01226286777 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01226286777 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting UK residents with calls falsely claiming to be from Microsoft. Callers, often using Asian accents, allege that the recipient’s computer has been hacked or compromised, attempting to coerce victims into granting access or paying for false services. Many recipients report multiple calls, including to elderly relatives, with aggressive or abusive behaviour if challenged. The callers are known to hang up abruptly when confronted or when the intended victim states they do not own a computer. Users emphasise that Microsoft does not make unsolicited security calls and advise recipients to ignore, hang up, and block the number to avoid falling victim to fraud. Vigilance and scepticism towards unexpected tech support calls from unknown numbers is strongly recommended.
