005209940056 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 005209940056 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation involving callers claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows support, typically featuring Asian or South Asian accents. These fraudulent calls often warn of computer infections or errors and attempt to guide recipients into allowing remote access or other manipulations. Many target UK residents despite numbers appearing to originate abroad, likely Mexico. Call recipients report aggressive or rude behaviour when challenged or hung up on when questioned. Common advice includes not engaging with the callers, not following any instructions, blocking the numbers when possible, and reporting to official bodies such as the ICO or Action Fraud. The consensus is that genuine Microsoft support does not make unsolicited calls in this manner, so vigilance and caution are recommended.

I almost got caught out by a woman with an Asian accent saying there were loads of problems with my Windows. She was guiding me through stuff I didn’t really get, but as soon as she mentioned getting her manager to help, I just ended the call. Hope I didn’t get sucked into some scam. Then today, a man with a similar accent called, said his name was Michael, so I replied, “Hi Michael” - and he just cut me off straight away! Glad I found this site afterwards, really hope I didn’t let them mess with my PC.

This bloke was on the same old scam, doing the usual routine. I kept him on the line for ages while pretending to fix my laptop, doing whatever he told me. Honestly, I have no idea how these people sleep at night. Eventually, he lost his temper and just hung up, and honestly, I wasn't even done messing with him yet.

Got a phone call from a bloke with an Asian accent who claimed he'd got my Windows computer ID and there was some kind of issue. I told him I only use Apple devices and he just told me to "have a bad day" before hanging up on me. Bit rude, really.

I received a call on the 9th of May at 9:35 in the morning from someone claiming to be Michael from Microsoft Windows. To be honest, I’m not expecting him to give me a bell again anytime soon, especially after I had a bit of a rant at him. I basically told him to “Get lost!” in not so polite terms. Oh well, just another day!

Some bloke named Richard, claiming to be from Microsoft, gave me a ring. He said he couldn’t delete my number from their system, which sounded fishy, so I just blocked him. Definitely seemed like a scam!

Got a call from a guy claiming to be Dave from Microsoft, sounded a bit dodgy if you ask me. He said there was an issue with my computer that only he could sort out. I played along for a bit but then told him I actually don’t own a PC! He didn't stay on the line after that. I've reported the whole thing to the ICO and also logged it with http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ just in case.

Got a call earlier today around 10:45 from someone claiming to be Microsoft Support, sounded like they were Asian. I was part of the Microsoft Partnership Program until it ended, so figured it might be legit at first. But nope, it was a total scam. The bloke asked me for my MS phone number, like why would Microsoft need that? When I started to tell him to remove me from their list, he just hung up on me. Annoying, because I know they probably never do anyway. Sadly, my phone doesn't have a block number feature, so I’m stuck dealing with it. Gotta find another way to stop these calls.

I just got a call from 005209940056 claiming to be from Microsoft. I told the bloke straight away he wasn’t with Microsoft and told him to stop wasting my time. Then I hung up right away. Proper dodgy call.

Yesterday, our landline rang a few times from this number 005 209 940 056, but they hung up before I could answer. I used 1471 to check who was calling.

Got a call on my landline from a bloke claiming to be Microsoft, sounded just like the scammers people have been warning about. He started with some friendly chat, but I didn’t really trust him and kept it short, so he quickly hung up. I checked the last caller ID with 1471 and it showed 005209940056. Reported it straight away to 101, the non-emergency police line. They told me not to call the number back as it could cost a fortune in charges. Best thing is to just block and ignore these calls.

On 27th April, I got a call from an Asian bloke whose English was rubbish. He said he was calling from Microsoft about some issue on my computer. I told him straight up it was a con and asked him to hang up, but he just kept going! Seriously, don’t get involved with these people.

On the 27th of April, I got a call from 005209940056. The person on the other end, who spoke English really badly and sounded Asian, asked if I was the primary user of my computer and told me to turn it on. He claimed to be from Microsoft and said my computer was infected with a virus. I told him he’d accidentally reached the main line of the fraud unit at New Scotland Yard, the London police, and that I was tracing the call. He hung up straightaway.

A bloke rang me claiming to be 'Alex' from Microsoft Windows, saying my computer's files had been uploaded online due to a security breach and they were getting error messages. I asked him to explain it a couple of times to make sure I'd heard right, then told him firmly "don't ever ring me again, this is a scam." He ended the call straight away. The connection was really bad and the caller spoke with an accent I couldn't place, might've just been fake anyway.

Pretty much the same here, it was clear from the start it was a scam call. I played along for a bit just for a laugh, then said I don’t have any Windows PC. Was obvious it was dodgy and told them not to call again. Really sloppy effort. Don’t understand how anyone falls for these things!

Got a ring on my work phone, looked like one of those auto dialer things. The bloke on the other end had an accent that sounded Asian but said he was calling from Mexico or something? He wanted to chat with whoever owned the computer. When I asked what it was about, he just started yelling down the phone to get the computer's owner. At first I figured it was some random business cold call, but after seeing what folks wrote here, it’s clear now it was a scam.

Received a call from these individuals today. The chap claimed to be representing the 'Windows Team' and was rambling on about various problems. I kept insisting he provide his Microsoft email and contact number, but he simply ignored my request, which was a bit frustrating. I eventually lost my patience and told him he was quite dull before hanging up! I attempted to ring the number again, but all I got was a busy signal. It seems the call is routed through Mexico, though I’m not entirely certain if it actually comes from there.

some bloke calling himself john, sounded asian and struggled with english, ringing me up claiming to be from microsoft (ring any bells?). if someone just rings out of the blue saying your pc has a virus and they're from microsoft, it's definitely a con. these scammers are just the lowest of the low, picking on people who don't know better. honestly, are there even any innocent folks left to catch out? i seem to get one of these annoying calls every week! seriously, find something better to do and leave me alone!

I entertained what seemed to be Roger's (was that an Indian accent I detected?) worries regarding my computer, but then he caught on to my ruse when I mentioned my job at Microsoft. To my surprise, he suggested I stand up, bow my head, and silence myself! Anyway, the pesky malicious file has vanished - cheers to you, Roger! Just a word of caution: steer clear of handing over any cash and engage at your own peril!

Spoke with this bloke who said his name was Roger, sounded like he had an Indian accent, was warning me about issues on my computer. I kinda pretended to go along with it, even fibbed that I worked for Microsoft (I didn’t, of course). After a bit, I think he caught on I wasn’t serious. Then out of nowhere, he told me to stand up, put my head down and shut my mouth! Said something about a malicious file being removed now. Cheers, Roger, but don’t hand over any cash - just humour them if you fancy, though it’s at your own risk!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was from Microsoft, warning me my computer was infected with some nasty virus and offering to fix it. Then, a woman with a similar accent called and started talking about Java stuff. I just didn’t buy it and told them both I knew it was a scam in quite a bit of technical detail. Asked her for a contact number, and she gave me '1800 102 1100' at first. I asked again, and she hung up straight away. Using 1471, I found the number she called from was 005209940056. Definitely a dodgy call. - W. Dennison

I got a call at 9:54 am today, and the guy had an Asian accent. He kept saying I was a bloody liar when I told him I work in IT. Then he claimed my Windows was infected, but I use Apple, so how on earth would he know that? It was pretty weird.

This morning, got a call from someone saying he was with a “computer repair service.” He gave a name, sounded like John Wilson or something similar, but after thinking more, I reckon he had a pretty thick South Asian accent. Didn’t really want to get involved, so I just ended the call.

The accent was really hard to get, so I can't be sure, but when he told me to turn on my PC and disable the firewall, it felt fishy. I ended up telling him he was a dodgy little scammer and told him to get lost.

Got a call on 18th April at 9.44 in the morning, voice sounded Asian/Indian. They claimed I’d downloaded stuff online that might harm my PC. They told me to turn my computer on. I was stalling, and they got annoyed. When I asked where they were calling from, they said it was Microsoft Windows, London. In the end, I told them to buzz off and find a real job instead of trying to con people.
