01491520852 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01491520852 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance linked to scam calls, often posing as Microsoft technical support with aggressive and deceptive tactics. Callers frequently use fake or spoofed UK numbers, including local STD codes, and deliver silent or threatening messages. Many report rude behaviour, attempts to gain remote computer access, and harassment, especially targeting vulnerable individuals such as the elderly. Calls often involve impersonations by foreign-accented callers and attempts to extract personal details or panic recipients about computer issues. No legitimate contact is established, and many advise ignoring, blocking, and reporting these calls to official fraud authorities. This number typifies a broader ongoing scam problem affecting UK consumers, necessitating collective reporting and legislative intervention to curb such fraudulent activities.

I received a call from this number, but they hung up before I could even say anything. When I tried to ring back, I was met with a couple of seconds of some silly hold music, and then it went completely dead. What a pointless bother!

This number wasn’t saved in my contacts so I just didn’t pick up. They left a weird kinda message but it was just a few mumbling sounds, probably reacting to my ansaphone now playing my dog barking. After seeing other people’s comments, I reckon it was “Microsoft” again, lol. They rang a week ago too, and I actually answered then cos I was expecting a plumber. The moment they said “Microsoft” I hung up straight away - everyone knows that’s a dodgy scam trying to steal your info. Total nonsense and should be illegal.

Once more, I find myself inquiring as to their identity, as I refrained from providing my own details. When I questioned them about their call, they fell silent. The last time this number reached out to me, it was regarding a so-called “Microsoft” problem. Fortunately, I've got a secondary backup for my accounts, so they won't be getting anything from me!

Some bloke with an Indian accent called me pretending to be from Microsoft. I told him I didn’t believe he was actually from Microsoft, and he said he'd share his Microsoft ID to prove it. I told him that just giving me some number doesn’t mean much since I can't check if it’s real. He was quite pushy and not very polite. Thinking it was a scam, I just said goodbye and ended the call. Then, he rang me back a bit later but I didn’t bother answering.

01491520852 keeps calling me, but when I answer, there's total silence - classic scam or nuisance style, like loads of calls I’ve had from around that area.

Had the most annoying phone call today, some guy named Kevin with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. He asked if I was the primary user of my PC. When I didn't give him any info, he actually threatened I'd end up in prison for hacking and insisted I hand over my computer to him. I just laughed it off, called him nuts, and then he got really nasty and started swearing like crazy. His English was quite poor, but somehow he knew all the bad words!

Received a call from someone with an Asian accent who identified herself as Jennifer. She only had a couple of quick questions for me but claimed I was the only one she was chatting with that day! It was a bit concerning as she already had my name and address. I decided to end the conversation abruptly and promptly blocked her number. I did a quick search to find out more about the number, but the results were rather baffling!
