Reports on phone number 002032878983
10 yearsDefinitely a con.10 yearsWe ignore this number every time it shows up. They tend to call around lunchtime and then again late afternoon, about 4.30 or 5. It's really irritating.10 yearsI received a phone call today, which was the third time this week. Usually, there would just be some music playing and then they would hang up. However, today was different. A woman with an Indian or Pakistani accent told me that my computer's license would expire tomorrow and she threatened to shut it down. I decided to play dumb and waste her time for a while. But then, I couldn't hold back my frustration any longer and unleashed a barrage of insults about her parentage and other offensive remarks. Eventually, she hung up, hopefully having learned some new English words in the process! I've reached a point where I no longer engage politely with these scammers. Instead, I choose to respond with hostility.10 yearsGot a call from someone named William today saying my computer license was being cancelled. I calmly let him know exactly where he could shove it.William10 yearsGot a call today from yet another William! Claimed he was from the Computer Licensing Company and asked if I knew I’d cancelled my licence. I told him it was a scam and not to bother ringing me again, but I’m pretty sure he’ll just keep trying.WilliamComputer Licensing Company10 yearsThey rang me earlier but all I could hear was blasting music. Ended up just hanging up on them!10 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady saying my computer was gonna be shut down permanently. Complete rubbish, obviously a scam. I just replied with "Alright" and ended the call. Didn’t want to waste my time messing about with her :P10 yearsThe guy had a strong Asian accent, claiming to be from some IT firm about my computer. When I told him I dont own a computer he seemed proper puzzled. Honestly, never ever share anything with these sorts of calls. Just a total scam.10 yearsGot a few calls from some asian sounding blokes and one woman. They kept telling me to switch on my computer cos there was some sort of problem. Being a woman myself, I held back from what I really wanted to say. Just told them I didn’t buy it for a second and ended the call!10 yearsThe music plays thrice, each time for a duration of 5 seconds, and is followed by a "thank you" message and the sound of a click.10 yearsCaller from Gambia, definitely a con!10 yearsThis number has been persistently calling my landline! I choose not to pick up, and they never bother to leave a voicemail - what a bother!10 yearsGot a call from some asian bloke claiming to be William (which was obviously a made up name) saying my computer licence was going to run out soon. Told him straight up this was a load of rubbish and not to bother wasting my time. Hope no one falls for this nonsense.William10 yearsThis bloke keeps phoning my old mum, like once or twice every day. She’s smart enough to just hang up, but why do they keep buzzin’? The number shows up as coming from Egypt or something. Proper annoying.Egypt10 yearsI have nfi what this bloke was on about but it was clear as day it wasnt a legit call. His accent seemed African or something.10 yearsWow, this number has rung me at least a dozen times since it first showed up on my caller ID a couple of weeks ago! I've got BT Call Guardian set up on my phone, so I blocked it straight away. It's mad that they keep calling even though they keep getting the message: “Calls to this number are being screened by BT Call Guardian, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up.”BT Call Guardian10 yearsGot a call from a man called Alec, seemed like he was saying my computer needed some kind of licence. I told him straight it was a scam and that I would be telling the police, which I did. It’s sad cause older folks might actually believe them.Alec10 yearsEvery day, I get at least one call from this foreign number. It's clearly visible on my caller ID, but I never answer it since my voicemail is always activated. It's incredibly frustrating, especially because I work night shifts and have no idea how to report or block this extremely bothersome number. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it! 😊10 yearsI couldnt really catch what the bloke was going on about but pretty clear it wasnt a legit call. He had an African accent or something like that.10 yearsGot a call from a friendly Indian woman saying my PC was under attack from hackers in China. I said thanks for the heads up and mentioned I'd ring the cops right away. She hung up straight away after that! Bit of a shame, we were chatting nicely. Anyway, I've popped the number straight into my call blocker now.IndiaChina10 yearsI received a call from a woman with an Indian/Pakistani accent who claimed that my computer was sending donations abroad. She threatened to shut down my PC permanently if I didn't let her fix it. However, I was skeptical and promptly ended the call. Just recently, I had a similar experience from a different number: 009073554434. The caller supposedly represented BT. It seems like these scam calls keep coming in every week, and they originate from various sources.BT10 yearsGot a call from an Indian woman saying my computer was hacked and people all over the world were using my PC license. She gave me a code to enter on my computer. Since I’ve been having issues with my PC lately, I just unplugged it for now and am gonna run a full scan to check everything out.10 yearsThe telephone keeps ringing promptly after 9am every day. I am unable to comprehend the dialogue of the person on the other end.10 yearsBeware of scammers who deliberately pretend to be foolish and attempt to deceive innocent individuals. It is imperative that you refrain from following any instructions they provide regarding your computer.10 yearsCalling consistently10 yearsSo tired of these idiots ringing my mum and annoying her all the time!!!10 yearsThese people rang me claiming there was something wrong with my computer or whatever. I told them straight up they were a bunch of con artists. Then the next week, they called again, so I reminded the guy they’d already bothered me once and told him he should feel guilty and find an honest job instead of scamming others. I even said I hoped his mum was embarrassed by what he’s doing. Guess that’s why they keep annoying me!10 yearsFraudsters for sure!10 yearsSaid he was from Digital Network Server. I just told him I wasn’t interested and hung up straight away.Digital Network Services10 yearsThis number calls me almost twice a day. Luckily, I've got a BT Guardian phone (pretty decent) that blocks them. Still, they keep calling!BT Guardian10 yearsI've received a few calls from them before, usually hanging up right away. However, this time I decided to ask for their name. They identified themselves as "Digital Network Solver." When I asked for their contact number, the person on the other end replied with a rather peculiar question, "Are you searching for it on Google?" I honestly replied that I was planning to do so shortly. To my surprise, the person responded threateningly, saying, "You won't be able to do that because I'm going to shut down your computer"! Amused by such absurdity, I simply responded with "Enjoy yourself" and promptly ended the call.Digital NetworkGoogle10 yearsDefinitely a scam caller. Checked the details here on this site. For anyone getting repeated calls from this number, I’ve been using the BT8500 phone with tru-call for more than 2 years and haven’t had any dodgy calls come through - it blocks them right away.10 yearsGot a call from some Indian bloke trying to convince me my computer’s got a virus.10 yearsI usually don’t pick up when this number rings since it’s obviously not from the UK, but they keep calling like twice every single day. Properly frustrating.UK10 yearsI came across a scam regarding my Microsoft account, where the scammers claimed that it had been hacked and was making donations to China. Interestingly, the scammers had some inaccurate information about me and went as far as threatening to permanently shut down my computer. Their next move was to convince me to log on to my computer so they could guide me through fixing the supposed issue. I managed to keep one of the scammers on the phone for a while, prompting him to transfer me to his supervisor. However, the supervisor only repeated the same false information before I ended the call. It was evident that both individuals were males of Asian descent working in a call centre.MicrosoftChina10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with the Digital Computer Network, I told him that didnt make sense coz thats just something inside the computer. He goes "listen to me listen to me" and said he didnt like my tone. Told him straight up never to call me again.Digital Computer Network10 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke named William claiming to be from computer licensing. I told him to stop calling but they just keep ringing!William10 yearsJust like the others, said their computer got hacked in China, got all mixed up when I asked for some sort of payout! This number keeps buzzing me non stop for weeks, really irritating.China10 yearsSome bloke said he was a tech support from Microsoft, total con job.Microsoft10 yearsI am completely annoyed by this repetitive and consistent phone call I receive on a daily basis.10 yearsI find it very upsetting when they repeatedly call me every day.10 years002032878983, just like everyone else here, total computer scam. They call every single day, but I only picked up the first time today. The guy started talking about my computer having issues, i told him thats odd coz its not even on, then he just hung up. Bet they’ll keep calling anyway.10 yearsGot another one of those silent calls on my home phone today. The number looked familiar, so I just left the handset near the telly till the buzzing noise started.10 yearsGot calls like this 2 or 3 times each day. A rude bloke with a foreign accent who uses a bunch of different English names. Sometimes the calls are just dead silent, then they say my licence will be taken away and I’m being hacked from China. Definitely a scam. Make sure you report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or visit www.actionfraud.police.ukChinaAction Fraud10 yearsThey keep ringing me everyday! So frustrating!10 yearsI managed to keep them talking for 11 whole minutes. It was pretty entertaining until the woman got so baffled she just hung up on me lol. This is the second time they've rung; first time I got just over 3 minutes out of them.10 yearsSaw this number pop up yesterday with no one speaking. I just left the phone next to the telly and walked away!10 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke saying my computer licence was expired. I told him yeah, I knew. He paused for a bit then asked if I knew what could happen because of it. I said of course I did. He kept going on but I just wasn’t bothered so ended up hanging up. Total scam.10 yearssuch a hassle to deal with!10 yearsI just got silence when I answered, so I waited until I could hear mumbling from the other side of the kitchen.10 yearsGot a call saying my computer licence was about to run out, asked if I was aware. The person sounded Indian or Asian. I told them it was a total scam and they just ended the call. They rang back but stayed quiet then hung up straight away. I really don’t get why these scammers are still allowed to mess with people. Surely there must be loads of complaints about this number, so why don’t the authorities step in and stop it?10 yearsThey ring me a couple times every day but dont bother leaving a message. Ive blocked the number now.10 yearsI am receiving continuous calls without any actual conversation taking place. These calls persistently continue and it is a request to cease them immediately.10 yearsSome bloke rang up saying my Windows licence was at risk. I told him I’m a senior IT guy at a big tech firm and have been in IT for 15 years. I admire his persistence because he just didn’t quit. I even said I was deliberately keeping him on the line so he couldn't phone anyone else. Each time he tried to hang up, I just pushed him more with some sarcasm till, after 26 minutes and 44 seconds, he gave up and hung up. Scammer: Time is money, you're wasting mine. Me: Yeah, I know! I’m on call and getting paid to chat about tech with someone who knows less than me, so carry on!Scammer10 yearsI'm following close behind, lads, and I've got my sights on you. I'm on my way, fully aware of your identity and whereabouts. Brace yourselves for my arrival.10 yearsSome bloke called himself Tom and said my computer was getting hacked. I said someone rang last year saying exactly the same thing, and I passed on what my grandson told him back then - "find a real job and have some dignity."Tom10 yearsSuffering from severe illness, kindly refrain from further communication.10 yearsMy dad is 86 and suffers from Alzheimer's, and this lot keeps ringing him every few weeks saying there's something wrong with his computer and asking for his bank details. When he says he doesn't own a computer, the bloke on the phone calls him a liar and swears at him. This needs to be put to an end - it’s really upsetting my parents.10 yearsGot a call earlier today from an Asian bloke saying my computer licence had issues. I asked him where he was ringing from, sounded like Cambridge maybe! I reckon he could tell I didn’t buy what he was saying, cuz he just ended the call.Cambridge10 yearsGot a call just now from an Asian bloke, same as others mentioned here. He claimed my PC was hacked by folks in China and Russia. Said if I didn't enter some lengthy code he gave me, my computer would get shut off. Said it was my last warning or something. The guy sounded a bit pushy, and when I had a laugh and called it a scam, he hung up on me pretty sharpish.ChinaRussia10 yearssomebody phoned me today sayin my computer was being controlled by hackers and it needed shutting down, i told the bloke i didnt know any hackers and they sound like dodgy people lol i had a laugh messin with him till i got bored just kept him chattin to waste his time and cash10 yearsReally irritating and could be quite risky scam. You can find plenty of details just by searching on Google.Google10 yearsThey keep ringing non-stop, like up to 12 calls in a single day! Me and my partner are both disabled and its really really frustrating!10 yearsI keep getting these calls all the time, but whoever’s ringing me just hits my answerphone. If I get fed up deleting all the messages, I just unplug the phone, simple as that ;-)10 yearsJust like the others here, I tell them to take my number off their stupid list (even though I know they probably won’t) and then I hang up. I’ve blocked them on my phone now.10 yearsNUMBER: 002032878983, does anyone actually believe this nonsense?? He rang saying my Microsoft licence was about to be cancelled, and I won’t even repeat what I told him!!Microsoft10 yearsI am constantly receiving phone calls from these individuals three times a day, and it is truly distressing.10 yearsGot a call from Egypt out of nowhere!! Not picking up, gotta be dodgy!! Blocked straight away!!Egypt10 yearsGot three calls from a bloke named 'Alan' sayin' he was with some licence dept for my PC, and then there were two quick hang-ups from this same number in just a couple of days. I told him straight he’s a scammer and I’m reporting him to Action Fraud. TPS doesn't seem to do anything about these kinda calls.AlanAction FraudTelephone Preference Service10 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from Microsoft, said there was an issue with my PC! I could hear kids laughing in the background - he said they were his team. Pretty obvious they were just kids though.Microsoft10 yearsI received a call from a rather assertive young man with an Asian accent. He wanted to inquire about my lack of response to several emails regarding a Microsoft license. I informed him that I had no evidence of his identity or origin, and furthermore, I do not utilize Microsoft products. It appeared that he was a bit perplexed by this response and seemed unaware of alternative operating systems. Eventually, he ended the call.Microsoft10 yearsDefinitely a scam, they claimed my computer licence had issues. I told the bloke to never call me again and just hung up on him.10 years002032878983 Got a call from someone claiming to be from computer licensing, total scam alright. Best to report it to Action Fraud straight away.Action Fraud10 yearsLol i kept them on the line for about 14 minutes! Then i finally told them i worked in the met police computer fraud unit and was recording the call while tracing their number (i can fib too) and called him out as a scammer haha He tried to argue back but just ended up hanging up! HahaMetropolitan Police10 yearsthey ring me every day from 002032878983, mostly they just hang up or stay silent - today someone actually talked and claimed they were from computer licensing! my phone cut out cause I know it’s a scam. already sent a report to ofcom about the number.Ofcom10 yearsThis number kept ringing me for ages, so I usually just ignored it. But today I got curious and answered. Some bloke with a foreign accent started spouting the usual stuff others have mentioned here. He threatened to cancel my licence, but I told him I work in IT, which is true. After that, he got really rude. I told him straight up it was a scam and to quit calling me, but he didn’t want to hear it, so I just ended the call.10 yearsGot a call from a guy sounding like he was in a busy office, saying I had hundreds of pop-ups about my computer licence. Didn’t like it when I questioned him - got proper annoyed. I asked which computer he was talking about, but he couldn’t give a clear answer. When I mentioned my husband’s worked in IT for 30 years, he seemed a bit rattled, pretended the line went funny, and then just dropped the call. This went way better than the bloke who called my husband last week and got told to buzz off. Pretty sure they’re trying to get remote access or rob money for some dodgy deal!10 yearsI receive at least two calls every day, but when I answer, there is nobody on the other end before they promptly hang up.10 yearsLike others have said, these lot have rung us up four times over the past couple of days. They actually know our names and which broadband company we use. Last week, they asked for me and my husband, and again this morning. I’m just gonna keep telling them to buzz off!10 yearsMy mother, who has recently been involved in a car accident and is currently unwell, received a highly aggressive phone call from individuals attempting to scam her. It is incredibly distressing to see her being subjected to such harassment by these deceitful individuals.10 yearsJust like what others have said, he told me an email was mine but it wasnt even close. Then I googled the area code and it showed Egypt, and the moment I mentioned that to him, he hung up right away.Egypt10 yearsBeware of computer licensing scams! It is essential not to be taken in by their threats. Do not under any circumstances switch on your computer or comply with any instructions they provide, regardless of how forceful or convincing they might appear. Rest assured, your licence cannot be deactivated, and there is no validity to claims that your account is being misused to send fraudulent letters or emails, nor is it being accessed by individuals in China or Australia. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from such deceitful tactics.ChinaAustralia10 yearssome guy with an asian accent called saying my computer would be turned off unless i did exactly what he said, claiming he was just helping me. i played along for a bit, like 5 minutes, then just hung up. he was quite pushy and rude, trying to freak me out into obeying. worried that if he calls someone more vulnerable, they might fall for it. this sort of thing really needs sorting out. the phone number was 002032878983.10 yearsJust like before, I said I ain’t got no computer, and he hung up pretty fast :)10 yearsgot a call earlier from an asian bloke who never gave his name. he said my licence was being used by hackers from china and australia. me and my lad kept him going for about half an hour, playing along with everything he said. then he said he was gonna shut down our computer for 5 years or something. we acted all surprised and then told him to jog on. he just hung up after that. fingers crossed no one falls for his rubbish.ChinaAustralia10 yearsGot a call today, very much like the one described here, about my computer supposedly sending out some sort of begging emails from China. They said if I didn’t switch on my computer and verify my licence number, Microsoft would block us and blacklist us for 5 years. I told them to go ahead and block us, I wasn’t giving them any info. They claimed they sent 15 messages, but kept changing their story. The woman’s name was Sam. Be careful, I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. They even asked if we used online banking, which made me even more suspicious. Wonder what their endgame is.ChinaMicrosoftSam10 yearsSome bloke said he was from an internet provider and that my PC had been hacked from China, I just told him to jog on.China10 yearsGot a ring from this number saying my computer’s licence was about to expire today. I told em that computers don’t need licences and that I’m an IT engineer. Then the line just went dead. Bet they were trying to get me to download some rubbish to “fix” a problem that’s not even real.Submit Your Own Report (03 2878983)
