8 yearsGot a call from a guy who sounded Indian, said there was malware on my computer. I asked him to send me something in writing and then just ended the call. He called me back immediately, so I cut him off again.8 yearsI got a call from a woman who said she was from Microsoft, telling me there was an issue with Windows on my PC and that my phone number was linked to the registration. Obviously, that was a load of rubbish, so I realised it was a scam right away. She didn't seem pleased that I wasn't fooled and continued to try and convince me there was a problem. Watch out for calls like this - they’re just trying to mess with your computer if you own one.Microsoft8 yearsI think it’s best to inform the police about this, especially since it involves a mother with a 12-year-old kid.8 yearsGot a call at 8.43, I answered with a quick hello but then the line just cut off. This has happened a few times now. Why won't the officials step in and do something about these scam calls? Surely they can trace the origin of the call, whether it’s a person or a place. It’s proper disgraceful!8 yearsOn Saturday morning, I picked up and there was no one there, just silence. Then suddenly, a recorded voice said goodbye. What a cheeky lot!8 yearsI was finally looking forward to a proper lie-in on a Saturday morning, but this number just rang me up at half past seven! It’s been buzzing me loads all day now. Tried to ring back but it won’t connect. Does anyone know how to block these annoying calls or report them? It’s really getting on my nerves.8 yearsJust got a call like that, there was nothing but heavy breathing on the other end. I kept saying hello multiple times and then some robot voice said goodbye. What a rude scam!8 yearsThis number rang me earlier, and there was a bloke on the line with a strong Indian accent calling himself Mark. I played the fool for about 15 minutes, acting like I knew nothing about computers. He wanted me to hit the Windows key plus the 'r' key together. After a while, I got fed up and gave him a proper piece of my mind, telling him exactly what I thought of his nonsense. Not surprisingly, he ended up hanging up!Mark8 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming my PC was in danger and said I should switch it on straight away so he could help fix it. When I questioned why he was trying to pull this scam, he started getting really rude, dropped a few swear words and even called me a mother f****r before hanging up. Over the next hour, I got three more rings from numbers that looked alike but no one answered. Seriously, why isn't there a proper government body cracking down on these fraudsters and taking them to court? Using 1471 showed the number was 01228408987.8 yearsThey claimed to be from Microsoft and insisted I had to look into some alleged hacking issues on my device. They wanted me to boot up my computer so they could guide me through the steps. I informed them, however, that I simply didn’t have the time for that!Microsoft8 yearsAbsolutely fraudulent outfit - they phoned claiming to be from "Windows," insisting that my computer was infected with a virus. I had a bit of fun with them last Friday, but ever since, I've been bombarded with incessant silent calls coming from their end.8 yearsgot a call from someone saying they were from windows support, sounded fishy to me. they wanted me to log into my computer but i refused cause it seemed like a scam to steal my info. keep your guard up, folks!8 yearsI got a call where there was loads of noise in the background but I just stayed quiet and after a bit they just gave up and ended the call.8 yearsGot a call off this same number around 9.15 today.

Totally a scam, stay well clear like I did!8 yearsJust got a phone call from this number, some bloke saying he was with Microsoft. He told me my computer got hacked and wanted me to switch it on so he could "show me" something. I reckon he was gonna ask to control my PC remotely but I told him I wasn’t home. He said he’d ring back later. When I said I thought he was bogus and not from Microsoft, he denied it. I doubt he’ll ring me again, had similar calls before. Tried ringing the number back and it’s not even recognised. Watch out, folks, and don’t let these muppets get into your computer!Microsoft8 yearsI got a call saying my IP address was under attack or something like that, and to fix it, I had to log in and do what they said.
