Somebody rang me saying they were from Microsoft. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.

Was busy at the hospital so I didn't pick up. They didn’t leave any message either.

This number 00496### kept calling me, claiming it was Microsoft and that my computer was hacked. It sounded a bit dodgy so I just didn't pick up and kept ignoring the calls. Seemed fishy from the start.

I had a ring from a number starting with 00496, some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft. He kept rambling about my computer being messed up. After listening for a bit, I told him straight up he was on the scam. The names he threw at me were proper rude!

Got a call from 00496### which is meant to be Frankfurt, Germany. I don’t know anyone there or have any links to that place.

I usually don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know, but I reckon this was probably some kind of scam or dodgy telemarketer.

Got a call from people pretending to be BT Openreach saying there was an urgent problem with my internet & that hackers were stealing info. Total nonsense really. They didn’t even bother hiding their number properly, showed up as 00496### yet said they were calling from the UK 🤯 Such a dodgy scam!

Got a call from someone saying I owed Sky for my broadband, but I just hung up. If it was legit, they’d have tried again for sure. Don’t fall for this, it’s definitely a scam.

This number has called me multiple times a day, like about 3 times daily, and I don’t recognise it since I only know people in the GCC. I wanna report it please. You can reach me at [email protected]. I’m in Bahrain. Thanks!
