8 yearsReceived a call from someone with a heavy Asian accent claiming to be a technician from Microsoft, stating that my computer was compromised by a virus. I wouldn’t trust these con artists for a second!Microsoft9 yearsI had a call from an unknown number today, but my clever phone caught it and showed me who was calling. Since I didn't know the number, I just let it go straight to voicemail. Normally, if it's someone genuine, they leave a message, but this time they just hung up. So at least they wasted their credit, haha!9 yearsI’m seriously over all these random cold calls I keep getting all the time.9 yearsGot a missed call that my blocker thought was a legit Reading number, but it wasn’t. Fingers crossed Trevor or Jane ring back so I can have a proper chuckle before launching into a foul-mouthed, racist tirade. Kinda funny that M/S UK is actually operating out of Reading!TrevorJaneM / S UKReading9 yearsThese calls are pretty risky because the caller will try to get your private info and access your internet. I’d seriously suggest not sharing any details and just ending the call straight away. I work in IT, and they definitely aren’t calling to help you in any way.9 yearsthis number just rang me but i didnt pick up. looked it up and apparently it’s one of those scams where they claim there is an issue with your windows from microsoft. best to just ignore it and dont answer!Microsoft9 yearsgot a call on 11/05/17 from someone saying they were microsoft. i just told them they weren’t and ended the call straight away.Microsoft9 yearssomeone named “paul wilson” rang me up claiming my windows PC had been throwing errors for nearly a month. i’ve dealt with these types of calls loads before, so i just played along a bit, asking him to specify which computer he meant. he kept going “look, i’m telling you, it’s true.” after a while i just got annoyed and told him i didn’t own a computer at all. he replied with “then why are you wasting our time?” haha, what a weird bloke.Paul Wilson9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be the Microsoft service team. They tried to convince me they were legit by using a CLSID as proof and even mentioned my licence number (bit of a joke). Turned out to be an Indian call centre. Once I told them cold calls ain't how Microsoft do things, they just hung up. Reported the number to BT and Action Fraud. Seems like they've switched tactics now - targeting the Reading exchange instead of London or Birmingham.MicrosoftReadingLondonBirmingham9 yearsThey said it was Microsoft calling, but it was so clearly a scam. Weird that the number still hasn’t been taken off the list.Microsoft9 yearsSome bloke claiming to be 'Henry' from Microsoft rang me up. When I told him he wasn’t really Henry and that it was clearly a scam from India, he just called me an idiot and hung up straight away!HenryMicrosoftIndia9 yearsThis guy said he was from Microsoft and that there was something wrong with my Windows. I told him I've got Everest installed and that everything's fine, thank you!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft - totally fake, of course. Best to just hang up and not bother with it.Microsoft9 yearsGot two calls from this number earlier today, but every time I answered, there was no one on the line.9 yearsSomeone said they were with Microsoft.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call back from some woman claiming to be from Microsoft. She wanted a word with me, but I was like, ‘I don’t even own a phone!’ so I just ended the call. :)Microsoft9 yearsI didn’t answer because I didn’t know the number. They called saying they were from Microsoft, but I’m not convinced. Would’ve preferred a bit more info before they just rang me outta the blue.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call on my home phone from someone claiming to be Microsoft.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0118 877 4455)
