Some have unfortunately fallen victim, resulting in damaged devices or malware infections. Common signs include refusal to provide verifiable contact details, use of urgent language, and telling recipients they need immediate assistance. Genuine companies like Microsoft do not initiate such calls. Overall, this number is strongly linked to scam attempts targeting computer users.
Reports on phone number 01183283044
9 yearsThey rang up to check if I’d been in an accident, said it wasn’t my fault or something like that.9 yearsGot a call from this number but decided not to pick up, which was a good move. I'd recommend blocking it or marking it as spam. Honestly, the safest bet is to just ignore calls from unfamiliar numbers.9 yearsOver the last few days, I've received calls from someone claiming to be with BT, warning me that my internet was under attack. He insisted he was going to disconnect my service for two whole days. When I declined to follow his demands, he got really nasty and even called me a psycho. He claimed he had complete control over my online activities and threatened to cut off my internet permanently because I wouldn't comply. He gave his name as Eddie Cooper. Honestly, if an older person was on the receiving end of this, they'd be completely fooled by it.BTEddie Cooper9 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up pretending to be from Microsoft support. I've told them more than once to leave me alone but they just won’t take the hint. Does anyone know how to actually block them for good?Microsoft9 yearsJust got a couple of calls from folks saying they were from Microsoft's tech support, saying my computer was throwing up errors (funny thing is, I don't even own a Microsoft gadget!). I asked for their names - one said Roy Miller, the other William Jonson - seem dodgy to me. When I asked if I could ring them back, they gave me a number that’s definitely not Microsoft: 01183280178. Heads up everyone, M I C R O S O F T W O U L D N ’ T B E R I N G Y O U.MicrosoftRoy MillerWilliam Jonson10 yearsGot a call today, same as everyone else here.10 yearsWithin just a few hours I got three calls from someone saying my computer was infected and needed fixing. By the third call, I kept him waiting while I pretended to do stuff like turning the PC on, opening the door, rebooting, and asking him to repeat himself, but I wasn’t actually doing any of it. In the end, I told him to hold on and then ended the call. He had the cheek to ring me back again and said he was with Microsoft, giving me this same number. Watch out for this, folks!Microsoft10 yearsThis number called me twice yesterday. The first call was from a woman, my wife picked up and after hearing what she had to say, politely declined and ended the call. Almost straight away, the phone rang again but this time it was a bloke who sounded pretty angry. He kept asking why my wife had cut the call off and claimed our computer was hacked. As the conversation went on, his tone got worse and he started swearing at us. Definitely some kind of scam.10 yearsIf you get a call from someone saying they’re Microsoft, just know Microsoft never calls you first. If there’s a problem on your computer, the system will give you a message to reach out to Microsoft yourself. They work like companies such as IBM or Dyson - they don’t ring you up randomly, you have to get in touch if you need help. Just tell whoever called you that you’re aware it’s a scam and hang up straight away.MicrosoftIBMDyson10 yearsGot three calls from this number all at once. I don't usually pick up for random calls, but I decided to ask loads of questions like who they were, what number they were on, why they were calling, and where they were ringing from. The person on the other end got more and more annoyed and kept saying my windows was getting hacked and would be switched off soon.10 yearsThis number calls me every single day without fail. Honestly, I just wish they'd disappear. I usually just put them on hold and get on with stuff like watching telly, doing some hoovering, or whatever else. Sometimes I tell them to hang on a moment then just leave them waiting - I reckon it’s funny knowing their call is costing them.10 yearsAt first, I got tricked by this scam, which was a right mess. My laptop ended up completely useless and now needs a full rebuild. Luckily though, I didn’t lose any cash to them.10 yearsA warning popped up on my computer pretending to be a Microsoft 'toll free' contact, saying it was the only way to fix my Internet Explorer which suddenly got blocked by this fake 'error' message. Seems like some kind of nasty malware or virus, and I'm having a hard time getting rid of it.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows in Reading. They asked me to switch on my computer but when I refused, they threatened to block it saying it was being hacked. Felt really dodgy to me!MicrosoftReadingSubmit Your Own Report (0118 328 3044)
