These calls represent a classic tech support scam, where fraudsters impersonate Microsoft to frighten users into believing their computer is infected or locked by ransomware. The persistent bleeping or warnings are tactics to create urgency and panic, prompting calls to this number for fake fixes that often involve remote access or payments. Evidence from multiple reports confirms no legitimate connection to Microsoft or antivirus firms like McAfee. Hang up immediately if you receive such calls—never share personal details or allow remote access. To protect yourself, use official support channels only, run scans with trusted antivirus software, and report to Action Fraud. Keeping software updated also helps prevent falling for these ploys.

A number (0808 531 0895) kept beeping, claiming my computer was locked and citing a Microsoft message; I shut it down and later investigated who had called.
They pretended to be from the Microsoft Help Centre and tried to persuade me to install antivirus software.
Supposed Microsoft support called, claiming my IP had been accessed and my PC infected, demanding £150 to fix it. I'm still unsure if it was legit, and I never called them back.
