This widespread scam is well-documented and should be treated with extreme caution to avoid financial or data loss.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent, saying they were from Microsoft based in Leicester - though the number, starting with 01225, looks like it’s from Bath. They told me I was seriously at risk because hackers had broken into my computer and were doing terrible things. The guy tried to show me some stuff on my PC, but I’d switched it off the internet first. When he asked me to reconnect, I hesitated and shortly after the call ended, about 20 minutes later. Before I could even look up that number, they’d already tried ringing me four more times!

Got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft saying there was a problem with my PC. I told them I don’t even own a computer, which made them quiet for a moment. Then they asked if my last name was Evans - it’s not. I was curious how they found my number when I don’t have a computer. I’d heard about this scam before so just played along and said I didn’t have one. After that, they ended the call.

About half an hour ago, I got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. Right away, I was sceptical since I’m well aware of these scams. I asked them for a contact number, even though the one on my caller ID matched theirs. They gave me 18005438160, but when I looked it up, it only showed weird Chinese characters. Then I asked for a physical address and they said 207 Melton Road, Leicester LE46QT - which is actually the Hinkley & Rugby Building Society! They were oddly quick to provide details, almost pushy. To top it off, they called me by the name of someone who lived at that address and passed away over 16 years ago! They really should be stopped because some people might fall for this and give them access to their computers.

Last night, I got a call from this number from a guy with an Asian accent claiming there was something wrong with Windows on their server. I immediately thought it was dodgy since I’m running a Mac and even challenged him when he asked me to find certain keys on the keyboard - pretty clearly trying to see if it was a PC or Mac. I ended the call, but then about 20 minutes later, my desktop Mac switched itself on. My internet’s through cable and my phone isn’t connected at all, plus I didn't give them any info or even touch the computer (though my MacBook was on in the same room). Could they have hacked me somehow or is it just a strange coincidence?

In the past couple of days, I’ve got about six calls from this number. We didn’t pick up since we were away on holiday. Does anyone know how to block these calls? It’s really annoying.

This number has called me about six times this week, and it’s always a woman with an Asian accent saying she’s from Microsoft. I’ve stopped answering after the first few calls and just ended the call straight away. Tried to call back but it says the number doesn’t exist or can’t be found. Does anyone know how I can stop these annoying calls?

About two minutes back, I got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent. When I asked him what kind of cash he was after trying to rip me off with my PC, he didnt look too happy. He just kept on going with his spiel, so I ended the call.

Had a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support, droning on with the same rubbish script you hear all the time. They seemed annoyed when I told them I don’t even have a Windows key on my computer, just a little penguin one instead. Still, they pushed on with their spiel like it didn’t matter. Proper scam, that one.

Over the last couple of days, I got a bunch of calls - two yesterday and three just today. An Asian lady told me my computer was sending out virus-ridden messages using my Windows ID. I asked her who she was and why she’d bother helping me sort it out. She just kept repeating herself and then asked me to turn on my computer so she could point out the issues. When I pushed her for more info, she ended the call. But she rang me a couple more times this afternoon. No chance am I switching on my PC for her!

I got a call early on Saturday, like 8 in the morning, which was pretty irritating before they even said anything. It was a woman with an Asian accent, saying something about my computer. When I questioned her, she just ended the call straight away. They rang again today but I ignored it - somehow I reckon they’ll keep bugging me.

I got called three times by this bloke telling me to switch my computer on because there’s apparently a problem. The guy sounded Asian and kept ringing from 01225766466. It’s proper annoying!

So, I just got a ring from this number, and the lady on the other end was saying my computer was sending them some kind of harmful messages. She told me to turn my computer on and she’d help me fix it by walking me through some settings. Sounded a bit fishy to me, and she had an Asian accent. I told her no thank you and ended the call sharpish.

Got a ring from this number, which is actually nearby. The caller, with an Asian accent, said my computer was sending out evil messages. She wanted to know if I was the owner. I started to say I don't share info over the phone and before I finished, she just hung up. Said she was from PCC or something. Bet they'll be trying again with a different number soon enough!

Hey folks, just a heads up about a scam that seems to be going around everywhere. This week alone, I got two calls from the same number: 01225766466. Apparently, they also ring from 02034592077 here in the UK. They keep telling me my Windows computer has been hacked. The first time, I actually played along a bit, trying to figure out who they were and where they got my details from. Their insistence was mad - kept pushing so hard! What’s funny is, I don’t even use Windows on my PC. Then, they called again today. I told them I already had one of their scam calls this week and again, that I don’t have a Windows computer. They just ended the call immediately. Just be careful with these annoying calls and don’t get tricked by them!

Was a bit taken aback when the caller ID actually showed the number instead of being blocked, so I let the bloke talk for a bit. I’m on a 01743 Shrewsbury line. He told me to type eventvwr on my computer, but I quickly came up with a reason to get him to ring back another time. That was the end of that chat.

Got a call around half past nine tonight. They tried ringing me earlier too, but I didn’t pick up then. The person said it was some tech support team. It was a woman with a foreign accent, so I just ended the call.

Like others have said here, I've had a few calls this week from a persistent bloke, most recently tonight. He said I had to turn on my computer so he could fix issues caused by some illegal activity. When I refused and told him to stop bothering me, he started threatening, saying I'd lose everything on my PC in half an hour if I didn’t listen. He was pretty full of himself, even claiming to be from Microsoft when I asked. It's been more than 30 minutes now and my computer's fine, so I’m not gonna stress about it anymore.

Some bloke from India called me, threatening to lock my computer if I didn't do what he said. He got me to open the command prompt and then surprisingly read out my licence number spot on. Anyone got thoughts on this?

Got a couple of calls around 9.30 and 10pm from this annoying bloke claiming to be from Microsoft. When I told him he’d dialled the wrong number, he just kept talking over me. Sounds like he might be from Pakistan or somewhere. It’s really starting to get on my nerves!

I just got a call from a really pushy bloke saying he was from PC Expert. His accent was quite thick, sounded Indian, and he kept going on about some dodgy activity on my computer, claiming hackers might be using the cookies saved on it. He went on and on about that. I mentioned I don’t even own a computer, but he insisted I must be mistaken and that I should actually listen. He kept repeating something about a high security system connected to my Windows setup flagging illegal stuff on my device. He kept saying "your computer" and "inside the computer" probably a hundred times or more. I told him we don’t have anything like a Windows system here, but he just kept pestering me. I ended up throwing loads of questions about his company and website at him, and after a bit, he just hung up on me.

Loads of missed calls from this number, but I finally picked up today. The bloke on the line with a Pakistani accent claimed that someone at my place is downloading some dangerous viruses way worse than anything he’s seen. I told him I’m living by myself, and then he said he’s removing Microsoft from my netbook because it’s apparently downloading harmful stuff on its own. Is this for real or just a scam? Really need some advice before he tries calling again in a couple of hours!

Got a call tonight round 8.40pm on my home phone here in Oxon, and the person kept going on about how they've got 'proof' that my firewall’s been hacked. It felt dodgy to me, like a trick to grab personal details. I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of scam.
