Phone number ☎️ 0801788556 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from individuals often claiming to represent well-known tech companies or telecom providers. Callers, frequently using heavy Indian or Asian accents, attempt to convince recipients that their computers or internet services are compromised, urging them to provide remote access or personal details. These calls are scripted and lack genuine technical knowledge. Victims are advised not to engage or grant any access, recognising these as fraudulent attempts to deceive and potentially cause harm. It is also reported that some calls come with silent hang-ups or false claims of needing to visit homes for equipment changes. Blocking such numbers and remaining vigilant is strongly recommended.

10 yearsGot a call from a chap with a thick Indian or Asian accent, purporting to be from the Windows tech support team. He was keen on getting into my computer to sort out supposed issues. It was quite obvious he lacked any genuine tech expertise beyond his rehearsed lines. I informed him that we are all well aware this is nothing but a scam and that he and his associates are just spinning their wheels.10 yearsGot a call from someone with a strong Asian accent claiming to be from the Windows support team, saying they wanted to fix issues on my PC. Total scam, obviously. I was pretty blunt and told them to get lost.10 yearsWatch out, this is definitely a scam call!
