10 yearsSome bloke named 'Ben' rang my mum, who's quite old, three times claiming he was from Windows and supposedely found a fault on her PC. She wisely kept quiet and didn't share anything with him. When I answered one of his calls, I told him to stop bothering her and that genuine Windows support wouldn't be calling out of the blue. He still told me her number would be deleted from his list but said they’d 'lock' her computer or summat like that. Proper dodgy if you ask me.Ben10 yearsYesterday I got three calls, the first one was in the morning and the bloke said there was an issue with my computer. When I asked where he was calling from, he said Thames Valley in Reading. He then gave me a number - 01183283387. I'm really tired of these calls now. I told him I’d report them to the police. Might even let that TV show Watchdog know about it.Thames Valley ParkReadingWatchdog10 yearsI received a phone call from someone called Kathryn Wood, claiming to represent Microsoft. She stated that they’d been alerted to issues with my computer, suggesting that it may have been compromised by an individual based in China. Can anyone offer some guidance on this?Kathryn WoodMicrosoftChina10 yearsJust like many others, I got a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, telling me my computer was hacked and throwing a long licence code at me. When I asked for his name, he said William Johnson and claimed to be in Reading. I could hear loads of noise like a call centre behind him, so it feels like a proper scam setup. I told him I'd ring back, but when I tried, the number didn’t connect at all. Kieran, North Wales, 11/1/17MicrosoftWilliam JohnsonReadingCheersKieranNorth Wales10 yearsGot a couple of calls today, sometime on 11/1/2017. When I asked the bloke where he was ringing from and his name, he said William Johnson from Microsoft in Reading. He told me my PC had been hacked and Microsoft was getting alerts about it. He then rattled off a long licence number I needed to check before they could fix anything. Seemed kinda believable at first. I tried ringing the number back but just got an automated message saying it couldn't connect. Pretty sure now it was just a scam!William JohnsonMicrosoftReading10 yearsWatch out, these lot are total scammers. Don't trust them!10 yearsIn the past few days, I’ve had calls from various numbers around Reading, including this one, all from people with what seemed like Asian accents. Today, a bloke claimed he was from Microsoft’s tech support, saying they’d got alerts about my computer being infected and asked me to switch it on. I asked where he was calling from, and he replied Thames Valley Park in Reading. I told him it was dodgy and a scam, but he just wouldn’t quit. Only when I threatened to report him to the cops did he hang up. Honestly, it’s so annoying!Thames Valley ParkReading10 yearsI got a call from a guy who said his name was Laurence Williams. He kept insisting and gave me a really long phone number as some kind of verification. Definitely felt like a scam to me. He was trying way too hard to persuade me, almost like he thought I’d fall for it. I really hope older folks watch out for this sort of thing!Laurence Williams10 yearsI've had the exact same problem as others here. People pretending to be Microsoft are really damaging the trust customers have in them. I even tried ringing Microsoft directly but didn't get any help at all. Does anyone know how to get them to actually do something about this?Microsoft10 yearsGot a call kinda like the ones mentioned before. The woman, sounded American, tried to convince me by giving what she claimed was my Windows 10 license number. It was super long. I told her I'd call back, but honestly, no way I’m doing that.10 yearsReceived a call from some bloke named Eric Watson claiming to be from Microsoft. Total scam, don’t let them get into your computer! Stay clear, it’s a con!Eric WatsonMicrosoft10 yearsI've had this number ring me a few times claiming to be from Microsoft's tech support, saying my PC's been hacked and locked. I looked up the number and it flagged as 'Dangerous.' Seriously, don’t turn your computer on or call them back - it’s definitely a scam. Make sure you report it so others don’t fall for the same trick.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from someone named Megan Brown claiming to be from Windows Tech Support. The number showed up as the 'Customer Care' line. She said there was a major issue with my PC. Since my wife answered and she wasn’t the 'owner', Megan asked for my mobile and insisted it was important I ring her back ASAP.Windows Technical SupportCare10 yearsGot a call from a guy saying he was with Microsoft, said he could fix these weird encrypted msgs my computer’s been sending. He gave me this number 01183283387 and an address: 10 Valley Park, Reading, Berkshire. I just told him I’d ring back later and then ended the call. Felt kinda iffy about it!MicrosoftValley ParkReadingBerkshire10 yearsGot a call the other day from this number. When I picked up, a bloke with an accent like he was from India said he was calling about my computer maintenance and claimed to be from somewhere around Thames Valley. Is there really no way to put a stop to these calls?Thames Valley10 yearsSome bloke called my nan saying she had to fork out £1700 to sort out her PC, or else he'd block it. Honestly, it's disgusting someone so vile can try and scam an old lady like that. Hope they catch him soon!10 yearsThis morning at like 7:50am, I got a call from a woman who said her name was Hazel Grace, but honestly she had a strong Asian accent. She claimed my computer was hacked over 700 times and was sending alerts to Microsoft’s security team! The call showed up as 'private' on my phone, but when I asked her for a callback number, she ended up giving me hers!!! It’s annoying how tech can be so advanced but some folks behind it just don’t seem to have a clue - either greedy or just plain dodgy!Hazel GraceMicrosoft10 yearsI got a call today from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. They told me there was an attempt to hack into my PC and wanted me to switch it on right away. When I asked where they were calling from, they gave me that exact number. I told them I’d ring them later, but then they threatened to lock my computer if I didn’t fix it straight away. Felt very dodgy to me.10 yearsToday I got a call from a guy claiming he was with Microsoft Support. He told me my computer had been hacked. It sounded a bit dodgy to me.Microsoft Support TeamSubmit Your Own Report (0118 328 3387)
