Phone number ☎️ 0015185550103 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call originating from international numbers with callers mostly speaking in Indian or Asian accents, falsely claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows tech support. Callers often know the recipient’s name or address but push to gain remote access to computers under the pretext of fixing errors or viruses. Many report aggressive or abusive behaviour when challenged, with a strong intent to deceive and steal personal information. Users have found that pretending ignorance or engaging the caller without complying wastes their time effectively. The calls cause annoyance, suspicion, and fear, especially among older people, and majority agree the number is linked to fraudulent activity and should not be trusted.
Reports on phone number 0015185550103
9 yearsGot a call today, they asked for me by my last name but when I asked who it was, the phone just got cut off. Didn’t sound like the usual Indian accent, more like an Aussie one? Strange.10 yearsAbout half a year ago, we got calls like this and now they're back again. Best thing is to just ignore them or say you haven't got a computer - it totally confuses them and stops their usual script.10 yearsgot a call just now. they asked if i was mrs something, i said no. then asked if i was connected to mrs something, again no. then asked if i owned a computer, i said no. they said their records show it’s my computer. i told them i dont have one, never even used one. then they just hung up on me.10 yearsGot a call from some dodgy bloke with an Asian accent today. I stayed on the phone for about ten minutes just to stop him bothering anyone else. You gotta string them along tho, coz they’re quick to hang up if you make it too obvious. Just play dumb and pretend, but for God’s sake, don’t punch in any codes they ask for. Mess about with ‘em a bit and save someone else from getting hassled.10 yearsGot a bloke from Pakistan saying he was from Windows. This has happened loads of times over the last few weeks, now it's almost every day. Just today, I told him more than 15 times to stop calling and take me off their list, and he actually threatened to come round to my place and ### me?? Unreal!10 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent rang me, claiming my Windows PC was having issues. They're just after taking control of your computer to nick your personal info. I've got a CPR call blocker from eBay, and if you get these dodgy callers, there's a massive red button to press that stops that number from ever ringing you again. Honestly, it's pretty satisfying to use it.10 yearsThis number rang me on Thursday morning at about 11. My BT8500 wouldn’t show who it was so I just blocked the call and looked up the number later. Gotta say, BT always comes through for me.BT10 yearsI didnt know the number so I just let it ring and go to voicemail. After looking it up here, I’m happy I didnt pick up. The call came thru at about 11.20 on 24th Nov 2016.10 years14/11/16 at 1426, got a call from a bloke claiming to be from Windows, saying my PC had a virus. He asked me to switch on the computer but I was suspicious. Asked for his number to ring back, but he hung up straight away. BT callback showed the same number. Phone screen said INTERNET. Sounds like a scam trying to get me to turn the computer on for dodgy reasons. He knew my name (though I never confirmed it) and my postcode too. Then another call at 1510 from the same source. Screen again showed INTERNET, but I ended the call quickly.BT10 yearsGot a call from someone speaking with an Indian accent claiming to be Microsoft support, spouting the same old rubbish. This was around 10:15 am UK time on 19th October 2016. I just left the phone next to the radio - hope they found it entertaining!Microsoft10 yearsThey used the same old line about being a microsoft expert and something wrong with my computer or whatever. Problem is, I dont got a computer so it was clearly a scam. I just hung up. They tried calling again but I didnt pick up.Microsoft10 yearsReceived a call from this number earlier, starts with 00 so it’s definitely international. Same old story, something wrong with my computer and they offered to fix a virus. Got scammed by these lot before, more frustrated at myself than them. They even knew my exact address! Told the caller straight away I’d fallen for their scam previously and that the police are looking into their phone number. Not surprised they carried on anyway. Once bitten, twice shy for sure!10 yearsGot a couple of calls from this number earlier. I didn’t even answer once I heard the noisy background. Seriously, why isn’t there anything done to stop this rubbish?10 yearsThis number just rang me. I quickly pressed the red button on my CPR call blocker and only just managed to hear his voice. He sounded Asian, but I didn’t let him past asking for my name.10 yearsJust got a ring from 0015185550103, sounded like some bloke from India or Pakistan (and before anyone starts, just check the Pakistan site yourself). Same old rubbish about fixing my computer. Ended up swearing at him and telling him he deserved a bullet, felt good to get it off my chest!IndiaPakistan10 yearsSome bloke from India called but said his name was Peter Lewis. He even knew my computer's serial number - total scam if you ask me.Peter Lewis10 yearsA guy with kind of an Indian accent. He got really annoyed when I didn't turn on my computer like he told me to.10 yearsDefinitely a scammer. When I called them out, they just hung up straight away.10 yearsGot a call from someone saying my computer was sending out warnings - funny thing is, I’ve been in IT for over three decades, long before PCs were what they are now. I listened to the whole spiel just to tell him off at the end, and then he just hung up. Marked this as risky because a lot of older folks might just give these con artists their bank info. They’re nothing but scammers, and sadly, the authorities here in the UK don’t seem to care about stopping them!UK10 yearsI used to get tons of scam calls all the time, but since I got call guardian it’s been brilliant. It blocks them right away and tells the caller to just hang up. Best thing I’ve ever done.Call Guardian10 yearsGot a call from some Indian bloke asking if I was Mr [my surname]. He claimed to be from the "Computer Maintanence team at Windows tech support". I asked him what version of Windows I had. He just kept going on about my computer showing errors and warnings. I told him he’d only know that if he was actually bloody Microsoft, then I slammed the phone down.Computer Maintenance divisionMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from a strange number I didn't recognise. I checked my old phone book and theres no country code like 00 1 51 or anything like that, so I figured it was probably spoofed (unless some new country popped up or somethin). Cheers for all the reports here, definitely sounds like it's just a bunch of cheats and dodgy scammers.10 yearsGot a call from a man with an Indian accent who claimed there was something wrong with my computer - I told him I never asked for any help and that what he was saying was nonsense - hung up on him - he rang back straight away so I just repeated myself and ended the call again.10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me now and then. It was some bloke from India, and I just played along until I got fed up, then let him know exactly what I felt about it all. There’s gotta be some way to deal with these kinds of calls, right?!10 yearsGot a call from this number about 30 minutes ago. It was an Asian guy calling himself Mark. Same kinda problem as others mentioned here. He was pretty pushy while talking, and when I asked him to email me the details about what people were supposedly having issues with on my computer, he started to sound irritated. I told him I wasn’t comfortable with the call and just hung up.Mark10 yearsGot a call from some bloke from India saying my computer had issues. I played along, making out I was booting it up, then told him it was slow cause it’s an old machine. I kept him hanging again saying I was waiting for the APPLE logo to pop up, and he still didn’t catch on that I was onto his scam. After a while I just left the phone on the table while he kept asking if I was there. Felt good knowing I wasted his time, kept it going for like 15 minutes! Haha!APPLE10 yearsJust got a call from 0015185550103, a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be from Windows. She told me my computer had some errors. I told her my computer wasn’t even on, but she insisted it’s been going on for a month now. I figured it was dodgy, said I’d get in touch with Microsoft directly, and she hung up.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call this morning from an Asian bloke who called me Mr Wxxx, but actually I’m Mr Rxxxx. My wife’s surname is Wxxx, so that made me a bit wary straight away. He said there was some urgent security problem with my Windows account, but since the computer and software are registered under Rxxxx and not Wxxx, I knew straight away it was dodgy. These scammers are the worst, trying to scam pensioners out of their money. Luckily I’ve got solid security systems from trusted companies, which is probably why they used the landline to try their luck.WxxxRxxxx10 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke this morning, claimed he was from Windows computer support. I told him straight he was making it up and he ought to feel bad for trying to scam folks. He then called me dumb and began getting nasty, but I just kept saying he should be ashamed till he finally ended the call.10 yearsI just ignored the call since I didn't know the number. Honestly, the phone companies should really step up and do something about these annoying calls. We can send rockets into space and even snap pics of moving asteroids, but somehow these spam calls keep on coming. Meanwhile, the providers keep raking it in and leaving us stuck with the hassle. Absolute joke.10 yearsJust got a call from 0015185550103, some nonsense about my computer having issues. I hung up right away and checked your site. How are these people even allowed to make these calls? Properly scared me for a moment. Cheers for your page helping me see the truth.10 yearsA man with an Indian accent rang me up saying my computer had a virus and he could fix it. I pretended I didn’t know much and he asked me to go onto Google, which I did. Then he told me to download Teamviewer but I said I couldn’t find it because I spelt it wrong - “teamveiwer” instead of teamviewer. Then I said I was already on Google and started telling him the colours of the letters on the page. You could tell he was getting really frustrated with me being slow, and eventually he just hung up.Google10 yearsThis is a total scam, stay away from doing what they tell you. They have zero clue about your computer, and if you follow their instructions, it’ll mess things up badly. After that, they’ll try to charge you loads to sort it out.10 yearsSome bloke called wanting to talk to me, he already knew my surname and claimed it was about issues with my PC. He just dropped the call as soon as I showed I wasn’t buying it.10 yearsGot a call from an asian guy who knew my surname, which ain't too surprising these days with all the data floating around thanks to insurance firms selling info left and right. He claimed to be from Microsoft Windows support saying there was an issue with my PC. I said, "actually, I use a Mac." Without missing a beat, he just hung up. Guess they weren’t fussed about following up. Typical!Microsoft10 yearsThey wanted to speak to my mum by her name, I said she wasn't here and then they just ended the call.11 yearsSo this lady with an Indian accent called me, saying she was from the maintenance team of the company that sold me my Windows PC. I pretty much shouted that I’m 93 years old, don’t own a computer, and these kinds of calls are really getting on my nerves. Then I just hung up.11 yearsI was about to let it ring out to voicemail since we’ve been getting some strange calls recently. But when I finally answered, there was just a recorded voice saying “Goodbye.” The first part of the number showed it was calling from the States. I do call mates over there now and then, but none of the area codes or numbers looked familiar to me.11 yearsSome bloke called Harry rang me from this number, but his accent was seriously thick Indian. He said he worked for a firm that’s partnered with Microsoft and claimed my Windows was sending messages without my permission. He asked to get access to my PC but I told him I wasn’t having any of it and that I’d record the call to show the cops. He just ended the call right then!HarryMicrosoft11 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking with a thick Indian accent, claiming she was from Windows about my PC. She even had my name and postcode. I asked her which computer she meant and why she was making up stories. She didn’t take too kindly to that and told me to “Fxxx off” before hanging up on me - can you believe the nerve?11 yearsI get random calls once in a while, and they keep saying my computer is sending error messages. Since I work in IT, I tell them that, and they just hang up. When I ask for an IP address, it’s clear they have no clue what they’re on about. I always end with telling them to stop calling me.11 yearsThey said theyd report the number to Interpol - as soon as I mentioned it, they just cut the call!Interpol11 yearsThis call woke me up and I wasn’t bothered to answer it. Later on I thought about whether to ring back. The number looked kinda like an international one, but it didn’t match any country codes I know from my old BT Phone Book Companion, so I looked it up here. Big thanks to the people leaving comments and the site owner for keeping this place running.11 yearsLike others said, when I told him I'd ring him back, he just cut me off.11 yearsscam caller - they claim your computer has problems, but it’s all a trick. They try to get remote access to your PC to install dodgy software, then hit you with a big bill! Just ignore and don’t pick up, it’s definitely a scam.11 yearsThis bloke said he was from London but spoke with a thick Indian accent. He called himself Keith and claimed to be from Microsoft UK, saying there was some error on my PC. I told him I wasn’t interested and hung up straight away.LondonKeithMicrosoftUK11 yearsSimilar to some others, I had a call from someone purporting to be from Windows, saying there was an issue with my PC. They seemed a bit thrown when I mentioned I have two broadband lines (one for home, another for work) and asked them which IP was having the fault. After a few mins of them trying hard to persuade me they were legit and me firing off tricky questions, they just dropped the call. Never ever let anyone remotely access your computer - it's definitely a con.11 yearsI actually got a call when my laptop was being fixed and I didnt even have internet at home at the time!11 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady pretending to be from Vindows - or something like that, she couldn't even pronounce Windows properly! I played along like I was interested and kept her chatting for about 10 minutes until she finally twigged I wasn’t a mug. It was quite funny, and at least it stopped her from wasting time pestering others.Vindows11 yearsThey said they were calling from London and that they could display my unique ID. Told me my antivirus wasn’t picking up some nasty viruses on my PC and wanted me to let them take control. Really pushy, but as soon as I asked for their phone number, they just ended the call. Watch out, sounds like a dodgy scam to get into your computer if you let it happen. Be firm and tell them to buzz off, no matter how polite you try to be. The number was 0015185550103.London11 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent who somehow knew my name, which seemed strange since we're unlisted and only moved here about six weeks ago, so hardly anyone must have my number. He was talking like from a script, saying he was from a Window Support centre in London, just like others have mentioned. He went on about some malicious stuff. When I asked for their address, he just cut the call.Windows Support CentreLondon11 yearsGot a call from Carol Williams with an American accent, claimed to be from Windows looking into 'unusual activity' on my PC. She already had my landline and postcode. Played along a bit but didn’t switch my computer on, then just hung up. 524165Carol Williams11 yearsThey said something about my computer, but I wasn’t having any of it. I pulled the phone from my ear and, loud enough for them to hear, told them to buzz off (and that’s me being polite!)11 yearsSomebody rung me up saying they were from Windows, I just told them to jog on.11 yearsThe moment I answered the call, I was greeted by a robotic voice that simply said 'goodbye.' It's evident that this is an automated system, ringing at all the wrong times.11 yearsSomeone pretending to be from Microsoft called and tried to get into my computer. Total scam.Microsoft11 yearsThey said they were from tech support but as soon as I mentioned involving the police, they called me smart and hung up straight away!11 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the London Home Office. They told me my computer was sending out harmful info that was a threat to global security. I had literally just uploaded a pic of my cat on Facebook, so I told them yeah, that must be a huge risk to world peace. This person isn’t just dangerous, they actually broke the law pretending to be a UK Government worker.London Home OfficeFacebookUK11 yearsPut the phone down, I’m not interested in your calls.Submit Your Own Report ((518) 555-0103)
