2 yearsI picked up and said hello, but there was no response and then they just ended the call. Looks like it might have been one of those scam calls.2 yearsGot a call from 01216617420 around 2 or 4 in the afternoon, but there was total silence when I answered. Strange.4 yearsGot a call claiming to be VirginMedia, but defo not them. Total scam, don’t trust it. VirginMedia have nothing to do with this, so beware!VirginMedia4 yearsHad a call from someone with a foreign accent pretending to be from Microsoft, saying there was something wrong with my Windows licence. Since I used to work in IT before retiring, I decided to have a laugh and mess with them a bit. Honestly, in these dull days it was a welcome distraction. After I started giving them replies they clearly hadn’t expected, they just gave up and hung up on me. Can’t wait to bother them again sometime. One time I even answered one of these calls with, “Hello, Microsoft support, what can I do for you?” They actually found it funny too!Microsoft4 yearsMy partner picked up the phone and struggled to catch what the caller was saying because of a really thick Asian accent. When he tried to ask who they were calling from, there was no clear answer, just a load of talk about sums on some Visa card. He told them to stop and put the phone down. This made it the third dodgy call we've had this week, but at least this one was a person and not some automated voice. We live in Leeds, by the way.Leeds4 yearsI received a call from someone with a South Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft regarding my account. The moment he sensed that I wasn't buying his story, he started cursing and abruptly hung up. Without a doubt, this was a scam call!Microsoft4 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from the Windows Tech Team or something, I told him right away I wasn’t interested and just ended the call. Then he phoned again, but this time from another number, asking why I’d cut him off. I just told him I didn’t want to chat and hung up on him again.Windows Technical Team4 yearsAbsolutely a con. Some bloke called claiming to be from Microsoft, wanting to chat about my account. When I didn’t fall for it, he started swearing at me and just hung up abruptly.Microsoft4 yearsIt was an unfamiliar number, so I decided not to pick up. Pretty sure it was just a scam.4 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, missed it though.4 yearsSome woman rang telling me she was from Microsoft, then when I asked where she was calling from, she said Paddington. I told her I’d just call Microsoft directly and hung up. Bye!MicrosoftPaddington4 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent, said he was from BT about my broadband. I just cut him off, had almost the exact same call last week so no thanks.BT4 yearsGot a call on my home phone from someone claiming to be Virgin Media. When I asked for the IP address they mentioned, they handed me over to their “tech guy.” He couldn’t actually give me the details and instead tried to explain how to look it up on Google. Pretty clear these were scammers.Virgin MediaGoogle4 yearsThe call never made it through to my voicemail since there was no info from the caller. Had a look it up here, and I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.4 yearsThis bloke rang up saying he was from BT, telling me my internet was being accessed by loads of different ISPs. I asked him how he knew that, but he couldn't give me an answer and started shouting. Then I asked if he could tell me what my IP address was. He got really annoyed and when I pointed out he was being rude to a customer, he just cut me off.BT4 yearsMy phone system stopped the call, so they didn't leave any message.4 yearsSome woman rang claiming to be from Virgin Media, saying there were problems around here and she needed to know how many gadgets I had hooked up to the internet. I told her I wasn't sure. She insisted she needed that info to sort it out. I told her if she was legit Virgin, she should be able to deal with it without me having to give any details. Then I asked her to say who I was - she sounded like she was looking it up and then just ended the call.Virgin Media4 yearsI got a call from 01216617449, and the lady said she was calling from BT about issues with my internet. I told her that number isn’t actually BT’s, and asked her to send an email instead so I could verify it properly. After that, I just ended the call.BT4 yearsReceived a call on my home phone claiming to be from Virgin Media. When I probed them about the IP address in question, they transferred me to their so-called "technician." This bloke didn't even know the answer and proceeded to suggest I search for it on Google instead. Clearly, a bunch of con artists!Virgin MediaGoogle4 yearsThey claimed to be from BT, but that’s totally false. What they actually want is to get into people’s computers.BT4 yearsWhen my wife picked up the phone and gave them the proper last name, they told her she was busy and just swore at her before slamming the phone down.4 yearsHad no idea who the caller was, so I just let it ring out. They didn’t bother to leave any message either.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft saying my PC was hacked. They rang me back about 4 more times! Proper annoying, total scam. I’ve blocked the number now.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call on my landline which I usually ignore, they didn’t leave any voicemail. After checking what others said, it seems like it might be another scam attempt.4 yearsAbout half an hour ago, I got a call warning me about unusual activity on my internet IP.

They then gave me an 0800 800150 number to ring back, which shows up as BT, although it might actually be a scam number.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, saying there was some dodgy activity on my internet.
