So this guy kept going on and on, I mean ages, but I just said I couldn’t catch what he was going on about. Then he slowed down and explained again (something about malware - that bit made sense). I told him I doubted it, mate. Next thing, he just ended the call. Top-notch professionalism, eh?

I just got a call from some bloke claiming my PC has a virus. I told him my computer's not even connected to the internet at the moment. Asked him how he could possibly know that then. He tried saying it was over the past couple weeks. I told him mine's been offline for longer than that, so there's no way he could see any virus. And then, suddenly, the line just cut off!

This number rang me twice within the past month, saying they're from Windows and that my computer's about to crash soon. Each time I told them to send me the info by email, but they just ended the call straight away!

Got a call from some dodgy Egyptian number, these muppets claimed they were with Microsoft out of Brooklyn?? Absolute tossers tried to "social hack" me by wanting my PC info. Reported it to Ofcom straight away, what an idiot move!

This is definitely a scam, just tell them to shove off and make sure you report them to Ofcom.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent who wanted me to let her access my computer. Pretty sure it’s a scam designed to steal your personal info and cash. They really ought to shut these scammers down.

Got a call from some bloke named 'Peter' claiming to be from 'Windows,' but I could hear him laughing and yapping away like he was in some dodgy call centre in Calcutta. Honestly, he’s got zero chance trying to scam anyone with that act. Even my six-year-old could’ve done a better con. Mate, best you stick to delivering takeaway - you’ll probably earn more in tips and less hassle.

Got a call from this number today, 10th of May. I answered with a few hellos but all I got was quiet, then suddenly a weird beep, some strange noise, and then they just ended the call. Weird experience.

Somebody claimed to be from Windows tech support. I told them I don't even use a Windows PC, so they just ended the call straight away.

Got calls from this number two times over the past couple of days. From now on, I'm just not gonna pick up if I don't know who it is.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming there was some issue with my Windows. He said he was a Microsoft partner and tried to guide me through some steps. When he told me to press a key next to the Fn key, I had to tell him I use a Mac, which obviously doesn’t have one. That’s when he lost it and shouted, “oh, you’re on an Apple Mac you c***.” The whole thing sounded like a shoddy call centre job, very unprofessional. I just kept him on the line for ages, figured the longer they waste on me, the fewer people they can scam today. Total SCAM.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be with Windows support, but I don’t even use Windows! Figured it might be a laugh to mess about with him. As soon as he saw I wasn’t handing over any card details, he just dropped it quick sharp. Bit of a letdown, really - you’d think they’d stick around a bit longer to try their luck. Not much persistence from these scammers, eh?

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise so I looked it up on Google. Turns out loads of people have flagged it as a harassing and potentially dangerous caller. Definitely watch out for this one!

Earlier today, my phone went off with a call from 002086412961, and let me tell you, it sounded as though I was chatting with a sewage pipe!

Got a call from some bloke claiming he was calling from Windows. He said my PC was sending dangerous files to their servers and would soon crash, meaning I wouldn't be able to use it anymore. The guy didn't even know my name or what kind of computer I owned. I kept it civil and told him where he could stick it! (002 0864 12961)

Hung up on me right after saying something about Windows, didn’t really catch what they wanted.

Got a call from a guy speaking with an Indian accent who sounded like he was just reading off a script. He claimed to be from Windows (not Microsoft, which is the proper company) and warned me about some malicious activity coming from my computer, saying it might crash if I didn’t fix it soon. Sounds exactly like what others have mentioned before. I reckon it was a scam trying to get into my PC and cause trouble. Actually, I got the same sort of call a few weeks back with the same scare story. Luckily, my computer’s fine and still running without any issues!

I picked up the phone and could hear some office sounds in the background, but noone said anything after i said hello a few times. Then they just ended the call. Quite strange really.

Got a call from this number from a lady speaking with an Indian accent. She started going on about my Windows computer having a virus or some nonsense. I played along for a bit, then told her I don’t even have a Windows PC. She then branded me a liar and I just ended the call after she insisted I did have one. Proper telemarketer scam.

Sick of these annoying calls, sounds like they're from some Indian call centre. They keep saying my computer is sending dodgy traffic or something? If you get calls like this, just tell them your computer's a Commodore 64 with CP/M - problem is the dial-up’s coming in super slow lately! Bet their IT guys won’t know what to make of that.

Got a ring from this number, I mentioned I use a Mac but they just ignored it. Then they linked me to their tech team. After a bit, they claimed they’d gotten into my photos and were putting them online - proper threatening stuff!

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft Windows. The moment we asked for their identification, they abruptly ended the call! Quite suspicious, if you ask me!
