Beware of GB Capital, they use loads of UK landline numbers and each time you answer, the guy on the phone has a different name. Total scammers, don’t trust them one bit! 😡😡

Got a call from some bloke called Mike who claimed he worked for an investment company. Turns out he was actually from New Delhi, India, which was a bit odd. He said he’d WhatsApp me but then just rang me again later on. Honestly, I’m still clueless about any investments since he didn’t even bring it up once he started chattering away. Definitely blocking him now.

Got a call from a man with an Asian accent claiming he was from GB Capital. He mentioned something about investments, but I just ended the call straight away. Looked them up afterwards, and there actually is a GB Capital, so now I'm a bit confused.

I received a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from the Windows Service Centre, insisting I had an issue with my computer. It's one of those age-old scams that's been doing the rounds for over ten years now, so I can only assume it's snagged quite a few unsuspecting victims along the way. (Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cueN1-2lANA). Honestly, it baffles me why the Telephone Preference Service doesn’t seem to intercept these calls. Whatever you do, steer clear of any requests they might make!

I got a call from a woman with an American accent, said there was an issue with Microsoft and wanted to speak directly to me. She wasn’t a robot or anything, sounded pretty pushy about getting a word with me.

Got a ring from a woman with a strange accent, she wanted to know when I'd last been on my computer, claiming it might be hacked. I asked which company she was with, and she just said "Windows". Then she passed me onto her boss who pretty much repeated the same spiel. I told them thanks but no thanks and ended the call straight away.

Could hear the buzz of a call centre behind the caller. Really pushy and kept going on about “your computer is being used by someone else.” Left the phone down so they could chat to themselves, but they didn’t stop. After I ended the call, they rang back straight away. Felt like bullying - kept asking “why did you hang up on me?” When I asked what company they were from, they just said “Windows.” Also said they had some kind of verification.

Got a call early morning, around 7:45, from a guy with an Indian accent who said he was Mr Johnson from Microsoft. He went through some scripted spiel about my computer having issues. I told him straight up I don’t even have a Windows PC, so obviously he was trying to scam me. He kept pushing anyway, but I just ended the call out of annoyance. Then, no surprise, the same number buzzed again a couple of minutes later, so I blocked it. Honestly, these scammers should come up with something a bit more believable!

Got a call from someone saying they were with Windows, but I corrected them saying you mean Microsoft, and they insisted Windows wasn’t the same firm! I had a laugh asking which IP they’d found the so-called ‘virus’ on. They made up an IP on the spot, claiming it was my Windows 10 PC. When I mentioned I work in software engineering, they just hung up on me…

Same here, got a woman on the line with a strong accent, you could hear the typical call centre buzz in the back. She claimed to be from the Windows tech support team. Told her straight it was a scam, but she wouldn’t drop it. Told her she might want to look for a proper job instead. Ended the call right there. Totally a scam, definitely block it.

Got a really irritating phone call from someone pretending to be Microsoft or Windows. They kept saying it was something to do with my laptop or computer. I told them I had neither, which is true, but she insisted that I did. It’s pretty obvious it’s a scam, since I don’t own any kind of computer at all.

Had an Indian guy ring me up like 4 times over a couple days, claiming he was from Microsoft. Said my PC was hacked and asked me to open some 'notifications' to stop it. I told him it sounded dodgy and he actually passed me on to his 'supervisor'! Couldn't understand much of what they said either. Microsoft definitely doesn’t do cold calls like that. They were pretty pushy about it all.

Checked the official Microsoft site afterwards and it clearly says they won’t ever ring you up like that. Definitely dodgy.

Got a call from someone who said they were from "Windows Official," told me my computer had issues linked to their server. When I asked where this server was, they wouldn’t say. The lady, called Jennifer, hung up after I kept asking if she actually worked for Microsoft. Both callers had a distinct eastern accent, which made me even more suspicious.

Was a bloke with the usual Asian accent, said he was from Microsoft. I told him to stop the spiel and just say what the scam was about, cause Microsoft never calls out of the blue saying your PC's got issues. He didn't take that well and just hung up.

I got a phone call from someone with an Indian accent who kept insisting she was Mariam. She claimed to be from Windows IT Support. When I said I wasn’t sure I believed her, she really pushed back. She wanted to know when I last used my PC, but I was hesitant to share anything as I suspected it was a scam. Then she surprised me by repeating my full name and address perfectly. That’s when I decided to just hang up.
