01312080365 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01312080365 👆 is reported as a persistent scam where callers, often with Asian accents, claim to be Microsoft or tech support including names like "365 PC Support" or "BT," though investigations reveal links to India or Australia, not official UK companies. They use scare tactics about viruses and push victims to enter commands or allow remote access, supposedly to fix issues but actually to steal data or money. Callers change names frequently and get rude or pushy if refused. Numbers often appear from Edinburgh or other UK locations but calls seem to be from overseas. Many find the approach stressful and deceitful, warning others not to trust these people who aim to exploit technical fears and gain long-term access under false pretences.

10 yearsWe foolishly fell for this trick and allowed them to access our computer remotely. It wasn't long after they finished that we realised we had been scammed. At first, everything seemed quite believable, especially when they conducted their initial check. Now, we’re left feeling utterly violated by the whole experience. Who knows what these individuals have truly been up to? They certainly seemed to monitor our computer once they gained control, and they wiped away old browsing history and cleared cookies-tasks we could have easily handled ourselves. I truly hope that no one else succumbs to this deceit.10 yearsSo, Alson received a call from an Asian gentleman claiming to be from Microsoft, suggesting I had a virus and offering technical help. He asked me to input several commands into the run/cmd, and then surprisingly wanted me to send money for assistance. Be on guard! When I called the number back, the folks on the other end identified themselves as '365 PC Support'-definitely not affiliated with Microsoft! It looks like that number is traced back to Edinburgh, around Musselburgh, and South Queensferry.AlsonMicrosoftEdinburghMusselburghSouth Queensferry10 yearsI received a rather curious message from a gentleman with an Asian accent claiming that one of our family computers was apparently infected with malware. We noted down his number and mentioned that we'd ring him back, but in the end, we decided against it.10 yearsCAUTION!!!! This is a scam! I had an awful experience with these individuals who raised their voices at me over the phone. We made it clear that we didn’t appreciate their rudeness. Investigate this thoroughly and steer clear to avoid falling victim!10 yearsReceived a call today from someone claiming our computer was teeming with viruses. The chap, who spoke with a noticeable Asian accent, urged us to input a prefetch virus into our run command. We told him we’d call back, as we were a bit apprehensive. Upon further digging, we discovered another person had received a similar call from the exact same bloke and number. It's rather concerning! He claimed to be from Microsoft support.Microsoft11 yearsAbsolutely, there's been a scam making the rounds in Australia, most likely hailing from Queensland. These con artists are after remote access to your computer, aiming to pull off identity theft. It's quite concerning!AustraliaQueensland11 yearsI received a call this evening from a chap with an Asian accent, claiming to be Kevin Smith. However, all he really did was concede that he could call back at a more convenient time. He reluctantly offered us a number to reach them again, insisting it was a toll-free one, which we suspect isn't accurate. As soon as we dialled the number, a woman answered and claimed it was 365 Technical Support. We've now made the decision not to let her assist us with anything on our computer when she rings us back. Just going through these reviews has been incredibly helpful. Cheers!Kevin Smith11 yearsThe instructions provided by this individual will merely uncover legitimate files, potentially highlighting instances where your antivirus has successfully carried out its duties. That’s the reason you might see messages like warnings or errors popping up. As for the other files they claim are perilous, they’re actually just Microsoft files that are entirely normal. Don't let these individuals intimidate you; your computer was likely absolutely fine all along.Microsoft11 yearsReceived a call from a chap with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, offering help with a supposed virus on my computer. He was asking for money to provide assistance. Be cautious of these individuals!Microsoft11 yearsI received a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer was infected with a virus and that he could provide some technical support. He tried to get me to input various commands in the run/cmd prompt and even asked me to fork out some cash for their services. Be on your guard!!! When I called the number back, someone picked up and answered as '365 PC Support' - definitely not Microsoft! Strangely enough, the number seems to be coming from Edinburgh, somewhere between Musselburgh and South Queensferry.MicrosoftEdinburghMusselburghSouth Queensferry12 yearsHello there! We received a rather peculiar phone call from a chap tonight. Did she happen to mention her name? Claiming to be Eric Wilson, he was an Asian woman, and she abruptly ended the call on him. Have you reported this? Cheers, Sarah.Eric WilsonSarah12 yearsWe received a call from an incredibly rude and quite aggressive individual with a foreign accent, who was rather insistent on getting us to install their software. This person bluntly warned us that our computer would face imminent shutdown or crashes if we didn’t comply, and in a rather unpleasant tone, mentioned that they wouldn’t take responsibility for those consequences. Despite our clear indications that we were not interested, they persisted in their barrage of demands until we ultimately had to hang up on them. It was a rather unpleasant experience, to say the least!12 yearsThis chap has been ringing us incessantly, claiming to be Aaron Smith, and insists we give him a bell every fortnight. Apparently, it’s so he can verify that I’m still in the clear regarding any viruses. Quite the peculiar arrangement, I must admit!Aaron Smith12 yearsReceived a call that seems to have ensnared yet another unsuspecting soul. The number led us to 365pcsupport.com, which is claiming to be associated with BT. We managed to dig up some details through a WHOIS lookup: Registrant: - Name: Shikha Sarraf - Address: D-102, Mall Enclave, 13, K B Sarani - City: Kolkata - State: West Bengal - Postal Code: 700080 - Country: India - Phone: 22804634 - Fax: 0 - Email: [email protected] This hardly strikes us as being linked to BT, does it? Quite the dodgy situation!365pcsupport. comBTShikha SarrafMallSaraniKolkataWest BengalIndia12 yearsReceived a call from this number - an Asian chap on the line. After chatting with my brother, who's rather tech-savvy, it seems all this bloke was doing was throwing around scare tactics. Not to stress over it, apparently. Quite an odd encounter indeed, best to steer clear if you can!12 yearsGreetings! Just a heads-up about these buffoons. They reached out to me claiming to resolve a 'virus' on my laptop, which had somehow got on there. After much hassle, my partner managed to rid us of that pest. I had a jolly good laugh with these jokers this evening! Initially, they introduced themselves as Eric Wilson, but when I called back, it was a different chap named Shane. And then later on, the name changed once more to Peter! Honestly, how daft can you get? When I pointed out that their story wasn’t adding up, they still insisted they were Eric Wilson. Unbelievable!Eric WilsonShanePeter13 yearsI've had a rather concerning experience with a so-called tech support service claiming to be linked to Windows Operating System. They went by the name "365 PC Support" and mentioned they'd identify any software viruses lurking in my computer. Interestingly, they provided me with an Edinburgh contact number, yet the person on the line claimed to be calling from Australia - a chap named "Peter 0004." To be frank, it all felt a bit dodgy, and I'm not convinced this isn't just another scam.EdinburghAustraliaPeter13 yearsThis evening, on the 20th of July, 2010, we received a phone call that mirrored what others have described. An individual with an Asian accent shared this number after we started questioning her credibility. Upon redialling, we heard the same accent and the same tale being spun. The moment we declined to engage further, she promptly hung up.Submit Your Own Report (0131 208 0365)
