Reports on phone number 01183280225
2 yearsThey called claiming to represent three different networks and tried to sell me a phone, charging £7.65 for delivery. Still no sign of it, luckily I froze my card pretty quick. Don’t trust this number at all.8 yearsI got a call from this number earlier today. I found out you can't return the call, so I had a look at these comments before deciding to block it. Cheers for the heads up!9 yearsGot a call earlier from probably that Josephine Kissinger person again, saying I'd supposedly been in some kind of accident! When I asked who they were trying to reach, they just repeated their spiel. I asked for the name of the person who supposedly had the accident a couple of times, but they just kept reading the script. By the third time, I just got cut off! Proper dodgy if you ask me.Josephine Kissinger9 yearsGot a call earlier, but when I picked up no one was there. I could hear a lot of noise like it was being passed around a call centre, but no one actually spoke. After reading other comments, it seems obvious this is some dodgy scam trying to check if my number is active.9 yearsThis number won't stop ringing my phone, it's getting really irritating.9 yearsReceived a call earlier today, and the connection was dreadful. I really struggled to make sense of what the person on the other end was mumbling on about.9 yearsThey keep ringing me up about some car crash stuff, really frustrating. No clue where they got my number from!9 yearsGot a call saying I'd been in a car crash and there was a claim to sort out. As soon as I told them I hadn't had any accident, they just hung up right away. Pretty much the same thing others are saying.9 yearsGot a call pretending to be Microsoft Support - total scam, fake tech help! I blocked the number straight away!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from this number for the first time and as soon as I answered, they just dropped the call. Blocked it straight away.9 yearsSome posh lady, or maybe just a bot, rang me up claiming she heard I’d been in an accident that wasn’t my fault. I told her straight away, that wasn’t the case at all.9 yearsSo I got a call from someone who said her name was Sarah Jones and she claimed to be from some insurance firm dealing with accidents and injuries. She asked if I’d had any accidents in the last three years. I told her no, but then she kept insisting that I had some sort of injury and started going on about car crashes, which was odd cuz I don’t even drive. I just kept denying it and eventually she hung up on me.Sarah Jones9 yearsOn 1st Feb 2018, I got a call on my mobile from a lady who said her name was Josephine Kissinger or something like that. I couldn’t quite get the name of the company she was with. She claimed she was ringing about a car crash I’d supposedly been part of. I told her I haven’t had any accident, then just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Josephine Kissinger10 yearsA guy called Mark Williams, speaking with an Indian accent, claimed he was from Microsoft and told me my computer was under attack. He said I needed new antivirus software that he could sort out for me. He gave me an address, something like 3000 Aviator Way, which I think is in Manchester. Bit strange since the number he called from is Reading-based. I told him I’d have a look into it and maybe ring back, but obviously I never did.Mark WilliamsMicrosoftManchesterReading10 yearssome bloke called sam wilson claiming he was from microsoft rang me up saying my computer was riddled with suspicious stuff. he asked to show me the problems on my pc and, being quite naive, i let him in. after that, he told me i had to buy new malware and spyware protection for £179 upfront or £10 monthly. dumb me agreed to it. today i noticed a huge withdrawal from my bank via MoneyGram, so i've cancelled my bank card and account to be safe. i really don’t want this to happen again. does anyone know where i can report this guy? everything he told me turned out to be total rubbish.Sam WilsonMicrosoftMoneyGram10 yearsI had a rather disconcerting experience with a chap named Jack Nelson. The call quality was dreadful, and he attempted to gain access to my computer. When he insisted I log into my online banking, I promptly disconnected.Jack Nelson10 yearsI just received a rather dubious call from someone claiming to be Paul Thompson, supposedly representing Microsoft, insisting that my system was under attack. First off, his command of English was absolutely dreadful! Isn’t it ironic that he’s got such a quintessentially British name but can’t string a proper sentence together? It all feels a bit dodgy to me! Honestly, steer clear of these folks!Paul ThompsonMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be Microsoft tech support. I humoured him for a bit on the phone but eventually got fed up and hung up. Typical scam stuff really.Microsoft10 yearsShe introduced herself as Sarah Jones and insisted she was ringing from Microsoft regarding an issue with my computer. When I expressed my doubts, she became quite irate and started shouting down the line. I decided it was best to hang up.Sarah JonesMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft support, telling me to turn on my PC and share my ID with him. I asked if he was from the UK's official help centre and what his name was. He replied, with a thick Indian accent, that he was Paul Thompson from Reading! I told him I'd ring Microsoft myself. Then he started threatening that this was a one-time call and if I didn’t give him the ID straight away, he'd block me out of my own computer. At that point, I just hung up.MicrosoftUKPaul ThompsonReading10 yearsSo this bloke called, David Oconnell or something, seemed quite alright at first. I'm pretty young and still figuring out how these things work, so before I knew it, I’d given him my mum's credit card details by mistake. Luckily, I realised something was off and rang the official tech support straight away.David O ' Connell10 yearsSeems like a complete con, though I can't quite figure what they're after. Whatever you do, don't let these muppets get you to switch on your PC!!10 yearsSome bloke named Jordan rang me, claiming to be from Microsoft and said there were admin issues with my computer. I told him I’d ring back after I’d looked up the number properly. So I called Microsoft themselves to check it out. Never bothered to call Jordan back, but he kept ringing me about 4 more times! I didn’t pick up any of those calls.JordanMicrosoft10 yearsI received a call from this number, and it was just as described earlier. Quite the nuisance, if I’m honest!10 yearsGot a call early on Saturday from someone saying he was from Microsoft and that my PC was hacked. He gave the name 'David Morris'. Definitely felt like a scam to me.David MorrisMicrosoft10 yearsGot calls from these people claiming to be Microsoft, telling my nan and grandad their computer was hacked by bad guys and they needed to pay £250. They kept ringing all the time. Total scam, honestly don’t waste your time on them!Microsoft10 yearshad this bloke called Brian claiming to be from Microsoft, total scam call. I managed to keep the chat going for like 27 mins and 11 seconds before hanging up lol! absolute laugh!BrianMicrosoft10 yearsI received a rather persistent call from a chap claiming to be Mr Alec Shah, supposedly representing Microsoft. He was adamant that my computer had been compromised. It was quite bothersome, as he rang me thrice without relent!Alec ShahMicrosoft10 yearsSomebody called saying they were from Microsoft, saying my computer was hacked. Definitely a scam!Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, offering to fix my computer. Pretty sure it was a scam to try and get access or something dodgy.
