This number showed up on my phone just now but I didn’t get to answer. I've noticed before I get calls from numbers that look a lot like this one.

I received a call today about a parcel that's meant to be arriving for me. When I inquired about the delivery service handling it, they abruptly disconnected the call. Almost instantaneously, they rang me back and questioned me as to why I had supposedly hung up. I replied, “I didn’t hang up; you did!” I proceeded to ask once more who was responsible for the delivery, and lo and behold, they hung up once more. It's quite amusing, really, as I’m actually expecting a delivery today!

I've had a bunch of calls claiming to be from Microsoft. The first couple of times, I told them straight off that I was onto their game trying to get my personal info, and they just ended the call. The third time, I switched it up a bit. I said I was outside in the garden and joked that if there really was someone messing with my PC, then surely they could sort it out remotely. He said he needed my okay first, so I told him "But you said there's already an issue, so you must already be in my computer anyway, so get it fixed from your side!" That’s when he hung up! Made me chuckle!

Some bloke called saying he was from Microsoft tech support in Victoria Street, London, but his Indian accent was really thick and hard to understand. When I asked him a few times to prove who he was, he just snapped back with "oh f*** off". Proper rude!

Today I got a call from someone claiming to work for Microsoft, but I told him I've never even used a Windows PC. After that, he started talking in a weird robot voice, saying random things, then just dropped the call.

Some bloke claiming to be John from Microsoft rang me up, saying my PC was blasting viruses all over the internet and only he could fix it! He sounded dead surprised and kept me chatting for ages, about 20 minutes or more, trying to get me to do all sorts of daft and risky things, like downloading remote access software. In the end, he lost his temper, cursed at me calling me a liar (bit rich if you ask me) and warned I'd meet a nasty end like "all evil people". Proper joke!

This morning I got a call from that number and it was a scam for sure. An American bloke was on the line, but I just cut him off cause I didn't want to deal with all his rubbish. Right after, there was a knock at my door, it was the police!

I got a phone call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft. I made it clear I wasn’t going to let them get onto my laptop. The bloke then tried to say something about a virus in my “pic”, but then he started on about helping with a “virus in your pussy” or something daft like that. I just ended the call. He phoned again and got all shouty, telling me to “just switch your computer on now”. I told him again that no way was that happening. Then he said something just as disgusting about taking my knickers off so he could sort the virus in my pussy. Honestly, it’s shocking stuff. Why isn’t there a way to block these creeps for good?

Had a rather dodgy call earlier, purportedly from Microsoft, with a noticeable foreign accent. When I asked them to hold for a tick, I simply left the line hanging to rack up my phone bill. Clearly a scam call, if ever I heard one!

Whenever im unsure about a number calling me, i just get a cheap call blocker. Its saved me loads, i can stop calls right away whilst they’re still talking, and they have no idea they’ve been blocked. They keep ringing but cos the blocker stops my phone from ringing, I just dont answer. The blocker also keeps a record of when and who called, which is pretty handy. Its peace of mind cos they never figure out why I dont pick up anymore.

I got a call from some bloke with an American accent who said he was from Microsoft. Never had a call from them before, so it seemed dodgy to me, especially with all the scam stories going around. I told him to buzz off straight away. Definately adding this number to my blocked list.

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming she was with Microsoft. She told me I didn’t have a computer, then just hung up. I’ve had more calls like that since, so now I just ignore any unknown numbers and don’t bother answering. Better to be safe and check first.

Somebody rang me up saying they were from Microsoft's tech support. They mentioned my PC was supposedly sending error messages and wanted to check a few things out. Thing is, my computer’s Microsoft registration is linked to an old address. I played along for a bit, then asked a few pointed questions. Right after that the fake office sounds in the background just stopped, and the bloke ended the call.

I just got a call from this number, with someone saying they were from Microsoft. They claimed my PC was full of errors and some nasty files that could let hackers get in. A woman with an Asian accent told me to switch my computer on, and she’d guide me through fixing it. I asked how I could be sure it was really Microsoft calling, and she kept saying if I turned it on, she’d give me a code as proof. I told her I was busy and couldn’t do it then, but she insisted she’d call again the next day because it was urgent!

I received a phone call on the 26th of July, 2016, around 2 PM. An Asian-sounding gentleman, based in Germany, contacted me, asserting he was from Microsoft and that their server had supposedly flagged some issues with my computer. I immediately recognised it as a scam and told him to shove off. He attempted to dispute my claim, but I promptly hung up on him.

I received a call today from someone who identified themselves as Bibi, supposedly from Microsoft Technical Support, with a noticeable Asian accent. I found it quite odd that a technical support line would be contacting me from Germany, given the country code 0049. When I inquired about this curious situation, he abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious!

Got a call from some bloke claiming there was a Windows issue and he needed to get into my PC. I told him straight up it was dodgy, a scam for sure. Then he started going on about how it’s all payback because their ancestors got robbed 200 years ago by invaders who came back loaded while leaving them broke. After that rant about karma, he just hung up on me!

I received a call earlier today from someone claiming there was a problem with my Windows operating system. The thing is, I don’t even have Windows at home. When I explained this, he insisted it was unbelievable and started hurling insults at me, calling me a foolish idiot. I couldn't help but laugh at his absurdity, which seemed to infuriate him even more-he resorted to some rather offensive remarks. The whole situation just made me chuckle even more! :)

I've had this number ring me repeatedly. At last, I managed to speak to someone. A chap named Michael claimed to be from Microsoft’s tech support. I told him, “I’m all sorted, no issues on my end, cheers, goodbye!” and promptly disconnected.

Day in, day out. It's just a quiet ring that goes unanswered. I've lodged a complaint with OfCom here in the UK.
