03448002400 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03448002400 👆 is reported as a number widely linked to aggressive and persistent scam calls claiming to be from Microsoft or BT. Callers often allege devices have been hacked or compromised, demanding remote access or immediate action, sometimes using threatening language. Many report callers with strong foreign accents, pressure tactics, and attempts to obtain personal or financial information. Although the number resembles official Microsoft contact details, genuine Microsoft support does not initiate unsolicited calls. Some users have experienced repeated harassment and financial losses. Others found the number associated with legitimate business support but overwhelmingly caution against engaging and recommend verifying through official company channels. Vulnerable individuals should remain cautious, avoid sharing sensitive information, and be wary of remote access requests related to this number.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, saying my info was being used wrong and I hadn’t replied to error alerts. I told them I didn’t buy it and figured it was just a scam. They then went on about shutting down my internet and phone line. Even after that threat, I told them I wasn’t convinced at all.

This number is definitely dodgy, they try to trick you into giving personal info. When you ring it, it claims to be Microsoft, but it's got no ties to them at all.

I got a call from a woman claiming to be from Microsoft, telling me my PC was hacked. She gave me a phone number that looked official but was actually a mobile: 07824156353. It was clearly a scam. She was really forceful and rude, trying to get me to let her into my computer. She even raised her voice at me. My advice is to hang up straight away if you get a call like this.

Got a call from someone who sounded Indian, claiming to be William Smith from Reading. Honestly, no one with an Indian background is called William Smith! I just hung up straight away because I’m sure I don’t know that person. He told me my Microsoft account had been compromised by overseas scammers. He actually knew my full name and where I live, which was a bit creepy. I told him I wasn’t buying it and he said he’d ring back tomorrow. I really doubt any of it. I’ve got two different internet security systems running and neither have flagged anything suspicious.

I got three calls from 0344 800 2400 right in the dead of night at 2.45, then again at 3.06 and 3.11. It woke me and my partner up proper shocked. Before that, I’d asked for a tech support callback through the Microsoft support site, so I thought maybe it was legit, but honestly, who calls you at that time?! I ignored the calls and eventually blocked the number, and luckily they stopped ringing after that. Not sure if they grabbed my number off the real Microsoft page or if I accidentally used a fake Microsoft support site, but it was pretty dodgy either way.

This is bizarre, I searched for Microsoft Offices in London and it showed 2 Kingdom Street Paddington with the phone number 03448002400. But when I checked a directory of tenants at 2 Kingdom Street, Microsoft wasn’t listed at all. I’m worried I might have unknowingly been caught up in a scam. The guy who called me sounded professional and introduced himself as James Martin from MS Support. He came across as very believable.

I got a call from 07983170486, a man with an Asian accent claiming he was from Microsoft. He said my laptop was compromised and hackers were using it to visit gambling and adult websites. He insisted he needed to connect to my computer to fix the problem. When I questioned him, he said he was calling from Microsoft's main office in Reading and even gave me a phone number, 03448002400, supposedly for his department. It was clear to me this was a scam, so I told him straight away.

I got a call from 074120398818, a woman said my Microsoft software was at risk. When I asked for more details, a bloke interrupted, saying his name was "James Classen". He warned me about illegal stuff on my PC that could cause trouble for others, and that legal action might be taken against me. He said they’d lock my computer and I’d have to visit their office with ID to unlock it. I told him I needed to check a few things first, so he handed me a number to ring back - 0344 8002400 - which I later found out has been flagged as suspicious before.

I got in touch with the Microsoft tech support through the official site and shortly after, this number gave me a ring. Seems like they might hire their tech support from outside. They sorted out my Windows licence reactivation no problem at all. From what I saw, it looked like a genuine contact, but I can’t say for certain if the number’s been misused before, or if lots of different call centres use it as some sort of shared line.

Heads up! Got a call from 0344 8002400 a bit ago, they claimed there was some illegal stuff going on with my PC. The person was really pushy about me switching it on right away. When I asked for details about when the supposed illegal activity happened, they couldn't give me a straight answer and just said they didn't know. I then questioned how they could be sure at all, and suddenly the guy raised his voice and tried to tell me to turn on my machine. Naturally, I just ended the call there. Total scam if you ask me.

Received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft Security, using the number 03448002400. The caller, who said her name was Amilee Rose, told me my computer had been compromised and offered to remotely fix it. I decided not to continue the conversation and told them I'd call back. After doing a quick search on the number, I found it’s linked to scammers. Since then, I haven’t returned the call. Just to be safe, I changed my Microsoft password and set up two-step verification on my phone. Be careful, these lot are up to no good!

Had this really pushy woman on the phone insisting I’d not replied to emails from "Microsoft" about my computer being hacked. She warned me I’d lose all services within an hour if I didn’t get back to them. Since I couldn’t use my computer then, she gave me an 0344 number to call. Do Microsoft actually do this kind of thing? I mean, if they’re such a huge company and know about hackers, why don’t they just block the access altogether? Surely they have the tools to do that. She kept ringing me again and again but I just didn’t pick up.

So, I had trouble with activating Windows on my brand new computer. I went to the link that popped up on the error screen and put in my phone number on what looked like Microsoft's site to get a help link. Then this number rang me. The caller didn’t ask for any personal details or try to get me to download software. They actually helped fix the activation issue. Seems pretty odd to think a scammer could have hacked into Microsoft's site and got my details like that.
