Phone number ☎️ 01312536231 👆 is reported as a persistent scam caller pretending to be from Microsoft, often using foreign accents and claiming there’s an issue with your computer. Callers give varying locations like Reading Business Park, Birmingham, Darlington, or Norfolk, despite the Edinburgh area code appearing on caller ID.

Recipients are wary and don’t respond to missed calls, even if the local code might seem familiar or genuine.

Got a call from a woman with a foreign accent claiming to be from Microsoft. She told me there was an issue with my PC. I just ended the call straight away.

i just got a call from this number but missed it. earlier today I had one of those annoying “microsoft” scam calls claiming to be from Birmingham, and lately there’s been loads coming from a Norfolk area code which seems dodgy too. so now i'm a bit wary of picking up. it's a bit annoying since calls from Edinburgh might actually be real in my case, but I’m not bothering to call back.

Got a phonecall from someone with a strange accent saying they were from Microsoft. They claimed there was an issue with my PC, but it was obviously a scam. I’ve blocked the number now.

Got a call from a woman who said there was a problem with my computer. Even though the number started with Edinburgh's area code, her accent didn't sound local at all. When I tried calling back to see if it was legit, the number wouldn’t go through. I've just blocked the number now.

Since yesterday ive had a few calls supposedly from "Microsoft" saying there was an issue with my PC. Two were from their "Birmingham" office and another popped up today from "Darlington". When the so-called "technician" said they could fix my problem, i pointed out that my computer wasn't even turned on - guess that threw him off! Told him maybe he should charge for finding problems on switched off machines instead. That quickly ended the call!
