001222330131 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

Calls 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?

Fraud 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. 😉

Some 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.

Got 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.

Just 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.

I'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.

I 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!

I 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.

On 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!”

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.

I 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.

Just 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?

Beware 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!

My 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.

Got 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.

Got 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!
