01883723008 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01883723008 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from a call centre claiming to be from Windows Technical Support. Callers warn of supposed computer viruses or errors, attempting to gain remote access to victims’ devices. Many users have confirmed no legitimate connection to Microsoft or Windows exists. The calls are often silent, abusive, or abruptly ended when questioned. Recipients are urged to avoid engaging, not to provide any personal or computer access details, and to block the number. This scam targets unsuspecting or vulnerable individuals and is associated with repeated unwanted calls from a number apparently linked to the Caterham area but likely routed through overseas call centres. It is advised to report incidents to appropriate authorities and remain vigilant against such fraudulent tactics.

Some bloke called from Windows tech saying I had a virus. I told 'em I've got a pretty advanced firewall but they claimed this virus was clever enough to get past it. I said I'd have to report it to my Sergeant and alert the higher-ups since security's been compromised. They just hung up after that.

I phoned the number back and got a message saying it was wrong - just another scammer. Had about 26 calls like this one already this week. Honestly, I wish the mobile providers would quit selling our info. EE, O2, and Vodafone are known for handing over customer details for a measly £50 or so. Then they’ve got your name, phone, and address. It’s really, really risky.

This number called me a few times today and I finally picked up on the fourth ring. Just like others have said, they said they were from Windows tech support because of some error on my computer. When I asked them what error message they saw and when, they just put the phone down. Definitely seems like a scam to me.

Sounded like a scam when I got a call earlier today from someone saying they were from the Windows company asking about my computer. I asked what computer as I don’t own one. They said, no, your laptop. I repeated, I don’t have one and Windows wouldn’t be calling me asking this kind of stuff or for my info. Then they just hung up on me. Be cautious everyone!

Called by some computer support firm, looks like a total scam. They claimed there’s been reports from my computer but when i asked what OS i was using, they wrongly said apple. This kind of thing could be really risky for people who aren’t tech savvy using that software.

Just like countless others, I’ve fallen victim to what’s clearly a scam. It’s really disheartening! I can only hope that these dodgy operators get their comeuppance before long. I’m even considering filming their antics to have some evidence. Wouldn’t that be something? And by the way, I reckon the number must be nearby, judging by the circumstances!

Some bloke from Asia has been phoning me loads (around 20 times) over the last few weeks. I've always picked up but there's been no one on the other end. Tried ringing back but couldn’t get through.

They said they were calling from Caterham, England. I don’t know anyone there so I just ignored the call. I hardly ever pick up if I don’t recognise the number. If it’s important they’ll leave a voicemail or somthing. It’s good to see others sharing their experiences - helps loads of people out. I’ve blocked the number and do the same with any unknown ones, never ring back cos sometimes you might end up paying silly premium call fees.

They’ve called me a couple of times today, and I can tell straight away it’s a scam once they start talking. I enjoy messing with them a bit and dragging it out on the phone (they’re the ones footing the bill, really). Just picked up and said “Hello, Microsoft Fraud team here” and they cut me off before I even finished ‘Fraud’. Been getting loads of these calls lately. Definitely tell your mates about it.

Watch out for these fraudsters! They might claim that your device is infected with a virus and attempt to get you to grant them access to your computer. Once they've wiggled their way in, they could either fleece you for a hefty sum without lifting a finger or alter your login details, demanding payment just so you can regain access. There's a wealth of videos on YouTube detailing their tricks, and some of them are downright hilarious, especially when their plans blow up in their faces and they find themselves locked out of their own systems. Stay sharp, folks!

I’m a bit savvy to these sorts of calls, so there’s no way they’re scamming me. The first time they rang, I was at work so I told them I couldn’t access my computer then. The second time, I told them I couldn’t reach it ‘cos there was a bunch of pineapples and tractors blocking it. Would they seriously ring me again at 2am? Unbelievable.

It all seemed rather convincing at first, yet I couldn’t shake off my doubts. This chap was insisting that my Windows machine had picked up a virus - but I promptly informed him that I actually use a Mac. As soon as I mentioned it, he abruptly hung up. Quite the strange encounter!

Someone rang me sayin they were from 'Windows Support' and claimed my computer had a virus sending spam emails. They asked me to press the Windows key + 'R', but I didn’t go along with it. I just ended the call. Pretty sure they wanted to get remote access to my computer. Most likely a scammer or hacker.

Got a call saying there was an issue with my Windows PC, but I told them I don’t even own a computer and they just hung up.

Just 5 minutes back, a bloke rang me saying there’s a problem with my computer. I told him I wasn’t in, and he said he’d ring again about 5 o’clock this evening. I looked up the number on Google, and I reckon it’s the exact same one I’ve seen before. I’m proper suspicious now.

This happened to me too. A woman called and it sounded like it was from some call centre, so it seems like they’re working together on this. She started talking about my windows and then wanted me to open my laptop, but I told her I don’t even have one and she just hung up right away. Really dodgy trying to get access to your computer like that. Definately block the number if it rings you.

So scary! This is the second time I've answered and got these lot. After I said no way am I giving access to my laptop, a woman rang back and shouted, “Can I speak to the fookin’ b***h who just hung up on me!” Seriously? Then today a bloke asked if I wanted to open my laptop for him to nick my info and I told him to f#ck off. He threatened me back with “I’ll f#ck you up when I find you!” Honestly, block these scammers straight away and don’t even bother chatting with them. I checked the number and it’s somewhere in China, so not too bothered about the threats.

I received a rather suspicious call, with the caller claiming that my Mac was infected with a virus. Intrigued and quite sceptical, I booted up my computer to look up the number they had rung from. It all felt rather dodgy, to be honest. When I probed the caller further about the issue, they bizarrely mentioned a "Windows computer". I quickly had to clarify that I actually own a Mac. To my amazement, her reply was to scold me for wasting her time! It’s evidently a scam, folks; best to avoid sharing any personal information with them!

This bloke outta nowhere claimed he worked for Microsoft. Told me my PC was riddled with problems but they’d sort it out for free. I played along for a bit just to mess with him and figure out his angle. Then he asked me to go on some dodgy site (msc21.c.[###]), and that’s when I stopped him and blocked the number straight away. If I’d gone along with it, he could’ve taken over my computer, got into my stuff, or even planted malware. Proper scam, avoid it!
