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.

I’ve just had a run-in with a rather persistent phone number! They rang me up and followed a script identical to what others have reported. Honestly, it took me a mere fifteen seconds to realise it was a con. I feigned confusion about their blabber - which, let's face it, was entirely justified since their claims about my computer were utterly ludicrous. Then, the woman switched me over to her 'supervisor', who became quite flustered when I pointed out his nonsense. Well, I promptly ended the call. Remember, Microsoft NEVER reaches out to you; it’s always the other way around. So, if someone rings you up claiming to be from Microsoft, don’t hesitate to hang up!

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!

I was jolted from my slumber by a call from this number, and it turned out to be an Asian lady rambling on about some Windows Tech Centre in a rather broken English. I promptly let her know that she had disturbed my rest and requested that she refrain from calling me in the future. Clearly, it was just another one of those dodgy 'Windows' scams!

I received a similar call at my mum’s place. At 96 years old, she hasn’t had a computer linked there for over a decade and a half! I set the chap straight when he called. Then today, I had another one, this time from a lady with an accent. I quizzed her on which version of Windows was supposedly on my non-existent computer. Her speech quickened to such a pace that she soon became utterly tongue-tied and ended up hanging up on me. Oh, what a joy!

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.

As mentioned previously, I inquired about the location of his office, and he told me it was in Los Angeles, California. Curious about the time in L.A., I asked him, but he abruptly ended the call. Considering the time difference, it would have been only 7:33 in the morning! Those early birds, I suppose!

I’m also situated in Edinburgh, so it seems like they’re making the rounds, eh? She rang me again at 3 this afternoon, just like she did the day prior. So, I decided to blow a whistle down the line, and she promptly hung up. To my surprise, she dialled back just 30 seconds later, and I couldn’t resist giving her a little serenade. Her response? “Go f*** yourself, you numpty!” - and then she disconnected. Honestly, I thought my vocal talents weren't half bad! 😉

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 has been a right carry-on, with these so-called professionals ringing us ten times in the span of just one hour! An individual, presumably of Indian descent, insists she's from Microsoft, yet her grasp of English leans more towards the bewildering end of the spectrum. Despite this, she's relentless, redialling the moment you dare to hang up. She openly declared that she won't relent until you comply with her request, which involves logging into your computer to supposedly verify the authenticity of a computer licence she’s conjured up. The moment I decided to blast a whistle down the phone, miraculously, her calls diminished and eventually all but ceased - she was the one hanging up! It's incredible how determined and downright rude some people can be. My heart goes out to those who might fall for such tricks - it’s a complete shambles!

Received a call today from an Asian gentleman claiming to be from 'Windows'. His voice was eerily reminiscent of a recent caller who pretended to be from BT, claiming there were issues with my computer. I thought it was rather amusing, so I put him on speaker and let him hear my baby wailing in the background for a bit. Fingers crossed he takes the hint and thinks twice before calling back!

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.

I've received numerous calls from this particular number, and every time they just hang up! However, on one occasion, I actually had a chat with a man of Asian descent, during which I queried why he presumed I would be foolish enough to grant him access to my computer. He abruptly ended the call but not before ringing me back to hurl a stream of insults, calling me scum, a devil, and a filthy b***h! I've attempted to return the call but it seems impossible to get through. This number really ought to be shut down, as there are plenty of folks out there who might fall prey to their scams and aren't as savvy as I am!

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.

Received a call this afternoon around 2 o'clock from someone purporting to be from Microsoft. At first, I played along. However, things took a turn when they mentioned a peculiar one-off payment of £10 and insisted I log into my bank account, as they only accepted payments through that method-not credit cards or cheques. They even threatened that I’d be locked out of my computer if I didn’t comply! That was my cue to cut the call and shut everything down. Shortly thereafter, they rang me again, inquiring about the 'issues' I was facing. Quite the dodgy business, I must say!

This person was quite clearly not well-versed in tech matters and displayed a rather discourteous demeanour. I’d strongly advise against engaging in any dialogue with such callers.

I received a rather suspicious phone call today from someone claiming to be Ryan, supposedly representing Microsoft. He mentioned that there was an issue with my Windows software. When I pressed him for the name of the person he wanted to reach, he couldn’t provide that. He then urged me to power up my computer, which I had no intention of doing. When I asked for his contact information, he refused to share anything and wouldn’t remove my number from his list either. I mentioned that I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, but it seemed that didn’t phase him at all. Quite the dodgy encounter!

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.

Received a call at the crack of dawn, around 8 o'clock. The fella on the line mumbled something about "Microsoft, madam." I quickly figured he was up to no good and told him to jog on. To my surprise, he rang again, attempting his spiel yet again. I warned him that if he dared to hassle me one more time, I’d involve the coppers. I indeed contacted the police, but they informed me that they only step in once there's an actual crime, like losing money or something similar. What a farce!

I received a call from an Asian gentleman with a rather far-fetched name claiming to represent Windows. Honestly, it struck me as so ridiculous that I couldn’t help but chuckle and promptly disconnected the call. I've encountered my fair share of these dodgy calls in the past. Then, to my surprise, he rang again, but I let it go to voicemail. To my disbelief, he left a tirade of crude language and offensive remarks. I've reached out to the local authorities, who are investigating the matter. It’s simply unacceptable for anyone to endure such vitriol in the sanctity of their own home.

This bloke said his name was Harrison and claimed he was from Microsoft, saying my computer was sending error messages. I told him I wasn’t following what he was saying and just hung up. He called me again three times in around five minutes. I finally told him to take my number off their list or I’d report him to the Data Protection people. Seems like that made him back off for now.

I got a call from an Asian bloke named Chris claiming to be from Windows Global Support out in California. He seemed pretty occupied, called me a few times too. I humoured him for a bit, put him on hold a couple of times, and he actually called back both times saying sorry for getting cut off. 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.

This morning, I received a rather curious call from an Asian gentleman claiming to be from Microsoft (chuckles). He was seeking the individual who owns a Microsoft computer, but oddly enough, he didn’t bother to identify himself. I decided it wasn’t worth my time and simply terminated the call!

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.

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.

Total scam alert! Just had another call from a chap with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft technical support. It’s quite obvious that he’s not affiliated with Microsoft at all-just a fraudster attempting to infiltrate my computer. Stay vigilant, folks!

Received a call earlier today that lasted about twenty minutes. Initially, everything they said seemed credible enough. However, it dawned on me that their aim was to infiltrate my computer. I promptly hung up. One has to wonder why the authorities haven’t managed to track these individuals down by now!

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.

Received a rather akin call today-one must ponder, if we possess the number, why isn’t there a system in place to track it down and halt this nonsense? It’s rather disruptive to our daily grind and the hustle and bustle we all engage in.

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.

I just received yet another call from an Asian chap claiming to be from the Windows Technical Support team. Apparently, my laptop has been inundating them with error alerts, and he insisted I needed to delete some files to stop it from freezing up. He offered to assist me, of course, by having me download something. I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity; I informed him that I actually have an IT department of my own and promptly hung up!

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!

He kept going on about my laptop sending error alerts and that it’s gonna freeze soon unless I send it off for repairs straight away. He wouldn’t give me any more details or show any proof it’s legit. Watch out, defo a scam!

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!

I received a phone call from the same number, with someone claiming to be a technician from Microsoft, insisting that there'd been an issue reported. I responded politely, asking him to guide me through the necessary steps. He directed me to fire up Internet Explorer on my computer. I told him to hold on while I did so and placed the phone down on the table for a moment. Upon my return, I discovered they'd hung up!

I recently received a rather dubious call at about half three in the afternoon from a gentleman with an Asian accent claiming to represent the "Windows Technical Department". I inquired about his contact number for any potential follow-up and he provided me with what I can only describe as a nonsensical series-“125-73-76-78”. Naturally, I expressed my disbelief, which led him to transfer me to his supervisor. The supervisor then questioned me about my understanding of the nature of the call (by that point, I had already done some searching online and stumbled upon this site). I informed him that due to an alleged issue with my Windows system, he was likely to attempt to persuade me into downloading some software, enabling him to gain control over my computer and pilfer my personal information. At this point, he swiftly terminated the call!

I received a call from a woman who identified herself as being from Windows. She informed me that there was a serious issue with my computer and requested that I switch it on. I politely declined, and to my surprise, she responded with, "Fine, you can just go to hell then!" Quite the interaction, I must say!

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?
