I encountered a rather forceful lady who insisted on a response from me, declaring, 'I'm aware you're on the line, so respond!' She seemed to know our names and it turned out to be the most unpleasant cold call experience I've ever had.

The caller was rather forceful, hung up without a second thought, and then rang back straight away, only to disconnect once more.

Received a call from someone claiming my computer had been hacked. I informed them that we don’t own a computer and abruptly hung up. They persisted, ringing me another four times, threatening to block my 'bleeding' computer! What a farce!

I received a call from someone claiming to be Priti from "Microsoft," and when I inquired about which of my six computers had supposedly been compromised, she became quite defensive. She insisted that all of them were affected. Clearly, it was nothing but a scam!

I received a rather dodgy phone call from a woman purporting to be from BT, claiming my computer had been hacked. I was immediately sceptical and told her so, before hanging up. Not long after, she rang me back, threatening to continue the calls if I dared to end the conversation again. In the end, I decided to disconnect the phone line altogether to put an end to the nonsense!

I’ve come across numerous comments regarding this phone number, and it appears to be linked to a plethora of dubious schemes. An Indian woman rang me claiming to represent a global energy company, discussing gas and electricity. It’s clear that these are just con artists trying to fish for personal information to swindle unsuspecting individuals.

Received a right dodgy phone call purporting to be from Windows, asserting that my computer had been compromised and that hackers were after my account doing all sorts of illegal activities. They claimed that since my name is on the account, I'd be held liable. They insisted that if I didn’t act immediately, my online access would be shut down. I promptly told the caller that we don't own a computer at all (just an iPad), and that I recognised this as a scam, so I hung up. Would you believe it, they tried calling back! I chose not to pick up, and the voicemail they left was a tedious ramble in terrible English, berating me for ignoring them and calling me an idiot for wasting their time. The nerve! They attempted a third call, and once again, I ignored it. I had already done my research on the number to solidify my suspicions. Stay vigilant, folks!

I received a rather dubious call today from someone purporting to represent Windows, alleging that my computer had been compromised and that there were nefarious individuals attempting to breach my account. Apparently, since the account bears my name, I’d supposedly be liable for any misdeeds! They warned that unless I took immediate action, all my online activities would be blocked. Quite absurd, considering we don’t even own a computer—just an iPad. I suspected it was a scam, so I promptly ended the call.
To my surprise, the same individual rang back! I chose not to answer, and he left an extremely convoluted voicemail filled with poor grammar, accusing me of being foolish for ignoring him and advising me not to waste their time. How audacious! He had the nerve to try contacting me a third time, which I, of course, ignored. I’d already done some digging to verify my hunches regarding the number. Just a word of caution—stay vigilant!

Received a rather alarming call regarding some computer issues. I decided to end the conversation promptly. The caller was annoyingly tenacious, and to my dismay, they rang again. In the end, I resorted to unplugging the phone, and now I’ve ensured that number is blocked for good.

I received a rather alarming call from this number, claiming that my computer had been hacked. The person on the other end was an incredibly discourteous woman of Asian descent, who decided to ring me back three times in quick succession. She persisted with two more calls, but I chose to ignore them and let my answering machine take over. Quite the nuisance, I must say!

I had a rather unpleasant encounter with a chap sporting an Indian accent who insisted he was calling from Microsoft. He was quite confrontational, which was totally uncalled for. I ended up disconnecting the call three times before I had to switch off my phone for about ten minutes to regain my sanity. Later, I noticed a missed call from the same number, but there was no voicemail left.

Received yet another silent call this afternoon! I could overhear some chatter in the background, which was rather peculiar. This marks the third time I'm being bothered today, but oddly enough, it’s from a different number each time. It’s clearly some sort of scam—absolute plonkers, if you ask me!

I firmly reckon that if it were something significant, the caller would’ve left a message, but alas, they didn’t. I tried 1471 to trace the number and subsequently searched for it online. Just my luck, yet another random caller with no good reason!

Cheshire: Initially, it struck me as one of those typical scams from the Far East, trying to convince me that they could prevent my computer from being disconnected, all while claiming affiliation with some fictitious division of a tech company. Usually, we would just hang up or they’d flee at the first hint of scepticism. However, this particular encounter was quite vicious and escalated beyond the norm.
First, my wife answered the call (truthfully) stating she neither owned a computer nor used the web, and promptly hung up. No sooner had she ended the call than the woman called back, clearly irked, and insisted, "Don’t hang up, we’re aware you have a computer!" Once again, my wife terminated the conversation.
The caller wasted no time and dialled back again. This time I picked up, and she addressed me by my surname, sternly advising me not to hang up or deny computer ownership, much like my wife had. She was terribly rude, making threats about how they had knowledge regarding my computer and that disconnection was imminent. I hung up yet again and attempted to trace the number through 1471, but it just kept ringing engaged.
This is an alarming turn of events worth evading… I shudder to think what an elderly relative might do if confronted with something like this... All of this occurs despite our registration with the Telephone Preference Service!

Had a rather challenging phone call with a woman who had a heavy Indian accent, and the background noise was quite distracting – sounded like she was in a call centre.

I’ve no acquaintances in Bristol, yet I’ve encountered several numbers linked to Magrathea. Is it possible they have a knack for dodgy calls?
