01656458007 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01656458007 👆 is reported as a common scam number falsely claiming to be from Microsoft tech support, often involving attempts to access users' computers remotely. Callers typically use poor English and Indian accents, asking for specific individuals or personal details, then quickly hang up or react rudely when challenged. Many users describe silent calls, crackling lines, or no response after answering. The calls are widely identified as nuisance and potentially dangerous scams that waste time or attempt fraud. Reporting these calls to police cybercrime units and official fraud centres is emphasised as crucial, since blocking or ignoring alone rarely stops the scammers, who frequently use spoofed UK numbers. Overall, visitors should expect aggressive scam tactics, persistent calling, and a need to report incidents promptly to help authorities tackle this widespread issue.

I received a call claiming to be from the "tech team at Microsoft". It's definitely a dodgy operation! They tried to gain remote access to my computer. Whatever you do, don't install any applications they suggest! This number is definitely a scam. They told me there were problems with my computer and offered to help out, but I sensed something fishy straight away.

Got a missed call from this number, definitely sounds like one of those scams.

Had a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying she was from Microsoft and that my computer was at risk. I told her I don’t even own a computer, and she just hung up straight away. Classic scammer tactic.

Got a call from someone called Roy, speaking with a thick Indian accent. Claimed he was from Microsoft and that my PC was hacked or something. Figured I'd humour him so he wouldn’t bother others. He handed me a number and asked me to turn my computer on. I just left it and went for a shower, really just messing about to waste his time. When I got back, the bloke was still there, clearly thinking he'd hit the jackpot. I ended up giving him a code that basically spelled out "bugger off" to make my point!

A bloke rang me asking for Julia Pershing, I said I wasn’t her and he politely checked if he might get hold of her. Then a few days back, another guy with an Indian accent phoned from another number asking for the same person. He claimed to be from Microsoft but ended up telling me to bloody get lost! Pretty sure he wasn’t with Microsoft at all.

Got a weird call on my home phone, sounded like a total scam. The person on the line was talking in really broken English and kept asking if I was the owner of my computer. The line was all crackly too, so pretty dodgy overall.

On Saturday the 18th of February 2023, I got a call on my BT landline in Bridgend, Wales from the number 01656458007. After a bit of silence and a few "hello"s, I figured it was best just to hang up. Good thing I did, because I ended up reporting it over at bt.com/scams.

Got a call and when I picked up, it was just silence on the other end before they hung up. Proper nuisance, so I’ve reported and blocked the number with BT 1572 now.

The phone line was really scratchy and I had to say "Hello?" several times before anyone answered, which took about 15 seconds. Then a man said, "Hello, is this Mrs. ---?" I said yes, and he introduced himself as Steven Rickart from Microsoft, saying he wanted to talk about my computer. I just ended the call straight away. His accent wasn’t British, but I couldn’t figure out where he was from. Definitely sounded like a scam, so I flagged the number as suspicious.

There was this woman who asked me to confirm my name first, then tried to pull a Microsoft scam, but the moment I said Microsoft, she just cut the call straight away.
