressive turn when I questioned their legitimacy. Quite unpleasant, really.Microsoft11 yearsPicked up the phone and all I could hear was a crazy laugh before the caller just ended the call!11 yearsReceived calls from this number since the 4th of February 2016. They tend to ring rather early and disturb our sleep. When we answer, there's nobody on the line, and the call hangs up straight away. Is there any way to put an end to this nuisance?11 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be Steve from Microsoft, telling me my PC was riddled with viruses. Instantly knew it was dodgy. This number’s been calling me about six times now. I've started messing them about, and they’re not happy - got pretty rude on me.SteveMicrosoft11 yearsYesterday I had a call from what looked like an international number. I usually just don’t bother answering those as they come through so often.11 yearsI got a call from this number while I was out yesterday, and then it called me back today. I picked up but only heard a dialling tone. Not too sure about a 001 number, it's a bit sus.Submit Your Own Report (222330131)
