Received a dodgy call claiming there was an issue with my computer. When I mentioned that I didn’t own one, they abruptly hung up.

Woke 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.

Our telephone is equipped to filter out unwanted calls, yet this particular number broke through with a pitch to sell some sort of system that allegedly safeguards computers from external threats. The caller had a strong Indian accent, and then abruptly hung up on me.

When I picked up the phone, there was absolute silence on the other end. A mate of mine in the police force mentioned that it’s wise to respond to calls from unknown numbers, as some thieves might be probing to see if anyone's at home. Better safe than sorry, I suppose!

So 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!

Fraudster - issues with a computer and whatnot.

Got 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.

Extremely impolite and aggressive.

I 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!

Got 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.

This 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.

It's truly maddening! My elderly parents, both in their 91st year, keep receiving these pesky calls about a computer-something they don't even possess! When I tried ringing the number back, some halfwit just informed me I had the wrong number. What utter nonsense! These scam phone calls are absolutely infuriating and need to be put to an end.

Got 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!

I 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.

Got 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.

Received an unexpected call from a number I didn’t recognise, and the person on the other end had a noticeable Indian accent. Oddly, I got the number through the 1471 service. It’s rather typical for these irritating callers to hide their digits, isn’t it? I’m quite curious to find out their identity so that I can ensure they're barred from ringing me again.

somebody 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.

So, 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!
