Kept getting calls from this number, claiming my Microsoft Windows was infected with a virus. I just ignored them and eventually blocked the number.

Oh my god, these so-called Windows support people are a joke! They claimed my computer had a virus, but I told them I don’t even have a Windows machine. Total rubbish, don’t fall for it! It’s clearly a scam, stay well away!

Got a call on 06/01/2017 from a guy with an Asian accent claiming there was a virus on my Windows computer. He said he was from Microsoft and guided me through some steps, eventually taking control of my PC remotely. After a bit of fiddling, he assured me everything was sorted and the price was £57, which seemed way less than what my neighbour pays for similar help.

I received a call regarding an issue with my Windows machine, but when I informed them that I actually use a Mac, they abruptly disconnected. Quite absurd, really!

Got a call from the same number that had been ringing our office for a couple of days. Could tell it was one of those Microsoft scams straight away. Today I picked up and said, “Hello, this is Cheshire Police, how can I assist you?” The person on the other end just swore and hung up instantly. Fingers crossed they’ve got the hint now!

This morning, 6th January 2017 around 9.57am, a chap named Victor Williams rang me claiming to be from the Windows Security Team based in London, supposedly linked to Microsoft. He went on about some problems with my computer sending out data from local servers or something. Honestly, 'Victor' sounded like he was just reading off a script, and pretty badly at that.

I received a call from someone claiming there was an issue with my Windows system. When I mentioned that I use Linux on both of my computers, the line suddenly went silent. Quite the coincidence, wouldn’t you say?

Got a silent call from this number. Usually it’s some scammer’s automated system trying to see if someone’s there before calling for real, or maybe it’s just a faulty scam set-up. No chance to mess with them this time, but I’ll be ready to waste their time when they ring again.

Got a call from a man with an Asian accent, warning me about some unusual activity on my Windows account. Could be legit, but that’s where he lost me. Bloody scammers, don’t waste your time - just hang up immediately.

So this number called me, and the guy on the other end had a really strong foreign accent straight away sayin there was something wrong with my Windows PC. Classic scam stuff: the phone rings, you pick up, there's no one talking at first, just loads of noise like a call centre in the background, then they suddenly start chatting once they know you’re there.

Just got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft saying my computer's got a virus or something. I told them I wasn't interested and ended the call right away. Honestly, wouldn't it be helpful if Microsoft put out a global warning that their tech support folks never ring people out of the blue? I guess there might be some expense for Microsoft to do that, but you'd think they'd want to protect the people who use their software, right? Guess I'll just wait for the next time they bother me...

Got a call from this number earlier today. Spoke to an Asian bloke who said he was from Windows. I wasn’t buying it and asked, “No, seriously, who do you work for? How much does it cost to have you poke around my computer? And where do I send the payment?” He claimed it was free. So I said, “Alright then, hold on while I connect you to the person who handles this,” and put him on hold. Came back 10 minutes later and he’d already hung up. Bit cheeky, honestly! Still feels good knowing I probably stopped a few others from getting scammed.

If someone rings asking for the person who owns the Windows PC, just say they’re not here and you’re the cleaner instead - they usually hang up pretty quickly!

Been getting calls for months now from some bloke saying he’s from "Windows technical support" - a total scam as everyone says it is. How come these obvious fraudsters aren’t just blocked or chased down? What are the police even doing about this? It’s getting ridiculous!

It was one of those phishing calls. I just hung up straight away.

I missed the call so didn’t answer but when I dialled 1471 back it showed this number. Just a short while ago I got a call from a different number (01235 650005) and it was the same as what others have said - an Asian man talking about issues with my computer. The strange thing is I’m ex-directory and have been signed up with TPS for ages, which usually blocks most cold calls, but clearly not this time.

Got a call on the 8th of December in Brighton. The bloke said there was some issue with my Windows, like computer stuff. I cracked a joke saying windows always need a good wipe down. He then tried to say he could ‘clean’ the Windows if I gave him remote access. Told him you usually need a ladder and some soap for that kind of cleaning. He didn’t take that well and ended the call.

Got a call from some Asian guy claiming to be from Windows Tech Support. I asked if he was with Microsoft, and he paused before saying yes. I told him it sounded doubtful and suggested he take a look at his payslip to be certain. Then he just ended the call.

Got a call from these lot saying my computer was throwing up errors. I mentioned it was a business number, and then the bloke started asking if he could come round and stand behind me, making some really creepy, sexual comments. Luckily, I'm not easily freaked out and can look after myself. Honestly, what a vile conversation.

I got a call from someone saying "Microsoft" but with a pretty strong Indian accent. Just a heads up for anyone thinking about calling TPS - they won't be able to do anything since TPS doesn’t cover calls from abroad.

I answered the call and stayed quiet for a bit. I could hear loads of chatter and phones ringing in the background, so it was pretty clear it was from some call centre. I finally said hello, got a hello back, and then the caller just hung up right away.

I just had a call from a guy named Jack who sounded Asian and was talking about some Windows computer issue. I told him we don’t have one - which isn’t true - and he hung up on me super fast! Seems like it was just some kind of scam.

Like all the others, this one had a really strong accent and there was loads of noise in the background. He said he was from 'windows technical support' and that there was a problem with my PC. Sometimes I mess about with these calls just to annoy them and kill time, but today I couldn’t be bothered giving more time to this pointless scammer. I asked how he even knew I owned a computer, and then he just dropped the call.

Somebody called saying they were from the Windows IT team. Since I’m doing remote work for a global IT firm, I asked which company they were with, but they just hung up on me. I went ahead and logged a ticket with our own internal helpdesk, and it turns out the call wasn’t from my company at all. Definitely sounds like a scam, so watch out!

Steer clear of this number! It’s a total scam, designed to fish for your banking information by claiming there’s a virus issue that requires payment. Don’t fall for it; it’s nothing but nonsense!

Got a call from someone with a strange accent on this number, saying there was something wrong with my Windows PC. I quickly mentioned I’m registered with the TPS and don’t want these calls, but he just shrugged it off with "doesn't matter!” I warned him I’d report the number if he didn’t remove me from his list. Instead of backing down, he told me he fancied a chat with me! Obviously, I just ended the call then and there!
