02031988108 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02031988108 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam originating from an Indian call centre claiming to be Microsoft. Callers allege users’ computers are infected or hacked, seeking remote access or urging immediate action, often using threats and aggressive behaviour when challenged. Many report receiving calls at antisocial hours, including early mornings, with some encounters involving abusive and racist language. The scammers frequently hang up if questioned or when exposed, and calls often leave no messages. Despite numerous reports, the calls continue unabated, causing distress especially to elderly recipients. Users strongly advise against engaging or providing any information and recommend blocking the number and using call protection services. Authorities and telecom providers are criticised for inadequate action to prevent or trace these fraudulent activities.

Got a call from this bloke today, ended up playing a bit of a time-wasting game. Same old rubbish like others have mentioned, but we told him there was a fault with our phone line. He was super persistent, even after we left him chatting to himself for a good few minutes before hanging up. He called back at least ten times! Eventually, he claimed our PC was involved in some dodgy activity and tried hard to convince us to let him remote into our computer. When we called him out as a scammer, he started cussing and then just hung up.

Today I got a call from this very same number, using the same story and threats that other folks here have mentioned. I told the woman that to me, it sounded like she might actually be the scammer, then I just ended the call.

I've had two calls from these people. The first was a woman telling me my computer was sending info to Microsoft and there was some kind of fault. She told me to log in using some details she gave me. I asked what computer she meant, and when she said "your Windows PC", I told her I don't even own a computer and she just hung up. The second time, a guy with an Asian accent rang and as soon as I said "you lot again? Can you please remove me from your system?" he suddenly got proper racist. He called me awful names, spitting out the n-word non stop. This nonsense has got to stop - surely there's a way to catch and shut these people down? Anyone got ideas?

Today, 04/08/2017, I got a call from this number (02031988108). A guy with an Asian accent said his name was Kevin. He claimed my computer was hacked and wanted me to log in, which I refused to do. When I asked what the issue was, he started shouting abuse at me. Not gonna lie, I gave it right back to him! We went back and forth like that for about 5 minutes before he got annoyed and ended the call.

Got a call from some bloke called "Kevin" at 8:45 in the morning. I had a hunch it was a scam, but figured I’d mess about with him a bit. He claimed he could sort out my computer. I told him it didn’t need any fixing. Then he called me a fibber and questioned why I’d apparently sent emails and was now being dishonest. I just told him to jog on and hung up. I’m 70 years old, but thankfully I’m wise to these rude muppets!!

Just got a call from this number earlier. The bloke with an Asian accent said he was from 'Microsoft Corporation' and started talking about some problem with my computer. I told him I don’t have a 'Microsoft' device and ended the call straight away.

Got a call on 28.07.17 from an Asian man claiming to be from Microsoft. I asked him for more info so I could report him to the fraud team (been tricked before by a scammer pretending to be BT last year, so was being cautious). He kept saying it wasn’t a con and kept asking about my computer. I just ended the call.

Got a call from some random bloke claiming he was from Microsoft, asking to get into my computer. Immediate red flags! I reckon the firm running this scam should be outed properly. Makes you wonder how many folks have fallen for it and handed over their access. Proper worrying stuff.

Just got a call with nobody on the other end, and now this message pops up saying my login’s been suspended. It’s asking me to ring 02038836890 and have my account info ready. Honestly, I hope they’re not talking about my YouPorn account! Haha. Fingers crossed it’s just a mix-up!

Saw this number in my missed calls. We weren’t in when they rang. Have now added it to my BT Call Protect Blacklist. After reading what others said, seems like a smart move! I’d recommend everyone does the same. Let’s keep these scammers away!!

This bloke with an Indian accent called, claiming hackers were misusing my Microsoft PC for dodgy stuff. He wanted me to turn it on so he could guide me through fixing it. I asked him where he got my number from, and he said it was in some system, but nothing about it’s actually mine. So, I just hung up.

Got a call today at 8:02am. I asked if she knew what time it was and she said yes. Told her it was quite early! The usual nonsense about my computer sending error messages and they want to fix it for me. Asked if my computer was on, I said no, we’ve got an early appointment to get to. She said Christine Dawson will call me back at 2pm. Might have a bit of fun with her if I’m not too busy!

It was the classic Microsoft scam again. I played along on chat for a bit, then decided to blow a whistle into the phone to try and drown them out. Every time it’s the same lady on the other end. Be careful folks and whatever you do, don’t share your details with them!

Got a call from an Asian guy claiming to be with Microsoft. He even gave me the address and postcode for Microsoft UK. When I asked him his name to check if he really worked for them, he suddenly got all shouty and rude. I told him to basically buzz off, then he just hung up on me.

Got a ring from this number, some bloke claiming to be from the Windows team saying there was something wrong with my PC. I told him my son handles all the techy stuff if there's an issue. Then he demanded I log into my computer, and when I refused, he lost his temper and started yelling about my computer needing repairs. I couldn’t believe he’d shout at me like that, so I just told him off and ended the call.

I asked him which computer he was talking about and where he got my previous director's info and phone number from - he suddenly got all muddled.

Got a call from a guy who sounded Asian but was using a really fake American accent, saying he was from Microsoft and there was some sort of problem with our PC’s security. It creeped me out a bit because he knew my partner’s name and where we live. I double checked with Microsoft through their online chat though, and turns out it was just a scam. They told me to change all my passwords, especially for banking, and to get our internet provider to reset the network just to be safe.

Over the last few days, I've been getting loads of calls from Asian guys and girls saying they’re from Microsoft or Windows. Like others mentioned, they say there’s a problem with my computer and offer to fix it. A few of them actually got pretty pushy when I said no. I don’t get why nobody shuts this number down - it’s clearly a scam.

Same rubbish again, I’m an IT and SEO pro and these muppets picked the wrong person to mess with. Some woman called saying my IP was sending spam, so I asked her to tell me my IP. She got it totally wrong. Then she asked how I know my IP, I told her I work for Google and anyway, if I didn’t, I’d just Google ‘what’s my IP’. She then demanded to know what it was, like I’d just hand that over. Told her to get lost. I can’t stand these people - there’s loads of older and less tech savvy folks out there who fall for this nonsense. More should be done to stop these prats.
