Phone number ☎️ 01619326141 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving callers impersonating Microsoft or BT support, often with Asian accents, warning that computers have been hacked or licences will be cancelled.

On 24th May 2019, I got a call from Christine who was ringing from Lauder, Scotland, using the number 01578 813 834. Then a few days later, on the 27th May at 10:11 am, she phoned again but from Llandovery in Wales on 01550 532 515. She wanted to know about our computers. Just FYI, all of them are in perfect working order. That’s that.

Today, I got a phone call from a guy who had an Asian-sounding accent and said his name was Jerry Reci. He claimed he was from a Microsoft department and that they’d been trying to reach me about my Windows ID being compromised because someone was supposedly using my details to ask for money. He said my computer had been hacked, and if I didn’t do what he said, I’d lose my Windows. I didn’t feel right about it at all and told him no. It’s obvious this was just a scam.

Got a call from a bloke claiming he was from Windows, saying my computer had been hacked or something. I told him straight up I didn’t buy it and asked for his number. He gave me 01619326141. The guy was really pushy and kept trying to keep me on the line like he was hoping I'd fall for it. Didn’t have time for that so I just cut him off in the middle of what he was saying.

I received a phone call earlier today from an individual claiming that my computer had been hacked, suggesting that unsavoury characters were using it for dubious purposes. Naturally, I was rather sceptical, so I insisted on getting a contact number before divulging any personal details. They provided me with 01619326141 and were particularly interested in my licence number. After doing a bit of research on this number, I’ve decided against giving them a call back. Better safe than sorry, I reckon!

Got a call from 02044238956, but when I said I don’t recognise the number, they just hung up. They tried telling me my Microsoft licence was about to be revoked and that I needed to be by my computer so they could access it. Watch out for these sorts of calls!

I got a call from 02064638956 where the person said my PC was hacked or something like that. When I asked for their phone number, they told me 01619326141 instead. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust either of those numbers - they sound dodgy to me.

I've received a couple of phone calls from the number 0201 5245434 on the 24th of January. They claimed that my computer had been compromised. When I inquired about their identity, the woman claimed to be from Windows customer support, which made me quite sceptical, so I decided to hang up. Fast forward to today, and I got another call from the very same number. The chap on the line, who introduced himself as Mike Read, was quite insistent. I reminded him that I’d already had a call the previous day and that I had double-checked with Microsoft, who informed me it was all a ruse. He then asked me to ring back at 0161 9326141. I urge everyone to be vigilant-if you get a call from either of these numbers, it's best to hang up right away and block them!

Got a phone call from 07215245246 earlier. The woman claimed to be from Windows and told me my computer was hacked, so they had to cancel my licence. She wanted to access my computer remotely, but I told her my internet wasn’t working. She just ended the call straight away. Seriously, don’t let anyone take over your PC like that.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from a tech support team, insisting that my computer had been compromised and was spamming emails asking for cash. The lady introduced herself as Anna Williams and provided this phone number. After about fifteen minutes of chatting, I thanked her for the heads-up and stated that I'd be informing the authorities about it. She promptly ended the call.

I received a call from someone named Helen, claiming that my computer had been hacked into. Just your typical scam call, really. I've tracked similar calls back to Mumbai previously. I tend to humour them and keep them on the line as long as I can. It's my little way of preventing these crooks from targeting those who might fall for their ruse. I managed to keep Helen chatting for roughly ten minutes before I cheekily suggested I could ring her back on her home phone, ideally during her dinner time with the family. And just like that, she hung up on me!

Today, my folks got a rather alarming phone call from someone claiming to be with 'Windows Licensing.' They said their computer had been hacked. When my parents pressed for the caller's name and number, he provided the number listed above along with the name Derek Offer. I'm not entirely convinced that's his actual name or how it's meant to be spelled. To make matters worse, he was quite impolite when they requested more information.

Recently, I've received a couple of phone calls asserting that messages were being dispatched from my Facebook account, which the caller insisted had been compromised. He attempted to extort £200 from me, promising that everything would be resolved in a jiffy. Of course, I refused to hand over any money and told him outright that I recognised it as a scam. He continued to bicker, so I decided to end the conversation abruptly. It’s utterly outrageous! I sincerely hope these con artists get apprehended soon; preying on the elderly is simply revolting. Honestly, how do they manage to rest easy at night?

My elderly dad recieved a call from an asian guy sayin his computer was full of viruses. He managed to convince dad to switch it on, askin loads of questions and had him clickin on different links. Lucky for me, I was just poppin round to see him and stepped in to take the call. I asked the bloke who he was and what his number was. He gave me a number, 01619326141, sayin he was from Windows customer support. I ended the call imediatly and shut down dad’s computer. The number the asian fella rang from was a mobile.

Had a rather distressing phone call yesterday from a chap named Eric Arthur, who insisted that my computer had been compromised and that messages were being sent out soliciting money. I mentioned that I would need to wait for my son to boot up the computer, and he kindly provided me with a number for my son to ring. Fingers crossed, I won’t have to deal with this again-but one can only hope!

I've been receiving calls from a lady named Mary claiming to be from Microsoft, insisting that my computer has been compromised. She alleges that some nefarious individuals are after my cash and are seeking details about my device to avert disaster, threatening to shut it all down if I don’t comply. First off, it’s a common fact that Windows doesn’t make unsolicited calls like that. Secondly, if she’s truly looking for a way to earn a few quid, she’d have better luck peddling curries!

I received a call from someone who had an Asian accent claiming to be from BT, insisting there was an issue with my router. I immediately suspected it was a scam and, not long after, another individual with a similar accent got on the line, this time claiming to be a police officer. He threatened me with imprisonment if I didn’t comply with his demands. The thing is, I don’t even have a BT service or a router! Clearly, it was a fraudulent call, and I have filed a report with the police regarding the incident.

I've received three calls from an Asian gentleman this week alone. I ended the conversation prematurely on two occasions, yet he's continued to persistently call me back. He claims there's an issue with my router needing urgent attention regarding the lights. I made it clear that his calls felt harassing, and I intended to report him, which provoked an aggressive response from him; he threatened to keep ringing me. After that, I decided to hang up once more. Honestly, it’s all rather distressing.

On the 29th of August, I received a call from a chap claiming to be from BT, supposedly reaching out from BT Tower regarding an issue with my internet connection. I immediately sensed it was a scam (how audacious of him to insinuate it was anything but when I hadn’t revealed any personal information!). I mentioned I wasn’t currently online, prompting him to ask how many lights were illuminated on my router. I told him, “None whatsoever,” to which he reacted with disbelief. Subsequently, I requested his official work number, which he reluctantly provided as 1588 3727 23. Naturally, I pointed out that it didn’t fit the profile of a proper UK number. He then threatened to disconnect my router, and I simply replied, “Go ahead!” At that, he hung up the call.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent telling me someone had hacked into my computer and was using my details. I told him I don’t even own a computer, but he kept going on like he knew better and said my info was being stolen. Then he offered to sort it out for me. He finished the call by saying he’d block my computer or something - bit ridiculous if you ask me!

I received a call from a gentleman of Asian descent who was rather hard to comprehend. He claimed to be representing Virgin, the same provider I use, and insisted that my router had some sort of infection that needed urgent attention-apparently, if it wasn't sorted within a couple of hours, various devices in my home could be compromised. He mentioned that they could rectify the issue, but I needed to be sitting in front of my computer to follow along with the procedure. I politely declined, offering to contact Virgin directly in half an hour instead. This seemed to irk him quite a bit, so I decided to end the call. Afterward, I reached out to Virgin and confirmed that everything was perfectly fine on their end.

I received a call from a chap with an Asian accent who introduced himself with a rather British-sounding name. He claimed to be from Windows support and inquired about my well-being.

Exercise extreme caution and refrain from sharing any information with these unscrupulous individuals. Earlier this year, I fell prey to their deceitful tactics, resulting in a loan taken out in my name for a shocking £11,000. If I had been forced to repay it, it would have left me nearly £18,000 out of pocket, leading me straight to bankruptcy. I cannot stress this enough: do NOT divulge any details, not even acknowledge that you own a computer. If you receive a call from an unfamiliar number, it’s best not to engage at all. Stay vigilant! On a positive note, my bank caught the suspicious transaction almost immediately and managed to halt it.

I had an unsettling encounter with a chap claiming my BT router was malfunctioning. Trouble is, I'm a Virgin customer! He threatened to disconnect my internet if I didn't pick up when he phoned back. His manner was quite aggressive and overbearing. When I raised my voice, he did offer an apology, yet insisted he could still cut me off! I've verified the number and now I plan to hang up on him the moment he tries to ring again.

I received a call on my wife's phone from someone who clearly was part of a scam. He introduced himself as David Smith, which struck me as rather implausible given his pronounced Asian accent. To see how far he would go, we decided to play along and probe for details. Unfortunately, he quickly turned aggressive, prompting us to hang up. He claimed to be representing the technical department of Microsoft and provided the phone number (0161) 932 6141. However, our investigation revealed that he wasn’t calling from that number at all. He purportedly was contacting us from a location in Manchester, specifically at 3000 Aviator Way, M22 5TG. When we questioned him about how he knew we were customers of Microsoft, we asked for confirmation of our name and address, which he couldn’t provide-surprise, surprise! Instead, he reverted to his pre-scripted lines, becoming increasingly exasperated with our inquiries. Kudos to him for his tenacity, though!

I kept the caller on the line while I pretended to look for my specs and other bits and bobs. The chap had a pronounced Asian accent but introduced himself as Sam Williams.

Someone from India called me, claiming my router was full of viruses. I’m pretty sure that’s rubbish since I just bought it and only have a tablet and phone connected.

After doing a bit of digging and discovering this number's reputation here, I'm rather disappointed they quit on me. I’ve dealt with these cheeky blighters before, always prattling on about remote access to my computer, and I absolutely relish the chance to give them a piece of my mind! Here’s hoping they try again, the utter numpties. When you stop and consider it, these scammers are practically begging for a good bit of banter and a chance to vent your frustrations. So why not let off some steam? Who knows, you might even turn their daft attempts into a bit of fun amidst the annoyance!

Someone pretending to be from Microsoft called me, just like others said here. I told them I don’t actually own a computer, and they ended the call immediately.

Had a chap by the name of "Jim Walker" on the line, speaking with quite a strong accent that was distinctly Asian. He claimed to be affiliated with the Windows Technical team. That’s about the point when I decided to hang up.

This number kept ringing me for ages. Finally picked up and the bloke said he was from Windows tech support. I threw a few questions back at him, then told him I don’t even own a computer. That seemed to shut him up pretty quick. These scams really need to be cracked down on. I actually got hit with one of these calls about four years ago too.

I received a call today that I promptly ended. When I redialled the number, I was greeted by a pre-recorded message from Microsoft. I've since reported the incident to the online fraud prevention team of the police.

I keep receiving persistent calls from some Asian chap and lady claiming to be from Windows technical support, insisting there's an issue with my computer. The funny thing is, I don’t even use a laptop; that’s my partner's domain, and he’s often away for work. They still manage to ring when he’s not here, even though no one has touched the computer! At times, they've been rather rude and even intimidating. Just a heads up about these untrustworthy individuals - stay cautious!

Got a call from an Asian woman claiming she was with TT Business, saying someone was messing with our internet. I told her it was a bit early to discuss this kind of stuff, but she kept pushing, demanding I give her a time to ring back. Proper rude attitude she had.

One of my mates, a lovely lady, found herself in a similar pickle recently, losing £520 from her bank account. She got in touch with her bank right away, but alas, the funds had already vanished. It’s such a shame to see someone so kind-hearted getting taken advantage of like that!

Got a call from this number today, with the same old story about fixing my internet. The person on the other end was clueless though, didn’t even seem to notice it was a company number, not a personal line. Pretty clear this is a scam - don’t share any info or let them near your PC. Best thing to do is hang up straight away, then make sure to block or add them to your blacklist so they don’t bother you again.

Earlier today, precisely at 10:45, I received a rather alarming call from an Asian gentleman concerning my home phone. He claimed that my computer had been compromised and that my Windows licence was on the verge of cancellation. When I declined to access my computer as he insisted, he became quite rude, insisting it required immediate attention. I managed to jot down his name-Derek After-and his number. I told him I would get back to him when it suited me better; what a laugh! It seems he’s anticipating my call before 7 o'clock this evening. Good luck with that!

I received a rather unusual phone call earlier today from a woman of Asian descent, who insisted that my computer was implicated in sending out hacked emails to various recipients. She was quite pushy, urging me to hop on my computer immediately. When I requested a contact number, she provided me with 0161 932 6141, claiming her office was in Manchester... Naturally, I decided to look up this number and stumbled upon this site!

I received a rather alarming phone call earlier today from a woman with what I would describe as an Asian accent, claiming to represent Windows Customer Support. She informed me that my computer had been compromised and that she needed to turn it off. The call was marred by considerable background noise, leading me to suspect something was off. As I expressed my doubts, her tone grew increasingly confrontational; she insisted that she merely wished to show me the hackers' messages or she would take steps to shut my device down. I asked for a contact number so I could double-check their legitimacy, and she provided me with 0161 6141 932. However, when I dialled the number, it turned out to be invalid. A quick search revealed that this number has been flagged by others as suspect as well.

Got a ring from someone claiming to be Windows Support, they said they were calling from 3000 Avia Way, Manchester M22 5TG but the actual call came from 07769268541. Went along with their spiel about my pc being infected, kept chatting to them, asking questions. They even gave me some licence code but couldn’t name my operating system. Eventually they got a bit fed up after I kept questioning and said they had to end the call since their shift was finishing, promised to call back tomorrow. Well, I'm adding these two numbers to my block list right away!

Today, I received a rather peculiar phone call from this number. An operator, who had quite a thick Asian accent, claimed to be from Microsoft customer support. I expressed my skepticism and told her outright that I thought she was being dishonest. She went on to assert that my Microsoft licence was set to expire in just three days and insisted that my computer was under some sort of hacking threat. Feeling uneasy, I threatened to contact the police and requested her direct phone number and location. She provided me with 01619326141 and an address at 3000 Aviator Way, Business Park, Manchester, UK. After ending the call, I dialled the number back only to hear a recorded message in what I would describe as impeccable Queen's English which sounded quite convincing. Nonetheless, I decided to terminate the call and do a bit of digging online, which ultimately led me to this website. It's a relief to have discovered this!

Recently received a rather dubious call from someone identifying himself as David Wlliams, claiming to be from Windows Support. He insisted that my computer license had been compromised and was apparently being utilised for some shady scams. When he urged me to switch on my computer, I firmly conveyed that I wouldn’t be doing so and would rather let my IT support handle any such issues. He provided a return number along with Extension 34 and said he'd be following up with another call tomorrow. Additionally, he claimed their office was situated at Manchester Business Park, MG22 5TG. Quite the suspicious encounter!

I received a rather dubious call today from an Asian chap who claimed my Microsoft licence was set to be cancelled. I inquired what my actual number was to verify with my techie and said I'd get back to him the following day before hanging up. He then had the audacity to ring me again, quite irate this time. I reminded him it wasn’t tomorrow just yet, and disconnected once more. This bloke evidently couldn’t take a hint and rang back again, clearly livid. I told him I had his number and was thinking of reporting him to trading standards. In response, he told me to shove off before abruptly disconnecting. My advice: keep a record of these dodgy callers and share experiences like this to warn others!

I received a call from a chap named "Mike Reed," who, alongside his associate "Alex Williams" (both spoke with noticeable foreign accents), attempted to persuade me that my computer had been compromised by some nefarious individuals and that my Windows licence was on the verge of termination. They claimed to represent the Windows support team and offered to remedy the situation for me. When I replied that my Wi-Fi was not functioning, they seemed rather put out. I later tried to return their call, but there was no answer. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I received a rather dubious phone call from someone identifying himself as "Jerry Williams," allegedly working for Windows Customer Support out of Manchester. He was insisting on revoking or transferring my computer licence number-whatever that means. He had the gall to tell me that my computer had been compromised and claimed it was being used for nefarious activities, of all things! He even went as far as to blame the Russians. After I hung up on him, he had the audacity to ring me back twice! Now, he’s on about calling me again at a time we supposedly agreed upon tomorrow. What an absolute nuisance!

He was quite insistent that I needed to either revoke or transfer my computer's licence number.

Got a call from an Asian call centre, loads of background noise, warning me my PC was being hacked. They wanted me to run some kind of code to fix it and gave me this number when I asked to double-check their story. Also gave a fake Microsoft address. They sounded convincing at first but seemed really dodgy. Pretty sure they were after remote access to plant malware and nick personal info. I can’t see Microsoft making these sorts of calls unless you’ve got a special agreement with them. Definitely stay clear of this sort of scam.

I received a rather dodgy call from someone claiming to be affiliated with Microsoft. This individual, who appeared to be from Asia, insisted that my computer was running sluggishly. Before I even had a moment to think, he seemed to gain access to my device and began tinkering with it, adding various icons and accounts. At that moment, I was in the middle of some online banking, which put me in a right panic. I promptly contacted my bank as these blokes directed me to join something called Zoho. I deleted everything in a hurry and shut down my computer. They are a right nuisance, attempting to siphon cash straight from my bank account!

He insisted I take down his name and number, stating I would need to contact him to have my PC unblocked. He ended up giving me the digits above and said his name was Ryan, but the bloke couldn't even keep his story straight. I've promptly added the number to my blocked list!

There’s this guy Allan, who sounds Asian, ringing up and trying to freak folks out by telling them their computers have already been hacked. He offers to help and throws around a so-called License number for your machine. He also claims he’s sent warning emails, but apparently hackers have deleted them all. Pretty lame scare tactic if you ask me.

Quite reminiscent of what others have experienced. This chap identified himself as Paul Thompson, claiming he was from Microsoft and that my computer had been compromised. He went on to say that he’d have to shut down my account if I didn’t comply with his demands to power up my device and follow his instructions. I wasn’t having any of it, though; I told him to ring back when my son was around. Somehow, I doubt he’ll bother to follow up.

This morning, I received a rather unsettling phone call from a gentleman named Paul, who claimed to be affiliated with Microsoft. He alarmingly informed me that my computer was being compromised, and supposedly had my license number in his possession. Mind you, the only machine in my home is managed by a professional IT service due to its work-related nature. Paul's tone was quite menacing as he went on to threaten me with imprisonment, a hefty fine of £5,000, and accused me of assisting criminals. His words left me feeling both intimidated and harassed. Honestly, it all smells like an elaborate scam to me.

Naturally, I probed for the licensing code, as well as the name, address, and contact number of this so-called company. He bizarrely replied that it was the CIA, of all things! He mentioned an address at Manchester Business Estate, 3000 Aviator Way, postcode M22 5TG, along with the phone number he'd provided. Curiously, that address seems to lead to a business called A&J Interiors in Manchester. I can only imagine their surprise!

I received a call earlier today from a chap who informed me that one of our computers was sending out spam emails under my name. This Mike Reed fella provided me with a rather lengthy 32-digit number, asserting it was a Microsoft licence key for all the machines on our network. However, being aware that each computer typically has its own unique licence, I told him I needed to verify this before proceeding and would ring him back. I'm currently in the process of checking this number. I have no intention of allowing him to dictate any actions on my computer or share any further details, as it clearly seems like an attempt to extract more sensitive information from me.

I received a call this morning alerting me that one of our computers was sending out spam emails under my name. The caller, who identified himself as Mike Reed, provided me with a rather lengthy 32-digit number, asserting it was a Microsoft licence key for all devices connected to our network. Given that I'm aware each computer should possess its unique licence, I informed him I'd verify this information independently and would return his call. I'm currently in the process of checking this number. I certainly won't be allowing him to dictate any actions regarding my computer or request any further details, as it’s clear this could just be a ruse to extract more personal data.
