01263761611 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01263761611 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation impersonating Microsoft technical support, often featuring callers with Indian or South Asian accents. They claim to detect hacking, malware, or illegal activity on computers, urging recipients to provide remote access or personal details. Many targets report calls at inconvenient early hours, with aggressive, rude, or abusive behaviour if challenged. The calls use a local UK area code to appear legitimate but frequently disconnect or refuse to provide verifiable company information. Recipients are strongly advised not to engage, give access, or disclose details, and to block the number. Authorities have limited means to prevent such scams due to callers operating from abroad. Reporting these unsolicited calls to the police and telecommunications providers is recommended for awareness and potential action.

I received a call earlier today (12th October 2014) from this number. The chap on the other end had quite an Indian accent and was rattling on about some supposed errors that Microsoft was allegedly detecting from my computer. I decided to hang up. It really makes one wonder how on earth these individuals manage to obtain ex-directory numbers, doesn’t it?

I roused my dad around 7.47am today, informing him that there was a breach on his computer. I mentioned that I was with Virgin Media and that they could trace him, leading to potential legal repercussions in line with the regulations.

I received a rather dubious call from someone claiming to be an engineer affiliated with Microsoft, insisting there was some sort of illicit activity occurring on my computer. I made it clear that Microsoft wouldn’t personally reach out like that since they've got far better things to do, and also mentioned that I know someone who works at Microsoft. The chap was quite witty; he then inquired about my friend's name, to which I nonchalantly replied Simon. He cheekily said Simon was at work, I had to chuckle as I told him Simon was actually tucked up in bed beside me! I instructed him to give me a bell at the same time tomorrow so we could entertain the same nonsense again. Please, for your own safety, don't follow their instructions-it's a complete scam aiming to harvest your personal information!

Received a rather suspicious call earlier today claiming there had been some dodgy downloads linked to our computer. You know the drill - same old spiel. I mentioned that my husband is an IT whizz and that our system was all in order, which clearly threw the caller off balance. He became quite irate, clearly not expecting me to challenge him, and I must admit, I had to raise my voice a tad. It’s maddening, how can we put an end to these bothersome calls? This time it was a chap named Mike Smith, though his accent seemed rather Asian or Bangladeshi. What a nuisance!

I recently received a rather frustrating phone call from some numpties claiming that my computer had been compromised by fraudsters. I mentioned that I hadn’t even touched my computer in a year, yet they persisted, rambling on with even more convoluted details about these so-called scammers. I suggested that I would have my IT specialist run a check on it, but before I could finish, I politely asked if they could remove my details from their list. And guess what? They just hung up on me! I really wish I could believe that they don’t make any profit from this tiresome drivel, but I can’t think of any other reason for their antics. What a disgrace!

I received a rather amusing call today where they were inquiring about a chap who departed from here more than two decades ago - can you believe it, over 21 years! It's a pity I wasn't able to pick up, as I would have had a good chuckle at their expense. Clearly, it's just another one of those ridiculous computer scam calls. The same bunch tried their luck again just this morning!

Got two calls today from someone claiming to be from the Windows Tech Support team. They told me hackers were trying to break into my PC and offered to fix it. Didn’t sound right to me. After the first call, I looked up the number 01263 and it confirmed my suspicion. When they called the second time, I just said no and ended the call straight away.

It appears I’ve encountered a fraudster posing as a computer technician. Such unscrupulous individuals prey on those who might be a bit more susceptible. It infuriates me! Once you challenge them, they turn nasty, and I can’t help but vent my frustrations ceaselessly, hardly allowing them a word in edgewise, which usually leads to them hanging up. They’ve now been consigned to my blocked list!

I just received a rather unsavoury phone call from this lot. When I requested that they take my name off their list, citing the telephone preference service, the individual on the other end resorted to some shocking language, calling me an idiot and making outrageous threats towards my family. Quite frankly, it infuriated me. I plan to report this despicable behaviour to the authorities, although I suspect it won't lead to much action.

On the 5th of December, I received no fewer than three calls from that number between 1 and 2 PM. Each time, the caller insisted that my phone was being compromised and that my personal information was at risk. I told them to shove off and hung up, but they just keep ringing! What's their deal? Do they genuinely find joy in irritating others?

Just received a rather dubious phone call. The chap on the other end insisted it wasn't a scam. I pressed him immediately for the name and address of his so-called company, but he stumbled and couldn’t provide a thing. Then he had the audacity to threaten to block my computer! So, I quipped back asking him which one he intended to do that with. He sounded quite rattled at that point, so I advised him where he could shove his threats and promptly ended the call.

Just had a ring from this number about the same thing. I told them I wasn't willing to switch on my computer, and they immediately ended the call. I did a 1471 to get the number, but when I tried calling back, it said the number wasn’t valid.

What bugs me is how these scammers claim to be from Microsoft yet somehow already have my phone number? It’s not like your number just pops up automatically, even if you’re using an old dial-up modem (which hardly anyone does these days). The real risk is letting them access your computer remotely. Seriously, just don’t let them do that. They might ask you to open a Windows tool called Event Viewer, which is completely safe. It shows loads of scary-looking warnings, but it’s just a way to freak you out and convince you to let them take over your system. Trust me, dont fall for it!!

Blimey, I've had a right nuisance with these scammers today - encountered them twice! It was the same old drivel, claiming to be from Microsoft or whatever, but these blokes were particularly aggressive. I gave him a piece of my mind, and he didn't take it well at all, resulting in a proper shouting match! 😂 I'm honestly tempted to block the number just because it’s amusing how easily they get riled up.

Received a call early this morning at ten past eight. It was the typical Microsoft scam, you know the sort. The lady on the line seemed a bit flustered when I started probing her with questions that clearly deviated from her rehearsed spiel. Not wanting to waste any more of my time on this sort of nefarious activity, I told her that the only wrongdoing going on was her call and that she ought to feel embarrassed about how she earns her living. Is there really no way to put an end to this?

Got a call from someone named Nancy Smith claiming to be from the Windows Tech Support, the typical rubbish about my computer being compromised and wanting me to let her access it remotely. After putting up with her nonsense for a bit, I told her I’d already spoken to Microsoft and that she was clearly trying to scam me, so she could jog on. I ended the call before she did.

She told me to open the Run box and type in "assoc", then kept repeating some weird number she claimed only Microsoft and I would know, at the end of some code she read out. I'm usually pretty wary of stuff like this so it didn't take long for me to realise it was a dodgy scam.

Some bloke from "Microsoft" in India kept saying he was getting info from my PC over the past few days. He claimed there was a huge issue with my machine. I wasted a good 15 minutes chatting with him out of boredom at work, then got sick of it and just left the phone on the desk until he gave up. He wanted me to do loads of steps to show my computer was hacked or infected. I actually work in IT, with a proper tech team, and my home computer isn't even turned on! So I knew he was talking rubbish.

Got a call from 01263761611 early this morning around 8am. They said there had been some dodgy transactions linked to my IP address and wanted me to switch on my computer so they could sort it out. They stressed it was urgent and needed my immediate attention. I told them to ring back at 10:30am and now I’m just waiting. Funny enough, I spoke with BT Broadband support yesterday - they’re based in India and really helpful - which made this scam call sound a bit more believable.

After some persistance, he finally gave a number: 08081893370. I checked it here and found it’s linked to the same scam. Didn’t ring it - total con.

I received a rather unsolicited call at 7.50 this morning, with someone claiming there was an issue with my computer. I firmly expressed that they ought to reconsider calling at such an ungodly hour, or better yet, not bother at all. It’s quite frustrating dealing with these scammers; they seem to be operating from overseas, making our efforts to block nuisance calls utterly futile. They've managed to circumvent the system by disguising themselves with an unrecognisable number. What on earth can be done to put an end to this nonsense?

I asked him what kind of stuff and which company he was from, but he just stuck to his script. I told him I had no computer and even if I did, I wouldn’t trust him with any info. I’m planning to contact BT and report this since I’m registered with TPS.

Got a call on my work phone from someone claiming to be Microsoft, saying there were problems with my PC. I knew straight away it was dodgy but decided to play along for a bit. They asked me to press shift and another key, I said I'd done it, then asked for another key press which I also said I'd done. When they asked what was on the screen, I told them I saw a total scam and told them to buzz off and never ring me again. It seems to have done the trick cause they havent bothered since.

I mentioned I was recording our conversation and contemplating involving the police, and he abruptly ended the call. Let's hope they leave me alone from now on!

I let the bloke talk for about 20 seconds, then told him I'm a tech engineer at Microsoft and that I know they're scammers. Told him I’d traced their line back to their address and would be reporting it to the police's crime prevention unit. Next thing I hear is, “oh s##t,” then a loud bang as they slammed down the phone haha. Probably won’t stop them, but it was pretty funny hearing them freak out!

I keep getting these calls at about half three every afternoon without fail. It’s the usual nonsense-some chap claiming to be from Microsoft, waffling on about error reports and needing to access my system. I tend to let them drone on while I pretend I'm utterly baffled and I can’t find any of the screens they mention. They eventually lose their patience and disconnect or, if they keep at it, I throw in a cheeky question about whether an Apple Mac even has those kinds of problems. That usually results in a rather quick end to the conversation! Quite amusing, really!

What a dodgy call! They were clearly after my computer information. I mentioned that I don’t own a PC, and when I pressed them on the reason for their call, they promptly disconnected. When I tried ringing the number again, I was met with an error message saying it was unrecognised - quite peculiar, isn’t it?

I've gotten quite a few calls from these con artists pretending to be from Windows. I keep telling them I don't even own a computer, but they keep ringing anyway. Think I might just say I work for Microsoft next time!

Last week, I received a trio of calls from the number 01778 380500. I promptly reported it to BT, only to be told that there was little they could do, as the number appears to be untraceable. It seems these calls are originating from outside the UK, using clever tech to bypass our lines. Today, I got another call from 01263 761611 with the same nonsense - "Hello, this is Microsoft technical support." The chap on the other end claimed to be Sean, but his accent was decidedly strong and of Asian origin. It’s amusing to think he could have an Irish father with such a backstory! I pointed out that merely changing the phone number won't mask their dodginess and that they can't be too sharp if they think that’s clever. I then decided to end the conversation before he could launch into any more abuse.

Had a barrage of phone calls yesterday regarding supposed "issues" on my computer. The bloke just kept rambling on like he was reciting lines from a script, even when I attempted to pose a few queries. He got increasingly rude and abruptly ended the call. What a pain!

It’s been non-stop calls this morning - this is already the fourth time they’ve interrupted me! The person on the line was appallingly rude and just cut me off, yet they seem determined to keep calling back. What a nuisance!

Received two calls from this number, and I allowed them to begin their little ruse both times. Once they grasped that I wasn't biting, the caller turned rather menacing, making some rather unsavoury threats of a physical and sexual nature. I've since reported the matter to the authorities and my phone provider.

Received a call from this number at 07:37 this morning. They didn’t utter a word when I picked up. It’s not the first time, as they also tried to reach me at 16:30 and 13:15 on Saturday. Quite strange, really.

I received calls from this number at various times-first at 6:45, followed by 7:50, then at 9:40, and lastly 11:15. They're incredibly relentless! It feels reminiscent of that Microsoft hacking scam we encountered last year.

I just had a rather unsettling incident with a call to my home. My 9-year-old actually picked up the phone and claimed it was 'Daddy' on the other end. I was en route back, and by the time I got in, it had only been a few minutes. My partner ended up taking over the conversation and encountered a right unpleasant character on the line. Things turned nasty quickly, and then the caller had the audacity to request to speak to our son again, remarking on how 'lovely' he sounded. Absolutely disgusting and downright creepy behaviour!

I just had a rather peculiar phone call from this number. An Indian gentleman claimed to be representing Microsoft and insisted he needed to speak with the primary user of our computer. He went on about 'error reports' being sent over the last fortnight and requested access to the computer to resolve these issues. Naturally, I became quite dubious and promptly cut the call short! When I attempted to ring the number back, it didn’t seem to be valid… what a shocker!

Received a rather alarming message claiming my computer was compromised. I promptly informed the chap that I don’t even own one! To my astonishment, he insisted he could see a photo of me, describing my hair as brown. I couldn’t help but set him straight-I’m as bald as they come! Honestly, if you find yourself in a similar situation, don't hesitate to tell them to bugger off!

Just got a ring from 01263761611 and wasn't quite sure if it was from a job agency or somethin, so I blocked the number and hung up before I could pick up. I've seen some posts say it's someone pretending to be from Microsoft about your operating system. If it’s one of those phishing scammers, I never, ever give out my login info to anyone - not even to IT folks or managers. No matter what.

I received a rather insistent call from this number, with a woman on the other end claiming to be from Windows. She urged me to power up my computer, saying it was being targeted by hackers. I wasn’t having any of it, so I politely declined and, when she wouldn't take no for an answer, I decided to end the conversation.

I received a phone call from a bloke claiming to be from Microsoft, and the call had all the hallmarks of a call centre. He insisted that my computer was under attack, and urged me to log on so he could assist in removing the supposed hackers. I decided to reach out to Microsoft directly just to verify the legitimacy of the call. Honestly, they can be rather persuasive and seemed quite relentless in their approach!
