7 yearsThis number has rung me twice claiming they’re from Microsoft and my PC was compromised. When I told them I wasn’t going to power up my computer for them, the guy got all cheeky, asking if I could fix it without even turning it on. Then I hinted maybe he’s the hacker, and they just ended the call. Honestly, that says everything!! Watch out, don’t get caught out!!!Microsoft8 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were from Waitrose and wanted to fix my computer problems. I just told them to find a proper job and actually do something that helps people.Waitrose8 yearsI just let the call go to voicemail and later looked up the number. Loads of sites say it’s a Microsoft scam, so I wouldn’t bother picking up if I were you. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it through BT’s scam blocking thing.MicrosoftBT8 yearsThese calls are dodgy, just ignore them. Some bloke claimed he was from Microsoft. I ended the call quickly so I wouldn’t come across as rude.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were with Microsoft. Definitely a scam, so I dodged it and blocked the number using BT Call Protect. Wouldn't trust it at all.Microsoft8 yearsNo voicemail or anything left. Did they try twice?8 yearsYesterday, my daughter got a call from a bloke who said his name was Harry Edward. She thought he was from Microsoft because that’s what he told her. He convinced her to download something called ‘helpdesk’ from Google which she did without thinking. Since then, our computer's completely buggered and won’t even start up. This morning, the same guy rang again asking for £10 to unlock it. I’ve reported the whole thing to the Police and Action Fraud. Total con! Everyone needs to watch out for these kinds of scams.Harry EdwardMicrosoftPoliceAction Fraud8 yearsI just let it go to voicemail, didn’t pick up.8 yearshow long do these idiots think people will buy this? microsoft doesn't do cold calls, it's a total scam and nobody falls for it anymore, honestly.Microsoft8 yearsSome bloke with a really mumbling voice called, saying he was from Microsoft and that I needed to turn on my computer so he could guide me through fixing some issue. The way he talked made me super suspicious, like he wasn’t legit at all. I ended up hanging up after just a couple of minutes.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft saying my PC was infected. When I asked for their contact, they gave me the real Microsoft number, but it wasn’t the number they were ringing from - that was the one I found reported here. I called back a few times and each time they warned me my computer was going to be locked!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (01236 750246)
