Phone number ☎️ 9898216962 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance associated with aggressive scam calls claiming to be from Microsoft or technical support. Callers, often with South Asian accents, falsely warn of viruses or computer problems, pressuring recipients to grant remote access or log into their devices. Despite many being on the Telephone Preference Service, users experience repeated daily calls, including silent or hang-up attempts. Targets include those without computers, who are harassed or insulted if they refuse cooperation. The scam is widespread internationally, with numerous warnings emphasizing not to engage or provide any information. Blocking the number offers limited relief, as calls often continue or come from varied numbers. Users are advised to remain vigilant, avoid interaction, and report to relevant authorities to help curtail these fraudulent practices.

Some bloke rang claiming to be David, mentioning something about our Microsoft computer. I simply informed him that we don't entertain unsolicited calls, said my farewells, and ended the conversation. Honestly, I’m absolutely sick to the back teeth with all these dodgy phone calls.

I’ve just had a rather alarming phone call from a chap calling himself David, sporting an Indian accent. He went on about my iMac being riddled with ‘thousands’ of viruses and insisted I power up my computer so he could sort it all out before it supposedly went belly up. His tone was quite domineering and rather pushy, and when I mentioned I didn’t need his so-called help and was cutting the conversation short, he didn’t take it well at all. He even tried to ring me back, but I promptly hung up. Just a word of caution, everyone: don’t fall for these fraudulent schemes!

What a dodgy experience! I'm getting daily calls here in Switzerland from some outfit claiming to be Microsoft. They insist that my computer has been compromised and pressure me to enter a code they provide. The thing is, we use Macs exclusively, not a trace of Windows anywhere! It’s clearly a scam.

What a peculiar number this is! I don’t recognise it at all. It baffles me that Swisscom hasn’t taken action to block this “nuisance number” yet; surely it’s well-known among their team by now. However, when there’s a chance to make a profit, some folks will go to ridiculous lengths, like turning a blind eye to the nonsense or finding solace in cucumber slices on their eyes... apparently that’s supposed to be relaxing! Meanwhile, these nuisances can carry on bothering us. I think I might invest in a whistle to make a bit of noise back!

I've been living in Switzerland and for a fortnight, this particular number has been incessantly ringing me. They seem to have a knack for calling nearly every day, right around 9 to 9.30 in the morning our time. I did engage in conversation with one chap who claimed to be representing Microsoft, insisting that their centre had flagged some urgent virus alerts linked to my computer! He wanted me to access my computer immediately. However, when I inquired about his location, he mentioned London, yet the number had a US area code... curious, isn't it? As soon as I stopped responding, he promptly ended the call. Despite my silence, the calls keep pouring in daily. Does anyone have a clue what they're after and how I might manage to put an end to this nuisance?

Sans l'ombre d'un doute, c'est une escroquerie. Ils se font passer pour des techniciens de Windows, affirmant qu'il y a un souci, et cherchent à obtenir l'accès à votre ordinateur. Ne cédez surtout pas à cette demande, car cela pourrait engendrer de graves ennuis. Évitez-les à tout prix !

I've had several missed calls from this number, so I finally picked up today. It turned out to be a quite insistent lady with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. She presumed I was sat at my computer-little did she know, I wasn't! When I mentioned I didn't own one, she seemed to take offence and quickly disconnected the call. Definitely dodgy!

On Easter Monday, I found myself getting these enigmatic calls bright and early. Whenever I see that number, I just cut the line without uttering a word.

Yet, truth be told, I’m at a loss as to how to put an end to this incessant nuisance.

This morning, I received a call from this number. I toyed with him a bit, following his prompts until I eventually snapped and told him to shove off. I could see through his little game and I wasn't having any of it. At one point, he even suggested I should do something very inappropriate with my computer, accompanied by some strange bird reference. Ah, delightful tech support, isn't it? I can’t help but ponder how long this particular number will remain operational. It’s astounding how brazenly these VOIP systems seem to allow such nonsense to persist without consequence.

Il serait grandement souhaitable que Swisscom prenne enfin des mesures concernant ses centres d'appels. À mon avis, il semble que l'entreprise profite plutôt de la situation sans lever le petit doigt. J’ai répertorié plus de quarante centres d’appels qui dérangent sans arrêt les utilisateurs.

I've had six missed calls from this number today alone while I was at the office, and it’s becoming increasingly irritating. Most days, it's around three or four calls, which is frankly exhausting! Like some others have mentioned, the calls come in at the crack of dawn, which is quite unsettling - it makes me worry that something may be amiss with my family. I've tried being blunt, hanging up, and even having heated exchanges with the callers, but nothing seems to deter them. I'm thinking of telling them I don't own a computer, just to see how they react, although I suspect they'll just persist with the calling.

We've had these persistent callers since December 2014. It's a bunch of clueless chaps claiming to be from Microsoft, insisting there's an issue with our computer. We've since added them to our blocked numbers list on our Caller ID phone, yet they just keep trying! Since January, they've attempted to reach us 14 times, but thankfully, our blocking feature handles it seamlessly-no ring on either end. You'd think they would catch on eventually that we're not inclined to pick up!

If you find this number bothersome, why not turn the tables? The next time they begin to yap away, simply set your phone down or stick it in a drawer for a good thirty minutes. Since you haven't ended the call, it messes with their system, and there's a chance they might end up footing the bill for their own call! Quite the cheeky strategy, isn’t it? Cheers, JB

When I inquired who was on the line and the purpose of the call at such an early hour, the caller expressed regret for the untimeliness but insisted it was urgent, claiming my computer was infested with a Windows virus that could cause a crash at any moment. I informed her that I don’t own a computer, and she promptly ended the call. I must say, I’m quite keen for them to reach out again - I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve for them this time!

I've been receiving calls from this number that seems to have taken a liking to my 85-year-old relative, sometimes ringing multiple times throughout the day. Just today, while I was visiting, the phone rang again for the second time.

I had a bit of a palaver with someone who claimed he could sort out my computer issues. Playing along for the ride, I pretended to cooperate. He kept going on about whether my computer was turned on. It wasn't, but I went along with it and said it was. Then he instructed me to press the Windows key and 'R' simultaneously, followed by typing 'EVE'. When he asked what I could see on my screen, I cheekily replied, “You tell me what I should be seeing, and I'll let you know if I can spot it.” He rattled off a few things, like expecting me to see a blinking cursor in some weird web viewer and a white box labeled 'Help' on the left. Sadly, his accent made it tough to understand much of what he was rambling on about. At that point, he must have realised his little scheme wasn’t working, as he suddenly told me to “f*** off.” What a delightful conman, eh? Quite the amusing encounter!

What a bunch of deceitful, lowdown charlatans!

I've had two calls from this number today, and each time I picked up, there was just silence before the line cut off. It's quite peculiar since my number is ex-directory and has been with the Telephone Preference Service for nearly a decade! Such a hassle... 😕

They claimed to be calling from Microsoft, but after about five minutes of chatting, I mentioned that I'm using a Mac.

I’ve been receiving as many as ten silent calls from this number daily. It's becoming quite bothersome!

On the 23rd and 24th of January 2015, I received three phone calls. One of them I picked up, while another was just silence, and the last one I missed altogether. During the call I answered, they were going on about a computer virus issue, which I managed to sort out. When I asked them who they were, they refused to tell me. I mentioned that my number is on the Telephone Preference Service list, yet I’m still getting these annoying calls.

Could someone please put an end to this?

I received a rather dodgy call from someone overseas, claiming there was an issue with my computer. They weren't too pleased when I branded them as scammers!

I received a call from someone, a woman with an Asian accent, who claimed she could help repair my computer!

It's the same old "Microsoft Support" nonsense that rings me up every week - twice already today! Always from different numbers and the accent is unmistakably foreign. When I mentioned that I don't own a computer, the chap had the audacity to claim he would deliver one to my doorstep within the hour. When I pressed him on his location, he casually replied 'California'. I couldn't help but chuckle and warned him he'd need a rather speedy jet to cover 3000 miles in no time at all!

I had a rather peculiar phone call today at half-past three in the afternoon on 7th January 2015. A chap claimed to be ringing from Microsoft, alleging they’d received notifications about some issues I was having with my personal computer. When I inquired as to which machine he meant, he simply responded it was the one I used at home, not for work-related tasks. I mentioned I owned several, to which he queried if I was on my computer at that moment. I replied in the negative, and he insisted that since I had multiple devices connected to the same internet, I should log onto any of them for him to demonstrate this so-called report. Feeling a bit suspicious, I asked if there was a number I could ring back, as it struck me as rather odd that 'Microsoft' would reach out directly. He began to relay a number starting with 020325, so I politely declined and ended the call.

Received a call at half eleven on the 6th of January, 2015, but nobody answered when I picked up. Just another automated dialler trying its luck, it seems. I've heard murmurings that there are more scammers out there these days.

Received a call purporting to be from 'Windows'-I promptly informed them that I had a relic of an old carbon monoxide detector on hand, promptly marking their number as JUNK on my mobile.

I had a rather amusing exchange with someone who rang me up, inquiring if I owned a Windows PC. They droned on for a while, only for me to chime in and mention that I’d traced their IP address. I could practically feel the panic radiating through the phone when I hinted at a Denial of Service attack. The poor soul nearly begged me to end the call!

Absolute crooks, I tell you!

Had a little chat with my nine-year-old about firing up the laptop. When I wandered downstairs, she handed me the phone. On the other end, they were purporting to be from 'Windows Support'. I found it quite odd that they’d ask a child to boot up the laptop, so I pressed for some clarification. Unsurprisingly, they promptly ended the call!
