12 yearsGot a call from this number early today around 8:17 am, but I didn’t pick up since I was still in bed. Later on, at 17:41, I jotted down the number and decided to look it up because it seemed a bit odd. I’m registered on the phone preference list, so I try to avoid dodgy calls. Pretty pleased I checked it out, it’s good to be informed. I’m usually not one to fall for nonsense, but it helps to know who’s ringing and what I might be dealing with.12 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. He told me my computer had a virus and insisted I switch it on right away. When I asked for some kind of proof since it sounded fishy, he said if I turned it on and let him guide me, he’d show me a security page with a code only Microsoft would know. I told him I was tied up, and his attitude immediately shifted - he was quite rude and demanded a callback time. Definitely felt like a scam attempt.Microsoft12 yearsGot a call today from a bloke with an Indian accent, and there was a lot of racket in the background. He claimed my Windows 8 PC was messed up and needed switching on straight away. I told him I've got a few computers, so which one did he mean? That really set him off, and he snapped, yelling something like "just turn the computer on, you b****!" I immediately cut the call. I’m already annoyed by these scam calls, but getting shouted at like that in my own house? Absolutely not. They really must be put to a stop.12 yearsThis number rang me a couple of times today. I was pretty sure it was dodgy, so I asked which computer they meant since we have a few. The person got annoyed quickly and then started shouting, “Just switch on the computer, b***h!” That’s when I decided to hang up. Is there any way to stop these annoying calls? Who do you even report them to?12 yearsGot a call warning me about a virus and told me to switch my computer on. When I asked them which virus it was, they just hung up on me.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 a lot of others here, I got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent and loads of noise in the background. He asked if I was the phone owner - bit of a strange thing to ask, right? Then he said he was with Microsoft, which I wasn't buying. He tried to convince me I didn't have a computer, which confused him a bit when I said yes, I did. When I asked what info he had, the line just cut off. Next time I reckon I’ll mess with them a bit, maybe say something like, "This number belongs to Avon & Somerset Police IT Fraud Team," or even, "How did you manage to contact the MI5 cyber division?" That might throw them for a proper loop!MicrosoftIT Fraud DivisionAvon & Somerset Police12 yearsSomeone rang saying it was about my PC's windows, which seemed dodgy straight away. When I asked a few questions, they just ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam to me.12 yearsJust got a call from some muppet claiming to be from Microsoft’s server team. He told me my PC had a problem and insisted I switch it on so he could guide me through fixing it. I asked where exactly he was calling from and what the error was, but he said I didn’t need to worry about the details. I then let him know I’m studying IT at uni and asked for more info, and guess what? He hung up on me! Bit gutted because now I’m curious which part of my perfectly fine laptop is supposedly faulting - would’ve been good to learn something new since my course hasn’t covered that yet. Seriously, don’t switch your PC on for these lot, they’ll just get remote access and nick your info. It’s something we get warned about in my course!Microsoft12 yearsI got a call from someone saying my computer had a bunch of problems.

Also, how do I block these annoying calls?MicrosoftDave Wilson12 yearsGot a call from this number saying they were from Microsoft. When I asked who they wanted to talk to, they said "the laptop owner." I told them they should already know whose laptop it is if they're calling. They said they’d check after speaking to the owner.
