07478030812 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 07478030812 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number originating from the UK, often using an Asian or Indian-accented caller claiming to be from Microsoft or a similar technical support entity. Callers attempt to convince recipients that their computer is infected or compromised, pressuring them to grant remote access or provide personal and banking details. This frequently aggressive and hostile behaviour includes insults and hang-ups once scepticism is expressed. Multiple reports highlight attempts to defraud vulnerable individuals, including the elderly, with some victims nearly losing substantial sums. The calls frequently occur early morning and have no voicemail message. Users advise against answering, providing information, or engaging; instead, blocking the number and reporting to relevant authorities is strongly recommended.

3 yearsI chose not to pick up and after seeing what others said, I’m pretty relieved I didn’t.8 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone asking if I owned a computer. I asked which one they meant and then the bloke just ended the call. He had a voice that sounded a bit like he was Chinese or maybe had a Bruce Lee kinda accent.Bruce Lee8 yearssome bloke with an Asian accent tried to con me, saying I bought an Apple tablet from his company and overpaid. He asked for my bank details to give me a refund, I told him no way. Then he said they’d post me a cheque and just hung up.Apple8 yearsSomeone called saying they were from Microsoft and told me my computer got hacked.Microsoft8 yearsThis number seems connected to some other annoying number 01202755659 (Bourne-mouth). Had a laugh this morning with ‘Microsoft team’ - they called back as promised on the 07478 number above but I told them I still couldn’t find my glasses. In the past few hours, I’ve got 8 missed calls, and yep, got another one just now.BournemouthMicrosoft9 yearsThey really ought to be taken to court for this.9 yearsLike others here, they claimed to be from Microsoft. As soon as I mentioned I was on an Apple Mac, they just ended the call. Definitely a scam!MicrosoftApple9 yearsGot a call around 3:45 this afternoon but luckily didnt pick up, it went straight to voicemail and they didn’t leave anything.9 yearsThis mornin my landline buzzed with a call, but all I could hear was a lot of static. We’ve got our number unlisted and are on the TPS list. It’s so frustrating getting calls like these!9 yearsDitto here. Seems a shame they wouldn't put half as much work into a proper job as they do trying to con folks.9 yearsSome bloke said he was from Microsoft, saying there was malware on my PC. I told him I was driving down a dual carriageway and had stopped in a layby, so I couldn’t check my computer right then. He then asked if he could ring me back later. After that, I mentioned he had the wrong name for me, and then he just gave up.Microsoft9 yearsJust like loads of others, I got a call from someone claiming to be a Microsoft tech, saying there was an issue with my PC and I had to switch it on. I was well aware it was a scam, so I kept him on the line, telling him my computer wouldn't start and I suspected hackers had already broken in. After a while, I reckon he twigged I was messing around and got really rude before slamming the phone down. I've blocked their numbers several times, but they always ring back using a different one!Microsoft9 yearsTook too long to pick up, which was pretty frustrating since I was ready to finish with my usual cheeky line about wanting to get it on with their mum.9 yearsGot a call from 07478030812 this morning at 08:51. Luckily, BT Call Guardian picked it up. Definitely suggest using it!BT Call Guardian9 yearsGot a call this morning at 7:45 from a guy saying he was Ryan Wilkins, working for Microsoft in London. He was quite clearly up to no good, trying to get me to let him control my computer remotely. Honestly, don’t trust him or share any details. Just block his number right away.Ryan WilkinsMicrosoftLondon9 yearsGot a call at 7:48 this morning from an Asian bloke claiming there was an issue with my computer. Ended up blocking his number using CPR CallBlocker.9 yearsGot a call from ‘Microsoft’ but the line was terrible, and they started the usual nonsense about issues with my computer - as if someone from Microsoft or any legit tech firm would ring me up like that.Microsoft9 yearsWhat I don't get is how they're still able to use a UK number! Some bloke with a strong Asian accent trying to pass off as Microsoft - total scam.UKMicrosoft9 yearsCalled me early at 7:45 in the morning. As soon as I picked up, they just ended the call. What a waste of time!9 yearsGot a call from someone named Michael saying he was with Microsoft and that there was an issue with my PC. Then he asked if I worked for Microsoft and just ended the call right after.MichaelMicrosoft9 yearsTypical scammer, said my PC was full of viruses, the same old nonsense, said he worked for Microsoft. I just kept chatting to him to waste his time and make his bill go up. He got proper angry when he twigged I was just messing about.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from this number around 7:50 this morning. The guy said there was an issue with my windows laptop. I told him with a bit of sarcasm, "oh wow, that's funny because I don't even own one." He just ended the call right away.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier. It was a woman with an Indian/Asian accent. When I asked for her number so I could ring her later, she kept going on about some big problem with my computer and that a hacker was trying to break in. I asked again for her contact details to return the call, but she just hung up on me.9 yearsGot a call from this number at my job today. When I answered, there was complete silence and then they just dropped the call.9 years8.45 in the morning - got a call from someone called 'Michael' sayin he's from Microsoft 'bout my computer. I asked what computer he meant. He goes, 'Your Microsoft computer.' I told him I've got no such thing. Then he asked if I've got a laptop, I said nah, I don't own any computer, I don't really trust them. Then he just said thanks and ended the call!!MichaelMicrosoft9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, and the guy said there was a court order against us for some unpaid advert charges. He warned they'd be here within 40 minutes to check what they could seize for the debt. It was seriously scary and stressful, but we soon figured out it was just a dodgy scam.9 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent claimed he was from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with my PC. I told him I don’t even own a computer and he just cut me off.Microsoft9 yearstypical microsoft support con. i got them chatting for about 34 minutes, and by the end they were really hostile and started making threats.Microsoft9 yearsNot sure if the person who called noticed but on my caller ID it said 'Internet' 07478030812 at 12.08pm today. So looks like they’re calling through some kind of computer system. Luckily I didn’t pick up and checked the number here first. If it hadn’t said ‘Internet’ I might of just answered. Bloody scammers!9 yearsSome bloke called "Isaac" rang me sayin he was from Microsoft and wanted to "help" with my computer. I just told him where it was roughly. Proper risky if anyone who doesn’t know any better falls for that and lets him have a go! ???IsaacMicrosoft9 yearsSome guy called himself Michael Evans and went on with a confusing story about my computer causing issues with Microsoft whenever I checked my emails. I just let him blab away for a while, then told him I don't even have a computer or a laptop. Unsurprisingly, he ended the call right then!Michael EvansMicrosoft9 yearsPhone hung up as soon as I picked up, judging by all the other reviews I got off pretty easy. Have blocked the number now.9 yearsThis number 07478030812 called my house in north Wales at about 11:19am on Tuesday 30th January 2018. The bloke spoke with what sounded like an Indian accent claiming he was from Microsoft. I told him straight up he wasnt from Microsoft and he was fibbing. He kept insisting he was telling the truth. I told him he was a nasty person and when he meets his maker, he’ll end up in hell. Then he hung up. Ive now blocked this number as I reckon it’s dodgy, probably tryin to scam or nick info. WATCH OUT everyone!!North WalesMicrosoft9 yearsToday at 12.27pm, I got a call from a lady claiming to be with Microsoft. She said hackers were attempting to get into my computer. She asked if my computer was switched on, and I said no. Then she told me to turn it on and check, but I just ended the call because it felt like a scam!Microsoft9 yearsHe had an Indian accent and mentioned a name but I didn’t quite catch it. Claimed he was ringing about my computer. When I said I don’t own a computer, he quickly switched to saying “your laptop”. I told him there was no way he could know if I had one or not, then he just hung up straight away.9 yearsAt about 9 in the morning, I got a call on my landline from a bloke with an Eastern accent claiming to be a MICRO ENGINEER. He said hackers had been trying to break into my laptop and mentioned some 32 digit code that was supposedly my unique security number. I found it fishy straight away, especially since he was so insistent and kept pushing me to open my laptop right away, which I definitely wasn’t going to do. For a second, I did feel a bit uneasy, but then I looked up the number and realised it had to be a scammer just waiting to trick someone and steal their info. Common sense saved me there.9 yearsGot a call this morning about 8:45 from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming he was from Microsoft. When I said my lad actually works for Microsoft, he got really pushy and was proper rude, even called me some awful names and accused me of lying.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from this guy earlier today, and he got real nasty, started swearing when he figured out I was messing with him back! Said his name was Ryan Wilson or something like that!!!Ryan Wilson9 yearsGot a call from this number at about 8:55 in the morning, but there was no one speaking on the other side. Didn’t recognise the number at all. When it showed up on my phone, it said it was an international call, but none of my mates live overseas. Checked this site and yep, it’s definitely a scam. Weird thing is, it was from a mobile number, which I haven’t seen before. Will be keeping a closer eye from now on.9 yearsThere was nobody actually there, which is a bit rubbish, but I enjoy dragging it out anyway.9 yearsGot a call not long ago from someone going on about Microsoft and my PC. I just told them to jog on and hung up straight away.Microsoft9 yearsTotal scammer, I messed about on the phone for ages acting daft, then I asked if their folks were aware of what they're up to and how they manage to sleep at night knowing they're robbing people.9 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian/Pakistani accent sayin he was from Microsoft. He asked if I was by my computer and to open Google and type in some code. I just stayed calm and told him nicely to bugger off.MicrosoftGoogle9 yearsMy 85 year old dad nearly got scammed out of £445.08 after some bloke on the phone got him to give his card info. Luckily HSBC's fraud team caught it in time. Pretty sure this was the number they called from.HSBC9 yearsGot a call from this number, asked to leave a message but their voicemail was full, so I couldn't. Just wanted to say that if they call me again, I'll be reporting them to the cops!!9 yearsThis bloke spoke with a strong Asian accent and said he was from Microsoft. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from 07478030812 on 23rd Jan early morning. An Asian bloke claimed to be from Microsoft, said there was something wrong with my PC. I told him straight to stop the scam nonsense and find a real job. Properly annoying and pushing it.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from a man with a strong Indian accent. Didn't say anything about Microsoft, just claimed my computer was infected with a virus that would get locked down. I told him to go on then hung up straight away. He called back right away and asked "Why did you hang up without my consent?" I said "Who do you think you are?" and put the phone down again.

When I answered with "Cheers for ringing - I'm actually with Microsoft Security, what's the issue here?" he sounded irritated and started shouting in what I’m guessing was his native tongue (some thick Bombay accent), something like "Bloody bastard, f***ing bastard!" I just told him, "Mate, you're the one who sounds dodgy, bye then!" Proper laugh!DavidMicrosoftMicrosoft Security9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Microsoft, total scammer.Microsoft9 yearsThis number has been ringing non stop all day, ive blocked em now. They must be daft to think I'll answer again. Proper scam alert, watch out everyone!9 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from Microsoft. Pretty clear it was a scam. I didn't hold back and told him to kindly go multiply in no uncertain terms.Microsoft9 yearsA guy with an Indian accent ring me up at like 7:15 in the morning, says "Good afternoon, I'm calling from Microsoft about your computer." Total scam, don't trust it.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call late at night from a guy with an Indian accent, called me twice! Wasn’t exactly polite, told him to jog on. It’s way too early to be getting calls like that anyway, especially when I’m on edge waiting for news about my mum who’s really unwell. If I ever catch that muppet, I’m not responsible for what I might say. He claimed he was from Microsoft trying to sort out my faulty computer - must be pretty knackered if he thinks I own a computer at all.Microsoft9 yearsMy other half got two calls today from some bloke saying he worked for Microsoft! From what I’ve read in the other reviews, this guy sounds like a proper nuisance. Watch out people! Stay safe all.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call at 7:20 in the morning, but they didn't say anything. Supposedly, we are ex-directory!9 yearsGot a call from a bloke saying his name was Daniel on 19/01/2018 at 12:39pm, claiming to be from Microsoft.

Best to avoid!9 yearsSpoke with a weird accent, said they were from Microsoft. Told me my computer was sending out errors and wanted me to help by giving them remote access. I told them I didn’t own a computer and they just hung up. Total scam.Microsoft9 yearsAt first there was nothing but static, then the line fizzed and they just cut the call.9 yearsTotally a scam, some guy from India pretending he works for Microsoft, then gets all angry when you tell him you know he’s full of rubbish. Perfect bloke to give a bit of cheek to!Microsoft9 yearsSomeone phoned asking if this was a business number. I asked for his full name, role, company, and what he wanted. He got all pushy, telling me I had to give him my name. I just told him again he didn’t need it, I wanted his details first. He went on about how I had to tell him anyway, so I just said no, and he ended up calling me a childish insult before hanging up. Looked up the number :) Seems telling people it’s Microsoft doesn’t work like it used to.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from this number by a bloke speaking with an Indian accent claiming he was from Microsoft. He said he was gonna block my computer. I was like "Yeah right, Microsoft doesn’t do that."

Honestly, he seemed all over the place and mucked up trying both scams at once.MicrosoftPost Office9 yearsGot a call on my home phone at 8 in the morning on a Saturday, totally woke me up.
