Phone number ☎️ 01238537213 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation involving repeated calls from a male caller with a strong, often Indian or other non-British accent, falsely claiming to represent Microsoft or Windows technical support. Callers commonly allege issues with the recipient’s computer, attempting to gain remote access or personal information. Many recipients report immediate hang-ups when questioned or refusal to cooperate, with some describing aggressive, pushy behaviour and calls from numbers that cannot be easily blocked or traced. Attempts to verify the caller's identity fail, and the calls are widely regarded as phishing attempts aimed at fraud and potential hacking. Users are strongly advised to ignore such calls and never grant any form of remote access or personal information.

9 yearssome bloke kept ringing me claiming he could sort my computer out, but i told him i dont even own one. he tried a few times so in the end i blocked his number. then he called from a different one and when i said "not you again" he just hung up on me.9 yearsA bloke called me, sounded to have a strong accent and said he was from some security firm. I asked what company, and he said Windows. I told him I don’t even own a PC. This is the third day I’ve got a call from this same number, like once every day.9 yearsI got a call from someone who started pointing out supposed issues with my computer and wanted me to log in. I told them I actually work in IT and that there’s no way they could tell any problems from their side. Guess what? As soon as I said that, they just hung up on me! Quite the surprise.9 yearsI got a call from a really thick foreign accent, said it was about my computer or something. Wasn't expecting it and was actually on the phone waiting for someone else, so I just picked up since I didn’t know the number. Bit confusing!9 yearsI picked up the call but they just hung up on me straight away without saying a word :( really strange!9 yearsBloody hell, this number ended up hacking into my computer :/9 yearsOn the 9th, then again on the 11th and 12th of September, I kept gettin calls saying stuff like "Is your computer nearby? We're callin about your computer" or something like that. It was proper annoying.9 yearsThis guy kept ringing me like four times over the last week. Didn't say who he was or what company he was from, just jumped straight in saying something about my computer. Definitely sounds dodgy!9 yearsLoads of scammers from Asia keep calling me, so I just play along with them to stop them from tricking others. It’s a bit of fun and kills time if you’ve got nothing else to do.9 yearsThis number has called me about six times in less than a week. I eventually picked up because apparently you can’t block it since it shows up as an invalid number. The guy on the line claimed there was an issue with my computer. Once I told him he wasn’t from our IT team, he just said “okay, no worries” and hung up. The accent was really strong and quite difficult to follow, definitely sounded like a scam or phishing attempt. Stay well clear of this one!9 yearsGot a call saying "your computer has a problem" and then they just dropped the call. Weird!9 yearsHow is it even possible to call from a number that's supposed to be invalid? This scammer’s tried ringing me two times already. Can't even seem to get the number blocked! What a mess.9 yearsGot a call from this number around half one today. They wanted to know if I was sat at my computer. I messed around a bit before I just ended up letting the call drop.9 yearsI got a call from 01238537213, the bloke said his name was John and he had a funny accent. He claimed he was from Microsoft’s tech support team or something like that.John9 yearsThis number kept ringing me loads over a few days, I picked up one time but the call dropped right away. When I tried ringing back, it just said no service or something like that. I checked out the Who Called Me tool and loads of people had complaints about it, so I’ve blocked it now. Bet they’ll be back with a new number soon enough!9 yearsI got a call where they just said, "Hello, your computer has an issue," and then the line went dead.9 yearsGot a call from this number again today. When I answered, there was dead silence, then they just hung up after a couple of seconds. Tried calling them back now but the number turned out to be invalid. Very strange!9 yearsSome guy with an Asian accent rang me up asking stuff about my computer. I told him right off that I don't wanna buy anything and to please get rid of my number so he doesn't ring again. Then he just goes, "I'll call you every day!" Seriously annoying.9 yearstotal con! some bloke said he was from microsoft windows, wanted to get into my computer. i quickly told him to jog on and hung up on him.Microsoft9 yearsThey phoned me for the second day running now. Whenever someone says there’s an issue with my PC, I just cut the call straight away. Pure scam, no doubt about it.9 yearsGot a call from some bloke, sounded like he was either Asian or African, but the line was really bad. Said his name was Matthew Smith but didn’t mention any company. He claimed there was a problem with my computer and asked if I was near it. I started asking how he knew about that and he just hung up. Funny thing is, I don’t even own a computer at home!Matthew Smith9 yearsin the last couple of days I've gotten 5 calls from this number, but every time I answer, no ones there and the call just ends pretty quick. no talking or anything, just silence then they hang up.9 yearsI tried answering the call, but there was silence on the other end. When I redialled, it indicated the number wasn’t valid. Odd, isn't it?9 yearsBeware, this bloke keeps ringing back if you end the call and he’s really bossy and rough. You gotta watch out, he’s quite good at twisting your arm.9 yearsTelephone scammer claiming to be from ‘Microsoft Windows’ phoned me saying my computer had major issues. Their aim seemed to be convincing me to give them remote access through msconfig, then they try to bill you for fake fixes. Stay well away from these con artists and never let them anywhere near your PC.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from a guy with an English accent who claimed my computer had some serious issues. Before I could even ask what he meant, he just cut the call. Pretty clear it was one of those dodgy scammers trying to trick me into giving away my computer info.9 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the person on the other end just ended the call straight away.9 yearsThis bloke was saying my computer wasn’t updating right and asked me which one - I have a couple of them. I told him I’ve got two at home, he said yeah, those ones. I mentioned I was at work and pretty tied up. He wanted to call me at home but only during working hours, like 9 to 5. When I said I had to end it because I was busy at work, he got really annoyed. Honestly, I couldn’t make out half of what he was saying, way too pushy for my liking.9 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, and I immediately told them I wasn’t falling for any trickery. I promptly blocked the number. Perhaps I’m being overly cautious, but I’ve had no luck uncovering any information about the caller’s number.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (01238 537213)
