12 yearsReceived a call from this number at 8:17 am today, but I chose to ignore it since I was still in the land of nod. Curiosity got the better of me, so I noted the number and had a little rummage to find out more, as it was quite unfamiliar. I'm registered with the telephone preference service, so I'm never caught off guard. It's reassuring to have done a bit of sleuthing; I like to keep my wits about me, but it's always good to be informed about what might be lurking out there.12 yearsI received a call from a chap with a distinctly Indian accent, professing to be from Microsoft. He insisted that my computer was infected by a virus and urged me to power it on right away. When I asked for some proof of his identity, suspecting he might be up to no good, he claimed that by switching on my machine, he could guide me to a security page displaying a unique security code-one that supposedly only Microsoft possesses. When I mentioned I was occupied, his demeanour shifted dramatically, and he abruptly demanded a time to ring me back. Quite an impolite fellow, I must say!Microsoft12 yearsReceived a rather peculiar call today. A gentleman with an Indian accent, accompanied by quite a ruckus in the background, claimed to be reaching out to repair my Windows 8 machine, asserting it was corrupted and required immediate attention. Sensing that it was a scam, I decided to play along and inquired which of our computers he wanted me to switch on, since we possess several. His tone shifted dramatically, and he snapped back with, 'just turn on the bloody computer, you b***h!' at which point I promptly hung up. I'm already fed up with these nuisance calls, and to be insulted in my own abode is simply unacceptable! These chancers really need to be dealt with.12 yearsI’ve received two calls from this number so far. Recognizing it as a scam, I decided to play along and asked which computer they wanted me to switch on, since we’ve got several. This seemed to really frustrate him, and he ended up yelling, “Just turn on the bloody computer, you!” at me. That’s when I decided I’d had enough and hung up! Is there any way to tackle these nuisance calls? Who can I report them to?12 yearsSomeone rang me, insisting I switch on my computer, claiming it was infected with a virus. When I inquired about the specific type of virus, the call suddenly cut off.12 yearsGot a missed call from this number and when I rang back, it just said "the number you are trying to reach is not recognised." I had to jump online to check where it might be from since 0098 didn’t ring any bells. Found out what area it belonged to after looking up a few reviews by others. Cheers for the info, really helped!12 yearsSo I got a call from a guy with an Indian accent, loads of noise in the background. He said he was from Microsoft, which is obvious rubbish. Then he claimed I didn’t own a computer, which confused him a bit since I told him I did. After that, he mentioned they had one registered in my name, so I asked him what info he had on it. Then, the line just cut off. Next time, I reckon I'll try saying something like, “This is Avon & Somerset Police, IT fraud department,” or maybe, “How did you get this secret number of the British MI5?” See how they react.MicrosoftAvonSomerset12 yearsJust like the rest, really. A chap with an Indian accent was on the line, and there was quite a racket in the background. I found myself pondering a rather odd query - could I actually be the owner of this phone? He claimed to represent Microsoft, but when he insisted that I didn’t possess a computer, I simply had to challenge him! I asked, “Well then, what particulars do you have on record?” and, lo and behold, the call abruptly cut off. Next time, I might just say, “You’ve reached the IT Fraud Division of Avon & Somerset Police,” or perhaps try something cheeky like, “How did you secure this line to the MI5?”MicrosoftIT Fraud DivisionAvon & Somerset Police12 yearsThe individual on the other end claimed to be reaching out regarding some computer windows issues. However, it struck me as rather dodgy since they abruptly ended the call as soon as I probed further.12 yearsI just had a rather comical call from some chaps asserting they were from the Microsoft server division. They insisted that my computer had an error and urged me to power it up so they could guide me through some sort of fix. When I probed them about their location and the specifics of the alleged error, they insisted I didn't need that information. I then mentioned that I’m studying IT and would really appreciate some clarity, to which the bloke abruptly cut the line. It's rather disappointing, really, as I would have liked to know what on earth is supposedly wrong with my laptop, which, to be fair, seems to be functioning perfectly well from my perspective. Please, for your own safety, do not switch on your device if you get a call like this; these con artists aim to gain remote access and pilfer your information, a subject that has come up in my studies.Microsoft12 yearsI got a call from someone saying my computer had a bunch of problems.

If anyone has any tips or tricks to banish these bothersome calls for good, I'd be most grateful for your insights.12 yearsI encountered a similar situation earlier today. Instinctively, I sensed it was a con and assured them that my spouse worked in IT and that all our systems were fully updated. As soon as I mentioned that, they promptly ended the call!

Took one look and knew it was dodgy, so I just hung up straight away.12 yearsOn 1st August 2015 at 10:00, I received a rather dubious call on my landline, which is supposed to be unlisted. The chap on the other end, who had an Indian accent and seemed to be in a bustling office environment, claimed to represent Microsoft. He insisted that my computer was transmitting a virus. When I pressed him on how he had acquired my number, he brazenly stated it came from an international database. Before he could finish his spiel, I told him he was running a scam. The number that rang me was 009899614816.Microsoft12 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Windows support, telling me my computer was infected with viruses! Absolute scam.12 yearsThe call kept dropping, so we never managed to catch the name of the company. As soon as we let the caller know about the issue, she told us to “bugger off” and promptly hung up.12 yearsI received a call purporting to be from Microsoft regarding my computer, yet the caller’s command of English was rather lacking, and their pronunciation left much to be desired.

Is there any way I can put a stop to this irritation?12 yearsI received a call from this number, and the caller was going on about my husband's supposed laptop. He promptly told them he didn’t own one, and then they abruptly hung up on him! Quite amusing, really, since the laptop in question is actually mine.12 yearsWe keep receiving calls from a supposed Microsoft representative, and it's becoming quite bothersome. Any ideas on how to put an end to this?Microsoft12 yearsI've received a trio of calls from this number, with the callers claiming to represent Microsoft, insisting that my computer has some corrupted files. One of them, who introduced himself as Dave Wilson - though with a very thick accent, I might add - was quite rude and eventually told me to bugger off! I'm convinced this isn't a legitimate Microsoft call at all; after all, I doubt a reputable company would resort to such foul language. If anyone has any insights or advice on how to block this nuisance, I’d greatly appreciate it!MicrosoftDave Wilson12 yearsI received a rather dubious phone call from this number, purporting to represent Microsoft. When I inquired about who they were looking for, their response was somewhat vague, simply stating they wanted to speak to "the owner of the laptop." I countered, pointing out that they ought to know who owns the laptop if they were indeed calling about it. They then insisted they would provide confirmation only after speaking with the laptop's proprietor. It was all rather suspicious, and after I pressed for a name, they promptly ended the call. Quite the cheek!Microsoft12 yearsI've been getting calls on my home phone, both yesterday and today, from someone claiming to be from Microsoft.

I would appreciate it if you could block this number.Telephone Preference Service12 yearsLike many before me, I've had a dismal experience with what claimed to be Microsoft.
