0199845445 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 0199845445 👆 is reported as a persistent and distressing nuisance involving repeated unsolicited calls from individuals claiming to be technical support for Windows or Microsoft. The callers, often with Asian accents, falsely allege computer faults and attempt to gain remote access or personal information. They frequently use multiple phone numbers, which when dialled back, are unrecognised or fake. Recipients commonly advise not to engage, particularly vulnerable or less tech-savvy people, and recommend hanging up immediately. Some have successfully wasted the callers’ time by asking detailed questions without complying. The calls cause significant annoyance and stress, prompting strong cautions to avoid granting access or providing information and to utilise phone-blocking tools. This activity is widely acknowledged as a scam targeting computer users, with calls often becoming aggressive or threatening if challenged.

Got a call saying my computer had issues. It only went on for like half a minute before I ended the call. I've blocked the number now with BT Guardian.

Just like many others have said - a persistent bloke with an Asian accent ringing me up. He phoned me two times in half an hour.

A dear old pal of mine has been inundated with calls from this number, and it’s quite distressing for him. I've suggested that he refrain from saying anything until he knows who's on the line, like a family member or a mate. He can swiftly end any uninvited calls by simply pressing the button on the phone’s handset with his free hand.

Kept ringing me but when I tried to ring back, the number wouldn’t come up. Then got a man with an Asian accent who was really pushy, saying my computer had been sending error messages to Windows. He wanted me to do stuff on my PC while on the phone. Claimed he had a licence number but couldn’t share it or answer basic questions to prove he was legit. Got quite defensive when I mentioned phone preference services. Be careful, sounds like a proper scam and pretty dodgy.

If youre fed up with unwanted calls, get yourself a BT phone blocker. Honestly, its the best gadget Ive got so far.

Got a call from an Asian guy, really pushing that there was a problem with my computer. I told him straight up it sounded like a scam and asked him to take me off his list before hanging up. No sooner had i done that, he rang back annoyed that i'd cut him off. He kept going on, getting more pushy, and even said he’d cancel my Windows account. Told him if he phoned again I'd report him to the police. Hung up once more but he rang back two more times after that which i just ignored. Proper nuisance!

Received a call at half past ten this morning, but I chose not to pick up. I depend heavily on my voicemail to filter out these bothersome calls. My mates and relatives have a system in place to reach me without any fuss. These interruptions can be quite bothersome and really take a toll on one's peace of mind. I wouldn’t even bother engaging in a chat with them. Cheers for sharing your thoughts!

A woman with an Indian accent named Irenee has phoned me more than 10 times within just 10 minutes about my computer. I kept saying I don’t own one and even warned I’d report her to the police for harrassment, but she never stopped ringing. She was calling from these numbers: 0199845445, 01340074580 & 01340075284.

They kept saying I had a Microsoft Windows PC, but I actually use a MacBook Pro. It all sounded a bit sketchy to me. Then the caller handed the phone over to another person, who asked what the issue was. I told them what was happening and mentioned again that I don’t have a Windows computer. I also asked where they got my info from. I told them I’d report this to the local authorities (which is nobody, really) because of what they were trying. Then they just hung up.

Got another call from these scoundrels today. I told the guy I fix my window troubles with Mr Sheen, and he had the nerve to say he could install a better antivirus on my PC!!! Whoever he was, it’s obvious he’s never done any cleaning. Ended up chuckling and just hung up.

Got a call from "technical support" claiming to be from some server in London. The woman on the line sounded Asian and struggled a bit to remember her last name. She insisted my computer was sending errors to their server. I played along for a bit, asking her which server and my IP details. After a while, I called her out saying she was a scammer using a fake number and definitely not in London. She got strangely defensive and ended up hanging up.

I received a call earlier from a chap with an Asian accent who claimed that my computer was relaying error messages to Microsoft. He insisted he was there to assist me in resolving the issue. I quickly realised it was a scam and told him as much, which seemed to infuriate him. He was shouting, claiming I didn't have a clue what I was on about. Just to clarify, I actually build computers and troubleshoot software problems for a living, so I chose to hang up on him.

They keep ringing us every single hour from different numbers and as soon as we pick up, they just go silent or hang up. We run a hair salon and don’t have a receptionist, so we have to stop what we’re doing to answer. It’s so frustrating having to deal with calls where there’s nobody there. Honestly, I just wish there was a way to tell them off properly and get them to stop!

Got a ring today from an Asian guy claiming my PC was showing Microsoft error alerts. He asked for my computer’s licence number. I kept him chatting for about ten minutes before I lost interest and ended the call. Right after, I got another call from 01340075361, same bloke. He warned that if I didn’t play ball, Microsoft would block my access to the OS. Didn’t even know what operating system I had. He said he’d disconnect my PC from Microsoft. I just told him fine and hung up.

Got a call from a woman, sounded Indian, she said her name was Brenda!! She was going on about issues with my windows. I told her to wait a minute while I checked, stayed silent for a bit, then said I couldn’t find any problems, I could clearly see the garden behind and the street with cars outside! She just hung up on me. Feels good but honestly, I’m so fed up with these annoying calls.

I picked up the phone to find a woman rambling in quite fractured English. She mentioned something about a computer online, though her words were a bit of a jumble.

I answered, only to hear the exact same voice and message, so I hung up once more.

She asked why I was laughing and I told her I’m fed up with their rubbish calls about my computer being slow and why on earth I’d buy that rubbish.

Number 0199845445 is such a pain. I'm a nurse pulling night shifts tryna get some shut eye, but I can't just switch off my phone cuz of possible school emergencies. These calls always show as out of area, which is irritating, especially as my son’s abroad and his number shows up the same. Normally I tell them we don’t own a computer but my husband ended up arguing with them so they just kept ringing more. Calls won’t stop now xx
