Phone number ☎️ 01183283315 👆 is reported as a scam involving callers impersonating Microsoft representatives, often using various fake names and foreign accents. They claim your computer has been hacked or contains viruses and request remote access via software like TeamViewer. Victims are pressured to pay for bogus "upgrades" or security plans, frequently directing payments through untraceable methods such as Western Union. Many have experienced aggressive behaviour when refusing payment, resulting in financial loss and compromised personal information. Microsoft confirms they do not initiate such calls, and customers should never provide access or payment details. Calls often come from numbers that do not align with their claimed locations. Users are strongly advised to remain vigilant, verify any unexpected calls independently, and report suspicious activity promptly.

10 yearsSomebody rang me from that number [#][#]youtube(###};watch?v=Gaw tgixapim. Wondered who it was, a bit weird!10 yearsso this woman called me, said her name was amanda parker and claimed she was from the microsoft office in reading. she said my computer had been hacked and to fix it, she needed to get in through teamviewer. because she knew some details, i stupidly trusted her. once she got in, they asked me to pay for a sort of ‘plan’ with microsoft. but when i googled amanda parker after that, i found this website and realised it was a scam. i told them i wasn’t paying anymore and suddenly the guy got really angry and locked me out of my own computer.Amanda ParkerMicrosoftReadingTeamViewerGoogle11 yearsa lady with a strange accent called me from this number and said her name was stella lawrent. she claimed to be from microsoft and told me my pc was infected with viruses and hacked. certainly sounds like one of those scams to me!Stella LawrentMicrosoft11 yearsI got a call from someone named Amanda Parker, and somehow ended up losing £4000 because of it.Amanda Parker11 yearsGot a call from 0118 328 3315 today, they said my PC had loads of warning alerts sent to Microsoft and that I was in big trouble. They got pretty angry when I questioned them. I tried ringing back the number they gave me but it just went on ringing for ages and when someone finally picked up, it had nothing to do with Microsoft at all. Wouldn’t trust this, best to steer clear.Microsoft11 years@ benny edwards rang me claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my PC had been compromised multiple times and used to visit dodgy websites. I foolishly let him take control of my computer remotely, but luckily I got my wits about me in time. Now I’m sorting out all my passwords. They also use the number 02031988108. They asked for payment through Western Union for a Windows 10 upgrade (which is actually free)! Microsoft themselves have said this is a scam - they never ring people first, customers have to contact them.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from a lady claiming to be from Microsoft, telling me there was some suspicious stuff going on with my PC. When I asked for a number to ring her back on, she gave me 0118328331. Thing is, that number didn’t match what showed up on my phone screen at all.Microsoft11 yearsAbsolute con artists! They managed to nick all my details and subsequently wiped my bank account clean, leaving me completely skint and unable to provide for my children. They’ve pilfered my hard-earned savings - a staggering £30,000! To make matters worse, when I tried to confront them over the phone, a woman on the line just cackled and said, "Ha! Tough luck, mate! Your money's ours now!" It’s nothing short of despicable. These blokes are serious rogues!11 yearsAvoid this number like the plague, it’s a total scam. I received a call on my landline from a woman who said she was from Microsoft’s support team. She told me that there had been emails sent out from my computer to their servers, suggesting my PC was hacked. Then she handed the phone over to a bloke who called himself Paul Watson, claiming someone was using my computer to run illegal websites. That’s when I hung up immediately. The biggest red flag? They ring your home number - Microsoft wouldn’t ever contact you like that.MicrosoftPaul Watson11 yearsah, this happened to me too! the lady said her name was anna wilson, but her accent didn’t really fit. she claimed she was from microsoft. i told her i actually don’t use microsoft (which is a fib, i do!) and then she immediately asked if i was an apple user. when i said yes, she said she’d connect me to her apple mate. like, seriously? why would a microsoft rep have a colleague working for apple? i wasn’t buying it and ended the call right there.Anna WilsonMicrosoftApple11 yearsShe said her name was Stella Lawrence, but honestly, her accent didn’t match that name at all. She went on about my computer being hacked and used to browse dodgy websites or something like that. When I asked her to say her phone number again ‘cause the line was crackling like mad, she just cut me off.Stella Lawrence11 yearsI got a call from 01183283315, some guy named Michael James claiming he was from Microsoft. Said there was a virus on my PC that needed fixing. He gave me this “employee code” me-604 and wanted me to let him connect through TeamViewer. Later, I checked with Microsoft’s main office and they told me actual staff don’t hand out employee numbers, only case numbers. When I rang Michael back and asked for my case number, he had no idea what I was talking about. Definitely dodgy.Michael JamesMicrosoftTeamViewerMichael11 yearsJust got a call from some guy named Benny Edwards on 01183283315, said he was ringing from Microsoft in Reading. Told me our computer had been hacked for like three weeks or something. He asked to get into my computer to ‘fix’ the problem but couldn’t say which device or even our internet provider. Sounds like a total scam to me!Benny EdwardsMicrosoftReading11 yearsGot a call from 01183283315, some bloke said he was from Microsoft and said my computer had hackers on it and needed fixing. His English was pretty bad and hard to get, but he said he was calling from Reading. Thing is, the caller ID looked like it was from abroad, definitely out of range. Felt dodgy to me.MicrosoftReading11 yearsGot a call from 01183283315 from some “Michael James” saying he was from Microsoft. His English was shocking, hardly made sense. When I questioned him, he got annoyed real quick. He claimed my computer was hacked and said he could show me if I let him access it. When I asked if I had to turn on my MacBook for that, he just suddenly ended the call. No doubt a total scam!Michael JamesMicrosoft11 yearsthis bloke john martin, some indian guy, rang me up and managed to nick 800 quid from me. such a scam!John Martin11 yearsOi, James! Where have you disappeared to? I'm still here, patiently waiting for your reply. What on earth is going on with you?James11 yearsI got three calls from someone saying they were from Microsoft, telling me hackers were on my computer. They asked me to log into a website, which I didn’t do. If I had, I’m sure they’d have got into my computer and all my stuff. Total scam!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0118 328 3315)
