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.

Authorities have been alerted, but the calls persist under different disguises, advising caution and non-engagement to avoid potential fraud or harassment.

Got 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.

Got 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.

So 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.

I'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.

Had 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!

Got 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!

Got 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!

Someone 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.

Got 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.

They 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.

Some jerk kept ringing me at 8:03 this morning, been bugging me for ages now. 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!
