7 yearsThis 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.9 yearsI 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!10 yearsI've received several phone calls lately, with the caller claiming to be from Microsoft. The first two times, I immediately told the caller that I knew they were trying to get personal information from me and they hung up. But on the third call, I decided to handle it differently. I pretended to be in the garden and suggested that if the caller was aware of someone trying to access my computer, they should fix it from their end. The caller then explained that they needed my permission to do so. I responded by saying, "But you just informed me there's a problem, which means you must have already accessed my computer, so go ahead and fix it from your end." Well, unsurprisingly, the caller hung up! It was quite amusing!Microsoft10 yearsThe individual claiming to be from the Microsoft Technical Department, located on Victoria Street in London, had a pronounced Indian accent. When I repeatedly requested him to confirm and authenticate his identity, he responded with an offensive remark, saying, "Go away."Microsoft Technical DepartmentVictoria StreetLondon10 yearsEarlier today, I received a phone call from an individual claiming to be a representative from Microsoft. However, I promptly informed them that I did not possess a Windows computer. Surprisingly, the person on the line then pretended to be a robot and delivered some phrases in a robotic tone, before abruptly ending the call.Microsoft10 yearsI received a telephone call just now, and the person on the other end greeted me as 'madam'. However, they said something that I couldn't comprehend. When I inquired about their identity, they abruptly ended the call.10 yearsSome 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!JohnMicrosoft10 yearsWe have received two phone calls from someone who remains silent and hangs up almost immediately after.10 yearsThis 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!10 yearsI recently received a phone call claiming to be from Microsoft. Upon hearing this, I immediately informed the caller that I would not allow them to access my computer. To my shock and dismay, he proceeded to make inappropriate comments. He stated that there was a virus on my computer and said, "Allow me to assist you with the virus in your personal files." Feeling uncomfortable, I promptly ended the conversation. However, the caller persisted and called me back, speaking louder this time, demanding that I turn on my computer. I firmly reiterated that I would not comply with his request. Undeterred, he responded by saying, "Alright then, remove your undergarments so that I can fix the virus in your personal files." This disturbing encounter left me wondering; why can't we report these incidents to prevent them from happening in the future?Microsoft10 yearsgot a call from someone asking if we own a computer then they just started being really annoying and harassing me out of nowhere.10 yearsI quickly ended the phone call.10 yearsGot a call that was definitely a scam, so I just blocked the number straight away.10 yearsHad 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!Microsoft10 yearsWhenever 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.10 yearsI 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.Microsoft10 yearsUnwanted silent call. I received a call, but the person on the other end abruptly hung up without saying anything.10 yearsGot 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.Microsoft10 yearsI received a call on my landline, and upon answering, I could hear some noise in the background. However, the caller hung up immediately after I picked up the phone.10 yearsDo not respond to calls from this number as it is a fraudulent scam.10 yearsAn individual claiming to be from the Microsoft technical department contacted me. They informed me that my computer was transmitting error reports and requested to discuss some matters. However, being aware that my PC is registered under a previous address with Microsoft, I decided to entertain their proposal for a while. Eventually, I questioned their legitimacy, at which point the background office noise abruptly ceased and they ended the call.Microsoft10 yearsScam Alert: Individual posing as Debbie in Asian Voice. Attention everyone, a scam artist pretending to be Debbie is attempting to deceive people through Asian Voice. This is a serious matter and requires immediate attention. Please be cautious and disregard any communication from this imposter claiming to be Debbie. Stay safe and report any suspicious activity promptly.Scam AlertDebbieAsian Voice10 yearsI recently had a phone call from someone who claimed to be from Microsoft. They told me that my computer was facing issues and downloading harmful files that could make it accessible to anyone. The person on the call, who happened to be an Asian woman, insisted that I switch on my computer so she could guide me through the steps to fix the problem. To confirm whether this call was genuinely from Microsoft, I queried the caller about how I could verify their authenticity. Yet, she simply repeated her previous request, assuring me that by turning on my computer, she would provide a code as proof of her affiliation with Microsoft. Realizing I didn't have the time at that moment, I explained this to her. She expressed the urgency of the matter and promised to call back tomorrow.Microsoft10 yearsDuring the call, he was making inappropriate and disturbing comments in a hushed tone. It was truly dreadful. Please refrain from answering this call as it is most unpleasant.10 yearsI 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.GermanyMicrosoft10 yearsSome woman with a really thick Indian accent kept insisting I owned a computer. When I told her I didn’t, she got really pushy. I said I just use a tablet (which wasn’t true) and then she just ended the call.10 yearsThe individual who rang asserted that they were representing Microsoft. Upon hearing that I do not utilise any Microsoft products, they promptly terminated the call.Microsoft10 yearsI 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!Microsoft Technical SupportGermany10 yearsI received a call purportedly from Bibi, who claimed to be a representative from Microsoft Technical Support. It's worth mentioning that the caller had an Asian accent. However, I was puzzled as to why someone from Microsoft Technical Support would contact me from Germany (country code 0049). Strangely enough, the caller abruptly ended the call without offering any explanation.BibiMicrosoft Technical SupportGermany10 yearsI received a phone call from someone claiming to fix a Windows issue on my computer. Suspicious of their intentions, I promptly identified it as a scam. I informed the caller of my realization, which immediately provoked an angry response from them. They began a spirited tirade, suggesting that they engage in fraudulent activities as a result of historical injustices carried out by our ancestors. According to their argument, these past wrongdoings resulted in their present circumstances of being impoverished while others prospered. After venting their frustrations, the caller abruptly ended the call.10 yearsI 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! :)10 yearsI just got a phone call from someone who claimed to be from Windows. They requested me to enter a code into my computer. When I questioned them about it, they became unpleasant and aggressive. It seems highly unlikely that Windows would engage in such activities. Could this be another scam?10 yearsFraudulent Microsoft tech support call... Just hang up!Microsoft10 yearsA person identifying themselves as a member of the Windows technical support team called to report a problem with my computer. However, when I questioned their legitimacy and stated that it seemed like a scam, they abruptly ended the call.10 yearsIt is a scam when someone claims to be from Windows Technical Support; the caller is attempting to deceive you.10 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, informing me that my computer was displaying an error. Not being certain if this call was legitimate or potentially a hacker, I politely declined their assistance and ended the call.Microsoft10 yearsI'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.MichaelMicrosoft10 yearsI answered the phone only to have them disconnect immediately. It had the vibe of a call centre, what with all the background chatter I could make out.10 yearsI've received multiple calls from the number 0049197848, claiming to represent Microsoft. However, they always seem to hang up before I can get any real information. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!Microsoft10 yearsgot a call from a guy with an indian accent claiming he was from microsoft, saying my computer had some kind of malware or something. i told him flat out he was talking nonsense and not from microsoft, but he just kept going and wouldnt listen. in the end, i had no choice but to block his number just to stop the nonsense.Microsoft10 yearsDay in, day out.
