8 yearsI told them I don’t own a computer and then just ended the call, sounds like a total scam.8 yearsNever got back to me and didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail. Honestly, felt like I was dealing with some daft hobbits or something.8 yearsSpoke to a really nice Indian lady who actually got what proper English sounds like. I just don’t get why some folks aren’t happy with their free council homes, free NHS, schooling for their huge families, plus all the mobility scooters, disability payments for their elderly mums, and carers benefits for their dodgy brothers, and instead keep ringing us up? Just want to enjoy my Saturday morning hangover in peace. Blocked the number now.8 yearsThey call up saying they’re with TalkTalk, saying theres something wrong with your internet security, then ask if you have a computer.TalkTalk8 yearsHad a really nice chat with an Indian lady who, luckily, has picked up decent English now. It’s baffling why some can’t just appreciate the free council homes, NHS, education for their big families, mobility aids, disability support for their elderly mums, and carers’ payments for their messed-up brothers. Why not just let us enjoy our lazy Saturday mornings without bothering us? Blocked the number now.8 yearsGot a call from 01202294640 just after we’d gone offline.

Felt a bit dodgy, so I just ended the call.8 yearsGot a call from a really nice Indian lady who somehow picked up proper English at last. I just don’t get why some folks aren’t content with free council housing, free healthcare, schooling for their big families, cars for getting about, benefits for their elderly mums, and carers payments for their daft brothers. Just wish they'd stop bothering us while we’re trying to recover from a Saturday morning hangover! Blocked the number straight away.8 yearsGot a call from 01202 294640 saying my PC was hacked.

They’re not just scammers, they’re proper criminals and right scoundrels. How come they keep getting their hands on fresh numbers like that? Honestly, they should be caught and stopped from messing about like this.8 yearsI picked up the phone and all I could hear was someone talking in a language I didn’t understand. As soon as I said hi, they just ended the call. Proper annoying!8 yearsGot a call at 8:08 this morning, some guy claiming there was a problem with my computer and that Microsoft would block it.
