9 yearsi already told the ico about that number, hopefully they’ll do something about it soon.Information Commissioner9 yearsWoke up to a ring from this number round 7.15 today. Was still groggy when I picked up, and quickly ended the call. Proper irritating!9 yearsGot a call early morning from a guy with an Indian accent, around 7:32am. He said he was from Microsoft and my PC was hacked. When I asked for his contact details, he gave me 01183282415, but the number that showed up on my phone was 01253 326996. Then I asked his name and he said Benny Edwards! When I asked where his office was, he said Reading. I mentioned I’ve got two computers and wanted their Microsoft support numbers. After that, he said he’d block the computer and just hung up on me. Quite suspicious, eh? Not falling for that nonsense!MicrosoftBenny EdwardsReading9 yearsMy elderly mum has been getting loads of calls where they're telling her her computer's been hacked. It's been happening loads and they try really hard to freak her out about it.9 yearsThe call came up as international, yet also displayed that number. When I answered and greeted them, it just went silent on the other end.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. The person said there was an issue with my laptop. I mentioned I was a cop and that I was recording the call, then they quickly hung up.9 yearsThis number rang me really early today, I didn’t pick up and no voicemail was left either.9 yearsThose scammers from India struck again. This guy with a thick accent said he was calling from Microsoft because they found a security leak on my PC and needed to set up remote access. I told him I actually worked at Microsoft, and then he swore at me and hung up. Total scam attempt!IndiaMicrosoft9 yearsI got two calls from this number today but only picked up the first one. Some woman with an accent said she was from Microsoft and claimed my computer was hacked. She wanted to know if I was by my PC, but I wasn’t using it then. I didn’t trust her at all and said I was about to go out and couldn’t chat. Then she warned me if I didn’t act, I might lose my computer. It all felt very dodgy to me.Microsoft9 yearsGot two missed calls earlier today but no voicemail was left after I didn't pick up.9 yearsTotally a scam, pretending to be Microsoft support! Don't fall for it!Microsoft9 yearsClaiming to be from Microsoft support, but it's quite evident they're not telling the truth.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (01253 336996)
