Phone number ☎️ 01988250011 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from callers claiming to be from Microsoft or a Windows Technical Department, often featuring strong South Asian accents. Callers allege computer problems, errors, or malware infections to trick recipients into granting remote access or providing personal information. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, the calls frequently continue, with some callers becoming rude or abusive when challenged. Typically, no legitimate organisation would cold-call in this manner, and shutting down communication, blocking the number, and never sharing personal details is strongly advised. Authorities such as Action Fraud may be contacted, but reporting effectiveness can vary. Overall, these calls are recognised as fraudulent attempts to deceive vulnerable individuals, and vigilance is essential.

10 yearsThis weekend I got called three times. The latest was by a woman with a thick Asian accent, really hard to catch what she was saying. She said she was from Microsoft. I told her straight up I wasn't falling for any scams and she better stop calling me, then I ended the call.Microsoft10 yearsI've had the misfortune of receiving a call from the same strongly accented Asian lady purporting to be from Microsoft, and that’s now the third time this weekend! It's clearly the same dodgy attempt at scamming me like the previous calls I've had. How frustrating!Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from a man with a heavy Asian accent, said he was from Microsoft. The number showed up as somewhere near Wigtown. I was pretty sure it was a scam, told them I wasn’t fooled, and ended the call straight away.WigtownMicrosoft10 yearsI received a call from this number, which supposedly originates from Wigtown. The caller had a pronounced Asian accent and claimed to be affiliated with Microsoft. However, I quickly realised this is a well-known scam that's been doing the rounds. Stay vigilant, folks!WigtownMicrosoft10 yearsI received a rather peculiar call today from someone claiming to be from "Windows," stating that my computer was overloaded with downloads. The chap had an Indian accent. I requested that he send me an email instead and promptly ended the conversation.10 yearsThis guy called Patrick, sounded like he had an Asian accent and claimed to be from the Windows Support team. When I asked for his address, he said "21 Station Road, Cambridge", which I repeated back to him just to be sure. I then told him I was going to report them to the TPS before hanging up straight away.PatrickWindows Technical DepartmentStation RoadCambridgeTPS10 yearsFraudulent call alert: I received one from a so-called Windows help desk claiming my PC was sending error messages to them. Whatever you do, do NOT engage with these con artists! This is completely off the mark regarding how computers operate!10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft and telling me my PC had loads of issues. Classic scam really. Best thing is to just end the call straight away.Microsoft10 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft support. She wanted me to turn on my PC so she could guide me to a website. But then as soon as I mentioned I use an Apple computer, she just ended the call. Bit odd if you ask me.MicrosoftApple10 yearsGot 11 calls over the last 3 days, none of them bothered to leave a message. Lucky for me I have BT call blocker on, saved me from so much hassle!10 yearsI seem to get calls from this number nearly every single day! I've informed them that I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, but they just carry on regardless. They just called me again, and when I explained to the woman on the other end that my computer isn’t causing any issues, I explicitly asked her to stop calling me. It's rather frustrating!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsI received a rather dubious call today from a gentleman with an Asian accent who introduced himself as Drew. He claimed to be from the Windows Technical Department and insisted that my computer was experiencing numerous errors. He urged me to power on my device so he could gain remote access and ‘fix’ the issues. Naturally, I informed him that my husband is a computer engineer, and there was absolutely nothing amiss with my machine. In response, he brazenly stated that my husband didn’t know everything and insisted I comply with his requests. I quickly realised this was nothing short of a scam, and when I confronted him about it, he abruptly ended the call! What a shocker! I’m registered with the telephone preference service, yet I still find myself inundated with these pestering calls. What steps can we take to put a stop to this nonsense?DrewWindows Technical Department10 yearsJust got a call from some bloke claiming to be from Windows support, trying to pull off a scam. Proper dodgy stuff!10 yearsGot a silent call today, just the one though, which is better than when those TV shopping channels kept ringing me non-stop after I foolishly made a purchase from them!10 yearsThis number, 01988 250011, keeps ringing non-stop. I can't help but wonder who benefits from the cash they collect through this dodgy scheme. Most likely, it’s funding some shady overseas group with questionable motives, right?10 yearsEvery time I pick up, they just click off right away. Honestly, these calls that end as soon as I say hello are driving me mad!10 yearsJust like many here, I think it’s definitely a scam. Told them to buzz off and ended the call straight away.10 yearsGot a call from a man with an Asian accent saying there was something wrong with my wife’s Microsoft software. She told him she wasn’t having any issues and wasn’t interested in sorting out computer problems. Still, he kept pushing and when we kept saying no, he started yelling and being really rude. This guy and his number really deserve some kind of penalty for phishing like this.Microsoft10 yearsBlimey, received a call meant for my elderly mum, who's 80. The bloke on the other end claimed he was from "Windows" and "Microsoft." I couldn't help but chuckle at his audacity and told him we were on the Telephone Preference Register. He didn't stick around for a chat after that; he hung up right away!BlimeyMicrosoft10 yearsWeird call about my laptop - told them I haven’t been online all week and they just dropped the call on me.

Definitely seemed dodgy.Microsoft10 yearsWatch out for this shady bloke from Leicester, seen around Spinney Hills and Highfields areas.
