01314413430 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01314413430 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance often linked to a sophisticated Microsoft-themed scam. Callers, frequently with Asian accents, impersonate Microsoft technical support, alleging computer viruses or security issues to coax victims into granting remote access or following harmful instructions. Many recipients recognise it as fraudulent, refusing engagement or blocking the number. Attempts to intimidate or insult when challenged are common. The calls sometimes stem from various locations and use intimidation tactics such as citing non-existent errors in event viewers. Despite numerous warnings, the calls continue repeatedly, making blocking essential. Users are advised not to engage, never disclose personal details, and consult local IT professionals rather than the unsolicited callers. Awareness and caution are crucial to avoid falling victim to these scams.

I've had numerous calls from this number, but since my phone doesn't identify it, I choose not to pick up. Interestingly, whenever the voicemail kicks in, the caller seems to hang up right away. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

This number has rung me three times today already. A person with an Asian accent claimed to be from Microsoft’s tech team and said loads of hackers were messing with my computer. They offered to help fix it if I switched my PC on so they could guide me through it. No way I fell for that. I just told them if I ever have issues, I’ll get a proper IT specialist to take a look.

Got a call just now, same old nonsense. Some Asian bloke claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer was full of viruses and needed me to open settings to sort it out. Seriously, do they honestly believe we fall for that? I played along for a bit, then told him to piss off.

Got a call from an Asian bloke with an Edinburgh number claiming to be from Microsoft. He asked if he could speak to whoever uses the computer here. I told him Microsoft never contacts people like that and he's not legit. He got quite agitated and started arguing, so I just let him go on for a bit before hanging up. Now I've blocked the number through t####.

These blokes keep calling me two or three times daily. I've made it crystal clear that I'm not interested and asked them to cease, yet they persist with their incessant ringing. Supposedly, they're from Microsoft. I even mentioned that I don’t own a computer, but that hasn’t deterred them at all!

I got a call earlier today from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft’s tech support. When I asked where she was based, she said Thames Valley. I told her what a coincidence, ‘cos I supposedly work there too (which I don’t). She then asked for my employee ID, but I told her there’s no way I’d give that out over the phone. She didn’t seem convinced I was really with Microsoft, so I just told her I was sceptical she was from there either. Then she just ended the call.

Another ring on my phone - it’s becoming ever so tedious. I do wish there were a proper method to put an end to these incessant calls. I mean, if we have the number, isn’t there some way the authorities could intervene?

I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent, claiming she was ringing from Microsoft. She seemed uneasy and quickly ended the call when I bombarded her with questions. Not long after, another call came through from a man, also with an Indian accent, insisting my PC was infected with malware. I played along, and he used that old event viewer trick to show me a bunch of supposed 'viruses'. When he asked me to install remote desktop software, I flat out refused. That made him lose it, and he started shouting all sorts of nasty stuff at me. What a bunch of total scoundrels!

so some lad called michael phoned me claiming to be from microsoft, telling me to check my event viewer so he could ‘help’ fix issues on my computer. total scam, just a load of dodgy blokes trying it on. i wasn’t having any of it and gave him a piece of my mind. he ended up shouting nonsense about what he’d do to me and even my mum. don’t get caught out by this ‘event viewer’ rubbish. mine’s got over 8600 errors and warnings, none of which actually mean anything’s wrong.
