2 yearsTotal scam, watch out!2 yearsGot a recorded call pretending to be from Action Fraud, saying my phone number was about to be taken offline due to fraud. They told me to ring them back or call 101. I just turned my phone off for a bit instead. Sounded really convincing though.Action Fraud3 yearsIt was a total rip-off.3 yearsGot a call from some dodgy Asian call centre, could hear loads of people speaking in the background. The guy was looking for a family member who died like ages ago. When I didn’t say who I was, he just ended the call. No doubt, total scam!3 yearsThis chap claimed to be from BT, specifically their internet security division. I refrained from sharing any personal information with him. He inquired about my internet usage frequency, to which I replied that I'm online constantly. After that, he abruptly hung up.BT3 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent, he said his name was Henry and said he was from BT Internet. He kept going on about some issue with my server. Thing is, I don’t even use BT Internet, never had it before. Was a bit weird he knew my name as well.HenryBT3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, with a strong Indian accent. I played along for about 6 minutes while he tried to convince me to let him take control of my keyboard. Eventually, he gave up after I cheekily asked if his blood pressure was getting high!BT3 yearsAt first I ignored the call because I didn’t recognise the number, but later found out it was just some scammer trying their luck!3 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they just ended the call straight away.3 yearsNobody picked up when I called.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with BT Openreach, saying they're the internet company for all of the UK - totally not true. I called him out on it and he just hung up straight away. Definitely a scam from India, I'd say.BT OpenreachUK3 yearsBEWARE! This is a TOTAL SCAM. Loads of people have been tricked into handing over cash recently. During September, we’ve had tons of reports about folks getting ripped off by these awful frauds. These scams seem to be getting worse, so NEVER share your personal info or bank details with anyone. If you get a dodgy call, text, or letter, please report it to Action Fraud straight away. Also, put up a warning on social media and ask others to spread the word - it really helps stop others from falling victim. Cheers for helping fight this!Action Fraud3 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Indian accent talking about a refund for a broken kitchen gadget. Asked me for my personal info - total scam, watch out!3 yearsGot a missed call from this number, but they ended it before I even picked up.

Definitely felt like a scam to me.3 yearsWatch out, I got a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft, total scam!Microsoft3 yearsIn just two mornings around 9am, I've had three calls from people claiming to be from BT Openreach, dropping the name of a previous account holder. They’re really pushy and all speak English with South Asian accents, both men and women. Each time, they tell me my internet has been hacked!BT Openreach3 yearsGot a call earlier claiming to be from BT, I just said they must be scammers and ended the call straight away.BT3 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call from someone claiming to be from Virgin Media, but the number they dialled was from a Police Headquarters. When I mentioned that they were reaching a police line, they cheekily declared they were actually police officers themselves and were phoning from a rather suspiciously named "Virgin Media Police Station" in London. They went on about how I was supposedly in serious trouble. While it was quite an amusing exchange, I urge everyone to stay vigilant!Virgin MediaPolice HeadquartersVirgin Media Police StationLondon3 yearsA person called me saying they’d been sending emails which I never replied to. I asked them where they got my number from, then just hung up when it sounded dodgy.3 yearsSome one ringed me saying they were Virgin Media about problems with my internet. I just hung up straight away.Virgin Media3 yearsSomebody rang, said they were from Microsoft and wanted me to log into my PC. I just ended the call straight away.Microsoft3 yearsSomeone rang me from this number claiming to be part of Sky.

I just told him to get lost and stop wasting my time.SkyBT3 yearsGot a call from some bloke who clearly wasn’t fluent in English, struggling to talk about my Virgin Media internet. I played along for a bit, but then he started swearing at me nonstop and eventually just hung up. He ain’t gonna fool me, I’m too sharp for that. Still, I reckon they must ring loads of elderly folks who might fall for it. These calls really must be stopped. How on earth do they keep getting through?Virgin Media3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with a computer registered to my address. I ended the call straight away and figured I’d blocked the number. But no sooner had I done that, they rang back, called me by my name, and started getting all pushy, asking why I’d cut them off. Total scam, be careful!Microsoft3 yearsThese scammers have no idea about how things should actually be done.3 yearsA woman with an accent that seemed quite different from mine verified my last name. She then proceeded to mention that she was calling regarding my BT invoice. The problem is, I don't even have a BT account, so I promptly ended the call.3 yearsTypical Microsoft con call. I told them the person at the computer wasn’t available and asked if they could give me a number to ring them later. Then they just hung up on me.Microsoft3 yearsA few minutes ago, got a call from someone saying they were Microsoft and wanted to get into my computer.

When a young woman came on the line, I mentioned how noisy it was, and then she just hung up.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Virgin Media about some internet issues I've had recently. Seemed dodgy right away, but I played along a bit. They wanted me to switch on my laptop so they could "show" the issue. When I asked why they hadn’t done any normal security verification, they just ended the call straight away. Definitely a scam.Virgin Media3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, saying our internet was compromised. I looked up the number here and saw others had the same experience. When I told the caller it sounded dodgy, they just hung up on me. Definitely feels like a scam.BT3 yearsGot a call from 01132951088 early at 7:59am today, but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Seems dodgy to me since real call centres usually don’t ring that early, before 9am. Definitely a scam, so I’ve blocked them!3 years4th Sept 2023 at 12:23 pm, I got a call, clearly from some auto dialler. They were claiming my computer had issues, but just as I was about to find out more, the call dropped.

Then I just ended the call.Microsoft3 yearsAs soon as my voicemail kicked in, they hung up straight away.3 yearsNo intro or anything, they just started talking outta nowhere.3 yearsSome bloke called saying my internet was hacked and claimed to be from Sky. Seemed fishy straight away, so I just ended the call. Total scam, I reckon.Sky3 yearsSome dodgy caller rang up saying they were from Microsoft tech support, telling me they’d spotted a fault on my PC through some remote system. They tried to get me to share info so they could take control of my computer, probably to install some sketchy software. I lost interest before things got too deep and told them I worked in IT and was aware of their tricks. Still, they kept insisting that someone unknown was watching my device and even threatened to block my computer if I refused their “help”.Microsoft3 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. She said my computer was hacked and that they’d been trying to reach me for a while. I kept asking which computer she meant, and she got really annoyed, snapping at me to listen. Every time I asked something, you could hear a man’s voice in the background, like she was being told what to say. I told her no, then hung up. I've had calls like this before from people saying they're from Microsoft. This time, I blocked the number straight away.MicrosoftJennifer3 yearsJust got a call from 01132951088, total scam attempt as usual. Honestly, when will these idiots get the hint?

I've gone ahead and blocked the number now. (I'm from East Suffolk.)East Suffolk3 yearsMy mum, who’s elderly, got a call from someone saying they were from “Cyber Security,” asking if she’d been a victim of a scam. She quickly ended the call, as she’d already lost a few grand to scammers pretending to be from Microsoft. She’s now painfully aware that it’s best not to trust strangers on the phone and always double-check with family before taking any action. It’s so sad how these nasty crooks target older folks who might not be so clued up with technology.Cyber SecurityMicrosoft3 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to be Sky. I asked them a few questions and they ended up calling me a #### and then immediately hung up on me.

Been getting calls like this more than once now.Microsoft3 yearsThey rang me saying they could fix my computer, but I don't even own one, so it has to be a scam.3 yearsI got a call from this number earlier, lucky for us we still keep a fax machine hooked up to one of the lines, and that’s the one they dialled!!3 yearsI got a call from a woman with a foreign accent saying she was calling from Microsoft Windows. She went through the typical story about some suspicious "activity" on my computer. I just let her chat for a bit before telling her I don’t actually run Windows, I’m a Linux user. If you ever get calls like that, it’s worth saying something similar to see how they react.Microsoft3 yearsSome bloke rang saying he was from Sky and that our router had some kind of security problem.
