Users are advised not to engage, block the number, and consider reporting to authorities or their phone provider to mitigate ongoing harassment.

10 yearsIt was just some robot voice saying "bye" nothing else.10 yearsWhen I called, all I got was a pre-recorded response saying goodbye-really frustrating!10 yearsgot a call from a lady who sounded asian sayin my computer has serious issues and was gettin malware. i listened a bit then said i was with the tps and asked her not to call me out of the blue. then i just ended the call.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsCan’t believe there’s no way to stop these crooks. Seriously, BT, get your act together!!BT10 yearsHonestly, BT should really get their act together and deal with these scammers. They obviously know which numbers (like 0016608835582) are being used for these calls, so why can't they just block them straight away? It's so frustrating!BT10 yearsTypical scam call (I’m in IT) - They want you to put a Trojan on your PC. I just acted clueless and pretended to do what they said. Ended up keeping them on the line for 22 minutes, and we had a right laugh about it back at work :)10 yearsGot a call earlier with just an automated voice hanging up straight away. Seems like they're testing when you pick up. Just got another one, ignored it again. Definitely AVOID and chuck it on your block list.10 yearsThey rang me up at 8am sharp. I just told them to piss off as loudly as possible, usually I’d say worse but let it slide this time.10 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy named Michael, said there was an issue with my computer. I told him I don't even own one (which wasn't true!), he went silent for a moment then just said 'Oh'. I didn't wait around, I just hung up. The same number called me again today, but I wasn’t home.Michael10 yearsAvoid picking up this number. Total SCAM and FRAUD!10 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent called "Alan" saying I’d downloaded viruses and that Microsoft had flagged it! When I said I use a Macbook, he just shouted some rude words at me!AlanMicrosoft10 yearsThis morning, someone called me claiming to be 'Alex Roberts' with an Asian accent, saying my computer was really messed up. I’m aware of these scams, so I said we have a few computers, so which one did he mean? He told me to log into any, so I said I had done that and asked what I could see. I replied I saw an apple, and he got a bit annoyed, saying no, on Windows! I said I could see actual trees through my windows instead. Before hanging up, he surprisingly said, "Ma'am, you’re a bastard!" in a very polite way!Alex Roberts10 yearsThey just rang me, I played along for a while but ended up losing my cool and called him some names I wouldn’t wanna write here. Told him to find proper work and stop nicking cash off folks. If they try again, just keep them chatting for ages. Drain their time and cash. I’m pretty sure they’re based in the US. If loads of people did this, it might get too expensive for them to keep at it.America10 yearsSome bloke claimed his name was Michael Lewis (clearly not true) and said he worked for a firm called PC Export. He started with the typical nonsense about my PC having issues. I called him out as a scammer, and then he got nasty.Michael LewisPC Export10 yearsBe cautious, as there seems to be attempts to acquire bank card information.10 years0016608835582 same story, woman maybe Asian / "there's an issue with your computer..." I just hung up straight away and now thinking about buying a really noisy whistle. Don't say I can't!10 yearsThey phoned us for the first time today. We didn't pick up, and they never left a voicemail. Luckily, your website helped me figure out what it was about.10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming my computer had issues, which is rubbish coz everything's fine on my end. They kept pushing like there was some problem, but it felt like a scam to me. Heads up guys! Best not to chat with these people, just say you're not interested and hang up quick.10 yearsAnyone who isn’t tech-savvy or who’s vulnerable could easily fall for this caller’s trick. We don’t even own a computer, yet they insisted it must be our laptop, which we don’t have - only tablets here! As soon as they saw they were getting nowhere, they hung up and moved on to someone else. If I get a chance, I’ll try to find out their real agenda! Best to just ignore this number altogether!10 yearsThis number has rung me about four times over the past week, even though I told Edward to stop calling. My husband just got really sick and I honestly couldn’t deal with this annoying pest right now.EDWARD10 yearsHad another call like this not long ago, before I used to mess about acting like I was checking my PC, but tonight I just lost my cool and said "don’t you lot ever quit? Now piss off and stop calling me back." Proper sick of these annoying calls ??10 yearsSomebody said they were from the 'Windows Tech Team' and that my computer was showing serious errors. I’m aware its a scam, so I usually try to waste their time and keep them busy, so they don’t bother others. When I asked how they supposedly saw the error messages, the bloke quickly got angry and started swearing at me. Out of the blue, he even admitted they were running a scam and laughed, saying the police wouldn’t catch them. Proper nasty people who really should be put to an end.Windows Support Team10 yearsannoying robocall, sounded like a woman trying to scam me10 yearsJust got a call from a guy named Edward, sounded Asian, said he was from Microsoft Windows and that my PC had issues. I told him straight up he was full of it, and he got a bit rude so I just ended the call.EdwardMicrosoft10 yearsSaid he was from Microsoft, played along for a while, asked him simple stuff he couldn’t answer. Proper scammer, definitely needs dealing with. When i said i knew he was trying to scam me, he started getting all angry and ended up calling me a "bastard".Microsoft10 yearsThe caller claimed to be James Andrew from a Windows Tech Dept, saying there’s an issue with my PC. When I asked where he was calling from, he said his office was in Kings Cross, London. I told him to just email me the details of the problem instead. That seemed to throw him off a bit. Then I asked what operating system my computer runs on, which really seemed to confuse him. I then implied he didn’t know what he was doing, which clearly annoyed him. He ended up calling me ‘a bastard’ and hung up.James AndrewWindows Technology UnitKings CrossLondon10 yearsJames Andrew has been calling me nonstop for the past three days, even left voicemails. Really pushy and rude, claiming there’s an issue with my computer’s firewall. He kept insisting the only way to fix it was for me to switch on my computer and he’d guide me through it. I asked him to send an email so I could sort it with BT properly, but he just kept saying "what’s the problem, woman!" I told him he was the actual problem. He argued about everything I said, even gave some long security number, supposedly his BT ID! I told him he’s a scammer and not to call me again!James AndrewBT10 yearsThis Asian James guy sure knows his stuff about PPI. When I told him to stop calling, he just told me to go #### myself.JamesPPI10 yearsA man with an Asian accent claiming to be from "windows" rang my nan. I calmly told him not to ring again as I knew it was some kind of scam. The bloke on the phone got really angry and nasty. I said I’d report him to the police for harassment. He then warned if I did, he’d keep calling. Within a minute and a half, he’d phoned my nan 17 times! I phoned the police and reported the whole thing. They told me to get in touch with BT and block the number. My poor nan’s now too frightened to pick up her phone. Proper awful people :(10 yearsThis dodgy scammer keeps ringing my old folks, lucky they’re out my reach or I’d give em a piece of my mind.10 yearsA guy with an Asian accent said he was ringing from Kings Cross, London. He didn’t know my name when I asked. He kept trying to tell me that someone was hacking my computer right now. He was quite pushy, telling me to switch on my computer, and when I kept questioning him, he got really annoyed. He even said stuff like “Oh my God woman, don’t you get that all computers run Windows?” The call ended with him calling me a 'bastard' and repeating “I will finger you day and night” loads of times before hanging up. Really glad I didn’t give in and turn on my computer.Kings CrossLondon10 yearsSo James rang me yesterday and again today, saying my PC was sending errors to Microsoft and he wanted to sort it out. Today he even threatened my missus saying if he didn't fix it, the computer would crash. Enough said.JamesMicrosoft10 yearsGot a silent call from this number again, thats twice today. All in all, three calls so far. Also, watch out for 01289403666 making rounds too.10 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy named James who told me there was something wrong with my computer, yeah right.James10 yearsI've been gettin loads of calls sayin my internet is bein monitored and my computer's got errors. It's clearly a scam, and it's really annoyin me after all these years gettin the same rubbish calls.10 yearsI think these scammers are ringing from a couple of different numbers. One of them is 001059462210. Over the last week or so, I've had daily calls from both of these. They pretend to be from BT and try to trick folks into thinking their computer's got problems or is being hacked. But really, they're the ones trying to get into your system and steal your personal info. Honestly, they need to be taken to court. If your phone shows who’s calling, I'd recommend not picking up if either of these numbers pop up.10 yearsI shouldn’t have picked up that call. Something felt off right away. The guy, sounded Asian, was really pushy and rude, then he just ended the call. Usually, if its just a wrong number or anything random, they’re not this harsh. Feels like a dodgy scam to me. Watch out people.10 yearsI keep getting calls almost every single day. When I tell them my computer is fine, they get really rude, and sometimes they'll ring me again two or three times after I've already hung up. There must be some way to stop this, surely.10 yearsKeeps ringing a couple times daily. Never leaves a voicemail. When I pick up, there’s nobody on the other end.10 yearsDodgy phone calls lately! I’ve found it’s best to just inform them that I don’t own a computer.10 yearsGot another call from the same person twice today, said he was from Windows and wanted to get into my PC. I told him straight up he was a con artist and cut the call. Then he rang back a bit later, still trying to convince me he was legit. Surely the US officials can do something to stop these scammers?10 yearsI got four calls from these scammers today. Two were silent, no sound at all. Then a lady said she was from BT and told me there was an issue with my computer. After that, a bloke said he was from Windows with the same story about my PC having problems.BT10 yearsCall went quiet then they just cut off.10 yearsGot calls from an Asian bloke named Alex Roberts a few times. I played along with him just for a laugh. After a while, he caught on and started getting proper aggressive.Alex Roberts10 yearsMy phone buzzed but all I got was total silence, no one talking or any noise in the back. Didn’t seem like a typical call centre at all.10 yearsCalled me but didn’t say anything or drop a voicemail.10 yearsLike the other reviews say, got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming my computer was messed up. I told him there was nothing wrong and just hung up on him.10 yearsTried calling but didn’t leave a voicemail.10 yearsJust got two calls from 0016608835582. The first caller sounded Asian and said there was an issue with my computer. When I asked which one, as we've got three running at home, he couldn't say. When I kept questioning him, he started getting a bit annoyed and kept saying there was a problem with "your computer." I rudely told him there was nothing wrong with any of my computers and that I’d report his number to the proper authorities. Then he rang back today but we weren’t home!10 yearsGot a call from someone saying my computer was infected and needed to get into it, total scam.10 yearsSome numpties reckon my laptop's got a virus. It hasn't. This con needs to be stopped already. A single exocet missile aimed at whoever's behind it would sort things out proper.10 yearsSome bloke named Kevin rang me up, said there was something wrong with my computer. I knew straight away it was a con. Surely the cops can track down that number somehow?Kevin10 yearsEarly on a Saturday morning, I hurried to answer the phone, worried about my family, but there was nobody there when I picked up.10 yearsCalled me but when I picked up there was no one there.10 yearsIt keeps calling over and over but never leaves a voicemail. Thankfully I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise, but it’s still really irritating!10 yearsThey claimed there was an issue with my PC. I’m not gonna share what I told them.10 yearsGot a call from 0016608835582, some Asian woman claiming there’s an issue with my computer. This scam has been going on for ages now, and I’m proper fed up. When I asked where she was calling from, she said 100 Victoria Street, Kings Cross, which is actually a Travelodge. Travelodge really should check who they're connected with. I’ve even put my number on a blocking list but it seems like it does nothing.Victoria StreetKings CrossTravel Lodge10 yearsSCAM alert! Got a call from an aggressive guy with an Asian accent saying there’s an issue with my PC. It’s really sad how some folks, especially those not so good with tech, might believe this and end up getting scammed thinking help is on the way.10 yearsHe rang my mum, who’s 90 and is starting to suffer from dementia, two times this week. Needless to say, he didn’t get very far with her!10 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying my PC was infected. I pretended to believe him and asked stuff like how he had my number but not my name. He then told me I was wasting his time and hanging up on me! These kinda calls happen to me nearly every day. I really worry about older or more vulnerable folks who might actually fall for this trick.10 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent who spoke awful English. As soon as he started talking about a problem with my computer, I told him to buzz off, not exactly kindly either. Even though I'm on the TPS list, I’ve learnt that it doesn’t block these automated calls at all. Honestly, TPS is pretty useless!Preference ServiceTPS10 yearsGot called by some guy 3 times today, all sounded like an Asian bloke saying my computer got hacked and they wanna help fix it. Pretty suspicious if you ask me.10 yearsWATCH OUT FOR THOSE NASTY SCAMMERS!WARNING10 yearsI had a similar experience - I got nothing but an automated “goodbye” with no one on the other end. It’s all a bit dodgy if you ask me, though I can’t quite pinpoint what the scam is, I’ve got a strong feeling it’s a con of some sort.10 yearsThey keep ringing me up, talking about security problems with some Windows computer I don’t even own.10 yearsGot a call again from this number. When I picked up, it was just a lady's voice on a recorded message saying 'Goodbye'. What’s the point of that? I get loads of annoying calls from this number even though I’m signed up with the TPS.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsSome bloke with awful English said his name was Alan! Like, yeah right! Claimed he was from Windows and my computer was messed up but he could fix it for me. I told him I don't even own a computer. After a long pause, he just hung up. Proper annoying having these calls all the time. I'm on the TPS list but they still manage to get through.AlanTPS10 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who said his name was 'David'. He told me there was something wrong with my computer. I decided to play along and said I'd just turned it on. Then I told him the screen showed a message saying, 'You’re a scammer, now piss off'. After that, I just ended the call. Proper fed up of these muppets ringing non-stop every single day.David10 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman who kept saying one of her tech guys needed to chat with me about harmful viruses on my laptop and that my Microsoft licence was nearly up. She said it was no problem, they could fix it if I paid a fee. Problem is, I don’t even own a laptop!Microsoft10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me over and over. Everytime they ask "How are you?" I reply with "I'd feel better if you just stopped with the scam calls" then hang up. I'm really sick of it - they call at all hours, sometimes even at 7 in the morning, waking me up.10 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy claiming to be from BT who said my internet was about to go down. Even after I told him I’m with TalkTalk, he just ignored it. He wasn’t bothered when I ended the call. In the end, I told him I hoped he had fleas in his crotch and then I hung up. Honestly, a bit fed up with it all now!BTTalkTalk10 yearsTotal tech scammer. I told him I was onto his game and suggested he find a proper job instead of trying to rip off old ladies. He definitely didn’t sound happy with that!10 yearsMy phone buzzed and no one said a word. Then the call just dropped. What a pain in the arse.10 yearsI received a call from someone with an American-Asian accent who began with, “regarding your computer…” I quickly interrupted, saying, “I’m well aware of this con - jog on, mate, I’m not falling for it!” He promptly hung up on me! I'd say that’s a win for me, score: one for me, zero for him!10 yearsI received a message claiming my computer was sending out error notifications, and then they attempted to deceive me into signing in. It’s clear as day, a blatant scam!10 yearsI received a rather unpleasant call from a man who had an Indian accent. He seemed to be going on about my computer. I ended up hanging up on him, but he called me back almost instantly.10 yearsI just ended the call as soon as the elderly lady passed the phone over to me.10 yearsGot a call about computer maintenance, sounded like a total scam.10 yearsThey ring me literally every day! I’ve tried being polite, getting angry, even telling them to buzz off. Nothing seems to work. How on earth do I get them to stop ringing my landline??10 yearsGot two calls today even though it's a Bank Holiday Monday. As usual, told them to **** off and then just left the phone off the receiver. Fingers crossed it messes with their system somehow for a bit.10 years0016608835582 Bank Holiday Monday again. These Indians were on the line claiming my computer had some issue. When I requested their contact number, the bloke just told me to f*** off. Totally not on.Bank HolidayIndia10 yearsI keep a whistle by the phone, use it as a bit of payback. These idiots haven't got a clue about the long weekend vibes here in the UK, seriously, it really got on my nerves.UK10 yearsTypical computer scam, claiming my machine was full of secret viruses and all, then told me to switch it on. I said, did he really think I was that daft? He just hung up after that.10 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from the Windows support team, supposedly from the States. They had me waiting while I was meant to be turning on my PC, but all I could hear were some Indian voices in the background. Bit fishy if you ask me.10 yearsIt ought to be read as 'shift' work, if I'm not mistaken.Submit Your Own Report ((660) 883-5582)
