0203152665 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 0203152665 👆 is reported as a persistent scam exploiting the guise of Microsoft technical support, typically involving callers with Asian accents who claim there are virus or error issues on victims' computers. They aim to gain remote access or personal information by instructing recipients to perform suspicious actions, such as installing software or viewing error logs. Numerous targets, including vulnerable individuals and workplaces, have resisted these calls, often facing rude or abusive behaviour when challenging the fraudsters. The calls are unsolicited, sometimes frequent and follow a similar script. Official Microsoft never initiates such contact, and it is strongly advised to hang up immediately, avoid sharing any personal details, and report numbers to relevant authorities. Users warn strongly against engaging or calling back.

I just got a dodgy call from a man with an African accent claiming my Microsoft stuff was infected with malware, then he started telling me to mess about with my PC. I quickly hung up. The number was 0203152665. Heard that a couple of my workmates had the same thing happen to them yesterday too.

This number seems really busy. I got a call from them and they used the same script others have mentioned. After about 15 seconds, I could tell it was dodgy. I told them I didn’t understand what they were saying, which was true because my computer definitely wasn’t doing what they claimed. Then a woman handed me over to a supervisor who got pretty annoyed when I told him he was talking nonsense. I just hung up straight away. Microsoft won’t ring you out of the blue - you have to ring them, so if anyone calls pretending to be from Microsoft, just end the call right away.

Got a call from an Asian lady early morning on this number. She was yabbering about Windows Tech Centre in broken English. I told her she’d just woken me up and to stop calling me for good. Total 'Windows' SCAM if you ask me!

This number woke me up with a call from an Asian lady. She was jabbering on about some Windows Tech Centre, speaking in broken English. I told her off, said she’d disturbed my sleep and to not ring me anymore. Pretty clear it’s one of those Windows scams!

My mum’s place got the same call too. She’s 96 and hasn’t had internet there for over 16 years. I told the bloke off straight away when he called. Then today, a woman with an Asian accent rang using the same spiel. I asked her which version of Windows was on my computer. She started talking quicker and quicker until she just hung up on me. Made my day, honestly.

Totally agree, this is one of those Windows scams. I told them I didn't own a PC, then the lady with a strong Asian accent and pretty bad English asked if maybe someone else in the house had one registered here. I just played dumb and dragged it out, but either she caught on or just gave up on me and hung up. Worked out great, they haven't bothered calling again. You'd think someone would be able to shut these scams down fast. Dunno why they let it keep going.

He told me his office was located in Los Angeles, California, when I asked. Then when I asked what time it was there, he just ended the call. Considering the time difference, it must have been around 7.33 in the morning over there! Early birds, huh!

Got a call from a bloke saying he was from Microsoft, telling me there was a virus on my PC. The guy had an Asian accent and struggled with his English quite a bit.

I’m also based in Edinburgh, so it seems they’re definitely going from one place to another! She rang me again at about 3pm today, just like yesterday. This time, I gave her a bit of a hard time on the phone and she just ended the call straight away. Then, no joke, she rang back about half a minute later, so I started belting out a tune. After that, she shouted something rude and slammed the phone down. Honestly, I didn’t think my singing was that terrible! ;-)

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent saying my Windows PC was full of viruses. I said I actually use a laptop with Ubuntu Linux, not Windows. He said he wasn’t aware of that system but kept on going about my imaginary Windows issues. Then I told him I was looking at his computer and it needed fixing, and maybe I should fly over to India to sort it out for him. He got really mad and just hung up. Honestly, made my day!

Today, I've been bombarded with about ten calls in just one hour from what I suspect is a scammer - a lady with an accent that sounds kind of Indian, claiming to be from Microsoft. Her English is pretty hard to understand and she’s super persistent. The moment you hang up, she rings straight back and even admits she won’t stop bothering you until you do what she says. She wants you to log onto your computer so she can ‘check’ the licence she keeps mentioning. Eventually, I got so fed up I started blowing a whistle loudly into the phone, and surprisingly, she was the one who ended up hanging up. Never had a caller so pushy and rude before, honestly it’s scary to think some older or less tech-savvy people might actually fall for this. Totally disgraceful behaviour!

Got another call from a bloke with an asian accent, going on about some MS thing and a computer virus. Didn’t take long to realise it was a scam, so I just hung up when I got fed up of his rubbish. Apparently he wanted me to type in “eventvwr” to check some error stuff or something.

Got a dodgy call claiming to be from Microsoft Windows, saying my PC was infected with a virus. I found it kinda funny since I use a Mac, but if I’d done what they told me, it probably would have ended up costing me a fortune.

This number kept ringing me a bunch of times, and I just hung up every single call. Then one time, I actually picked up and spoke with an Asian guy. I asked him how he thought I’d be daft enough to let him mess around with my computer. Right after that, he dropped the call but rang straight back, calling me all sorts of names - like scum and even worse insults! I tried ringing the number back but it just won’t go through. Honestly, this number should be blocked for good, ’cause not everyone is as sharp as me and they could end up getting scammed for sure.

16/10/21 - My phone showed the caller as ‘international’ so I figured it’d be dodgy, but I was curious who they were pretending to be today, so I picked up. An Asian-sounding woman with loads of background noise claimed she was from Microsoft Windows, so I quickly said, “No thanks, not interested, please leave me alone!” and hung up straight away. Got a few similar ‘international’ calls lately, clearly trying new tricks as I’ve deleted plenty of phishing emails before.

Got a call earlier around 2pm supposedly from Microsoft. Played along for a bit, then they said I had to pay a one-time charge of £10 and had to log into my bank account because they don’t accept cards or cheques. They warned me I’d be locked out of my PC if I didn’t do it. Didn’t hang about, just turned my computer off straight away. Moments later, they rang back asking why I disconnected.

A bloke with an Asian accent called claiming he was from Windows, said my PC had sent out some error report. I told him I hadn’t even used my computer for a whole week, but he went on about how like half the computers in my “area” were infected with some virus - didn’t say where exactly though! He insisted I had to be sat at my PC right this second, but I said no way. Then he said if I didn’t comply I’d get blacklisted and my computer blocked. I just told him to stop talking rubbish and ended the call. Definitely a scam.

I got a call bright and early at 8 in the morning from someone whose name I couldn’t catch properly. All I heard was him repeatedly saying "Microsoft ma’am." I quickly told him to stop messing about and that he was just trying to scam me, then gave him some choice words and hung up. Not long after, he rang me again and tried the same spiel. I warned him that if he rang once more, I’d get the police involved. I rang them eventually, but they said there’s nothing they can do unless there’s an actual crime, like money being lost or something.

On the third ring, I asked him to answer some security questions, he agreed. But turns out he didn’t know his mum’s maiden name or what a postcode is, so I told him he’d failed the security check and I couldn’t keep the call going. He never called me again after that.

I got a call earlier today from a bloke claiming to be from Microsoft (yeah, right), asking for the owner of a “Microsoft computer”. Didn’t say his name or anything. Just ended the call because it felt like a load of rubbish!

Got a call from an Asian gentleman claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer had issues. I instantly knew it was a scam. The bloke was really pushy and quite rude. I finally said I worked in fraud investigations and that his call had been tracked, warning him a visit might be coming. That’s when he told me to buzz off and hung up. How are these scammers still allowed to operate? It’s maddening.

They tried ringing me but I ignored it, I generally don't pick up anymore. Didn't leave any voicemail either. I've signed up with TPS, so what's the use?

Got a call from some bloke called 'Chris' (yeah right) claiming to be from the Windows tech team. Didn’t even let him get a word out, just told him to stop winding me up and to shove off! Do these scammers honestly reckon we’re daft? Properly fed up with these calls, especially since I'm on the TPS list.

Got a call earlier today and ended up chatting for about 20 minutes. Everything they told me seemed pretty believable. Then it hit me - they were trying to get into my computer. I just hung up straight away. Can’t understand why the police haven’t managed to track these people down yet?

Got a call from this number earlier. The caller sounded really quiet, with what seemed like an eastern accent (maybe Chinese?). They kept saying hello like 4 times then just hung up. I’ve blocked the number now.

Had a call from an 0203 number today, some Asian woman on the line on my work mobile. Two of my mates at work got the same on Friday. We all knew it was dodgy so had a laugh messing with them a bit. Looks like loads of folks at our company are getting this call as well.

Some bloke with an Asian accent called claiming to be from the Windows tech team. He said my PC was sending a load of error alerts and I needed to delete stuff to stop it from crashing. Offered to fix it by downloading something. I just chuckled, told him I’ve got my own IT guys, and hung up straight away!

Got a call from this number this morning too. Like others said, it was some bloke with really poor English and his voice was really faint. He kept telling me my computer was messed up or something. I thought about messing with him to waste his time but he kept calling me ‘Sir’ and that got on my nerves so I ended up swearing at him and hanging up lol. Seriously hope no one gets tricked by this scam. I honestly don’t understand how people can do crap like this to others. :(

Got a call on Saturday 24th September 16 at about 3.25pm from this number, some woman said she was calling about my computer. I told her straight up I knew it was a scam and hung up. Honestly, how do these lot manage to live with themselves? They'd do well spending some serious time locked up, maybe then they’d stop pestering people like this.

Just got a call from these lot. Left it on for like ten minutes, playing along. Then they put me through to some “level 5 engineer”. I told him, look, I gotta stop you, this computer isn’t mine. He asked whose it was, and I said honestly, no clue, I just snuck in the back and nicked it when you rang. He lost it, swearing at me and told me to hang up, then the line went dead. Guess I ended up stealing the computer before him anyway lol. Haha!

Got a call around 3.30pm from an Asian guy claiming to be from the “windows technical dept”. I asked for his number so I could call back and he gave me some nonsense like “125-73-76-78”. I told him that sounded fake, then he put his boss on. The supervisor asked what I thought the call was about, by that time I’d already looked up this website. I told him that since there’s apparently a problem with my windows, he’d soon be trying to get me to download software so he could hack my PC and pinch private info. He ended the call straight away!

This number rang me claiming to be from Microsoft support, saying there was some kind of error detected on my computer. I asked what I needed to do next, and he told me to open Internet Explorer on my PC. I said alright, hang on a moment, and put the phone down on the desk. After a while, I picked it up again but the call had been disconnected.

Got a call around half past three in the afternoon from a bloke claiming to be from the "Windows Tech Support". When I asked for his number to ring him back, he gave me some mad digits like "125-73-76-78". I told him it sounded dodgy, then he handed me over to his supervisor. This guy asked what I thought the call was about, by which time I’d already looked this up and found this site. So I bluntly told him I knew he’d want me to install some software so he could nick all my personal stuff. Next thing, he just cut off the call!

they rang me today but no one was home so they just cut off instead of leaving a voicemail. the number was 0203 152 665. ive heard 0203 numbers are sometimes used by scammers so i’m not bothering to call back. from what ive read earlier this number is linked to a scam pretending to be from computer fraud dept, so i’m marking it here as dodgy.

Just to confirm - this number, 0203152665, is linked to a scam. Today, someone claimed my computer was infected with malware and insisted I turn it on while speaking to them. I kept them chatting for ages but never agreed to log in. I reckon I added a good 8 minutes to their call before they finally gave up. Almost straight away, another person called and repeated the same demand to log in. After refusing for a bit, they warned me my computer would be completely useless if I didn’t comply! Sadly, I have no idea who they really are. Does anyone else know?
