01491520854 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01491520854 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number used by callers pretending to be from Microsoft, often claiming computer issues or security breaches. Callers frequently speak with foreign accents, notably Indian or Asian, and use aggressive, rude, or sarcastic tactics when challenged. Many attempts involve urging victims to input codes or grant remote access, followed by threats to block computers. Calls are sometimes silent or end abruptly when questioned. Numerous users confirm that genuine Microsoft representatives do not initiate unsolicited calls, identifying these as fraud attempts. The number has been repeatedly flagged with no legitimate message left, and blocking is generally ineffective due to recurring use of different spoofed numbers. Reported scams should be logged with official fraud agencies to aid wider action and protect vulnerable individuals.

It seems I've been caught up in a rather hefty road incident-though it certainly wasn’t due to any misstep on my part. Oddly enough, the call ended abruptly before I could elaborate. I've since added the number to my blocked contacts.

Somebody rang me saying they were from Microsoft, saying my computer was messed up. I played along for about ten mins just to waste their time. Then I asked them a few questions about Microsoft itself, and they suddenly ended the call.

I got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who kept ringing me up four times, hassling me to enter my license number into my laptop. When I said I couldn’t do it then, he said he'd call back later. But when I told him I didn’t buy that he was from Microsoft, he got quite rude. I told him if he really was legit, he wouldn't be shouting, and he threatened to block my computer. I figured I'd wait for his call around 3pm today. Planning to waste a bit more of his time before telling him the police are monitoring my phone and are onto him right now.

I had a feeling this was one of those dodgy scam calls, so I opted not to pick up the phone. Whenever a number looks unfamiliar, I let the answering machine catch it instead. That way, I can listen to what they're on about while it captures their message. If it turns out to be something legit, I’ll jump in and take the call, but more often than not, they hang up within moments - usually after about five seconds.

This morning my brother got a call from someone claiming to be "Christopher Brown from Microsoft," speaking with a pretty thick Indian accent. They were going on about his computer, but I told them straight up my brother doesn’t even own a computer and that we aren’t interested in scam calls like that. Then I just hung up on them. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me.

Just had a rather dodgy phone call from someone claiming to be affiliated with Microsoft. His grasp of English was quite poor, and he had a strong accent that led me to suspect all wasn't as it seemed. This chap is definitely not legitimate; he's a scam artist, and I'd advise steering clear of him.

Can’t repeat what he said back but the second word was definitely "off". What cheeky tosser’s eh?

Got a call from someone pretending to be with Microsoft, which immediately raised red flags since Microsoft never rings you up. They rattled on about my computer being hacked or something like that. When I asked if they could ring me later, the caller told me to phone 03448002400 instead. Looking it up here, it's flagged as suspicious.
