11 yearsFor about 4 or 5 years now, I've been getting calls from someone saying she's Shirley, from Microsoft. The lady's English is really poor and the numbers all seem to be from overseas. It’s just another one that’s going straight on the blocked list.ShirleyMicrosoft11 yearsThis number keeps popping up every once in a while. When it rung last time, I told the caller I was a Mac user and so couldn't have any problems with a Microsoft computer. The bloke on the other end got all tangled up and kept repeating the same two words for what felt like ages, maybe a couple minutes. I found that quite funny, so I just ended the call.11 yearsSome bloke called from India, never told me his name, just said something about my Windows 7 being infected with a virus (which is daft cos I haven’t even switched my laptop on for ages). Then he asked me to log into their server so they could have a “look” for the virus on my files. I told him straight up it’s got to be a scam, and he just started swearing at me over the phone. Proper rude!India11 yearsI missed a couple of calls from this number. The first one had a voicemail, but it was weird - loads of background noise and then someone started humming softly. Really strange.11 yearsOn the 10th of July, I got a call from someone called "Shelley" claiming to be from "Windows Computer Centre". Honestly, do they reckon we’re that daft? Such nonsense!ShelleyWindowsComputer Centre11 yearsGot a call from that number claiming to be Microsoft. When I called him out for lying (literally said "you're fibbing!"), he started swearing at me and shouted "f*** off." So yeah, not just a liar but also a right rude bloke!Microsoft11 yearsI swear I heard heavy breathing and instantly thought it was some kind of prank call.11 yearsI got a call from this number and the person on the other end sounded like an Asian woman saying she was from the Microsoft Help Desk. I had a strong feeling it was a scam, but I listened for a bit anyway. She claimed my PC was sending error alerts and had picked up a virus. She told me to turn on my computer and do some diagnostics, but I told her there was nothing wrong. When she tried to say it again, I just ended the call. After that, I dialled 1471 and found out it was an international number.MicrosoftSupport Centre11 yearsI tried telling them I work for Microsoft and they just cut the call right away, total rip off.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking with an Indian accent who claimed she was from the Microsoft support centre. She told me my computer was infected with viruses and quickly began telling me how to restart it. When I mentioned I was on a Mac, she just ended the call right away.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from a supposed Microsoft support team, they told me to type in the "Assoc" command and then went on to say the last number was like my personal ID!!! Yeah right. Definitely a scam to sneak into your computer and swipe private data without asking. Watch out for these dodgy callers!Microsoft11 yearsGot a ring from this number, said it was from the Microsoft Service Centre. I asked them for some proof it was legit and they told me they could share my PC's CLS number - which they actually did! How on earth did they get that info? When I asked for a call-back number to verify them, they just refused, so I ended the call right there.MicrosoftService Centre11 yearsGot a call that annoyed me earlier, so I just hung up straight away.11 yearsGot calls from these annoying pricks three times today, told them to piss off every single time - honestly, felt heaps better after that.11 yearsThis number is a total scam, but you'd be surprised how many people might actually get caught out - otherwise, why would these muppets keep trying? I get calls from it maybe 3 or 4 times each month, but today they rang me twice! I usually mess about with them for a bit, acting like I’m some daft elderly bloke, then tell them I don’t even have a computer. That usually makes them hang up pretty sharpish. Tried reporting the number to Action Fraud, but couldn’t get anyone to pick up. Surely it can’t be that hard for the cops to trap these idiots and stop them, even if they’re abroad?Action Fraud11 yearsThis number has rung me up three times today alone, not to mention quite a few times before. The last call today was really odd - all I could hear was loads of chuckling and folks shouting "Indian chicken! Indian chicken!" What on earth am I supposed to make of that??11 yearsThis number called me three times today, first an Indian lady and then two Asian blokes. The first call I kinda messed around with, but by the third time I was proper annoyed. I handed the last call over to my daughter, and the woman suddenly got all flustered, asking why I was talking to her instead and to focus on her call. Honestly, it was pretty hilarious!Asia11 yearsGot a call from some folks in India pretending to be Microsoft, total scam. Watch out, they're just trying to con you.Microsoft11 yearsJust like others have said before, I called Microsoft about problems with my PC and the bloke quickly lost interest, barely giving me any attention before hanging up. I’ve gone ahead and reported it to the fraud department, though I’m not sure if it’ll make much difference.Microsoft11 yearsI ignored the call and only looked up the number after they hung up. These types never bother leaving a message on my voicemail, so I’m convinced it’s some sort of scam. What puzzles me is, if they’re actually stealing money, why isn’t the police taking action? What they’re doing has to be illegal, and even if they operate from abroad, the police should be able to get the phone companies to block those numbers right away. Just on this site, there’s a whole week’s worth of complaints about them.11 yearsThis number kept ringing me even though I’m on the TPS list and my number’s ex-directory. The bloke claimed my computer had a virus and offered to help fix it by guiding me through the steps. I said I was quite shocked as I supposedly worked for Microsoft and hadn’t heard a thing about it. He just ended the call there and then. (I don’t actually work for Microsoft, but it stopped them bothering me for a bit.)Telephone Preference ServiceMicrosoft11 yearsI’ve had calls from some numbers claiming to be from Microsoft, where they try to convince you to agree to paid repairs and updates. They’re basically using a sales tactic to get you hooked in.Microsoft11 yearsI reckon it’s definitely a scam. They seem to be ringing from somewhere in the Indian Sub-continent. Honestly, the TPS doesn’t do a thing to stop these dodgy calls.Telephone Preference Service11 yearsAbsolute rubbish from that caller, clearly a scammer from India. Honestly, just give it a rest and leave us alone.India11 yearsThis number has been ringing me off and on, but I never picked up until today. When I finally did, the person claimed to be from Microsoft, saying there was a security issue with my computer. I wasn't convinced at all and refused to share any personal details before hanging up. The lady on the line had an Eastern European accent. Funny enough, I actually haven’t had internet for a whole week now because BT still hasn’t sorted out my Infinity connection, which I’ve been struggling with since the 20th of May.MicrosoftBT11 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Microsoft saying my computer was in trouble. I asked them for the IP address of the machine, and they couldn’t provide it, which made me realize it was definitely a scam. From what I’ve read elsewhere, these scammers try to take control of your computer and then demand payment to unlock it. Totally dodgy.Microsoft11 yearsMy mum got a call earlier today from a lady who spoke with an Asian accent, saying she worked for Microsoft. She told mum there were loads of problems with her laptop and insisted on remotely logging in to fix it. As soon as I said I work in IT and would check out the computer myself, the caller just hung up on us.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Indian accent talking about Microsoft. I started saying I’m signed up with the Telephone Preference Service and shouldn’t be getting these calls, but before I could finish, he just cut me off. What a rude git.MicrosoftTelephone Preference Service11 yearsA young lady gave us a bell from this number earlier today. It was quite the same scenario; she went on chatting for a minute, only to reveal that we weren't in possession of a laptop!11 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent who started chatting about Microsoft and my computer. I told him I don’t even have a computer and he just hung up after that.Microsoft11 yearsI got a call on my landline, not my mobile, and all I could really make out was heavy breathing and some mumbling in an odd accent that I couldn’t place.Submit Your Own Report ((985) 853-0769)
