01988250011 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

This 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.

This weekend alone I’ve had three calls, and just now a woman with a thick Asian accent rang saying she was from Microsoft - obviously the same old scam trying its luck again.

Got 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.

The call came from a number in Wigtown, but the person on the other end spoke with a heavy Asian accent. They said they were with Microsoft, which I know is just one of those typical scams going around.

So, I got this call today from someone claiming to be from Windows, saying my computer had too many downloads or something. It was a guy with an Indian accent. I just told him to send me an email instead and then I ended the call.

This 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.

Fraudulent 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!

I 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.

I get calls from this number almost every single day. I’ve mentioned loads of times that I’m on the telephone preference service, but they just keep ignoring it. They phoned once more today and I spoke to a woman, told her my computer isn’t broken and asked them to stop calling me again.

Today I got a call from a man with an Asian accent who called himself Drew. He claimed to be from the Windows Tech Support and said my computer was showing loads of errors. He asked me to switch on my PC so he could get remote access and 'fix' it. I told him my partner is a computer engineer and there’s nothing wrong with it. Then he said my husband didn’t know everything and I should listen to him instead. I told him straight away that it was a scam and he just hung up on me! What a shocker. I’ve registered with the telephone preference service but these annoying calls keep coming through. Does anyone know how to actually stop them?

This 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?

Got 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.

Got a call like that to my mum who's 80. The guy claimed he was from "Microsoft" or "Windows" or something. I found it funny and told him we’re on the TPS list, then he dropped the call straight away.

Got a call twice in one day from an Asian bloke on 01988250011. He was going on about my computer having all sorts of junk files downloaded recently. I told him he should be ashamed trying to scam folks like that and made it clear he wasn't welcome. Told him to jog on.

Watch out for this shady bloke from Leicester, seen around Spinney Hills and Highfields areas. He’s a proper conman and won’t hesitate to swipe your identity for dodgy dealings. Don’t trust him, he’s a lying cheat!
