7 yearsI was having a nice little snooze this afternoon, after getting up way too early today, when this number decided to ring me. The area code looked like it was from Aberdeen - a place I know well since I used to live not far from there back in the 70s. What’s odd is that’s miles away, like 530 miles, from where Microsoft’s office is in Reading. If I wasn’t half asleep, maybe I’d have played along for a bit, but when they mentioned Microsoft Corporation, I just lost it and said, “That’s rubbish” before slamming the phone down.AberdeenMicrosoftUKReadingMacMicrosoft Corporation7 yearsMy landline rang and a guy with an Indian accent asked if he was speaking to me. Then he claimed to be from Microsoft tech support. I cut him off right away, told him no way was he legit, and told him to buzz off. Typical scam call.Microsoft7 yearsI picked up and a bloke said he was from Microsoft, but then the line just went dead.Microsoft7 yearsGot back from shopping and saw this number missed a call but no voicemail or nothing. I don’t usually bother calling back if I don’t know the number, but I like to look them up here just to see who it might be. It’s always a different one though. Honestly, I’m fed up with all these calls!7 yearsGot a call from Michael. I just put the phone aside and let him ramble on alone.Michael7 yearsGot a missed call from this number that went straight to my voicemail, didn't even pick up. I usually just ignore calls like this. Blocked it now.7 yearsSo this guy, who claimed to be from Microsoft (yeah, right), called me. I told him to buzz off, and then he went on and told me to ‘f off’ as well! What a cheeky bloke.Microsoft7 yearsGot a call from a weird STD code, decided not to pick up. I steer clear of these scam calls now. Blocked the number straight away.7 yearsI saw I had a missed call but no message was left on the answering machine. Now I get why!7 yearsI picked up the home phone and all I could hear was weird sounds, then they just hung up on me.7 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent who said his name was 'Mark' and that he was from Microsoft. He reckoned my Windows computer was hacked, which was weird since I’m using a Mac. He wanted me to press Command R, but I told him it just reloads my browser, then he cut off pretty sharpish! Honestly, how come these scam calls keep going on like this? It's really frustrating.MarkMicrosoft7 yearsGot them chatting for nearly 11 minutes before they finally gave up. The bloke, sounded Asian, claimed to be calling from Microsoft in London, but the number they rang from had an Aberdeen area code, which was a bit dodgy. Had a laugh messing about with them, asking random questions ’cause they just stick to their script and can't handle being thrown off it. Proper amusing!MicrosoftLondonAberdeen7 yearsSome bloke rang me up saying something about my computer. I told him to stop harassing me, then he just lost it and shouted a bunch of foul language at me. Proper rude!7 yearsYet another scam call! Honestly, there needs to be tougher penalties for these people. If they faced up to 10 years behind bars, maybe they’d think twice before bothering anyone.7 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent or something, said he needed to chat about my computer. I told him I didn’t own a computer, then he asked about my laptop. Told him again, no laptop. He got angry, started swearing, and just cut me off. Proper rude.7 yearsYet another daft scammer pretending to be from Microsoft.
