02879865845 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02879865845 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number linked to a well-known computer support scam. Callers, often with South Asian accents, falsely claim to be from Microsoft or affiliated technical teams, warning of critical issues on the victim’s Windows PC to induce remote access. They frequently use scare tactics involving event viewer errors and may attempt to install malware or extort money. Many have complained about aggressive, rude behaviour and refusals to respect the Telephone Preference Service. The number is often associated with silent calls or hang-ups when challenged. Users advise not to engage, never allow remote access, and to report the number. It is important to note that Microsoft does not make unsolicited support calls, and this number is widely recognised as fraudulent.

Got calls from this number and also 0195478845 claiming to be from Windows Support - yeah, right, I’m not falling for that.

Got a call earlier today from this number, some bloke with an Asian accent said he was from Windows support. Sounded dodgy since he acted like Windows was an actual company, so I wasn’t having any of it. Told him I didn’t trust it, said cheers and hung up. Then later on the same day, the same number rang again but no one said a word. Both calls came around lunchtime.

Total scam, no doubt! I didn’t mind munching up some time on a dull Monday morning messing with him. Played along with his whole ‘Windows’ issue spiel until I told him he was barking up the wrong tree since I use a Mac. Mentioned I was recording for the coppers too, and he hung up sharpish after that.

Got a call from a woman with quite a thick Asian accent claiming Microsoft had flagged issues with my computer. I said "Sorry?" a couple of times as she kept going, and when there was a pause I just said "You’re talking nonsense!" and hung up. Even after that, I could still hear her trying to argue.

This is a total computer scam. They try to get you to open the Event Viewer showing admin events to freak you out with all those yellow warning signs and errors. Their method of showing your supposed computer ID is fake, as they just pull info from their own system. They say they’re from “Online London Support” at 14 Hanover Street, London, but that place doesn’t actually host them. It’s a bogus copy of a legit company called Online Support London. The postcode they gave, PW8 9JQ, is totally made up.

This is definitely a scam aimed at tricking you about your computer. I decided to humour them just to see what their approach was and how they try to pull this off. They start with a sort of introduction and then follow through with the main act. Their go-to trick is threatening to shut down your PC if you don’t cooperate. They bring up the Event Viewer showing all sorts of scary warnings and errors, intended to freak you out. Then they hand you over to another person for the “big pitch.” They claim to retrieve your computer’s ID from their system, but it’s nonsense since it would be the same for anyone. I got multiple calls early in the morning from someone pretending to be called Online London Support, giving a fake London address on Hanover Street that isn’t even registered. They try to mimic a genuine company called Online Support London but it’s all bogus. The postcode they mentioned, PW8 9JQ, is nonsense too. Don’t fall for it!

Got a call from a London number but I’m not even in the UK. Definite scam alert. Best thing to do? Don’t give out any info, just hang up or if you fancy a laugh, mess with them by throwing in quotes from Monty Python or Blackadder. It turns into a bit of a game, honestly quite fun!

Tech support calls nonstop, total rip-offs. They keep insisting they can sort out my PC. I warned them their number is flagged loads of times as a scam but it didn't stop them. I'm certain they'll be back on the phone soon enough. How come these con artists are still allowed to operate when everyone knows what they are?

Today I got a ring from this number, some guy with an Asian accent said my computer somehow asked him to get in touch and offered to fix it if I was near my PC. I mentioned I’m on the TPS list, but he brushed it off saying he wasn’t making a cold call. I told him I didn’t need any help since my daughter, who’s a software engineer, takes care of all my computer stuff. This isn’t the first time I’ve had calls like this, and a mate of mine got two similar calls even though she doesn’t even own a computer.

Just got a call from 02879865845 at about 3:45 pm on 2nd May. I’m jotting down the time and date hoping the company’s management might actually look at these comments and realise they’re hiring silent callers who clearly aren’t doing their job right. I could tell someone was on the line because there’s that message that plays when you hang up.

I just received a call from 02879865845 at precisely 3:45 PM on the 2nd of May, 2016. I'm documenting this in the hope that their management might stumble upon these comments and review their call records. It makes one wonder if they really want to pay individuals who engage in silent phoning - it hardly seems a productive use of resources! There was clearly someone at the other end, as the ‘call cleared’ message pops up as soon as they disconnect.

Got a call from 02879865845 around 1 in the afternoon on 29-04-2016. An African woman claimed there was an issue with my internet. I knew straight away it was a scam since I’ve had loads of calls like this before. I told her she’d reached Tech Support and asked her to provide her service contract number and which department she was from so we could check her problem. If she couldn’t, then she was trying to scam me and my software had logged her number, and the legal team would be looking into it. She hung up suddenly.

Some bloke rang saying he was from Microsoft. I told him to hang up on himself when he claimed there were errors on my PC. I asked, "What computer?" and he said "Microsoft one." I then explained 1) I don't own any Microsoft device and haven't for ages, so how could he know? 2) I'm registered with the TPS and this call was illegal. 3) Remove my number from all your lists or I’ll report you if you call back. Then I ended the call.

I'm proper fed up with these scammers pretending to work for Microsoft and boasting about being certified. No clue what certificates they reckon they've got - probably something made up. They’ve gotten way pushier lately, almost insisting I switch my computer on so they can “sort out” my issues. I just hang up now; they're not as entertaining to mess with as they used to be.

They called me twice, but there was a strange pause before someone answered, saying something about a computer issue. The line sounded really dodgy, and I’ve heard about these kinds of scams before. My phone number isn’t even on any public lists, so how did they get hold of it? Be cautious, it sounded like a man and a woman from India trying to pull a scam. After those calls, they even rang from a withheld number. Every time, I just ended the call straight away!

Got a call from this number earlier. There was a weird pause before anyone talked. A guy with an Indian accent claimed he was from Microsoft, saying my computer had serious errors. He wanted me to turn it on so he could fix it, then said I’d get to talk to a legit Microsoft tech afterwards. I cut him off pretty sharp because he kept trying to keep me on the phone! Definitely gonna report this to Microsoft. Seriously, watch out for this kinda scam - it’s dodgy as hell. They even called my number which isn’t published and has been on the TPS for over four years! Honestly, TPS seems pointless if this is happening.

This number is one of those where someone with a strong foreign accent claims to be calling from Microsoft tech support, saying your computer has serious issues. If you keep the call going, they’ll try to get control of your PC (if you let them) and then demand money. They’ve been ringing me at least a couple times a week lately. I usually play along for a bit before telling them they must really be embarrassing their family doing this. Occasionally I’m a bit harsher. I’ve reported them to the ICO and police, but it still hasn’t stopped.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming my Windows had serious errors. I told him I was actually staring out my window and everything looked fine. He then insisted it was a Microsoft Windows issue and some fatal problem with my device. I said I don’t even own a computer. He quickly switched to saying my laptop then, but I told him I don’t have one of those either. The call cut off right after that! Definitely felt like a scam to me. You’d think with all the money Microsoft has, they’d do something to stop these fraudsters.

Then I questioned if she enjoyed lying and being involved in a scam. She looked totally clueless, didn’t get what I meant at all. Really makes you wonder about the kinda life they live. Zero guilt, that’s for sure.

Got a couple of calls lately from someone sounding Asian, trying to get me to turn on my computer. I told them straight up it’s dodgy and I’m not gonna give my bank info over the phone. Then they tried to quote the Data Protection Act, saying they can’t take personal details on a call - I called them out on that and said they really should’ve looked it up first. When I checked the number online, some sites actually claim it’s an official Microsoft tech support line! Honestly, it’s getting sketchier by the minute.

Got a call from an Asian lady named Susan. Chatted with her for about 15 minutes and was having a laugh, but things turned sour when I mentioned I only had an apple. She suddenly lost interest and didn’t want to carry on.

Some bloke was showing my lad the Windows Event Viewer, trying to baffle him and get him to let him in through TeamViewer for a "business meeting". When he tried to charge for it, my son got wary and gave me a ring. We've turned the PC off now and taking it to the shop tomorrow to have a proper look and clear out any dodgy stuff they could have put in.

Got a call from someone saying there was an issue with my computer. They asked if I was sitting at it right then. I just blasted out The Grand Old Duke of York loudly. They didn’t join in at all. Total scammers!

This number keeps ringing me but as soon as I pick up, they just drop the call. If I let it ring through to my voicemail, they end the call there too. Honestly, I'm fed up with getting bugged by this number. From now on, I'll just keep my phone on answer machine mode until whoever's calling either speaks or leaves a message.

Got a call from an asian guy claiming he was from Microsoft tech support, telling me there was something wrong with my computer. I told him I wasnt buying it and just ended the call. My number is on the telephone preference service list but that clearly doesnt stop these annoying calls.

Got a call earlier from someone who called himself Mike from Microsoft, saying my PC was running slow and offered a code to fix it. Total scam! If you enter that code, they can actually hack into your computer. Didn’t even bother talking to him and just blocked the number straight away.

Some bloke from abroad targetted an elderly lady for over an hour. Told her her account was hacked, went on about viruses and stuff. Tried getting her email and even asked for money. He phoned back a few times too. Proper harassment and really unsafe.

Thought it was a scam. Woman claimed there was an issue with my computer. Told her I don’t own a computer. Then she insisted it was my laptop, I said I don't have one. She kept asking how it’s possible I don’t have a computer. I just stayed quiet and waited till she ended the call.
