Phone number ☎️ 02896532263 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call pretending to be from Microsoft, often warning recipients their computer is hacked or running illegal software. Callers use fake names and addresses, sometimes switch between 'staff', and pressure you to grant remote access via software like Anydesk.

Many hang up quickly, recognising it as a bogus call.

Didn’t say a word when I picked up, just silence on the other end. Pretty strange.

Got a call this morning around 10:36, the person claimed to be from Windows and said there were issues with my PC that they could sort out. I told them I don’t do phone support and they got quite pushy, even threatening that my computer would "blow up" if I ignored them. After a bit of back and forth, I just ended the call.

Somebody rang me saying they were from Microsoft, musta been feeling a bit daft ‘cause I ended up yapping with them for 56 mins - longest I’ve ever done! Said his name was Alvin Watson, some senior software engineer, and even shared Microsoft’s Reading office address to convince me. Claimed my PC was compromised and had dodgy software running. Gotta admit, they were pretty persistent and seemed to pass me between different people in their ‘office.’ Main goal was to get me to key in [#]anydesk[###]/download.

Got a call yesterday from someone saying they were with Microsoft. They asked to get remote access to my computer supposedly to sort out a Trojan or some kind of malware problem. Turned out it was a scam, they were just trying to steal my personal info.
