The phone rang, and when I picked up, it was just dead air. Then, out of nowhere, a robotic voice wished me farewell! I suspect it might be connected to a call I received the day prior, where someone pretending to be from the BT tech support was rather curt when I probed further. Quite the strange experience!

Is it just me or are these numbers impossible to block? Got called three times already this week, total scam attempts. So annoying!

To start off, grab yourself a proper referee whistle and have it handy next to your phone. When that pesky call comes in, pick up the phone and as soon as the caller opens their mouth to drone on, blast the whistle directly into the mouthpiece. Just give it a second of your time, then hang up. It's a rather effective method, wouldn't you agree? An old-school fix for a modern nuisance!

I received a call on my work phone from someone with an incredibly courteous Indian accent. They kept addressing me as "ma'am" and attempted to gain access to my computer. I decided to play along for a bit, just to stretch out his time, before eventually expressing my true feelings about the whole thing. I absolutely detest these sorts of calls, especially knowing that there are folks out there who might fall for such tricks.

Just had a call from these guys. I mentioned I was looking to get some windows fixed, they’re 20mm double glazed panes, one with a bit of a curved top, so I said they’d probably have to take a pattern for it. Asked for a quote but they didn’t really seem bothered to go against my usual local glazier, who does a great job and charges fair prices.

Received four calls from this number today, but no one bothers to pick up. It's rather frustrating, particularly as I'm knee-deep in a mountain of work at the moment. Every time the phone rings, I have to go through the nuisance of getting undressed to take the call. I was under the impression that the Telephone Preference Service had my back. Clearly, that's not the case!

Somebody said they were from Microsoft tech support or something, but I didn’t bother with them and ended the call straight away.

Got a call from 003525338, some bloke with an American accent saying he was from Microsoft. Heard that he had a Welsh name or something, which was quite a change from the usual Asian-sounding scammers pestering us at work lately. Seems like these callers pick names that don’t sound totally out of place, probably so they don't get caught straight away. I told him straight up he wasn’t from Microsoft and hung up on him. Next time, I reckon I’ll mess about with them a bit after reading some clever ideas on how to keep these creeps entertained.

Got a call from a woman with a strong asian accent, background was pretty loud like an office or something. She kept saying she needed to talk to me about my computer. I just hung up and looked the number up on google. That’s how I ended up on this site with loads of similar reviews. Looks like I dodged some kind of scam, which is a relief!

Got a call from an Indian woman claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer had loads of errors. I told her I actually use Unix, and after a bit of silence, she asked me again, "Unix?" I repeated it, but she clearly had no clue what I meant. She started humming to herself and chatting with someone nearby before just hanging up. Pure scam, no doubt. Looks like they ain't familiar with Unix, so that’s a handy excuse to use! This was the second call I’ve had from them - let’s hope that’s the last.

Those pesky scammers are at it again! Just cut off their calls and don't let them fool you into sharing any details. Most importantly, steer clear of letting them onto your computer. Stay safe!

I received a call from an Asian gentleman claiming to be from Windows, insisting that my computer was under attack and he could assist me if I switched it on. I politely mentioned that I’d need to return his call after an engagement I had scheduled. This seemed to irk him quite a bit, leading him to assert that this was a limited-time offer. I simply replied ‘No, thank you’ and ended the call.

I've had one of those so-called "Microsoft" calls but just ignored it. They try to get you to let them control your computer from afar. Once they do, they'll basically lock you out by scrambling everything, then hassle you for money over and over to supposedly restore access. Trust me, you'll end up losing all your files in the end.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to represent "Microsoft Technical Support." They said my computer had caught a virus after my last internet session. I replied, "That’s a bit concerning." They then asked me what was showing on my screen. I told them it was just a black screen with a C:> prompt. They told me to press the "Windows Key," but I had to ask what that even was. I explained I was actually running DOS version 5.0. Then I asked for their phone number so I could call back, but they just hung up. I managed to grab their number using 1471.

I got a call from some woman with a foreign accent claiming she was from Microsoft about my PC. I asked her how she even knew I owned a computer and where she got my number from, especially since I’m unlisted and signed up with the TPS. She sounded like she was just reading lines and honestly, most of what she said didn’t make any sense. I asked straight up if it was a scam and if she was after financial info. She actually admitted it was. So I told her to jog on and hung up.

Received a call last week from someone speaking an Asian tongue, and I couldn't grasp a word of it! Then today, a lady with an American accent rang me up claiming to represent Windows. She insisted my computer was reporting a hacking issue and that they required access to sort it out. I firmly told her I was not interested and hung up the phone. My landline is ex-directory, I’ve got it blocked, and I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, plus I have McAfee protecting my internet. How on earth do these individuals manage to get hold of our home telephone numbers? 20/07/2016

So this bloke from India called me up saying there was a virus on my computer. I asked him how much he wanted for fixing it, but he just kept quiet. I kept asking him again and again, and eventually he lost his cool, told me to bugger off and go to hell. I threw a few cheeky words back at him and hung up. Honestly, I thought it was hilarious, couldn't stop laughing!

I got a call from 003525338 the other day. They said they were from Microsoft and claimed my IP address had been compromised. Total scam, don’t trust them! I even rang Microsoft myself afterwards just to double-check, and they confirmed it wasn’t them at all. Best advice is just hang up straight away if you get a call like that.

I received a call earlier from a chap claiming to be with a computer repair service, and he sounded rather dubious. He informed me that my computer was in jeopardy due to a slew of recent vulnerabilities! Naturally, he offered to fix it for me, but insisted I turn it on first (red flags everywhere). I pointed out that it's already powered up; shouldn't that be apparent to him? When I probed him about whether he was affiliated with MSN, he replied in the affirmative, although that was not what he initially suggested. So, I asked him to tell me my name to see if he really knew what he was on about. Predictably, he got it wrong. It was quite clear - this fellow was nothing but a common scam artist.

Got calls at the office three times in one week from someone about my “home” computer. I told him a few times that this is a business, not a house. He then insisted I pass him onto the business owner, claiming it was urgent regarding our microsoft system. Total nonsense. His English was pretty poor too. When I said no, he got quite rude and just hung up.

I got a couple of calls from someone claiming to be Microsoft. As soon as I told them I’m ex-directory and don’t want any calls like this, they acted like they didn’t catch that and kept going on. Then, things got heated, and they started being quite rude and shouty. I went ex-directory precisely to stop this nonsense. Honestly, these people should be stopped by law.
