Got a call from someone saying they could repair my computer. I joked, "Which one exactly? I've got 167 here!" They just hung up right after.

Got a call from someone with an Indian or Pakistani accent saying they were from our electricity company. They knew our postcode and the name of our provider spot on but said there was a glitch with our billing number and wanted to check some details from the bill. The same bloke had also rung me earlier from 01453 714301. I told him I wasn’t convinced and ended the call. Haven’t heard from him again since.

Got a call from someone pretending to be from BT, telling me there was a problem with my broadband. They asked me to enter an IP address on my computer to “sort it out.” Turns out, once you do that, they can get into your bank info! Proper scam, be careful!

This bloke named William called me a couple of times, sounded foreign, saying there’s issues with my Windows updates and that he could sort it out for me. He kept pushing for me to sit at my computer, but the connection was rubbish. I kept finding reasons not to go near my PC cos I’m pretty sure it’s a scam to infect it with malware and then ask for cash to fix the problem.

Got a call from a lady with a foreign accent who first wanted to know who I was, then asked if she was speaking to me by name. She started going on about some problem with my electric meter, but I told her it wasn’t even turned on. She kept insisting I switch it on, so I just told her to jog on and promptly blocked the number.

Got a call from this number but didn’t pick up. Honestly, I tend to ignore numbers I don’t recognise.

Like loads of others have mentioned, it's just another scam call from "windows," so don't let them access your computer, seriously.

These calls are definitely a scam, they sometimes say there's an issue with your internet. Be careful not to let them access your PC, or else they might put a trojan on it and steal your banking info.

Got a call about some issue with my computer. I asked them "what computer?" and they just hung up on me!

i got a call from a guy with a strong indian accent, he said it was about my windows pc. the number popped up as basildon on my caller id. i played along and said ‘yeah actually ive been having problems with it’ but then he just dropped the call! guess i sounded a bit too interested for him. i knew it was a scam but was hoping for a bit of a laugh, shame he cut me off so fast.
