Reports on phone number 02031988112
10 yearsGot a call from some tosser asking for a relative, but totally botched the name. When I said they had the wrong person, the bloke snapped, “Who the bloody hell are you?” and just slammed the phone down!10 yearsI was jolted awake before 8am on Saturday by this number ringing incessantly. I answered, but there was nothing on the other end. Quite infuriating, if I’m honest!10 yearsI'm so fed up with these calls. Clearly, whoever’s ringing hasn’t got much sense. If I don’t pick up after the third ring, it’s a safe bet I’m not gonna answer the next one. BLOCKED.11 yearsGot a call from this number at 8:40 am today. The person sounded like they were from overseas. When we asked how they got our contact, they said it was from their database. We told them we’re registered with TPS. Ended up blocking the number.TPS11 yearsGot a call from this number early at 7:50 am! Was proper rude when I said I don't do cold calls!11 yearsThis morning at 8:02 my 90 year old dad got a call from a man with an accent, asking to urgently talk to my mum who died 4 years ago. It's so upsetting that these people are allowed to carry on with this kind of thing. Someone really ought to put a stop to it.11 yearsGot a call like this just now - bloke with an accent from what sounded like a crowded call centre, asking if I’d take a survey. Oddly, it was the day right after I’d messaged BT online (through the Philippines, I think?), so I reckon some dodgy company is sharing our details about behind the scenes!BTPhilippines11 yearsThis number has called me three times over the last couple of days, twice just today - once early this morning when I wasn’t home, and again around 1pm. I haven’t answered since I don’t know who it is. I only started getting these calls after I made a phone call to Nat West’s helpline, which sounded like it was based overseas, maybe somewhere in Asia. Could just be a coincidence, or maybe not...Nat West11 yearsI aint got a clue who this caller is cos my bt 8500 phone just blocks all unknown numbers. This number rings me from as early as 8.15 in the morning to as late as 9.30 at night.11 yearsGave me a bell at a quarter to eight this morning.11 yearsThey called at like 8:40 in the morning, I answered but no one spoke, so I hung up straight away. Just another spam call. I'm on the TPS list, so hopefully the new BT system will start blocking these numbers soon?Telephone Preference Service11 yearsImpolite and incessant in their attempts.11 yearsSimilar to what someone else mentioned, I got called three times within 18 hours after I reported a problem with my phone line. The last person, who sounded Asian, was quite impolite and just hung up as soon as I told them I don’t share personal info on the phone. I’m registered with the TPS but it doesn’t seem to help at all.TPS11 yearsGot a call from this number at 8:15 in the morning! Didn't know who it was so I didn’t answer. I just don’t get why anyone with caller ID would still answer unknown calls, it kinda defeats the whole point of having it doesn’t it?11 yearsIsn’t it a bit too coincidental that I received a flurry of scam calls on my landline right after I reported an issue to British Telecom? It’s almost as if there’s some sort of connection between BT's overseas call centres and these dodgy callers! I had shared my mobile number as a backup with a BT online support agent while we sorted out my line problem, and wouldn’t you know it, I was inundated with scam calls about PPI in mere moments! Prior to that, my mobile had been blissfully untouched by such nonsense. Quite the remarkable turn of events, wouldn’t you say?British TelecomBT11 yearsIts so strange how as soon as i reported a problem with my landline to BT, the scam calls started pouring in! Feels like some folks in BT's overseas call centres and online chat might be in cahoots with these scammers. I gave my mobile number to the BT online chat as a backup since the landline was down, and within mins the scammy PPI calls began. Never had scam calls on my mobile before that.British TelecomBT11 yearsIt's rather amusing, isn't it? Just after reporting a line issue to British Telecom, my home phone starts ringing off the hook with dodgy scam calls! Makes you wonder if some of their foreign call centre staff might just be moonlighting as scammers. I shared my mobile number with the BT online chat representative because of the fault, and, lo and behold, mere minutes later, I'm inundated with scam calls about PPI! It's a bit peculiar, really, as I haven’t had any of these mobile scams prior to this incident.British TelecomBT11 yearsIsn't it peculiar how, right after I reported a fault with my landline to British Telecom, I was bombarded with scam calls? It almost feels like there’s a connection between the two. I can't help but wonder if some of the staff in those overseas call centres, or even those manning BT's online chat, might be in cahoots with these scammers. I provided my mobile number to the BT chat representative as a backup, given the ongoing line issues, and lo and behold, I started getting dodgy PPI calls just moments after! Prior to this, I had never experienced any scam calls on my mobile. What a coincidence, eh?British TelecomBT11 yearsUnbelievable! It’s quite the coincidence that I got bombarded with scam phone calls on my landline right after I reported a line issue to British Telecom! It seems a bit suspect that some employees in BT’s overseas call centres and their online chat teams might be in cahoots with these fraudsters. The moment I provided my mobile number as a backup to the chap on BT’s chat support, the phone started ringing off the hook with dodgy PPI calls - and I had never received anything like that on my mobile prior to this! Quite the strange turn of events, wouldn’t you say?British TelecomBT11 yearsMy phone buzzed just before lunch today, around 11am. When I picked up, some guy with an Asian accent asked if I was Mrs ######. I said yes, and he claimed he was doing a consumer survey, then wanted me to give my full name and address plus postcode. I asked why he needed all that info, and suddenly he just called me "such a loser." I told him to "get lost" and quickly ended the call. I've since blocked the number.11 yearsThis number has been calling me three times a day, and to be honest, it's become rather tedious. I've taken the liberty of blocking it now...11 yearsReceived a call bright and early at 8:15 in the morning, but it's always the same old story-just the answering machine picking up. No messages left behind, and they seem to ring me multiple times a week. Quite annoying, really!11 yearsGot a call from some Asian bloke at 8 in the morning today. I pretty much barked at him, "Who the hell do you think you are ringing me up so early?" and told him to jog on. This is the third time this week from this same number, before it was just dead silence. I'm already signed up with TPS - shouldn’t the police or something do something about this?Telephone Preference Service11 yearsGot called again today, second time now. First time I just let it ring off. It’s from some noisy call centre, sounds way too hectic and annoying, so not someone I’m interested in chatting with. Ended up cutting the call straight away without a word.11 yearsThis morning, I received five back-to-back calls from this number, and each time I picked up, there was complete silence on the other end. It's rather vexing! Does anyone know how I can block or report these nuisance calls?11 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent, sounded like he was in some hectic call centre. Said he was with "Consumer Opinion Poll". He wanted me to verify my address, and seemed to know my house number and postcode already. I often get calls from 0203 numbers and they've all turned out to be scams.11 yearsGot a call from some Indian woman claiming to be from "Microsoft security" saying there was an issue with my computer - I quickly gave her my card details and then they just cut me off!Microsoft Security11 yearsReceived a dodgy call earlier. I hung on for a bit, but eventually decided to end the call.11 yearsGot a call from an Indian woman claiming to be with Windows Security Service, trying to get me to log into a site to show a problem with my Windows laptop. The funny bit is, I use a MacBook Air and don’t own any Windows PC at all! Had a bit of fun messing with her, told her to wait 10 minutes, then came back and of course, she’d vanished.MacBook Air11 years27/01/16 Pretty much the same as the person on 26/01/16 said, whats the point in calling if you dont even plan to answear!!11 yearsI picked up the phone but no one said a thing, just dead silence. I'm on the TPS list, so how on earth are they still finding my number?Telephone Preference Service11 yearsI keep getting calls even tho I’m on the TPS and my number is ex-directory. Normally I just pick up and put the phone down, as soon as they hang up, they can’t call anyone else until I actually end the call. This number 02031988112 keeps bothering me.TPS11 yearsNo clue who was ringing from 02031988112. Tried calling back but no number shows up. Proper annoying tosser. They called at 8.15 in the morning and again at 4 in the afternoon. At 8.15 I’m busy sorting my dad out to go downstairs, and at 4 I’m just about having my tea. Honestly, no time’s good for anyone trying to scam me, especially from abroad - some bloke from India asking if I’m me but won’t say who he is or what company he’s from, and keeps saying he wants to give me something. Totally dodgy.11 yearsPicked up the phone but all I got was silence. Tried ringing them back and ended up with "this service cannot be connected" message - laughable! Definitely a scam. Been getting a few quiet calls from this number even though I’m on the TPS list :(Telephone Preference Service11 yearsI received a call from some chaps about Windows the other day. I casually mentioned that my son-in-law is employed at a government agency that handles all things computer-related, and suddenly, the line went silent! How peculiar!11 yearsMy phone was going off all afternoon and i never picked up, no voicemail msg either. Then out of nowhere i started gettin calls from abroad but still no voicemail left.11 yearsI received a rather odd call from an Indian gentleman who immediately asked if I lived at SA1 6UQ. My wife, rather taken aback, confirmed that indeed it was our address. However, then he had the audacity to inquire about the number of residents in our home! My wife, not one to entertain nosy questions, fiercely told him to mind his manners before hanging up the phone rather abruptly. What a ridiculous situation!SA1 6UQ11 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent, asking for my father-in-law who passed away like 7 years ago. Then he started asking me questions, seemed like some kind of survey. And this was all happening before 8 in the morning!11 yearsI've been inundated with calls from someone looking for a Mr Sandman. It's become a regular nuisance, as they’ve been pestering me every couple of days for the past two years, using various numbers. They ring my office line, my mobile, and even my home phone!Sandman11 yearsthis number has rung me a couple times already this morning, I just ignore any calls now coz ive been getting loads of these annoying calls lately.11 yearsReceived a call earlier today, 19th January 2016. We didn't pick up the phone, and they didn't bother to leave a voicemail. Did a quick search online and stumbled upon this discussion...11 yearsA bloke with an Asian accent called asking if I owned the number. I acted a bit dim and said no. Then he asked if they were in, and I said no again. I asked what it was about, and he wondered if it was a business line. I said no once more and just left the phone on the table without putting it down, so he could blabber away and waste his time. When I checked back, the muppet had already hung up!11 yearsI got a call from this number early in the morning, some bloke with an Asian accent pretending to be from Windows Security Service. He woke me up real early and somehow got access to my computer since I left it on overnight. He kept hassling me for money for like four hours straight, till I had to shout at him to stop and leave me alone. Proper dodgy lot, be careful with these guys.Windows Security Service11 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying he was from "Windows Security" and claimed my PC had been sending him messages. I asked for details like my computer name and IP, but he just said he had no idea what I meant. Then he oddly wished me a Merry Christmas before cutting off. Could be pretty risky if he managed to trick someone into giving him access. What a dodgy bloke.11 yearsRang me at half eight in the morning but when I picked up all I got was silence. Definitely putting this number on my block list from now on.11 yearsI didnt pick up. It just went straight to voicemail. No message was left. Probably some sort of scam call.11 yearsI got a call at my workplace from this number. The woman on the other end insisted that I was having issues with my Windows software and warned that I needed to sort it out pronto, or risk damaging my hard drive. She said she was with "Windows" - which made me raise an eyebrow, since isn’t it Microsoft that handles such matters? Once I mentioned that the computer is a company device monitored by a professional IT team, she abruptly ended the call. It’s evident they’re fishing for unsuspecting home users who might fall for these sorts of tricks.Microsoft11 years020 3198 8112 Just quiet on the other end and then they cut off. Definitely one of them scam calls. Its better not to say anything cause they just drop the call. These calls are really annoying especially for people with disabilities. There really needs to be some kind of law to stop this.11 yearsTotal bunch of con artists, those blokes!11 yearsI've just had another call from this number, a chap with a thick accent claiming to be Sam from Windows, supposedly inquiring about my computer. I informed him that I don’t own one, and he abruptly hung up on me. This marks the third time I’ve had such a call in recent months; they seem to be rather persistent, don’t they?Sam11 yearsPicked up the phone, but all I got was silence.11 yearsA guy with an Asian accent said he was from Microsoft about my software. I don't even have any, so I just ended the call.Microsoft11 yearsthey rang me earlier. i picked up and all i could hear was people chatting away in the background. when someone finally spoke up, they asked for a fake name. i just stayed quiet until they ended the call. their loss really. i doubt they’ll bother ringing again since i don’t give them nothing.11 yearsjust got a call from 0203 1988112; an indian lady claiming to be from microsoft support. her english was so broken it was tough to follow; she said some files on my computer were corrupted and microsoft had been trying to reach me. now that i think about it, this is the fourth time i’ve gotten calls like this. just yesterday i got one from 0034 53432345 which seems like an international number. after reading some reviews, it’s clear this is a scam too. where on earth are these scammers finding all these phone numbers??Microsoft11 yearsgot a call from an asian woman who said her name was nina and claimed to be from windows support, sounded like a total scam so i just hung up straight away.Nina11 yearsSome Asian bloke called me sayin there was an issue with my computer. When I asked him for the computer's ID, he couldn’t provide it. Totally a scam in my opinion. He didn’t even know my name and started talkin about the person who used the place like 9 years ago. Said he was from Microsoft Support but it was all rubbish and seemed really dodgy.Microsoft Support11 yearsThis number rings me like 5 or 6 times daily. I usually ignore it, happy I kept that up after reading the reviews here. Cheers to everyone who posted their stories on this site!11 yearsThis number has rang me a couple times today. I didnt answer and there was no voicemail either.11 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy saying my computer’s got issues. I told him I’d report him. He just replied, “Good luck with that!”11 yearsthis bloke threatened me with a knife and said he knew where I lived when I called him out on his scam. I put my call blocker on and the calls stopped, which was a relief. When I turned off the blocker so I could get faxes again, the calls just started up all over again. This time, I just let them ring out and didn’t pick up.11 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be with British Telecom, stating they could enhance my connection. However, they insisted I needed to power up my computer and be at the screen for them to assist me. I promptly hung up and looked into the number.British Telecom11 yearsI was the one who flagged this number back on 15/11/18. Got another ring this morning but I ignored it again. They keep ringing me, honestly feels like harassment now.11 yearsAnd here we go again! That’s the third call from this number in just a few minutes since I reported the second one. Didn’t pick up. Feels like straight up harassment now.11 yearsI received a call from these chaps just now. When I mentioned I was a software developer, they seemed rather curious and began probing for deets about some spy software supposedly on my machine. Suddenly, he cut the line! I was really disappointed, as I rather enjoy having a bit of fun with these sorts of con artists.11 yearsfraudster for sure11 yearsDodgy characters posing as Microsoft are on the loose!Microsoft11 yearsgot a call from an asian guy talking about some windows issue. i told him my pc wasnt here and was being fixed. he said something about the computer being blocked or barred now. i just ended the call. seems like one of those scams like others mentioned.11 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy claiming I was having issues with Windows on my laptop. He sounded really keen for me to switch it on. Told him the laptop isn't with me. This number has called me twice before but never left a message. After seeing what others have said, I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam.11 yearsI received a phone call from a woman who gave the impression of being in a call centre. She claimed to be contacting me on behalf of Windows, insisting that my computer was experiencing issues. She offered to sort it out for me. I responded by saying I’d take a look at my computer and would call her back if I deemed it essential. To be honest, I wasn't anticipating being able to trace a number, as it’s quite common for these types of scams to hide their caller IDs.11 yearsPlease do take steps to prevent this call from getting through.11 yearsThis number rang me earlier today, I didn’t pick up - feels like I made the right choice after reading what others said! Cheers to everyone for sharing their experiences.11 yearsReceived a call from this number earlier, and it was a chap with an accent demanding to know about ‘the debt I owe him’. He was rather pushy and had a rather confrontational way about him, but as soon as I mentioned that I wasn’t the individual he was after, he promptly hung up!11 yearsMan with an Asian accent, definitely sounded like a scammer.11 yearsGot a call from a guy who spoke really bad English, maybe from Asia, claiming to be from Windows. He said my computer had loads of issues and asked if he could get into it. I played along for a bit, then asked if he needed my password. When he said yes, I called him out as a scammer and we had a bit of an argument before I just ended the call.11 yearsI received a call from this number on Monday, 16th November 2015, at precisely 09:11. The caller claimed to be from Microsoft. I informed them that Microsoft never contacts customers directly. I also mentioned that they were nothing but scammers, and then they hung up on me.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. There was silence for a bit then someone just kept saying "hello" a few times. I could hear other voices in the background like it was some kind of call centre. Since I didn’t respond, they just ended the call. After looking at the reviews here, it seems they switch up the last two digits to dodge being blocked. Proper annoying!11 yearsCheers for the tip! Got a ring from this number on the 4th of November, 2015. Thankfully, my voicemail picked it up and I’ve since blocked it.11 yearsI didn’t pick up as I didn’t know the number, it just went straight to my voicemail. They didn’t say anything.11 yearsThis number has rung me thrice in the last couple of days, and the first two times there was just silence, no one talking. Definitely a scam, likely automated. Caller claimed to be from the Windows support team, said her name was Juliana but had a strong Indian accent. I ended up hanging up on them.Juliana11 yearsReceived two calls from this number yesterday (30/10/15) and another two today. My answering machine picked them up, but they didn’t leave any messages. I appreciate you pointing out that this is likely a scam call. Cheers!11 yearsReceived a call at nine in the morning, but as soon as I answered, they disconnected with a click and didn’t utter a word. This isn’t the first instance of them ringing me, either.11 yearsJust a heads up, folks! That series of digits, 020319881xx, has been flagged as a fraudulent Microsoft helpline. They’re basically just trying to extract your personal details or gain access to your computer. It's best to cut them off entirely. Don’t depend on do-not-call lists; instead, I recommend getting an app from this site for your smartphone (it works brilliantly on Android-I’ve got it on mine). It can block all those pesky nuisance calls and will simply notify you if a call has been intercepted. Simple as that!Microsoft11 yearsWhen I answered the call, the caller promptly hung up.11 yearsI received a call from some foreign call centre claiming to represent Microsoft. Definitely best to block this number!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (020 3198 8112)
