01217900974 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01217900974 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to scams impersonating Microsoft support. Callers often claim urgent computer security issues, attempting to gain remote access, but frequently become abusive or silent when challenged. Many report repeated calls, including silent hang-ups and aggressive behaviour, with a notable Indian or foreign accent. Victims advise ignoring or blocking the calls, never sharing personal data, and reporting to the police or relevant authorities. The number appears linked to virtual lines, not local to Birmingham as sometimes claimed. Users highlight the distress these calls cause, especially to vulnerable individuals, and stress that genuine Microsoft never initiates such contact unsolicited. Vigilance and caution are strongly recommended to avoid falling victim to these scams.

6 yearsPlease block these numbers for me: 08007838422, 01217980194, and 994515492908. Thanks!7 yearsThere was complete silence on the other end.7 yearsA bloke phoned saying my computer had an issue, but I told him I don't even own one and suggested he piss off somewhere else.7 yearsI didn’t answer the call.7 yearsGot one of those quiet hang-up calls again, pretty sure it’s scammers fishing for info or trying to mess with your devices. If you happen to call back, and they get into your data, your phone company won’t cover you ‘cause they’ll claim you rang first. Best to just let it ring out and then jot down everything about the call. Definitely report it to the cops and the ICO. Real callers won’t mind if you’re cautious like that.Information Commissioner ' sOffice7 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be Sophie from Microsoft saying my computer was being hacked. She asked me to let her access my PC, sounded pretty legit but I told her no. Then she rang me again the following day. Just a heads up to everyone, watch out for this kind of scam.SophieMicrosoft7 yearsGot a recorded call claiming to be from TalkTalk’s tech team saying my internet would be cut off today unless I pressed one.

They’re only after your cash, so just tell them politely to jog on.Microsoft7 yearsGot a couple of calls from these lot just now. First time, I quickly told them I wasn’t interested and hung up. Barely a minute later, another person rings me up! Says my computer’s been hacked or something. I called him out straight away, asked where he’d got my number from, and he claimed it was from Microsoft. I told him to send me an email instead because I wasn’t buying it. Then he said there were other ways to assist me, but I told him not to call again and to email me whatever he wanted to say. Hung up right after. Seriously, folks, don’t ever hand over your details to unknown callers no matter who they claim to be!Microsoft7 yearsGot calls from someone pretending to be Microsoft, telling me my computer was hacked and that they were receiving heaps of our spam emails.

Don’t get why they even bother if the number is visible anyway?Michael7 yearsI got a call from some woman claiming to be from Microsoft, telling me my PC was in danger of being hacked or something like that. She said if I gave her my ID, she could stop it. When I asked her what brand my computer was and who it was registered to, she suddenly got really irate. Then she started shouting and said she'd block my computer before just hanging up on me.Microsoft7 yearsThese scammers keep ringing, saying they're from Microsoft and that they're the only ones who can "repair" my PC. I told them to find proper jobs instead, and now I get these annoying calls several times a day.Microsoft7 yearsThese so called "Microsoft" calls keep coming through, you'd think they'd take a break by now. Someone spoke with a thick Indian accent saying my computer was at risk of being hacked. Honestly, the best thing to say to them is just to tell them to buzz off. Microsoft never ever rings you up out of the blue, it’s always a con. They're just after your cash, nothing else.BlimeyMicrosoftNEVER7 yearsI got a call from someone with a foreign accent who actually used my name, which surprised me because my number’s not listed anywhere.

I told them no and just ended the call each time.Microsoft7 yearsI keep getting calls from these lot, and usually the line just goes dead before anyone says anything. On the rare occasions they do talk, they come across really aggressive, like "If you don't follow my instructions, your computer will be locked."

Getting these calls is annoying enough, but the threatening tone is proper scary.7 yearsThis number kept ringing me as well. A guy spoke with an Asian accent, saying he was from Microsoft and that my PC was at risk of being hacked. When I, a woman, ignored him he got quite nasty.
