01614084448 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01614084448 👆 is reported as a common source of fraudulent calls impersonating tech support, specifically Microsoft. Callers often use foreign accents and push for remote computer access, claiming virus infections or security issues to extract payment details or install malware. Several victims experienced financial loss, had to wipe and reinstall their computers, and reported the numbers to their service providers. The consensus advises extreme caution: never provide personal or card details or allow remote access to your device unless you have independently verified the caller’s identity. These scams are persistent and sophisticated; blocking the number and reporting it to authorities is recommended. Always verify any tech support contact through official channels before engaging.

10 yearsI received a call from this number, but I was completely oblivious to the scam until my brother popped by and filled me in. He promptly switched off our laptop and called the number back. To his surprise, he was put through to someone claiming to be the "Manager," who insisted that the company was entirely above board and spun quite the tale.10 yearsI've had a similar experience with this number. A chap claiming to be "Jeff" from Microsoft rang me up, complete with an accent that put me on alert right away. He was giving me all sorts of instructions to type into my computer, which, lo and behold, would grant him remote access-though he cleverly neglected to mention that bit. To top it all off, he was eager to charge me £300 for some supposed "service" on my PC. It reeked of the classic line, "All I require are your payment details!" Beware of 24sevenpccare.com-absolute scam!JeffMicrosoft24sevenpccare. com10 yearsReceived a couple of calls on our landline from this number on Monday morning. What a sham! I wouldn't recommend engaging with them at all. They seem to be pretending to be locals but struggle to articulate their thoughts clearly. It's quite disappointing to see such behaviour which seems to undermine our nation's standards. Honestly, the world would be a more pleasant place without individuals like this around.10 yearsWe've received their bothersome calls four times just in the last few days, and if you check, their website is marked as unsafe by McAfee. Earlier today, I had a chat with "Ben" and his response was downright outrageous. He actually said, “Well madam, if anything goes awry with your computer, it’s entirely your own doing.” How incredibly cheeky of him!Ben10 yearsReceived a call from these individuals claiming to be affiliated with Microsoft, and they were adamant about verifying their identity. The only information they offered was that they were 'certified' by Microsoft. I mentioned that we were heading out and would get back to them later. Being from overseas, I can spot a scam a mile away, and this chap who introduced himself as Peter Watson is certainly not the real deal!MicrosoftPeter Watson10 yearsWould you be so kind as to share which authorities you informed about this scam? I’m thinking of alerting them myself. Many thanks!10 yearsCould this have been a scam or something genuine?11 yearsI've received a couple of calls in the last fortnight that were nothing short of outrageous. They claimed, quite absurdly, that they "knew I'd downloaded some sort of virus." Really? How on earth could they possibly know that? Then they had the cheek to say, "if you're using a Microsoft product, you're infected." Well, considering that a whopping 85% of computers globally run on Microsoft, that’s rather astonishing, isn't it? After they insisted we were squandering valuable time, we firmly told them to take a hike. Their reply? The same old line again! Just lovely, isn’t it? Take heed, everyone!Microsoft11 yearsExercise caution, everyone! When you mention that your card wouldn't go through, it could very well be that those individuals were counting on you to think that way. It's possible you inadvertently shared your card information under that guise, believing it was just a technical issue. If they now possess your card details, make sure to monitor your account closely and get that card cancelled immediately. These sorts of scams have a funny way of catching you off guard when you least anticipate it!11 yearsWe’ve recently received one of those odd phone calls and initially didn’t suspect anything awry. The caller went by the name Chris Brown - yes, you read that right! The accent had a ring of authenticity, but thankfully, owing to our backgrounds in security, we knew better than to engage with such unsolicited approaches. We listened politely for a moment, up until the point they tried to fish for access to our computer. Absolutely not, scammers! We’ve learned to be vigilant and urge everyone to remain on high alert. Don’t hand over any information or access - it’s simply not worth the risk!Chris Brown12 yearsBRAVO TO YOU! I'm hoping I can muster that level of courage before long, especially after we fell victim to a scam. Thankfully, our son was a hero and sorted out our computer-he did a complete overhaul and reinstalled all the necessary bits. It took him a good three hours, but he really saved us from a right pickle!BRAVO12 yearsI received the same phone call again. I even attempted to look up the website on my computer, but Virgin Media said it's either down or doesn't exist. After much back and forth, I finally told them to ring me back, but I'm still twiddling my thumbs waiting for the call to come through.Virgin Media12 yearsNorman! Our lad had to completely erase the computer and reinstall everything! These blighters can infect your device before you even know it! ON TOP OF THAT, they can get into your computer whenever they fancy as soon as you give them that initial access! Our son managed to reload mine the very next day. We’re absolutely thankful! Since our computer is crucial for our income, working from home, we absolutely need it to function! So, make sure you have your COMPUTER CLEANED OUT, BACK UP ALL YOUR FILES, and REINSTALL everything to restore it to its former glory before those rogues get their paws on it! Good grief, what a nuisance!Norman12 yearsOi, we've got Comcast and managed to set up a code to block these cheeky blokes who just gave us a ring again after they pulled a fast one on us around New Year! We’ve since blocked their number, but not before we had a right kerfuffle with cleaning up our computer, changing our credit card, and filing a scam report. I’m feeling pretty foolish about it, to be honest! There’s not a lot that can be done now, especially since these scammers are based abroad. It's vital to understand that no one should ever claim they can detect issues with your computer remotely. Once these dodgy characters gain access, they can cause some serious havoc!Comcast12 yearsAbsolutely. I've just had the same experience with them. It’s all rather ridiculous, to be honest. We asked when we might be able to call them again, and they handed us this number: "You can ring us, James Thomas." What a joke! Best to keep your distance from them.James Thomas12 yearsAcquired the very same ring and naively thought it was the real deal. I adhered to their guidelines. Thankfully, the bank intervened and blocked the transaction when these individuals drained our account. But seriously, what on earth have they done to our computer?13 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from "Microsoft Support." When I asked him for his identification, he provided me with a rather peculiar set of numbers to reach him again.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0161 408 4448)
