I keep receiving calls from this number, claiming there's an issue with my computer. Today alone, the caller tried six times and got rather aggressive. It's frustrating-why can’t we put an end to these nuisance calls?

I received an unexpected call on my home phone, and judging by the call history, it seems they've tried getting through several times previously when I wasn't around. The chap on the other end had an Asian accent, claiming to address some technical problem with my computer. I firmly instructed him to cease speaking and not to ring me again.

the most annoying thing was just dead silence, then this overly happy voice suddenly says “goodbye” - and yeah, it was all caught on recording!

Got another one of those prerecorded calls this morning, second time now, with that upbeat voice just saying "Goodbye". Quite odd!

I just let it go to voicemail and the caller ended the call. Could be time-wasters or even scammers. Better not to pick up when this number rings.

I got a call from a bloke saying there was an issue with my computer. I said it wasn’t even switched on. Then he told me to turn it on so he could fix a few things with me. I told him I wasn’t going to do that and said I suspected it was a scam and I’d be reporting him. He started getting quite rude, so I just hung up. He called me right back and said I could report him if I wanted, but he’d keep ringing me every hour. Honestly, I’m feeling really scared and annoyed by these kinds of calls.

I got a call from some guy called David who had an Indian accent. He told me that my computer was full of viruses and that I needed to turn it on so he could help remove them. I told him I wasn’t interested and hung up straight away. Be careful with these sorts, they want to get into your PC and it’s really risky!!

This number rang me up saying there was something wrong with my computer or laptop. I told them everything was working perfectly, but they kept pushing. I told them I thought it was a con and that I’d looked the number up online, which confirmed it was a scam. They got annoyed and ended the call quickly. Glad to see them off, but I do worry about older or more trusting folks who might fall for it.

I receive calls from these individuals on a daily basis, claiming there's an issue with my computer. Today, the chap was particularly adamant that his own family receives similar calls. If that's the case, I'm rather puzzled as to why he hasn't resolved their supposed problems! It's baffling how these con artists continue to operate without consequence. Is there any way we can put a stop to this nonsense?

Got a call from some scam lot trying to get into my computer. I had a right go at them and it really ruffled their feathers. Seriously, these people need to be caught and put away. It’s mad how these scams keep popping up on UK phone numbers.

Been getting calls from people with Indian accents named Jennifer, James, and Calvin for the last few days, all saying there's an issue with my computer. They even said their own families get these calls too. If it’s a real problem, why don’t they just sort out their own family computers? Definitely a total scam in my opinion.

I just got a call from 01243 262274, some bloke asking for someone with a Windows PC. I told him he had the wrong place and he just cut off. I’m putting this number in my phone under ‘PC SCAM’ so next time they ring I can just block it. Funny enough, they’ve just called back while I’m writing this! Why can’t these lot find real jobs?

Ever since 6th June, I've had four calls from this number. Most times, there's just silence for a bit before they hang up with a quick "goodbye." But today was different - a bloke answered, saying he was from Windows IT and worried about my computer. I was straight up and told him I wasn't buying it. When I asked where he was ringing from, he mentioned some spot in Manchester Business Park, but that doesn’t fit with the 01243 area code. I get that calls can be routed weirdly and dodgy folks are out there, but seriously, why can't they just be blocked completely?

I keep getting calls like this all the time. I don’t even use Windows, I’m on a Mac, and I’m pretty quick at spotting scams. Still, today when I nicely said, “No thanks, not interested,” the person on the other end snapped back with, “Shut up, lady, you’re a b****!” I’ve tried loads of ways to block these annoying calls but they never stop. It’s bad enough being interrupted several times a day, sometimes up to five or six calls, but getting insulted as well is just beyond frustrating. We really shouldn’t have to deal with this rubbish in our own homes.

The guy on the phone sounded so convincing, talking about my laptop like he knew everything. But when he started asking for cash, I got suspicious. I quickly grabbed my iPad and searched the number, and sure enough, it was a scam. I have no idea if he got any of my personal info, but I didn’t wait around - I changed all my bank details right away! Can't believe I let myself be so easy to trick!

This number 01243 262274 has been ringing me non stop, like today at 8:15! The person on the line kept going on about my computer having issues. I told him he was trying to scam me, but he insisted there was a problem with my device. Could hear a call centre buzzing in the background and the bloke sounded Indian. I even told him I don’t own a computer! He then threw in something about my IP address showing errors. Eventually, I just ended the call. Also, for weeks now, I get either silent calls or an automated hangup. I've reported it but they don't seem to stop at all! Proper annoying.

Around 11 in the morning, I got a call claiming my Windows PC was showing error alerts I'd supposedly mentioned. I told them I actually run UNIX stuff, and they swore at me, calling me a "f#####g !iar". I just said goodbye and ended the call. Then, for like ten minutes afterwards, they kept ringing me back, about 8 more times.

Got a call from what sounded like an Indian scammer, trying to trick me into downloading some dodgy software for my computer. When I just had a laugh and didn’t take them seriously, they called me back about five times, swearing and making horrible threats about my daughter. The number they used came up as ‘out of service’ on BT’s system, so I’m pretty sure it was a fake VOIP line.

This number has been ringing me incessantly. When I finally picked up, it turned out to be a robotic voice from a tech company, and I made it clear I wasn’t interested. Yet, they persist in calling back. It’s plainly a scam, and I wonder why nothing can be done to put a stop to them-someone out there might be swayed into falling for their ruse. It's absolutely infuriating!

For the last couple of months, I've been getting calls from 01243262274, sometimes three times daily. The person on the other end claimed there was an issue with my computer. I told them I'd reported the nuisance to both TPS and Ofcom, but they just brushed it off, saying they weren't bothered by those organisations.

Got a call from someone pretending to be from the Microsoft tech team, telling me my computer was infected with malware. I told them to sod off pretty quickly. Then I rang up Microsoft myself and they confirmed it’s definitely a scam. They also said to report it on their website because they're cracking down on these fraudsters, especially ones trying to put ransomware on your machine.

Got a call today from someone claiming there was an issue with my computer. When I told them I don’t even have a computer, they started calling me names, saying I couldn’t afford one or internet. Bit strange since they were calling me, right? Then I mentioned I’d be taking legal steps, and they said I wouldn’t be able to afford that either. Even after I said my daughter’s a lawyer, they reckoned she’d charge me a fortune. They also warned me if I went to the police, I’d be hit with hefty fees. I’m thinking next time I’ll keep a whistle next to the phone just in case!

Just got a call from this lot around 10.45 this morning. The call was pretty much what others here have mentioned. If you get one too, I’d recommend doing what I did when I got a call from a Chichester number a week back - contact the Police Action Fraud team on 0300 123 2040 and let them know. There might be a bit of a wait on the line, but the more reports they get, the better the chance something will be done about these scammers.

They've phoned me three times in just over four days claiming there's an issue with my computer. I’ve made it clear that I've no computer at all! I'm onto their little game, but I can't help but worry that someone less savvy might fall for their trickery. It's high time these scoundrels were put in their place. And honestly, how on earth did they manage to get hold of my number in the first instance?

This number kept calling me loads over the past few days, even though I never picked up. Every time I tried checking if my line was busy with 1471, they’d call back within minutes. Proper annoying! When I finally told them they were scammers (cos Microsoft or Windows wouldn't ring me out of the blue - they don't have my contact info), they got all defensive and rude. I just found it hilarious how quickly they dropped the call after that!

So, this guy named Rick rang me up, talkin' with a really thick Asian accent that made him proper hard to understand. He kept saying I had some sort of issue, but no matter how many times I said no, he just wouldn’t listen. At the end, out of nowhere, he told me to go to hell! The number showed up on my phone, but guess what? When I tried to ring him back, I just got that annoying ‘number not available’ message. Typical!

Got a call about my computer today around 9.18, sounded a lot like the one I got two days back from 01243262274. This time though, there was loads of noise like from a busy spot in the background. When I tried 1471, it just said the number was blocked or something. Weird!

I got a call from this number claiming my Windows OS was letting viruses into my laptop. But as far as I know, Windows themselves never ring you up about that, they just send updates if something’s wrong. I’d just bought a new PC and signed it up with Microsoft, so I asked them to confirm the model I’d registered and answer a couple of security questions, but they kept insisting it wasn’t needed. Pretty sure this was a total scam attempt.

This number keeps ringing me and I noticed it called again around half eleven today. I didn’t answer right away, just waited for the person to speak first. They never asked for me but claimed to be from Windows, saying there was a problem with my computer! Felt a bit dodgy straight away so I told them I don’t even own a computer! The caller got annoyed and kept saying there was a fault, so I snapped back saying no computers live here and ended the call abruptly.
