The calls may include silent responses or abusive language when challenged. It is strongly advised not to engage, avoid pressing any prompts, and never grant remote access. These calls are part of broader scams targeting computer users, typically intending to steal data or money. Treat any unsolicited tech support calls with caution and verify independently.

I got a call with a recorded voice saying it was from my internet company, warning that my connection would be cut off soon. They wanted me to press 1 to avoid this. Honestly, don’t press any buttons - it’s a scam! Definitely avoid it!

Earlier today, I received a phone call from a chap with an Asian accent who purporting to represent Windows. He started rambling on about some sort of misconfiguration and urged me to type in a code he mentioned - something like MISCONFIG - followed by a few other instructions. Thankfully, I didn’t oblige. This number has reached out to me previously, and I had chosen to ignore it, but today, my curiosity piqued. Once he sensed that I wasn't going to comply, he quickly disappeared from the line - at least for the moment.

Received a call today from someone claiming to be affiliated with a Microsoft-certified organisation, offering to repair my computer. Total scam, if you ask me.

I received a call from someone identifying himself as George, who insisted that I should turn on my computer so he could perform some modifications. When I questioned him about how he obtained my phone number, he abruptly hung up without answering.

I've received multiple calls from this number lately. The caller has an Asian accent and keeps insisting that I switch on my computer. Clearly, it’s a scam!

Got calls with no one speaking at odd hours. Think it might be a scammer from somewhere like India or Pakistan using some kind of auto-dialler.

Got a call from a guy named John, sounded Asian, claiming to be from Microsoft. Total scam alert.

Got hit up loads by some bloke pretending to be with Microsoft Windows, obviously a scam. He kept ringing back even though I never fell for it. Last time I just left him waiting on the line, gave him a taste of his own medicine.

Had a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my PC was infected with a nasty virus that needed sorting. I just told him to shove off and called him all sorts of names, then ended the call. Not sure if he said anything back, I just cut him off. Microsoft’s made tons of cash over the years, you’d think they’d do more to stop these scams. But then again, if your computer gets wrecked by a virus they supposedly fix, you’d have to buy a new one - that’s good business for them. Lucky for me, I don’t use Microsoft anyway!

Got a call from someone named "John" who said he was from Microsoft. He claimed there was an issue with my computer. When I said it wasn’t even switched on, he told me to just turn it on so he could fix a virus or something. I told him nicely to stop calling me and then hung up. Proper annoyance that was!

Got a call from some bloke with an Asian accent saying my PC was full of viruses. I told him that’s not true since I’m in IT and fix computers all the time. He just cut me off super quick after that. Pretty standard rubbish really.

Got a bloke from Asia on the line telling me I’ve got a virus. Had a laugh for about 20 minutes pretending to be all worried. Beats just sitting around bored! What a way to kill time.

Got a call from a man with an Asian accent who claimed there was an issue with my Windows. He offered to guide me through fixing it if I switched my PC on. I told him thanks heaps for being so worried and taking time out of his day, but that my own tech guy would have a look. Wished him all the best for whatever he’s doing next and then ended the call. I reckon being super polite but not letting them say more is the way to go. I’m actually starting to find these calls kinda amusing now.

Answered the call and they immediately hung up. What a pain!

I usually just let the phone go to voicemail cos no one ever says anything when they call. It's really annoying, especially since they sometimes ring at odd hours, like super early or really late. It makes me worry in case it’s something urgent with my family. Such a stress!

So this bloke claimed he was calling from Windows 10, right? When I told him straight up that it sounded like a total scam, he just laughed at me and then went on about me having mental health issues. Weird encounter, honestly.

I keep getting calls from this number and today I thought I'd play along (but really, I didn't). The bloke told me to put this into my search box - '[#]f##k-you[###]'. Then he just cut the call. It's not even one of those scams. Sounds like some bloke messing about with fake U.S. numbers just to annoy people. Absolute muppets.

I've been receiving incessant calls from this number claiming to be Microsoft, insisting there's an issue with my computer. The truth is, there's absolutely nothing wrong with my device. I tend to just hang up on them. However, yesterday, I firmly requested that they cease calling me, and they promptly disconnected the line. The voices I hear are generally of Asian descent, and they can be either male or female. The background din definitely gives away that it’s a call centre atmosphere.

What a pain! I keep telling them that my computer engineer sorts all my tech stuff out, but they just don’t back off. I hang up, and then they ring me up three times all in the same morning, even though I already said I don’t want to chat. Proper annoying!

Just got another call from someone pretending there's a problem with my computer (Windows). Sounds like one of those typical scams, trying to get me to let them in or pay for fake help. Doesn't matter how many times I say no, they keep calling back! Pretty annoying when they keep making false claims about my PC.

Strangely enough, we encountered the exact same situation earlier today. We mentioned that we didn’t fully understand since we hadn’t had access to a computer, and then-poof!-the call was cut off!
