9898216962 Summary (Read all comments)

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.

So this bloke called me, said his name was David and claimed he was ringing about our Microsoft PC. I just told him we don't deal with cold calls, then ended the call quick. Honestly, I'm really sick of getting these dodgy scam calls all the time.

I put this number on block a few weeks back, so when they call now, it just gives that no service noise. Still, I keep seeing loads of missed calls from them every single day on my phone.

So, this bloke called me claiming his name was David, with a strong Indian accent, saying my iMac was full of 'thousands' of viruses. He urged me to turn it on so he could fix it before it completely broke down. He was really pushy and didn't take kindly to me saying no and that I was hanging up. He even called again, but I cut him off straight away. Watch out for these dodgy scammers, they’re not to be trusted!

I got a call while in Switzerland from a woman speaking English with an Indian accent. She started by asking if I was using Windows, and when I said yes, she claimed there was a serious threat of trojans and viruses according to some report they'd just received. I told her I wasn’t buying it, which made her pretty irate. I pointed out a couple of things: one, my antivirus software is excellent and hasn’t flagged anything; two, if they really knew about a problem, why would they need to ask what operating system I use? And three, she never even bothered to say who she was. I ended the call, but she rang back straight away, shouting down the line. I told her she should consider getting a new job because I wasn’t falling for the scam. Then I hung up and blocked the number.

Beware, they keep ringing me up every single day here in Switzerland claiming to be Microsoft. They say there’s some security problem with my computer and ask me to enter a code they provide. Thing is, we don’t use Windows at all, all our devices are Macs. Totally a scam!

Yesterday someone called asking for a woman, and today a bloke rang up. Both were Indian and had really thick accents. I told them to stop calling because it’s obviously a scam. Maybe it’s best to just say you don’t understand English at all.

Diese Nummer sagt mir gar nichts und ist richtig komisch. Ich versteh gar nicht, warum Swisscom die noch nicht gesperrt hat, das muss denen doch schon lange aufgefallen sein. Aber wenn es ums Geld machen geht, drücken die halt gern ein Auge zu und tun so, als würden sie nicht hören - wahrscheinlich denken die, das beruhigt sie oder so. Wir müssen uns weiter mit denen rumschlagen. Ich glaub, ich hol mir jetzt eine Trillerpfeife, damit ich wenigstens was dagegen tun kann.

I'm based in Switzerland and this number has been blowing my phone up nearly every morning for about two weeks now, always around 9 to 9.30. I actually answered once, and the bloke claimed he was from Microsoft, telling me my PC had serious virus alerts that needed urgent attention. He wanted me to log into my machine to fix it. When I asked where he was calling from, he said London, UK - oddly enough, the number had a US area code! After I stopped replying, he just hung up. Still, the calls keep coming daily. Can anyone tell me what they’re after and how I can make it stop?

Been ringing my mum’s phone quite a few times. When I picked up today, some woman with an Indian accent claimed to be from Microsoft. She insisted I was on my computer, which I definitely wasn’t. Then she went on about how I must own a computer, but I told her I don’t, so couldn’t see what she was going on about. She got pretty rude and just cut me off. Total scam!

Got a call from him earlier today. I played along at first, doing what he said just to see where it’d go. Then I just hit pause and told him off, said I knew exactly what scam he was running and there’s no way I’m falling for it. He shot back with some rude remarks about my computer and even mentioned some birds, of all things. Tech support? More like tech nonsense. :) I seriously can’t believe how long this number’s still active, it’s so pointless. Feels mad how these VOIP scams just keep on going without any consequences.

Franchement, Swisscom devrait vraiment intervenir face à tous ces centres d'appel. J’ai presque l’impression qu’ils profitent de la situation sans lever le petit doigt. Là où je vis, y’a au moins 40 centres qui harcèlent les gens non stop, c’est épuisant.

This morning, Saturday 14th March, I got a call from an Indian bloke claiming to be from Microsoft’s security team. He said my computer was infected with some nasty software picked up online. When I asked how he connected my phone number and name to these computer issues, he said it was because I supposedly registered my software with Microsoft and gave them those details. He was clearly reading off a script and really wanted me to switch on my computer so he could "show" me the problems and help fix them. It was such an obvious scam that I just told him my computer was fine and ended the call. Watch out, he’s pretty convincing and won’t give up easily, so don’t fall for it!

I’ve been pretty blunt, hanging up on them and even argued once, but it doesn’t seem to stop them. Thinking of telling them I don’t own a computer just to see if that shuts them up, but I reckon they’ll just keep pestering. Seriously, what’s the best way to actually deal with this??

Some woman with a strong Indian accent rang me up and tried to get me to switch my computer on so she could “fix” whatever problem she claimed it had. When I told her straight up that it sounded like a scam from an Indian call centre, she got really rude and started shouting at me because she knew her plan wasn’t going to work and I wasn’t about to let a random stranger take over my PC. Honestly, her aggressive reaction just confirms that it was definitely a con. Just a heads up if you see this number pop up on your phone.

Since December 2014, these idiots keep calling us. It's some annoying lot from India claiming they're from Microsoft with some computer issue. We've had to block their numbers using our phone's caller ID, but they don't seem to stop! They've rung us about 14 times just since January, but thanks to the block, the phone doesn’t even ring on our end. You'd have thought by now they'd figure nobody's picking up. Must be proper clueless.

A man called claiming to be from Microsoft support, saying that my computer was rejecting Windows updates and that I was at risk of viruses next time I went online. I immediately knew it was a scam because Microsoft never calls users directly, so I just ended the call. Almost right away, the phone rang again. This time the caller said he was based in India, working on a support team, insisting he wasn’t trying to sell anything, just following up on error reports from their servers to help people fix the problem. I let him talk for a bit and then said I wasn’t near my PC and could he just tell me where to check. He said it was too complicated and promised to call back later. I bluntly told him not to bother since I knew it was dodgy. Just a heads up, this person keeps ringing and could seem pretty convincing to some. If he calls again, I’m thinking of telling him the call is being recorded to see how he reacts. This all happened around 10:45am on Saturday 28th February.

If this number keeps bugging you, here’s a cheeky tip to turn the tables. When they ring and start yapping, just leave the phone down or chuck it in a cupboard for like 30 minutes without hanging up. This way, you’re not ending the call but making their system jam up, and they might even get stung with call charges! Worth a go, right? JB

This number keeps ringing my 85 year old family member, sometimes more than once every day. I happened to be with them today when it rang again.

I was trying to sort out my laptop, so I played along with the caller. He kept asking if my computer was turned on. It wasn’t, but I said it was. Then he told me to press the Windows key plus the letter "R". Next, he wanted me to type "EVE." When he asked what I was seeing on the screen, I cheekily said, “You tell me what I should be seeing, and I’ll confirm.” He went on about a blinking cursor and some white box on the left side that said Help, but his thick Indian accent made it hard to catch much. Eventually, realising he couldn’t take control, he got annoyed and abruptly told me to “f*** off.” Proper scammer behaviour, honestly! Haha.

This number rang me recently with a bloke named John on the line. He wanted to know if I was near my computer, to which I replied ‘No’. Then he asked me to switch it on, but I said I’d already done that and we waited for it to load while I kept whistling to show I was still around. After some silence, he asked if the computer had started yet. I said no, maybe it was slow or had a virus. John then asked if it was an abacus! I laughed and said no, if it was that, viruses wouldn’t be a problem but maybe woodworm would! He then asked how long it usually takes; I said about half an hour. John nearly shouted ‘Half an hour? It must be an abacus! I’ll ring back later.’ I told him I ‘couldn’t wait’. When he calls again, I reckon I’ll keep him hanging about some more. Just before he gives up and tells me to hang up, I’ll throw in that I’m on an Apple Mac, just to wind him up a bit. ;-)

These guys call non-stop all the time, just ignore and don't share any details with them - total scammers!

They ring me every single day, sometimes twice a day. I've told them I'm on the TPS list but it does nothing to stop them. Now I just try to keep them talking for as long as I can, wasting their time. It's a bit of fun seeing how long I can keep them on the line before they realise my number is from a MAC. Such dishonest, cheating scammers!

Received a couple of calls today from this number, but each time I picked up, there was just silence before they hung up. It's an ex-directory number too, and I've had it on the TPS list for nearly a decade... really annoying! :(

They claimed to be from Microsoft, but I just told them straight up after a few minutes that I use a Mac.

Got three calls back on 23 and 24 Jan 2015. I picked up one but the person on the line just went quiet, the other I couldn’t get to. When I did answer, it was some lot trying to sell me a fix for virus issues on my computer. They never said who they were, even after I told them my number’s on the TPS list but still these calls kept coming. Pretty annoying really.

Some foreign scammers ringing up, saying my computer had issues. Didn’t go down well when I told them to buzz off and called them scammers.

Got a call again from "Microsoft Support", they ring me nearly every week and today I got two calls from different numbers. The bloke always has a noticeable foreign accent, and when I told him I don’t even own a computer, he said he’d send one over. He claimed he’d be at my doorstep in an hour, but when I asked where he was calling from, he said California. I told him he must have a bloody fast plane, ‘cause that’s thousands of miles away!

This number keeps calling me throughout the day, like 5 times daily and at the weirdest hours. Definitely some kind of scam.

Got a call around 3:30 PM EST on 7th Jan 2015 from someone claiming to be with Microsoft. They said there’d been issues reported with my personal computer updates. I asked which device they meant since I’ve got a few. They said the one I use for personal stuff, not work. I mentioned I still wasn’t clear which one, and they then asked if I was on my PC right now. I said no, and they went on about how since multiple devices are on the same internet, I could log into any of them for them to show some report. I asked if I could ring them back later at a number because it all sounded a bit dodgy. They began telling me an 020 number but I just said no cheers and ended the call.

Called this number at around half 11 on the 6th of Jan 2015 but nobody answered. Tried again with an auto dial, just hoping for a bit of luck. Judging by the reviews, seems like there’s more scammers going around these days.

Got a call from someone saying they were with 'Windows' - I just played an old recording of my Carbon Monoxide alarm at them. Now their number's blocked and marked as junk on my phone.

They started off asking if I owned a Windows PC, so I just played along for a while. After a bit, I went on to say I’d tracked their IP and warned them about a DOS attack coming their way. The lady suddenly freaked out and begged me to end the call.

My phone rang and a person told my 9-year-old to turn on the laptop, which sounded odd so I came down. They said they were from Windows support, but when I asked if they really were and pointed out they just told my kid to switch on the laptop, they just cut the call.
