10 yearsThis number rang me three times. Each time, someone with a thick Asian accent called, giving names like Paul, Aiden and Lisa. They all said they were from Microsoft’s tech support and said my computer had issues. I told them my computer was fine, but the woman who said her name was Lisa got rude and told me to shut up before she just ended the call.PaulAidenLisaMicrosoft10 yearsI'm quite familiar with these sorts of scams and normally mess around with the callers for a good hour. But this time, I didn't have the chance. A woman rang claiming she was from the Windows Technical Department and asked if I was the owner of a Windows PC. I said yes, even though I actually use a Mac. She seemed a bit off and after I responded, she just said "Sorry?" and ended the call! Honestly, these scams are getting really tiresome. I do feel bad for people who end up getting caught out by them.Windows Technical Department10 yearsFor five days straight, this number rang me at the exact same time every day. The person on the other end had terrible English. By the fifth time, I just lost it and told them to get lost or I’d report them to the cops.10 yearsI got nothing but silence when I answered.10 yearsGot a call from 0018154428278 the other day. Some bloke with an Indian accent said my PC was hacked and offered to help me fix it. Seemed dodgy to me.10 yearsGot a call from a woman named Lisa, speaking with a strong Indian accent, saying she was from Microsoft out in California. I told her I was registered with the TPS and she just cut the call straight away!LisaMicrosoftCaliforniaTelephone Preference Service10 yearsThese lot keep ringing about Windows, they're from India or somewhere. My missus accidentally had a quick chat with them a few days ago, now we’ve had like half a dozen calls after that. Just ignoring every single one of them...India10 yearsGot a call from this number at 9.12 in the morning. They last rang me about 2 weeks ago. I saw all the comments before and decided not to pick up this time. But honestly, next time I’ll answer and see how long they keep me on the line before cutting off.10 yearsAround 9.40 pm tonight, I got a call from a man with an Indian accent claiming there was an issue with my computer. I just stayed silent and eventually he gave up and ended the call. I’ve had loads of these scam calls before, and sometimes the callers get pretty rude when you don’t do what they say. It worries me because older people might easily fall for this and get into trouble.10 yearsSome bloke said he was from Microsoft but when I asked him some fairly obvious tech stuff and called out the scam, he just ended up shouting abuse at me.Microsoft10 yearsHad a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft. I told them I was on the TPS list and that they were not allowed to call me. He tried to say I had an issue with my PC but I just told him I don’t even use Microsoft products, so that’s not possible.MicrosoftTelephone Preference ServiceMadam10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be "Microsoft" - I knew straight away it was a scam, just wanted to let people know.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft. If you’re up for it, mess around with them a bit, but please don’t share any details or follow any instructions involving your PC. Stay safe!Microsoft10 yearsGot two calls in as many days from this same number. Some bloke from India pretending he’s with Microsoft, saying my computer might be hacked or something. Told him to jog on quickly enough.Microsoft10 yearsThis number has rang me 4 times today. The first caller claimed to be from a Windows help desk and said something about my computer. Then they asked if I had a computer, I said no, and they just ended the call. Later, someone else called me with the same story. The last 2 calls we just ignored and hung up straight away.NO10 yearsSo today I got a call from some bloke who claimed he was calling from America, but his accent totally sounded Indian. I asked him how I could be sure he wasn't some kind of hacker messing about. Then he passed me to his 'supervisor,' who also spoke with the same Indian accent. This guy started threatening to block my computer if I didn’t do what he said. I told him if I ever had an issue, I’d just get in touch with Microsoft on my own, but he said that wouldn't do any good. We went back and forth for a good ten minutes before he just told me to f##k off. What a cheek!AmericaMicrosoft10 yearsA bloke claiming to be from Microsoft called me a few days back, saying there was an issue with my PC. I just told him to get lost. And guess what? He rang again the very next day!Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from 0018154428278 claiming to be 'Microsoft'. They wanted me to run some software on my PC - total nonsense. Didn’t fall for it and hung up. This is the second time they’ve rung me in just a couple of days. Best to just block and ignore!Microsoft10 yearsWatch out, this is definitely a scam! They say they're from Microsoft tech support and tell you your computer's got viruses. Don't fall for it! Microsoft doesn’t ever ring you up out of the blue like that!!Microsoft10 yearsI didn’t pick up cause the number was unfamiliar, and the 00 at the start made me think it must be from abroad. So I just let it ring out.10 yearsHad a ring earlier from a bloke speaking with a strong Indian accent, claiming he was from Microsoft's tech support. I just laughed and told him to jog on, that I knew he was only after hacking into my PC and making a mess of things. The conversation cut off straight away. Afterwards, I used the 1471 service to grab the number he called from.Microsoft10 yearsYeah, like Microsoft would ever actually ring regular people at home... seriously, use your commonsense! A couple of mates of mine got the same dodgy calls, so it’s clear loads of folks are getting hit by this scam all over the place, yet no one seems to be cracking down on it anywhere. I wasn’t bothered though, I’d literally just been shifting Microsoft Flight Simulator onto a fresh drive… funny coincidence! The minute the bloke said he was “calling from Microsoft”, I told him straight up I’d give him a good hiding if I caught him, and told him in no uncertain terms to jog on.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call with no number showing up. Pretty weird!10 yearsI got totally fooled, especially since my laptop was acting up with some Microsoft software problem. They really threw me off balance. The scammers managed to clean out my account and even got a loan in my name. Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong before the call ended and quickly contacted my bank. But can you believe it? They had the cheek to ring me again a few days after!Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from 001 815 442 8278, some bloke said he was from "Microsoft in California" and claimed my laptop was sending warning signals about a virus. I told him my laptop wasn’t even on, but he kept pushing and said I should turn it on so he could have a look, or he could call back later if I was busy. I just said everything was fine and ended the call. He never asked me for any proof or details, and was rushing way too much for it to be real. There was loads of shouting and noise in the background too. Totally felt like a scam.MicrosoftCalifornia10 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, a bloke named "David" said there was some issue with my computer. I said straight away I knew it was a scam, but he kept going on for ages, even arguing that I was wrong. I told him to jog on a few times, but he stayed on the phone, trying to convince me to hand over info and let him get onto my PC. Eventually, he gave up and hung up when I mentioned we only use Apple Macs here, nothing Microsoft. Don’t share any info with these lot, it’s definitely dodgy!MicrosoftDavidApple10 yearsOn the 27th of May 2016 at about 3.43pm, they rang once more but I chose not to pick up.10 yearsHad a bloke ring me saying he was from Microsoft. I recognised the scam cos I'd got a call like that before, so I told him straight off he was taking me for a mug - no way was I wasting my time. Never share any details with these lot and make it clear Microsoft doesn’t call folks like that. Last time, when they couldn’t trick me, they got real nasty and started slagging off my family. These scumbags are a waste of time but somehow they keep getting away with it.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from a bloke named David who claimed he was from Microsoft. He told my husband our computer was showing signs of a virus. My husband chatted with him for a bit but said I wasn’t in. What’s weird is how he managed to get hold of our number since we’re ex-directory. I’ll be waiting to see if he tries ringing us later today.DavidMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from 001 815 442 8278, some bloke named ‘David’ saying he was from ‘Microsoft’. He claimed my computer had issues and offered to sort them out. It’s the usual rubbish about hackers or whatever scam to scare you. These people just want your money for fake repairs. Microsoft wouldn’t just ring up strangers about made-up problems. The guy had no clue who I was and I didn’t share any info. Be careful, don’t hand over any details or let random callers tinker with your PC.DavidMicrosoft10 yearsI got a call from 001 815 442 8278, which seems like it could be from Tonica, Illinois. The 815 area code covers parts of Illinois including La Salle and Tonica. This number looks to be a landline. The phone carrier listed is Tonica Telephone Co, and the country code is +1 for the US. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is wondering where this call might be coming from.TonicaIllinoisLa Salle CountyUSATonica Telephone Company10 yearsDodgy scammers from India posing as Microsoft reps, I reckon. I made it my mission to waste as much of his time as I could, then informed his manager I'd contacted the police.IndiaMicrosoft10 yearsCan anyone tell me to whom the phone number mentioned above belongs?10 yearsIt’s a bit of a ruse to persuade you into firing up your computer, isn't it?10 yearsJust hang up right away and give it no further thought!Submit Your Own Report ((815) 442-8278)
