02045099699 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02045099699 👆 is reported as a persistent Microsoft-themed scam targeting UK residents, with callers often using foreign accents and aggressive tactics to convince recipients their computers are compromised or hacked. The scammers typically pressure individuals to run commands, give remote access, or reveal personal information, sometimes becoming abusive when challenged. Despite the use of legitimate-sounding names and some knowledge of victims’ details, these calls are widely recognised as fraudulent. Blocking numbers is often ineffective as they frequently change or spoof genuine UK contacts. Victims are strongly advised not to engage, report all incidents to official fraud agencies, and contact their MPs to urge implementation of stronger telecom protections against these pervasive scams.

4 yearsI got a call from someone called "David" saying he was from Microsoft. As soon as I mentioned I didn’t use a Microsoft PC, he tried switching gears and asked if I had a tablet. I said yes, but they're all ones my doctor prescribed. Then, without another word, he just dropped the call.DAVIDMicrosoft4 yearsGot a call that said it was from Microsoft, but the moment I got the phone they just hung up on me!Microsoft4 yearsGot a call about some laptop issue and then the bloke starts threatening to disconnect me.

After I kept him waiting on hold for like 20 minutes, he got proper rude and started saying I was just wasting his time. Then he called back and threatened to block my number if I didn’t do what he said and open the command prompt. When I didn’t, we ended up shouting swear words at each other. Total nightmare!Microsoft4 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent, saying she was with Microsoft. She kept pushing and told me she had proof that my computer was involved in some child porn stuff. She said she'd call back again! I've blocked the number now.Microsoft4 yearsAt first, I was told the caller was a woman named Grace. Then they handed me over to a supervisor who claimed to be from Microsoft and said they actually made my computer, which I know isn't true. Later, they changed the story and said they were just the creators of Windows. They kept insisting that someone was trying to get into my bank account. I asked them for clear evidence that they weren’t fishing for my bank details, but they completely ignored me and just kept repeating the same nonsense.GraceMicrosoft4 yearsGot a call from this number but no voicemail or anything, seems dodgy to me.

I told him my computer was fine and ended the call. He tried calling back like half a dozen times even after I said he sounded like a scammer. Eventually, when I didn’t pick up, he stopped bothering me.Microsoft4 yearsI never caught his name, but he had an Asian accent. He said he was from Microsoft and that my computer was under attack, leaving hackers able to get all my info including bank stuff. He kept pushing, saying if I didn’t act, they’d have to shut down my PC. Then he said if that happened, I’d have to take it in person to the Microsoft office at Thames Valley Park, No1 Reading RG61WG. Didn’t care that I told him I was stuck in bed and it was a one-time call. Seemed fishy, so I just hung up. Then I got another call from 0203338658 with the same story. Ended that one too.MicrosoftThames Valley ParkReading4 yearsDidn’t answer because the number was unfamiliar to me and there was no voicemail left. Seems like a scam to me.4 yearsGot a call from 020 4509 9699, asked them who it was but they replied quite rudely then just slammed the phone down on me.4 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent, but he was acting like he was proper British and said he was ringing on behalf of Microsoft... Told him where to go!Microsoft4 yearsReceived a call today concerning some dodgy activity linked to my name with Microsoft. An Asian gentleman was on the line, insisting I press FN and R simultaneously, and then he queried what appeared on my screen. Naturally, I refrained from following his instructions and instead informed him that I had done so, claiming my display had gone completely black, just like my sense of humour! I’ve got two different firms monitoring my computer activities, so unless they’re both slacking off, this looks like yet another con. What’s alarming is that he had my name and address - quite the nerve!MicrosoftFNR4 yearsTried ringing this number but it just hung up. Definitely not someone I know.4 yearsGot a call from a guy who sounded Indian, said he was from "Microsoft" and told me my computer was messed up - total scam obviously.Microsoft4 yearsSome Microsoft scam, they kept calling and got all annoying when I ignored them.

I just ask, ‘What’s this about then?’ and all I get is silence with some background noise like a busy call centre. Waited a couple of minutes hoping he’d say something, but nah, nothing. Ended up hanging up and blocking the number straight away.CallerMichael OliverMicrosoft4 yearsI didn't recognise the number and had no reason to anticipate a call from London (020), so I decided to ignore it. What's really concerning is how they managed to obtain our number in the first place. That's the real issue here.London4 yearsGot a phone call claiming to be from 'Microsoft'.Microsoft4 yearsJust got a call from 02045099699. When I picked up, the woman with an Indian accent said “national fraud helpline.” I told her, “you’re lying,” and she snapped back with “at least I’m not a thief.” Then she hung up on me. What a cheek!National Fraud4 yearsCaller: "Hello, this is Michael Oliver, reaching out on behalf of Microsoft regarding your computer." Me: "Oh really? What is it you want to discuss?" No answer, just the distant hubbub of a call centre. I waited for a couple of minutes, but since there was no response, I ended the call and promptly blocked the number.CallerMichael OliverMicrosoft4 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to work for Microsoft, and they were pretty insistent. They kept going on about some foreign IP addresses supposedly hacking my computer. I told them it sounded like a scam, but they wouldn’t back down and said my Microsoft license would be revoked if I didn’t comply. They asked me to type in a ‘cmd netstat’ command, but I didn’t go along with it. Not rude or anything, just really persistent.Microsoft4 yearsI received a rather dubious call from an individual purporting to be a senior technician from Microsoft, who insisted that my computer had been breached. He proceeded to spout a load of balderdash in an effort to convince me to grant him access to my system. When I finally caught on to his ruse, he ominously warned me that I’d be locked out of my files in three days. After the call, I dialled 1471, which revealed the number 020 4509 9699. They answered with "Microsoft Technical Services." I inquired about his location, and he claimed to be in Reading. I pressed him further about which division he was part of within Technical Services, only for him to promptly hang up. Quite suspicious, I must say!MicrosoftMicrosoft Technical ServicesReadingTechnical Services4 yearsThey rang me around 8:45 this morning but didn’t leave any voicemail or details.
