01424230262 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01424230262 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number affiliated with calls impersonating Microsoft or O2, attempting to trick individuals into divulging personal, banking, or security information. Callers use aggressive, rude, and sometimes abusive tactics, frequently attempting to convince recipients their computers are compromised or that fraudulent activity demands urgent action. The caller often knows the recipient's name and address, likely obtained from public directories, but this does not legitimise the call. Many report early morning calls at unreasonable hours, causing distress, particularly to elderly recipients. Victims are warned not to provide any codes or remote access and to block and report the number. Legitimate organisations like Microsoft do not make unsolicited calls regarding security issues. Users are advised to remain vigilant and consider call-blocking tools to prevent harassment.

3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were with O2 offering a 25% discount. They asked for a code I’d received via text, but I’m warning you don’t share that! Seems like they want to start a phone contract using your details, and you’ll end up paying for it without getting any phone or deal. Just hang up and block them straight away!4 yearsSomeone called saying there was a "pigeon" in my bank account and asked for my sort code and account number to fix it. Definitely sounded dodgy to me.4 yearsClaimed to be calling from Microsoft, but it turned out to be a con.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be calling from Microsoft, talking about some kind of scam issue.Microsoft4 yearsI didn't pick up, and there was no voicemail left. Definitely felt like a scam to me.4 yearsI answered the phone, then just held it up to the YouTube clip I was watching and let the caller listen for a bit before they eventually gave up and ended the call!4 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady who started calling me stupid and a dumbhead after I kept her on the line for ages. She kept threatening it was an international call and that my charges were going up the longer I stayed on, but I couldn’t help but stretch it out just to annoy her. Could almost tell she was rolling her eyes and whispering to someone in the background! Proper funny :) :) :)Asia4 years01424230262 rang my mum out of the blue and she was left feeling quite shaken by how pushy the call was. I’d really appreciate it if someone could look into this number and see about blocking it. If you need to reach me, please do so by email at [email protected]. Thanks a lot.4 yearsThis morning on 17/03/2022, I got three calls from 01424230262 on my landline. It was really frustrating because I was expecting a vital call about a poorly family member. I looked up the number online and turns out it’s a scam, which made it even worse.4 yearsI got a call from a young Asian woman claiming she was from Microsoft, saying my PC was infected. I told her this was the fourth time someone from "Microsoft" had rung me this week - seemed like they were really concerned about my computer's health! She just chuckled and then ended the call.Microsoft4 yearsThey called me saying there was some issue with my computer, but honestly, it’s a load of rubbish. I don’t even have those problems they mentioned. Felt like just another scam to me.4 yearsI got a call from a woman with an accent that wasn’t English, and she actually knew my name. When I asked what she was after, she just said, “I want to slap you.” I hung up straight away.4 yearsAvoid picking up if you get a call from this number.4 yearsWatch out - I got calls from someone pretending to be Microsoft, saying my computer was hacked or something. Just so you know, Microsoft never ring you out of the blue (you can check their site for proof). It’s always the same lady, but she uses loads of different numbers from places like Hastings and Wantage. Totally dodgy.MicrosoftWantageHastings4 yearsIndeed, I just got a call from this number claiming to be representing Microsoft. I hung up on them straight away. They called back inquiring about my abruptness. When I requested that they send me an email, I’ve yet to receive anything from them...Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming my computer was hacked by Microsoft. I told them I wasn’t having any of it and called them out as a scammer. They got rude after that - that’s when I just hung up. Job’s done.Microsoft4 yearsMicrosoft? Nah, I doubt it. Probably just scammers again, the same place those calls came from last week.Microsoft4 yearsTrue Call blocked this one and the message it gave was "Unfamiliar number / Whisper / Ended call while screening".4 yearsGot a call from a woman named Shirley claiming to be from Microsoft, saying someone was using my details illegally. She initially called from 01414049930. I quickly told her it sounded like a scam and ended the call. Then she phoned again from 01424230262, asking why I’d cut her off. I warned her I’d report this to Action Fraud if she didn’t stop, and she went quiet after that.ShirleyMicrosoftAction Fraud4 yearsI'd recommend not picking up if this number rings you.4 yearsThey claimed to be from Microsoft's security department, but it’s a total scam. You definitely can’t trust them.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call just after 7 in the morning, woke me and my partner right up. Didn’t bother picking up since that number rang before claiming to be Microsoft. Sick of these scam calls ringing all the time. Just bought a call blocker for the home phones, fingers crossed it sorts the problem.Microsoft4 yearsthis woman with an indian accent rang me claiming to be calling from microsoft about some errors supposedly coming from my router to my computer. i told her no errors and that microsoft never phones people at home. she agreed, saying microsoft don’t call households, but then warned if i didn’t cooperate she’d switch off my internet and lock my computer. when i called her out as a scammer, she got all worked up then ended with a “have a nice day.” honestly, i just laughed and thought it was pretty amusing.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from some scammer bright and early at 7 in the morning. Absolutely disgusting!4 yearsThese Microsoft scam calls are getting ridiculous. With all the tech we have nowadays, you’d think phone providers could just block these calls coming from overseas call centres. It’s annoying how they keep getting through.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from Microsoft super early, like 7 in the morning. Yeah right, as if I'd be up for that!Microsoft4 yearsGot a call "from Microsoft" claiming my PC was hacked and warning me about ignoring their messages. Honestly, don’t have the patience for these kinds of calls. This is like the third time they’ve rung me about it lately. Total nonsense, if you ask me.Microsoft4 yearsI picked up the phone and there was a weird pause before the person spoke, which immediately made me suspicious it was a cold call. They already knew my name and where I live, then they started saying something about suspicious websites being accessed from my place. I didn’t hang about and just ended the call. Honestly, I’m curious how they get all that info in the first place.4 yearsI got a call and left a message saying "hello, hello," kinda like I thought it was someone close waiting for me to answer. The voice sounded slightly like me daughter, so I figured I should double check the number. After redialling, turns out it’s a Hastings area code. No way that’s my daughter’s number, as none of my family live there. At first, I just assumed it was a wrong number, but then I looked it up here and got curious.Hastings4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft, really sick of these scam calls, especially when they ring up first thing in the morning.Microsoft4 yearsJust had the usual "I'm from Microsoft" scam phone call bright and early at 7:25 AM. Honestly, who has the spare minutes to chat with these blokes at that hour? Ridiculous!Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Microsoft, claiming my internet had an issue. When I just laughed and said “no way,” they got all shouty and called me a dinosaur, implying I was ancient. Definitely blocked that number straight away.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from someone who said my computer was hacked. Just a heads up for everyone to watch out for this kind of scam.4 yearsMy husband was the one who picked up the call, but the person just hung up straight away. Feels like they were maybe looking for an older person's voice to frighten them into giving away private details? I don’t know any folks in Hastings, and if they genuinely wanted a chat, they had plenty of chances. Seems like a dodgy call to me!Hastings4 yearsGot a call from 01424230262 loads of times, really annoying. Some kind of Microsoft scam, kept on being rude too. Avoid that number!Microsoft4 yearsGot a call at 7.15 in the morning, seriously? Who on earth thinks that’s a proper time to ring someone! I’m well annoyed by this. Since I struggle with insomnia, these annoying calls are honestly a risk to my wellbeing. How long are they going to let this annoying nonsense carry on before it’s banned for good?4 yearsThis bloke said he was ringing from Microsoft, but when I told him the person he was after was out doing some shopping, he just dropped the call.Microsoft4 yearsSome bloke claiming to be from Microsoft rang me up about my home PC being hacked. He told me he was calling from Reading, but my phone showed a Hastings number instead. When I told him I knew it was a scam, he didn’t seem too pleased about it.MicrosoftReadingHastings4 yearsJust got a call but noone said anything when I picked up. Ghost call for sure.4 yearsI picked up the phone at 01424230262 but there was silence on the other end. Nobody said a word.4 yearsI didn’t answer and there was no voicemail left. Took a look at this website to check who it was, then blocked the number straight away. Definitely a scam!4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from "Monitor Calls for the elderly." No internet connection or anything linked to Microsoft like they said. Left a voicemail, but she probably won’t answer since it might scare her. Sounds like a scam to me, best just to ignore it.Microsoft4 yearsI got a call claiming to be from Microsoft, but the person calling was really aggressive and quite rude.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from some Shelly claiming to be from Microsoft tech support about my PC. It was getting a bit dull, so when my lad joked about them switching to a new scam, she just hung up.ShellyMicrosoft4 yearsI just got a call where the person only said ‘hello’ and then hung up without saying anything else.4 yearsI answered with a hello and waited, but after a good nine seconds of silence, they just hung up on me. Definitely looks like either some time wasters or scammers to me.4 yearsWoke me up way too early with a scam call at half past seven claiming my PC was beaming out some kind of signal from Microsoft. Told them to check the time and basically to jog on.WOKE ME UPMicrosoft4 yearsReceived a call at 15:45 from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. The number was 01424230262. I promptly told them where to go. Typical of Hastings, isn't it?MicrosoftHastings4 yearsNot sure what her deal was, but she said she was calling from Microsoft Security. I told her I only use a Mac, so I don't mess with Microsoft stuff. When I asked her some questions, she got really rude and said I had no right to talk to her that way. I called her out on being a scammer and said I’d report her, then just hung up.Microsoft Security DivisionMicrosoft4 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were from Microsoft and that my phone was hacked. I hung up straight away, but then they called back just a few minutes later from another number. I ended the call again. They tried a third time with a different number, but I just ignored it and didn't bother to listen to any voicemail. This kept happening with new numbers, which was properly annoying.Microsoft4 yearsI picked up when this number rang, greeted them like we do at work, but got no answer at first so I tried again. Then a lady’s voice came through saying something like, “you need to help yourself first” a couple of times. I asked what that was about and she just gave a cheeky laugh before hanging up. I’ve blocked the number now.4 yearsThis woman claimed to be from Microsoft, saying I'd got some dodgy software on my pc. I told her I didn’t want anything to do with it and hung up. But then she called back and started going on louder and louder. I had to tell her again that I was done with the call.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call on 24/02/2022 from someone saying they were with Microsoft's "tech support" - yeah, right! I just ended the call and blocked the number. Bet they’ll try again from a different one. What a bloody annoyance.Microsoft4 yearsSomebody pretended to be from Microsoft when they called me.

Avoid them!Microsoft4 yearsDodgy broadband company trying to rip me off!4 yearsGot a call just after 7 in the morning from what sounded like an Asian woman, but she just cut off straightaway. Lately, when I feel up to it, I’ve been asking for their company address and postcode. Once, I managed to keep a guy chatting for quite a while, only for him to say he wasn’t allowed to give me the postcode! Another time, the person just blurted out ‘England’ as if that was enough.England4 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft - total scam, no doubt about it.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call first thing in the morning that felt like pure harassment.4 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from "Microsoft". I said I don't even own a computer. Then she tried asking about my laptop, and then if I had a mobile. I told her nope, no laptop, no mobile, and not even a landline. After that, she just disconnected. Honestly, it made me chuckle a bit.Microsoft4 yearsHad a call from someone named Alan claiming to be with Microsoft. Sounded a bit dodgy to me. Don't reckon it was legit.AlanMicrosoft4 yearsGot a call not long ago and looked this place up. Saw some folks suggesting ways to block these calls. Think I might give it a go. Seriously need to do something, these nonstop calls trying to scam me are driving me mad.4 yearsGot a few calls from this number, but my phone’s set to block them. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything.4 yearsThey kept saying they were from Microsoft... I've had loads of calls like that. So irritating.Microsoft4 yearsI got a call from this number but when I answered, no one spoke. I ended up blocking it.4 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming to be calling from Microsoft's branch in Reading. I mentioned that Microsoft only has my mobile number, not my landline, and asked if she could call me back on my mobile. Oddly enough, she then called my landline again, apparently mistaking it for my mobile. She sounded really convincing and seemed very well prepared. Since she didn’t seem to know the difference between a landline and a mobile, it’s quite likely she was calling from abroad.MicrosoftReadingUK4 years01424230262 I told him nobody here by that name and he just kept going on, asking if I was the cleaner. Said I sounded like one, which I found really rude. He kept pushing that I must be the cleaner before finally ending the call.4 yearsLoads of calls from someone pretending to be from Microsoft, really annoying! I just end up putting the phone down each time.Microsoft4 yearsMy Nan got a call from 01424230262, some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft.

Luckily, she saw straight through it and didn't take any of his nonsense, especially when he started trying to make her feel bad.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call on my landline the other day, even tho it usually blocks numbers it doesn't recognise. It didn't actually ring and they never dropped a message either. Pretty strange!4 yearsSome bloke rang up, said he was from Microsoft and there was something wrong with my PC. Honestly, it's all a load of rubbish, typical scam stuff like those so called PC wizards. Think the call came from Hastings, not the usual Indian accent this time, sounded more English, maybe somewhere near London originally. Don't fall for it!MicrosoftHastingsLondon4 yearsOh great, got another call from some "Microsoft" rep - so original, right? Total muppet with no clue and pretty rude to boot. Claimed they were ringing from Reading but was actually using a number from Kent. Honestly, if you’re gonna fake it, at least try a bit harder!MicrosoftReadingKent4 yearsI had a rather suspicious call from a lady purporting to be from Microsoft support, suggesting there was an issue with my computer. Really now, quite the cheeky scam, isn’t it?Microsoft4 yearsI got a call from this number first thing at 7am today and it really dragged me out of bed.4 yearssome bloke rang me claiming he was with microsoft, not too sure about it thoMicrosoft4 yearsThere’s absolutely no justification for anyone hailing from Hastings to be ringing me up.

I quickly ended the call. Right after, the number 01424230262 rang me and they kept asking why I’d hung up earlier. They went on about some international hacking activity on my computer.

Definitely dodgy!4 yearsSo, I answered the phone and some Indian lady immediately said my name, then claimed she was Amanda Gray from Microsoft's tech team, talking about my computer. I told her straight away she wasn’t from Microsoft and to stop ringing people’s houses. She ended the call with “oh fu@k off” and slammed the phone down. These Microsoft scam calls keep coming from all sorts of numbers around the UK. The thick Indian accent is a dead giveaway that it’s just another scam.Amanda GrayMicrosoftUK4 yearsThey kept ringing me at all hours today, started as early as 7:15 in the morning!!!4 years01424230262 rang me earlier. The woman on the end was really rude, claiming she was from Microsoft's cyber security. She began yelling at me, so I just hung up.Microsoft4 yearsI got a call from 01424230262, with a lady claiming to be from Microsoft. I was a bit doubtful and asked her, “And which Microsoft branch are you from exactly?” That seemed to set her off - she started threatening me, saying she was a #### and even talked about planting a bomb under my bed. She did mention my full name, initials, and home address, but that info's all easy to find in the phone book. I've already passed everything on to Thames Valley Police, and they’re looking into it now.MicrosoftThames Valley Police4 yearsI’m pretty sure this is a scam. I mean, I don’t know anyone in Hastings, and the caller had this weird foreign accent that seemed off.
