01587985456 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01587985456 👆 is reported as an intrusive and persistent scam operation targeting UK residents with calls falsely claiming to be from Windows PC support. Callers, often with Indian or Asian accents, use poor-quality lines and pressurise recipients into believing their computers are infected or compromised, seeking remote access or personal information. Many experience silent calls, hang-ups, or aggressive behaviour when challenged. The number disregards TPS registrations and ex-directory status, causing widespread frustration. It is strongly advised not to engage, provide any personal or computer access details, and to report such calls to the appropriate authorities. Blocking the number and informing official bodies like the ICO or Action Fraud is recommended to help disrupt this fraudulent activity.

They rang me up three times today, despite my number being ex directory and on the TPS list. Really annoyed about it!! I picked up the last call and like others have mentioned, the line was dodgy with some Indian bloke saying there’s a problem with my computer. I told him I’d saved their number and would be reporting them.

Got calls from the same group twice last week and again today. Two blokes and a lady, all with Indian accents. The line was awful, loads of background noise. They asked if I was at my PC so they could read out my computer ID to show they were from Windows. Said my computer was full of viruses and they wanted to fix it. I told them they were scammers and to stop calling or I'd report them to B.T.

A man and woman from India kept ringing me a bunch last week and twice again today. They claimed there was something wrong with my computer, so I played along and said yeah, it’s running really slow. Then I joked I knew why - because my mouse hasn’t had any breakfast yet. After that, I told her to piss off and that was the end of it.

Terrible connection, this bloke from India rang me mum's place saying her computer had issues and she had to be near it. When I told him about the Do Not Call list, he just hung up. I did a 1471 and found this number. The call was at 11:37am, which was actually the second call this morning. My mum picked up the first one but couldn't hear a thing and ended up hanging up.

Got a call from someone called Stephen Peterson, speaking with an Indian accent but on a really bad line, claiming to be from "Windows PC Support". Like I've seen others say, he insisted there were errors on my computer. He gave me a number to ring back - 08081433718 - but I just ignored it to find out who these lads really are. As expected, total scammers. He tried hard to sound legit, even threw in some info and a postcode from Reading where Microsoft’s HQ is (RG6 1WG), but it wasn’t convincing at all. Best thing is to just ignore them or mess about wasting their time if you want!

Like most others, I got a call from a lady with an Indian accent saying there’s an issue with my computer. I asked if she was from that Microsoft scam I’ve heard about, and she suddenly got annoyed, called me a fraud, and hung up. You can actually find the whole scam on YouTube - they try to get you to let them access your PC, and if you don’t cough up money, they delete all your files. Watch out for this one!

Terrible connection, some bloke from Asia calling to say my computer was infected and started giving me all sorts of commands about msconfig and event viewer. I went along with it until he wanted me to go on some dodgy website. He was really pushy, but I told him to find a real job and stop messing about trying to nick people’s info. Honestly, it was kinda fun wasting his time and running up their phone bills since I had nothing else to do.

Got a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be from Windows support, asking for whoever handles the computers. I told her we don’t have any computers, then she asked if there was a laptop?? Ridiculous really! This isn’t the first time they’ve called around the same time each day. Even though I’ve told them to take me off their list and I’m on the TPS, they just keep ignoring me. I’ve now filed an official complaint with TPS because it’s clearly a scam and pretty worrying.

He called, and the person said they were from Reading Thames Valley Park. I think this is more than just annoying - it feels like some kind of scam, so I’d say this number is definitely suspicious.

Yesterday and today, this lady with an Asian accent kept calling me, saying my PC security was hacked. I asked who she was, and she said Microsoft PC support. When I asked for a number, she gave me 0808 143 2509. It’s weird because I was on my laptop right before the call and it suddenly froze. Couldnt even switch it off, had to hang up the phone and now it seems alright (hope it stays that way). These scam calls from India are relentless, I wish I could catch them and give them a taste of their own medicine.
