10 yearssome bloke from India rings up sayin’ my pc’s got a virus or some kinda malware. usually i drag it out to keep him busy so he can’t scam anyone else at the same time. but today, honestly, i was just too fed up and ended the call straight away.India10 yearssome bloke claiming to be from the windows tech support called me today. i told him he ought to be embarrassed messing about trying to scam folks, and he just hung up. usually i play along and ask them to wait while i 'fire up the generator' to keep the computer running. guess i wasn’t in the mood this time.10 yearsSome bloke calling from India claimed he was with the “Windows support team” but it was obvious a rip-off. He ended the call saying "great, thanks for calling!" and then just dropped the line. I could tell it wasnt legit.Windows Tech Support10 yearsI played along for a while before finally asking them how they even sleep at night, trying to scam folks like that. Haven't had a call from them since.10 yearsSome scammer called, told him to shove it.10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from a “windows service centre.” I could hardly catch what he was saying but played along for a bit. Eventually, I called him out as a scammer and a fraud. He grumbled something back, maybe some insult, then promptly ended the call.10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be “windows computer” saying there was an issue with my PC - immediately sussed it was a scam since I run linux. Gave them a piece of my mind and quickly ended the call.10 yearsI kept saying hello a few times but nothing at first, then after a bit of silence a woman just said goodbye and then ended the call.10 yearssome bloke called, wanted to chat with the last person living here, named him straight away. said he was with some ‘windows tech’ team and that I’d been sending them error messages. i told him i use linux, no windows here. asked why his lot would be getting info from my machine. also mentioned he had the wrong number and name. he just ended the call after that.Windows TechnicalMicrosoft10 yearsi usually just ignore calls from numbers i dont recognise but i always look them up afterwards, most of the time they turn out to be scams. it’s crazy how little the government seems to be doing about stopping these dodgy calls. i personally get calls from different area codes probably 3 times daily!10 yearsi got a call from someone saying they were ‘windows’ and that there was an issue with my PC. turns out, it was just a scam to try and take over my computer, probably to steal private info. microsoft owns windows and they’d never ring you out of the blue like this. as soon as i told the caller off for lying, they hung up straight away. seriously, don’t let these scammers anywhere near your computer, it’s risky and could lead to them getting hold of your personal data.Microsoft10 yearsjust got a call from someone barely speaking english, claiming there’s an issue with my computer. honestly, I’m fed up with these sort of calls (no swearing here). I did tell him off, though. why isnt the government cracking down more on these scammy calls? I can’t even block this number coz my block list is full, and I didn’t even have this number before december 2015! it’s so frustrating.10 yearsi keep getting annoying calls almost every day, sometimes 4 or 5 times! i’m retired and seriously fed up with it all. does anyone know an easy way to stop these calls from coming through? it’s driving me mad.11 yearssome woman rang me saying she was from windows and needed me to turn on my PC and laptop to sort out a virus she said they spotted. i ended up hanging up after a few minutes of that rubbish, then she rang back twice more. really irritating, obviously a scammer.11 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from Windows tech support. When I said I didn't even own a computer, they just shut off the line straight away.11 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to be a Microsoft representative, but I suspect they're up to no good - seems like a typical scam. The accent was distinctly Asian, which raised my suspicions further.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report ((517) 555-0142)
