11 yearsI received a telephone call from this number as well. They specifically asked for my husband by name, but when I informed them I wasn’t him, the caller rather rudely told me to ‘sod off’ before abruptly hanging up. Quite the unfriendly exchange!11 yearsI truly encourage your father to take a look at his bank statements, especially if he participates in internet banking. Once anyone gets their hands on his computer, they can potentially access all sorts of information stored on it. That’s precisely what they’re after.11 yearsi was getting really overwhelmed with loads of calls. When i picked up i said, "hello, who is this and why are you ringing me?" The reply i got was, "why you b####rd, you that angry or what?" honestly, it's been a nightmare. i just want the nonsense to stop so i can start using my phone again without the stress!11 yearsHad a call from a really insistent Asian bloke who sounded pretty believable - I was so unsure that I told him to call back later when my daughter, who knows a lot about tech stuff, was around. He kept saying my computer would crash within 30 minutes if I didn't turn it on, and that Windows would blacklist me. There’s no way I’d fall for what he wanted me to do, but I can understand how others might get caught out. I looked up the number online afterwards and saw loads of warnings from others. At least now I feel totally sure about handling them next time.11 yearsThat happened to me earlier today. When I mentioned I'd be contacting the authorities, she just hung up the phone.11 yearsI keep receiving calls from this number despite being ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service. Each time they ring, they ask for me by name, claiming to be contacting me about my computer issues. I've declined to engage with them every time, but they just won't let up-calling me as early as 7 in the morning and as late as 10 at night. It feels like they’ve got a range of different numbers they use. What can I do to put an end to this nuisance?Telephone Preference Service11 yearsGot a call from a lady saying her name was Lucy with a strong Asian accent, claiming my computer was about to crash. I played along, pretending to switch on my PC. After a few minutes, I told her there was a message flashing on the screen. When she wanted me to read it out loud, I said it said “tell that dodgy cow to leave your phone alone”. She snapped back at me to buzz off and then hung up. Guess my computer’s still going to be broken then!Lucy11 yearsgot a call from a bloke with a male voice saying he was ringing from somewhere in london (didn’t catch the company name) telling me my computer was sending weird messages and if i didn’t fix it, it’d crash. he asked if my pc was on, but mine was just on standby so i shut it down and hung up.London11 yearsI told the bloke to remove me from their calling list, and he just went off on me, saying something like "sod off, you idiot" before slamming the phone down. It was shocking, especially since I was on speaker and others heard every word. Can't believe he spoke to me like that.11 yearsI work at Microsoft (hic) as an engineer. Honestly, I pity anyone who falls for these scammers, but for me, it’s a bit of a laugh. I keep telling them I’m deaf and ask them to repeat themselves loud and clear. Strange as it sounds, they usually get pretty annoyed!Microsoft11 yearsNever share any details with these callers! Microsoft does not call you out of the blue. They’re just trying to get into your computer. This actually happened to my dad recently. Honestly, it’s crazy how they aren’t bothered by what they’re doing.Microsoft11 yearsA gentleman contacted my father, claiming to represent Microsoft, and insisted there was an issue with his computer related to Windows 10. Given that my father had only recently upgraded to this operating system, he found it plausible! To cut a long story short, he ended up firing up his computer and following the instructions given by this so-called 'technician,' entering various details as directed. He was alarmingly informed that his PC had over 3000 faults, and a hefty fee was needed to rectify the situation. When my father expressed his inability to pay, the caller threatened to freeze his computer. It appears they have indeed carried out that threat, as he can no longer access any programs or connect to the web.Microsoft11 yearsMy dad got a call from a bloke claiming to be from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with his Windows 10 computer. Since he’d just upgraded to Windows 10, he believed it might be legit. Anyway, he ended up switching on his PC and entering some codes the so-called ‘tech support’ guy told him to. They said his computer had more than 3000 errors and that he’d have to pay to get them fixed. When he said he couldn’t afford it, they warned they’d freeze his computer. Now, it looks like they actually did because he can’t open any apps or access the internet at all.Microsoft11 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be a ‘Microsoft tech’, but I couldn’t be bothered to keep them hanging around. Hats off to that person who kept them on the line for 57 minutes though! Quite the patience.Microsoft11 yearsSome bloke was telling me that a Microsoft tech had been ringin' since 9 this mornin', tryin' to sort some updates on my PC. Asked if I were sat at my computer then. Sounds like the typical scam to me.Microsoft11 yearsReceived a call from this number earlier, but when I declined to switch on my computer, the bloke on the other end started quite rudely telling me to bugger off over and over. Quite a shock, really!Submit Your Own Report (1052744840)
