Phone number ☎️ 08713540022 👆 is reported as a scam call from individuals claiming to be from Windows technical support, often using fake names like Max Wilson or Ian Brown. Callers typically insist there's a virus or computer issue and attempt to gain remote access, sometimes pressuring recipients to provide personal or bank details. The callers often sound foreign, are persistent, and may become aggressive when challenged. They cannot verify their legitimacy with official company details and frequently use withheld or suspicious numbers. Targets include both Windows and Mac users, with scammers ignoring claims that no Windows systems are in use. Authorities such as Action Fraud and Trading Standards have been contacted. It is strongly advised not to share any information, avoid dialing back, and report such calls as potential harassment or fraud.

10 yearsSome bloke named Peter rang me, said he was from Windows tech support based at 30 Victoria Street, London. He was pretty good at sounding legit but obviously wanted to get into my computer under the pretence of fixing a problem.PeterVictoria StreetLondon11 yearsI got a call from someone who seemed pretty sure of himself, even when I questioned him. He claimed to be connected with Microsoft and gave me this number, but I'm actually on a Mac. He asked me to type in some key combos to supposedly 'fix' things - I just pretended to go along with it for the lolz. Sounds like it came from an Indian call centre, so totally beyond UK rules. Best thing to do? Just end the call straight away.BlimeyMicrosoftMacUK11 yearsThis number has been ringing our landline a few times lately, about three calls in the last three weeks. I look after someone with learning difficulties, so it’s their line. The first couple of calls were about some issue with the internet, but I told them we don’t have internet at all, and they just ended the call straight away. Today, they rang again but this time said they wanted to help with nuisance calls and asked for bank details, which was a no from me. I just hung up, but does anyone know how to block these or stop them for good?11 yearsI just got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent, seemed tricky to understand. He was telling me my computer might have a trojan virus and asked me to check it. Claimed to be part of the Windows Technical Department or something like "Global IT". He gave me a number for their so-called head office, 0871 3540022. When I told him I was a bit dodgy about the whole thing and wanted to look into it first, he got quite pushy. Said there was no way he could have my computer’s licence or phone details unless he was genuine Windows staff. The caller ID was hidden, so couldn’t see where from. Couldn’t catch his name properly, sounded like “Stede Snick” or something. He mentioned some work ID number too, CM60059. Very fishy to me! - Caller: Windows Technical Dept??Windows Technical Department Global ITWindowsStede SnickCallerWindows Technical Department11 yearsGot a call today from some bloke with an Indian accent claiming there was an issue with my PC. I asked for his number so I could ring back if needed, but he got all offended and wondered why I didn’t want to fix it immediately. I said I wanted to look up his number on Google first to make sure he was legit. Then he ridiculously told me I had only 5 minutes to decide! That’s when I clocked it was a scam. When he rang again, all I could see was a load of zeros on my phone, so I just let it ring out.11 yearsThis afternoon I got a ring from this number, with a bloke claiming to be from Windows support, telling me my computer was loaded with malware and spam. I asked which device he meant, and he rattled off what he said was my Windows Licence ID. When I said I wasn’t interested and didn’t want to follow his steps to check the ID, he got all defensive, saying he wouldn’t know that number if he wasn’t legit support. I asked for his phone number, and he gave me the one above, saying he'd stay on the line while I looked it up. I told him to hang up because I wouldn’t be able to call anyone else if he stayed connected. After he ended the call, I plugged the number into Google and found loads of alerts about scam calls. The caller said his name was Max Wilson - didn’t sound like one to me at all. - Caller: Max WilsonMax Wilson11 yearsGot a call from a number that just showed up as loads of zeros on my screen. I cut the call straight away, but they rang me back nearly straight after. This time they said they were from Microsoft support and had found a virus on my computer. There’s no way they could know my home number’s connected to my work PC, so it’s obviously some sort of con!Microsoft11 yearsI got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who said he was from some company, but I didn’t catch the exact name. He kept going on about an online virus that’s targeting computers and said mine was infected. He claimed there was a Windows serial number linked to my address and phone number. I told him that can’t be right because I use a Mac, not Windows. Then he got all defensive and accused me of lying. I told him again that I’m telling the truth about using a Mac, and after a bit of back and forth, he admitted calls like this would still happen because the serial number was registered there. I just ended the call. The caller gave the name “Mike Wilson,” but honestly, it didn’t sound genuine at all.Mike Wilson11 yearsGot a call from someone named Max Wilson claiming to be from Windows tech support, said my computer had a virus. Hung up and blocked the number straight away! Reported it too!Max Wilson11 yearsHad another call from an Indian lady claiming my computer was infected with a virus. I told her I'd ring back later just to shut her up, then jotted down her annoying number. Watch out for this one, folks!11 yearsGot a call from someone named Stevie Smith, sounded like he had an Indian accent. He said there was an issue with my computer and wanted to get remote access. When I tried to end the call, he just went quiet instead of hanging up. Definitely seemed like a scam.Stevie Smith11 yearsSomeone named Max Wilson rang me claiming to be from Windows tech support about a virus on my pc. The call came from a hidden number, but when I asked for a callback number, he gave me this one. Oddly, he said my Windows licence number was 888dca60-fc0a-11cf-8f0f-00c04fd7d062 when I wanted to know which computer was affected. Definitely sounds dodgy to me - the caller said he was from Windows.Max Wilson11 yearsGot a call from this number and thought I'd hear them out. The bloke, claiming to be Ian Brown, said hackers had taken control of my PC and I needed to check my software. I wasn’t convinced and ended up arguing with him for about 20 minutes. He kept insisting I ring back on an 0871 number, saying it was free since I’m a Windows user. I told him it was wrong to scare innocent people and to stop ringing me. Then he threatened that if he removed my number, they'd cancel my Windows subscription and I wouldn’t be able to use my computer anymore! When I asked him how he could live with himself, he just hung up. Proper dodgy. - caller: Ian BrownIan Brown11 yearsThis is the second part of my experience. The caller said he was based in London and gave me a code, something like "888dca60-fc0a-11cf-8f0f-00c04fd7d062," which he said was my Windows license key. However, a simple online search reveals that code is actually used everywhere across the globe. He wouldn’t tell me which version of Windows I was supposedly running, nor did he provide any company address or official registration number. All he mentioned was the name "Online Tech Partner." The person on the phone introduced himself as Ian Brown.LondonOnline Tech PartnerIan Brown11 yearsHad a call from someone called Max Wilson, claiming to fix my home computer. The person was really harsh and kinda intimidating. When I mentioned maybe contacting the police or some authority, they just hung up on me right away. Not a nice experience at all.Max Wilson11 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier today. The caller said he was part of the Windows Technical Support team and claimed my computer had a virus that needed sorting out. The bloke was Asian and kept pushing, but since my PC's fine, I told him I wasn’t interested. He gave me his name as Max Wilson and left his number for any future issues. When I looked up the number, it came up as "Number withheld," the typical sign of a scam. Don’t be fooled by this nonsense. - caller: MAX WILSONTechnical Department of WindowsMax Wilson11 yearsThis morning I got a phone call from this number. The person claimed to be from Windows tech support and said my computer was infected with a virus that had to be sorted out. It was a persistent bloke with an Asian accent, but since my computer’s working fine I told him I wasn’t interested. He gave me this number for any future issues and said his name was Max Wilson.
