Phone number ☎️ 01784279717 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance linked to aggressive scam calls, often impersonating Microsoft representatives warning of computer security threats. Callers frequently disconnect abruptly when questioned or challenged, with many speaking rapidly and indistinctly, sometimes exhibiting rude or abusive behaviour. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, users receive multiple daily calls, causing concern for vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly. The calls often involve attempts to extract personal details or sell fraudulent security services. Many recipients identify the number as spam and have blocked it, while others note silent calls or hang-ups upon answering. Authorities have been alerted, but the calls persist under different disguises, advising caution and non-engagement to avoid potential fraud or harassment.

9 yearsGot a bloke calling, says he’s from Microsoft and wants to flog me some sort of security setup to fix my computer issues. Totally a scam. I’ve told Action Fraud about it, but nevertheless, he still rings my mobile a couple of times every day.MicrosoftAction Fraud9 yearsProper annoying! They kept asking for Mrs Mustapha, but when I replied with Mustapha Crap, they just got all mixed up and hung up.Mustapha9 yearsGot a call at 8.04 this morning asking for Janice. Told them there’s no one here by that name and they just ended the call. They’ve called again since, so I’ve blocked the number now.Janice9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy at about 8.37 this morning. He was talking so quickly I couldn’t catch anything he said. I just ended the call straight away. Figured it was probably another spam call, like the usual ones I get.9 yearsSo get this, some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft rings me up, telling me to grab a pen and paper 'cause my computer is supposedly in danger of being hacked. I just told him I don’t have any to hand! I’m curious how he even got hold of my number, especially since my landline’s on the TPS list. It really worries me how easily older people might fall for these awful scammers.MicrosoftTelephone Preference Service9 yearsHad a cheeky caller who just shut me down after giving me a load of rubbish chat. Proper rude!9 yearsI've been receiving loads of calls from this number, usually someone with an Asian accent or sometimes a woman, just like many others have said. I reckon it's pretty risky, so I gave it a dangerous rating. The number is from Staines but I just ignore it now. When I do answer, I tell them they're scammers and they normally hang up right away. I wish there was a place where you could report these sorts of calls properly so they could be investigated and those scammers or hackers could end up getting prosecuted and sent to jail.9 yearsHad a bloke ring me up claiming he was from Microsoft. Told him I was tied up and he then went on about "blocking your computer." Definitely a scam, watch out!Microsoft9 yearsI have an old phone that they just cant hack right, so the call just cuts off by itself.9 yearsGot a call from this number at 9.50 this morning. As soon as I picked up, they just hung up. Definitely not a legit call, so I've blocked it now.9 yearsGot a call right at dawn, it woke me up but when I answered, nobody was on the line.9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from 'mircosoft' - I told them I'm not interested and they got really rude and pushy. Definitely a scam in my book.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from some scammer claiming my late wife’s computer was broken and needed fixing. Told the guy to jog on and he just hung up on me. Fingers crossed he doesn’t bother me again.9 yearsGot two calls from this number today but when I picked up, no one said anything. After reading the comments here, I’ll just block it next time. Definitely not the kind of people you want to chat with!9 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman, told her off and she just cut me off lol :)9 yearsGot a call supposedly from Microsoft, but it was obviously a scam. They tried to get me to let them into my Mac. Total dodgy move!Microsoft9 yearsTotally fake! Microsoft? Nah, just a big rip off and super rude too.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call at around 12.15pm today (9th Aug) from someone claiming to be Eddie from Microsoft, talking about my computer. I told him I don’t know any Eddie and that I don’t even own a computer. Then I just hung up.EddieMicrosoft9 yearsI’ve gone ahead and told Microsoft about them.Microsoft9 yearsI picked up at 16:29 but they just ended the call right away.9 yearsGot a call but they hung up straight away when I picked up - definitely spam!9 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft support - the voice sounded like it was from an Asian guy. Definitely a scammer.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call and they left this weird sound on my voicemail, kind of like a fax tone or something.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. They started asking me about a computer but then just went totally mad, swearing like crazy out of nowhere. After throwing some insults my way, they just ended the call. Honestly, what a muppet! Don’t take it seriously, just have a chuckle and put the phone down. Clearly, this bloke’s a bit off his rocker!9 yearsGot a call from this number at 9:15am. The person first asked if I owned a computer, then suddenly went on a foul-mouthed tirade before just hanging up on me. Proper shameful behaviour, honestly. They really need to find something better to do with their time - maybe even a proper job!9 yearslately ive gotten loads of calls like this, i just reply in welsh and it seems to do the trick lol9 yearsSomeone called me saying they were Eric Jones from Microsoft. He claimed my computer was hacked overnight. When I mentioned I have security measures that would prevent that, he just cut the call. I looked up his name later - his accent was kind of American but with a bit of an Asian tone, which seemed off.Eric JonesMicrosoft9 yearsGot a call just after 9 this morning but there was nothing said so i ended the call straight away.9 yearsGot a call today on 9/8 around 12.15pm from someone who said his name was Eddie from Microsoft, said he wanted to talk about my computer. Told him I don’t know any Eddie and I actually don’t even have a computer. I just hung up after that. Blocking these numbers is pointless really, coz they just keep coming back with different fake numbers.EddieMicrosoft9 yearsThey claimed to be from Microsoft saying my computer had an issue, but it’s a complete con. When I said my PC hasn’t even been turned on in like 8 months, they said it’s blocked or something. Total nonsense, don’t be fooled by this rubbish.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman saying there was an issue with my computer. When I told her I don’t even own one, she just ended the call. Seems like a scam, watch out people!9 yearsEvery morning the landline rings and rings.

I never answered, wise move cos it's obviously one of those scams. They mess with your phone as soon as you pick up, probably reading stuff like your last fifty transactions or whatever. Report this nonsense to the cops, it’s basically harassment and phone stalking. Folks, if you don’t know the number, don’t answer and definitely don’t let it ring to voicemail, that’s another sneaky trick to hack into your smartphone. Then just block the bloody thing!9 yearsGot a call from Staines-Upon-Thames at 7:55 in the morning. Picked up but there was only silence on the other end.
