Based on 7 community reports, phone number 800-677-1839 is associated with a tech support scam operation. Multiple reports identify this as a Microsoft tech support scam run by individuals claiming to be from India, specifically mentioning operations in New Delhi. The scammers appear to be impersonating legitimate Microsoft support representatives to gain access to victims' computers or extract payments for unnecessary services.
According to the reports, the operation appears to be small-scale, with one report describing it as "only a one person operation." One detailed report claims the scammers are connected to Real Time Cloud Services with offices in New Delhi, India, and front companies operating in New York and New Jersey to obtain 800 numbers and VoIP services. The reports suggest the scammers can be rude when confronted and have been known to play music when they realize they're being pranked by scam baiters.
The reports span recent activity with multiple confirmations that the number remains active. Several reports encourage others to call the number repeatedly to waste the scammers' time, indicating this is a known number within scam-baiting communities. One report mentions a website (brothertech.us) potentially associated with the operation.
If you receive calls from this number claiming to be Microsoft or tech support, hang up immediately. Legitimate tech companies do not make unsolicited calls about computer problems. Never give remote access to your computer or provide payment information to unsolicited callers. If you need tech support, contact companies directly through their official websites or phone numbers.
