Got another call from these scammers just now. It’s disgusting how they try to exploit honest folks. Hope karma catches up with them real soon…

Somebody pretending to be from Microsoft called me, which was pretty scary since they already knew my name and where I live. Honestly, I’m not even sure what I’d do if the real Microsoft ever gave me a bell! 😅

Between 7:30 and 8 every morning, I keep getting calls. I've told them loads of times to stop calling me, but it’s really getting on my nerves. I’ve got to pick up because my mum's quite elderly and it worries me if I don’t answer. Proper frustrating! 😡

Somebody claimed to be from Microsoft. I just told her to buzz off, what a daft woman. Then she started calling me a white birch and a pig.

The caller was exceedingly loud and quite pushy about a particular issue with my computer. I could hear all the commotion of a call centre behind them. It gave me the impression that it was a scam, so I decided to hang up.

You’ve got to report these scammers, seriously. It’s honestly the best way to put an end to their nonsense. I’ve shared the reporting info down below for anyone who needs it.

Here’s some info on how to use the system set up by the police (NFIB) which makes it straightforward for anyone to report scam texts, calls, emails and other fraud attempts. I found out about it after raising the issue of constant scam calls with my MP. It seems scammers really want to keep this quiet. Unless you actually report these things, don’t expect them to stop. You can report to 7726, your network provider, Ofcom or any company being faked - these can help a bit - but often the info doesn’t make it to the official police fraud team where real action can be taken.

This bloke said he was Michael from Microsoft but when my missus told him, "No you’re not, who even are you?", he just went quiet and ended the call all of a sudden. Proper odd!

I keep getting calls from people claiming they’re from Microsoft UK, but most of them are actually scams, probably coming from call centres in India and just routed through the UK. This morning, just before half past seven, I took my dog out into the garden and when I came back inside, the answerphone was blinking but there was no message. Proper annoying!

Got a call really early, no one on the line, so I’m guessing it was just some call centre messing about.

Called by some bloke saying he was Eric Wilson from Microsoft, with an Asian accent or something. I told him yeah, sure, sounds like a scam to me. I also said I’m gonna report you lot to the cops. He said it was about my computer. Total con.

Some bloke rang up sayin he was from Microsoft, but he kept pronouncing Reading as "Readding" or summat. Sounded dodgy to me.

This bloke kept going on about my computer being hacked, even though I told him I've got no laptop or smartphone at all. I could hear loads of other people chatting away in the background, sounded like a call centre. He said he was from Microsoft or something, but his accent was definitely foreign. Kept pushing me no matter what I said.
