Phone number ☎️ 01784279719 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from individuals claiming to represent Microsoft or Windows technical support, often with a strong Asian accent. Callers typically attempt to elicit personal or computer information, sometimes using threatening or rude behaviour when challenged.

Authorities and telecom providers are urged to take action, but until then, users are advised not to engage, share information, or return these calls.

9 yearsGot a call super early around 6:50 am from a bloke claiming he was with Windows. I didn’t mess about and told him to do one!9 yearsI received a call from the number 01784279719 on the 24th of August, 2017. An individual with an Asian accent was eager to discuss my "Windows" computer. Feeling a bit mischievous, I asked him which version he was referring to. As an old-school techie, I've got everything from Windows 3.1 all the way up to Windows 10-not that I mentioned that to him! He replied, "the one that uses the Windows operating system". It was clear he was only trying to dig for some personal details! So, I just told him he clearly didn’t know what he was on about and cut the call. He promptly rang me back, questioning why I had hung up! Seriously, can you believe that? Then he had the audacity to say that if I didn’t engage with him, my computer would be rendered unusable. My comeback? “Yeah, right, you’re chatting nonsense.” He quickly grew irate, became quite rude, and threw a fit every time I called his statements "nonsense" before hanging up yet again! Quite amusing, really. It struck me as odd that throughout our chat, he never once mentioned Microsoft!Microsoft9 yearsThey keep ringing but I never pick up.9 yearsA bloke with an Asian accent called saying he was from Microsoft. I decided to mess about a bit and when he asked me to note down a reference code, I just let him rattle off loads of digits and letters. Before I could tell him off properly (not very nicely), he ended the call. These calls are getting ridiculous, and the fact that the number shows up makes it worse. Someone really ought to sort this out.Microsoft9 yearsI got a call from 01784279719 on 24th August 2017. An Asian chap on the line claimed to discuss my “Windows” computer. Just for a laugh, I asked him which version he meant. You see, I'm a bit of a tech buff and have everything from Windows 3.1 to 10, but I kept that bit to myself! He responded with “the one using the Windows operating system.” Clearly trying to pry for details! So, I told him he hadn’t a clue what he was on about and ended the call. Lo and behold, he rang me back asking why I'd hung up! Can you believe it? Then he threatened that my computer would be disabled if I didn’t have a natter with him. I just laughed and replied, “Oh come on, that's nonsense!” He got quite cross, becoming rude and flustered as I dismissed everything he said as “nonsense.” In the end, I hung up on him again-what a laugh! Curiously, he never once mentioned Microsoft. How bizarre!Microsoft9 yearsBT took care of blocking this number on my behalf, I didn't even have to do it myself. Guess that shows even BT recognises the problem.BT9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, either a guy or a girl, talking about problems with my computer. Then they just suddenly dropped the call.Microsoft9 yearsWhat an utterly unacceptable manner of communication! I'm really at a loss as to why he decided to make that phone call. One can only wish that the authorities take action soon, as there are vulnerable elderly individuals who could easily be exploited in such situations.9 yearsHad some dodgy lot ringing me, so I blasted my referee’s whistle - got it near the phone just for these kind of thieving muppets. Worked like a charm, three sharp blasts and they legged it!9 yearsSome guy with an Asian accent said he was with Microsoft. I told him if he phoned me again, I’d report him. He just laughed and asked how many times I planned to do that. Then I just hung up. Totally dodgy scammer trying to take advantage of people. Best stay clear.MicrosoftAsia9 yearsClaiming to be from Microsoft, this one certainly smells fishy - undoubtedly a scam! The chap on the other end had a charming way of speaking, which makes me think he’s raking it in by duping Windows users out of their hard-earned cash. It’s all too easy to fall for it, considering nearly everyone with a Windows machine has encountered their fair share of issues. Honestly, I’m relieved to be using a Mac - there’s a certain peace of mind that comes with it!Microsoft9 yearsSpoke to an Asian guy who started swearing at me after I told him to "clear off, you cheater."9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy claiming he was from Microsoft. When we told him it was definitely a scam, he started threatening to ruin our lives. Then he called back 4 times, going on about some hell and all that. Proper scary!Microsoft9 yearsTypical rubbish about fixing computers. Better to ignore these con artists altogether.9 yearsBeware of this number; it's a complete scam and the person behind it is quite unpleasant. Avoid any conversation or callbacks at all costs!9 yearsOn the 22nd of August 2017, around 2:16 pm, I got a call from an Asian guy asking about my home computer. I told him I don't even have one, so I asked how he knew about it. Without a word, he just hung up on me. I wonder if any official dept keeps an eye on these sorts of calls once the number's found out? It can't be that difficult to track where they come from. These people are obviously trying to scam us.9 yearsThis number shows up as an international call for me. I picked up once, but they hung up immediately. Then they called me right back! They've been ringing non-stop for weeks now. Proper annoying!9 yearsCalled supposedly by Microsoft, the person had a really thick Asian accent. Was saying something about "issues with my Microsoft". I told them I don't own any computers and they just cut the call straight away.Microsoft9 yearsSome bloke with a weird accent kept saying he was from Microsoft but his voice was all messed up, sounded like he was having a laugh or trying to be all rude and nasty on the phone. Proper annoying!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from a dodgy number that seemed to come from a UK router, but it’s actually some scam from India trying to get into your computer. Wouldn't trust it.IndiaUK9 yearssome guy with a really thick asian accent claimed he was from microsoft, didnt even bother listening, just hung up straight away.Microsoft9 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from Microsoft, alleging that my computer had been compromised. When I inquired about which of my two computers they were referring to, the caller promptly disconnected. Does anyone know how to stop these persistent calls? The preference service has proven ineffective. Since this is a UK number, I trust the authorities might take action against such deceptive marketing practices.MicrosoftUK9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft earlier. When I told them I’d just log in myself and that Microsoft always emails if there’s an issue, they instantly hung up. They wanted to give me a number for their ‘tech support’ to help fix my computer troubles! Watch out for this, it’s definitely dodgy!Microsoft9 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number at an unreasonably early hour, but I tend to ignore them since they flash up as an international call.9 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from Microsoft, though his thick Asian accent made me doubt it. He claimed there was an issue with my computer, so I asked him which of my three machines he meant. We ended up going back and forth about Windows versions and Wannacry stuff. I lost interest pretty quick and just ended the call. He was clearly trying to get me to log into one of my supposed PCs - total scam.MicrosoftWannacry9 yearsGot a call from a lady with a strong Indian accent claiming there was a problem with my computer and they needed remote access. Total scam attempt to get into my system. Watch out!9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy about my computer but I cut him off and ended the call before he could say more.9 yearsFor three straight days now, I've been getting calls from a man and a woman, both with Indian accents. They say they're from Microsoft, but when I asked who exactly I was speaking to, they got really rude and started shouting. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it!Microsoft9 yearsI tried ringing the number again, but the recorded message informed me that it isn’t a valid number.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be David Miller, but he had a really thick Asian accent. He wanted to speak to a woman living here. When I asked who he was, he started swearing like crazy. I ended the call right away.David Miller9 yearsAbsolute con artists! A chap with an Asian accent rang me up, claiming to be from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with my computer. It really baffles me that they continue to rely on this age-old ruse; I assumed this sort of trick would have been worn out by now. Seriously, steer clear of this nonsense!Microsoft9 yearsI received a dodgy phone call from someone purporting to be from the 'Windows Tech Support Team'... whatever you do, don’t divulge any personal information!Windows Tech Support Team9 yearsGot a call from some guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, talking about my computer.
