01617335012 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617335012 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls that claim to be from various computer or government services, often citing issues like hacked computers, expiring licences, or security risks. Callers frequently attempt to sound official, referencing known companies or departments, but use inconsistent accents and sometimes outdated personal details. Many recipients experience aggressive or threatening behaviour if they contest the call, while some encounters involve silence or hang-ups. These calls repeatedly urge actions on the computer that should be avoided. Callers often refuse to leave messages and ignore requests to stop. Blocking the number and not responding is strongly advised, as genuine organisations would not operate in this manner nor pressure recipients over the phone.

Got a call from 0161 733 6246 supposedly from the department of health and social security. Seemed dodgy to me, especially since they said they were local but the number doesn’t really match up with where they claim they’re from. Definitely felt off.

Got a call from some tech support people warning that my connection was about to be cut off. I said they should send me something in writing and then I just ended the call. Pretty sure it’s a load of rubbish.

I received a call from someone wanting to chat with my husband, who sadly left us about four years back. The caller claimed to represent the Computer Licensing Company. I informed them of his passing and mentioned that I highly doubted he’d be needing his computer these days, then I promptly ended the call.

Just got a ring from this number. Since I’m waiting on a hospital call, I always answer any 0161 numbers, but it turned out to be a scam which was proper annoying. Fingers crossed you can help put an end to these calls, cheers!

A woman called me up, and I immediately recognised it as another scam, as I’ve been inundated with these so-called ‘computer problem’ calls for ages. I firmly asked her to cease all communication and erase my number from her database, warning her that I’d involve the police if necessary. Her dismissive reply was, “Go ahead, I’ll keep calling you.” Absolutely dreadful behaviour! I’m definitely reporting this number and have now blocked it. It’s appalling to think how this would affect vulnerable older folks.

Not sure who it was, no voicemail or anything and the number didn’t look familiar. I guess it’s probably a scam since I don’t know anyone nearby, plus it’s not the first time they’ve rung. I’m registered with TPS so it’s pretty irritating!

01617335012 rang me and claimed they’d cut off my computer. I said if they tried, I’d call the cops. Then the person flipped it and said the police would come for me instead, accusing me of scamming. They even read out my address and threatened the police would be at my house any minute. Pretty scary stuff!

A woman from India called me out of the blue. She claimed that my computer had been compromised and warned I’d be facing repercussions similar to those who were also hacked.

Some guy called me claiming to be David Johnson (spoke with a strong accent) from a computer licensing team, something to do with my Windows PC.

I got a call from an Asian lady who asked for my husband by name. I was shocked because he’s been gone for more than 13 years. I just hung up straight away. It’s really strange and quite upsetting that she somehow had both his name and our number. Don’t understand how they found that info.

Got a call from someone called Steve, but his accent was clearly South Asian, which just didn’t add up. Usually, when a name and accent don’t match up like that, I’m immediately suspicious it’s a scam. He claimed he was from the computer licensing team and asked me to verify if I’d been using my PC - I said yes, then they just ended the call. Maybe I bored him or he gave up on me. When I’m free, I like to waste their time a bit. Do people even get caught out by these scams nowadays?

I got a call from someone named Alex claiming to be from Microsoft support. He told me my PC was hacked and that it was sending out emails asking people for money using my account. He even said they’d tracked it using the serial number. When I told him I didn’t have any serial number, he insisted I did and even gave an address which wasn’t mine at all. Then he warned that if I didn’t do what he asked, they'd gain access to my computer. I blocked the number straight away and reported it.

Got a bloke ringing up about some “windows messages” I’d apparently missed or not dealt with, right? I told him straight up, and quite rudely honestly, not to bother ringing again. But after he called a third time, I thought I’d hear him out. Turned out he said he wasn’t trying to sell me anything, just that my PC was apparently sending “alarming emails begging for donations.” I asked which email they were coming from, and he just hung up on me! Proper strange that.

This number has called me like 6 times over the last couple days. I missed the first couple of calls, but when I tried to ring it back, it said the number wasn’t in service. I finally picked up one time and they started saying my computer was in danger and I had to renew some licence to stop hackers. I clearly told them to stop calling, but they still got through another three times after that!

This number has phoned me about 6 times over the last couple of days. I missed their initial two calls, but when I dialled it back, it said the number's no longer in service.

I asked them to stop contacting me, yet they still rang me three more times afterwards.

This afternoon has been absolutely ridiculous-I’ve received the same call a staggering seven times in under ten minutes! In the end, I had no choice but to disconnect my phone line altogether.

Got a call earlier today claiming my Windows licence was about to expire and I had to renew it. I’ve dealt with this scam before, about a few years back, and it almost cost me £170 but luckily my daughter spotted it and stopped me just in time. Turns out the company isn’t real at all. Watch out - they’re trying to get into your PC to mess it up so you have to reinstall Windows or something like that. Total scam.
