01617680578 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617680578 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam where callers falsely claim to be Windows technical support. They repeatedly ring, often letting the phone ring for a long time before hanging up, only to call back minutes later. When answered, they insist there are issues with the computer and demand payment for fixing it, usually around ninety-nine pounds. Some users note being scammed multiple times, with no real service provided and requests for refunds ignored. Genuine Microsoft representatives are never known to call unsolicited, so this is widely recognised as fraudulent. While a few mention initial repairs were made, the recurring calls and demands for money confirm it's a deceptive practice causing frustration and annoyance.

Big thanks to these folks for helping me get my computer up and running again - it kept freezing on me non-stop before!

Just checking if this number is really from the Windows support team.

These callers are definitely not representing Windows. It’s a scam! Microsoft doesn’t make phone calls to individuals, so steer clear of granting them access to your computer. Just tell them where to go!

I kindly request a full refund for the recent charges incurred for the repairs on my computer. Despite having it repaired five times, it has once again ceased functioning just a day after the last fix. I have no intention of engaging your services any further. Would you please inform me as soon as the funds have been returned? Thank you.

The folks claiming to be from WINDOWS TECHNICAL SUPPORT keep pestering me at all hours. They let the phone ring for nearly a whole minute before cutting the line, only to try again shortly after. It's been relentless - I’ve received five calls on a daily basis! Eventually, I answered, and wouldn’t you know it, they started rambling on about some supposed issue with my computer, dangling a £99.95 fix in front of me. I just told them to take a hike!

If you leave this number unanswered, they relentlessly keep trying to call you back. Out of curiosity, I let it ring for a proper while to see how long they'd persist - it clocked in at 45 seconds before they finally gave up. But wait, barely five minutes later, they were at it again. This time, I answered, and guess what? They claimed to be from Windows Technical Support, insisting that my computer had some issues that would set me back £99.95 to resolve! I swiftly told them where to shove it!
