9 yearsGot a call from someone saying my computer had problems. I told them I don’t own a computer and they just hung up straight away.10 yearsWoke up to a call from this number at around 7:40 am. It’s really cheeky to be making scam or cold calls that early in the morning. When I answered, it sounded like they were trying to get me to a “senior technical support” agent but then the call just got dropped. Bit dodgy if you ask me.10 yearsThe call came from this number trying to pitch some sort of computer protection deal against external threats. The person on the line had an Indian accent. I found it irritating since my phone should block these annoying calls, so I just ended the call.10 yearsI picked up the phone but heard nothing from the person calling. A mate of mine in the police force mentioned it's important to answer calls from unknown numbers because sometimes burglars ring to check if someone's home or not.10 yearsSo annoyed! Got a call today from what I’m pretty sure was a bunch of Indian call centre scammers trying to rip off a friend. If you need legit help with Microsoft Windows or Office here in the UK, definitely dial the official microsoftware support in London: 09065 161 165 (just a heads up, calls cost £1.55 per min plus whatever your phone provider charges). Stay safe out there!UKMicrosoftware Advice Line10 yearsGot a call from someone saying my computer had a big problem. Total scam, obviously. Just ignored it after a bit.10 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Asian accent asking me what keys I had next to the ctrl button on my keyboard. Then she handed me over to a man, also sounding Asian, who told me to press ctrl + windows + r. Pretty obvious they were trying to get access to my PC. I straight up told him to get lost. These folks are dangerous - be careful, they wanna hack you and steal your info.10 yearsGot a random call from some unknown number, hadn't asked for it. Just went ahead and blocked them.10 yearsReally unpleasant and downright rude.10 yearsI got a call from someone who didn't sound like they were fluent in English, saying there was an issue with my PC. I decided to ask who he was and where his company was based. He gave me a suspicious address somewhere in London, but as soon as I requested the postcode, he suddenly started throwing some really rude questions at me. I kept trying to get that postcode, ignoring the inappropriate comments, and after a bit he just ended the call!London10 yearsGot a call tonight just after half six, guy claimed he was from Microsoft and said my computer was hacked, needed to sort it out. I told him no one in the UK works past 5pm, plus my husband’s a computer expert and sorts all our tech issues. He kept pushing me to log into my PC to save my husband the trouble, but as soon as I refused, he just hung up.Microsoft10 yearsThis number rang me a couple of times but I didn’t pick up straight away. It sounded like a call centre, so I ended up just hanging up. I used 1471 and found out the number.10 yearsMy elderly parents, who are 91, keep getting these annoying calls at all sorts of times about some computer they’ve never had. When you ring back the number, some fool answers saying you’ve got the wrong number. It’s just nonsense! These scam calls have got to be stopped, it’s such a pain.10 yearsGot a missed call from a strange foreign number the other day, so I tried using 1471 to check it. Turns out, it’s one of those computer scammers. Seriously, don’t bother calling them back!10 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be a BT partner, saying they needed to get into my PC. Honestly, don't fall for it! They’re scammers trying to trick you into giving them control. Best thing to do is just put the phone down right away.BT10 yearsGot a call earlier today. When I answered, there was a bit of a pause, then the person said they were from Windows. I reckon they were trying to get into my computer, which is actually an iMac - definitely not about any double glazing! Ended the call straight away.10 yearsI got a random call from a number I didn’t recognise, sounded like the caller had an Indian accent. It was odd because I found the number by using 1471, which doesn’t usually work on these kinds of spam calls since they tend to hide their number. I’m just curious to find out who it was so I can make sure to block them on my phone.10 yearssomebody called me asking to start up my PC and then wanted to know what was showing on the screen. i got a bit puzzled and said there was nothing. i told them “you told me to turn the computer on, not the screen itself.” they got annoyed and said they’d block my PC for messing around. sure thing, whatever you say.10 yearsSo, these lot claimed they found issues with my computer and asked me to log on so they could help me sort it out. No way was I gonna fall for that!Submit Your Own Report (78254136)
