Someone rang up claiming to be from 'Windows'. We don’t even have a Microsoft PC nowadays, but we know these kinds of scams well after falling for one ages ago, so we weren't fooled this time. I can see how it could easily trick someone less aware though. It’s so frustrating when you’ve got a poorly family member at home who really needs quiet and sleep.

I've got the BT Guardian phone and honestly, it's brilliant! It keeps an eye on any numbers I don't know and lets me decide if I want to pick up or block them straight away. Definitely worth spending on, can’t recommend it enough!

That typical scam call, claiming I’ve got a virus and they can fix it. I actually kept the bloke chatting for a fair few minutes before I just burst out laughing. After that, he quickly hung up the phone.

This number rings quite a bit. Whenever I pick up, there’s only silence on the other end before they just hang up with a quick “GOODBYE.” It’s super frustrating.

A bloke called Michael gave me a ring from this number, claiming he was with Microsoft and offered to "fix" my PC, saying it was full of viruses. They've tried this trick on me before, so I asked him for his full name, date of birth, and National Insurance number, telling him I'd verify the details and get back to him. After that, he just hung up.

This number has called me four times already, but every single time there’s nothing but silence first and then a quick goodbye. Quite odd!

Same old story, one of them calls saying "Your computer's got a virus." I like to mess with them a bit. I act like an old bloke who’s a bit confused (which isn’t hard for me), and say my computer’s away being fixed and I don't have the cash to get it back yet. Then I ask if they can send me £110 so I can pay for their help. You can even tell them to use a nearby PayPoint to send the money - but seriously, never give out your bank details. Unless you’re some wealthy Nigerian trying to move cash abroad… but that’s a whole different scam altogether!

BT ought to cut off this number, honestly. The bloke on the line was so rude; he told me to shove off and hung up the moment I mentioned my name shouldn’t be on his list. I didn’t even get to explain that I’m registered with TPS before he slammed the phone down.

Just got a call from 008472583794 pretending to be from Windows @outlook(###], trying to trick me into running some dodgy exe file through the command prompt. I worked out it was a scam straight away, but played along for a bit to mess with them. They didn’t take kindly to being called out and having their bluff called. Honestly, why doesn’t BT do something about this? They should be blocking these numbers before they reach us. Wish the phone providers all worked together to stop these scammers. Total scam alert!

Some guy called claiming to be from the Windows Tech Support. I asked if he worked for Microsoft and he said yes. I told him I read on Microsoft's site that they never ring people up. To "prove" he was legit, he gave me a licence number but it was all wrong. I told him he should get a proper job and then he just ended the call.

I got a call once from someone saying they were from Microsoft, on an overseas number, trying to convince me to let them access my computer to "sort out issues". Yeah, like I was gonna fall for that. They also wanted me to pay to "fix" it or else mess up my machine. It's worrying how some people actually get caught out by this. I passed it on to BT, though I don't know what action they'll take. This time it was a chap with an Asian accent who called himself Robert. Funny enough, he called back asking why I hung up - I wasn't exactly courteous in my reply!

Got a ring from some bloke called Michael saying he was from Windows. Sketchy right from the start! When I asked where he was calling from, he claimed Kings Cross, right across from the British Library. But the number was foreign, so that’s a bit fishy. I asked nicely for his full name and the company's details, and he went a bit rude on me before hanging up. Dodgy call if you ask me.

A guy called Michael claiming to be from the computer center rang me earlier. When I asked which company he was with, he just kept saying something about Windows and the computer center. I told him to wait a sec, put the phone down, and carried on with my TV show. Every now and then I could hear a faint "hello" noise, then suddenly it went quiet, so I guess he hung up. This was the second call like this today, but from a different number the first time. I seem to get calls like this all the time now - I've already got a list of about eight different numbers they've used.

Typical stuff, this bloke called claiming to be James from Microsoft, insisting my computer had a virus and he could help if I switched it on. I told him how amazed I was at Microsoft’s customer care these days, especially since I actually use a Mac. That’s when he shouted some rude word at me and just suddenly ended the call. Proper daft!

Got a call at the same time on both my phones from someone claiming to be with 3t tech support. I asked if he was with British Telecom, and he said yes. He told me there'd been loads of alerts about attacks on my PC and that I’d ignored their emails so they had to ring me. When I asked for his number, he slowly gave me 0800 096 8241. I called it back after and got a voicemail in a voice like BT’s saying they don’t use that number anymore. When I checked the caller ID by dialling 1471, it showed 0084 7258 3794 - it’s obviously a scam and total rubbish.

Got another call from the same number today, believe it or not, right while I was tuned into BBC Radio 4's Money Talk discussing those Talk Talk fraudsters. The bloke claimed he was with Microsoft’s tech support. Like I always do with these sorts of scammers, I didn’t hold back and started giving him what for. He got all threatening, saying if I shouted the insults again, he’d record them and report me. So I just shouted even louder and threw in a few extra insults - might’ve even mentioned his mum! Eventually, he just hung up. Couldn't handle it.

Got a call from some bloke with an Indian accent, sounded dodgy as anything. He was telling me there was a fault with my Windows and wanted me to log into my PC so he could sort it out. I was suspicious right away, so I joked and asked if he had a ladder to fix the problem. Obviously, I blocked the number straight away. Pure scam if you ask me.

Got a ring from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from the Windows support squad. I acted like I needed help and told him to go ahead. He gave me some nonsense directions, so I told him straight up I thought he was a fraud and joked that I'd love to smack him. He shot back saying he wouldn’t dare because I'm white, haha. These are proper con artists, best not to trust them.

Kept him talking for about 4 and a half minutes with phrases like "this is dreadful, you really need to fix my computer's security problems." I told him I mostly use my PC for forex trading and online banking, which seemed to grab his attention. At first, he sounded a bit annoyed, telling me "computers don't take that long to start up." Eventually, he ended the call when I asked if I could put him on hold.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who claimed his name was Michael. He said he wanted to 'fix some corruption errors' on my PC. I told him I’m pretty savvy with computers and was sure there was nothing wrong. He then got a bit annoyed and asked if I was a technician. I said no, but I know my way around a computer. Then he said he’d ring me every single day until the issue was sorted. I just shrugged and said ‘alright then’. He was like ‘what do you mean alright?’ I told him if he wanted to call every day, that was fine. Then he ended the call. Quite the experience!

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from 'Windows' about issues with my pc. I decided to humour him and asked for his number in case we got disconnected (though I already had it on my phone showing). Strangely, he rushed through reciting my own number back to me! I told him that wasn’t right and asked once more, then suddenly the call just dropped. Watch out - these scammers are just trying to take your money!

Got a call from a guy speaking with a thick asian accent claiming my Windows PC was infected with a virus.

If you’ve got some spare time, it’s quite amusing to try and drag these scammers out as they do with us! But watch out, they’ll gladly steal everything if given the chance!

Some bloke called claiming to be from the IT dept. He started off by snapping, "Why aren’t you picking up the phone right?" I wanted to know who exactly I was talking to. Then he repeated the same question, but sounded really rude this time. I told him if he had a problem with his tone, and he just fired back asking if _I_ had an attitude! I just ended it with a quick "bye". Honestly, avoid answering this number unless you're up for an argument.

This number keeps ringing my 92-year-old mum, who's pretty hard of hearing, so she can't really make out what the caller's saying. It's really upsetting her, making her worry she’s being conned somehow.

Recently, I got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who claimed he was ringing about my 'Windows laptop'. I pretended to be interested and asked him how he even knew I owned one. His reply was that he had my IP address. When I asked him where he got it from, he just said I should pay attention and listen to him. I tried asking again how he knew the type of computer I have, if any, and he rudely called me a dim woman with no common sense! Honestly, what a nerve.
