Beware of calls from Microsoft claiming to fix your computer - they are trying to scam you! Never give them any info or let them get into your device. Keep your details safe and hang up immediately!

I’m starting to think maybe the TPS no-call list got leaked or sold, because both our number and my in-laws’ are on there, yet these telemarketers keep ringing us back to back, then ringing the in-laws, then back to us again - it’s like nonstop!

Picked up the home phone and the line just went silent after a few seconds. Really tired of getting these annoying calls. The area code shows Sheffield but I’m pretty sure it’s not from there!

Got a call from 01142737210, picked up and all I heard was silence. Looked it up here and found out it's a "Microsoft" scam number. Bit annoyed 'cause my phone through Virgin Media doesn’t have a way to block calls like this.

Got a call from some bloke named Isaac, an Asian guy, saying he was from Microsoft’s tech support asking if I used the PC. I just ended the call straight away. Then he called back right away, wondering why I hung up and carried on with the same story. I asked for some sort of proof that he really worked for Microsoft and where his office was located. Suddenly, he claimed he worked for MI6 and then quickly hung up on me.

Got a call from a man who sounded Asian, said his name was Issac. He was talking about my computer but I quickly clocked it was a scam. I told him I don’t even own a pc, but he kept going on like “you don’t have a laptop or computer?” I told him again, no. Then he asked if I had any device at all, I’d already said no a few times and then he just cut the call.

I didn’t pick up when the phone rang, but I decided to check the number here first. When I called back to warn them I’d report it, guess what? The number wasn’t valid at all! Honestly, there should be laws against faking numbers and bothering folks like this. Such a pain.

Just got a call from an Asian bloke a couple of minutes ago, claiming to be from Microsoft. He asked if I was the one who owns my computer. I told him, "You're calling about a problem, but you don't even know anything about my computer." He then mentioned something about it breaking and losing all my stuff, and before I could say anything else, he hung up.

Had a man with an Asian accent ring saying he was from Microsoft, claiming there was an issue with my computer (not the first time I’ve had a call like this), then he just hung up. Why is it so hard to catch these lot? They’ve obviously been using that number for ages. Surely there should be some rule making BT hand over details to the police on who’s behind these calls and where they’re coming from. To the folks running this site, have you ever reached out to MPs or BT about cracking down on these scams? Recording all these calls is pointless if nothing ever changes.

Got a call early at around 8.40am from a man with an Asian accent claiming Microsoft had passed on my number because my computer was supposedly at risk. I told him I don’t even own a computer, which seemed to confuse him a bit. He kept saying my computer was in danger (funny, coming from him!). I asked him to remove my number since I’m ex-directory and on the TPS list, but I think it was pointless, probably just random calls. Then he abruptly ended the call on me.

They really should quit calling an elderly woman all the time and then not saying a word. There ought to be a heavy fine for this kind of behaviour. Would they treat their own mums like that, I wonder?

Pick up the phone and just waffle on a bit, might help stop someone else falling for these scammy lot while you're chatting. I even grabbed a cuppa and had a quick bathroom break during the call, you know how it goes. Would be cool to see the funniest stories shared here!

I got a call from a lady with an Asian accent, saying she was from Microsoft. She told me hackers were attempting to get into my PC, which was pretty worrying.

I've had calls from this number a couple of times even though I'm on the TPS list. Honestly, if I answer a call and there's nothing but silence for about 10 seconds, I just hang up. Most likely it's one of those call centre systems trying to connect the call to an agent.

Just like others here, I received a call this morning before 9am from a man with an Asian accent pretending to be from Microsoft. He said he needed to access my PC to sort out some issues. Since I work in IT, I decided to mess with him a little, asking things that clearly caught him off guard. Eventually, he got annoyed and started threatening that Microsoft would cancel my licences since my computer supposedly wasn’t authorised - complete rubbish really. Then he hung up abruptly. Typical fraud attempt. Seriously, don’t let these scammers near your computer!

He said his name was Dan, by the way.

At 9 in the morning, I got a phone call from 01142737210. The caller kept telling me I’d been receiving messages on my laptop or something. I immediately thought it sounded fishy. When I said that, he just kept repeating my first name nonstop, trying to shut me up. I requested he take my number off his list and never call again, but he ignored me and carried on talking. I hung up. Before I could block the number, he rang again. This time, I firmly told him to stop calling, hung up, and quickly blocked the number. Since he knew my name, I guess this is from some sold list or something.
