Reports on phone number 01245790982
2 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy saying he was with some investment firm promising big returns. When I asked him how he even found my number, he mumbled a bit and then just cut the call. Bit odd, really.2 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, saying they knew my name and were talking about issues with my laptop and computer. I quickly said I wasn’t interested and hung up. Funny enough, I’d just been on my tablet right before the call. It really makes me uneasy that these scammers might have some kind of info about what I’m doing.2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent who already knew my name. She said there was a problem with my internet and laptop. I told her I don’t even own a laptop and then just ended the call. Definitely a scam.2 yearsSo I got a call really early, like 7 in the morning, and the person actually knew my name. They claimed to be from Microsoft or something and said my laptop had a big issue. I wasn’t having any of it and told them to quit calling me. I hung up. Then, no joke, they called me back less than 10 seconds later. I ignored the call and blocked the number straight away.2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent who said her name was Jennifer. She claimed to be from Microsoft and warned that in 30 minutes my laptop would get shut down and all my data would be gone. I told her straight away it sounded like a scam and I wasn’t having it. As soon as I ended the call, she rang back right away, insisting it was not a scam and that I’d lose everything soon if she didn’t assist me. I told her once more it was clearly a con, said no thanks, and hung up again.JenniferWindows2 yearsToday I got calls over and over from this arrogant bloke from India, really annoying ####.2 yearsGot a call from this number saying there was a problem with my laptop security, supposedly from Microsoft. Total scam, don’t fall for it!Microsoft2 yearsGot calls from 01245790982 and it’s been a nightmare. When my wife picked up, the caller was rude and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Even after she made it clear she wasn’t interested and hung up, the caller kept calling back nonstop until I had to physically unplug the phone. I’m currently trying to recover after a hospital stay where I went through 4 cardiac arrests, so the last thing I need is this kind of hassle.Caller2 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were with Windows. Total scam, without a doubt.2 yearsI received a phone call from a woman with a foreign accent who was incredibly insistent, claiming to represent Windows.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Microsoft and told me to open a certain page on my computer to show it was hacked. Then they wanted me to do some steps to fix and secure it. I hung up three times but they kept calling back right after, saying it was an urgent problem. Only when I asked them for a number to ring back did they hesitate. Sounded proper professional, like a fancy call centre. I ended the call before following any of their so-called tech support instructions. Definitely watch out, as someone less wary might’ve fallen for it.2 yearsGot two calls from this number in under 10 minutes and never picked up. Felt a bit dodgy so I looked it up here before blocking it straight away. Both times, no voicemail or anything left.2 yearsGot a call from 01245790982, they rang a few times but didn’t say anything and then just ended it. I've blocked the number now.2 yearsI had a rather dubious phone call just now. When I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end, which makes me think it might be a spammer. Quite odd, really!2 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent who already knew my name. She started chatting about some investment scheme or something. I didn’t bother and just ended the call - total scammer, I’m sure.2 yearsI received a call today from 01245 790982, and I'm quite convinced it's one of those nuisance callers.2 yearsSeems like this company might have flagged my number as suspicious or something, cause when they called, the phone rang once, a voice started shouting nonsense, then it just dropped. Haven't had any of those scammy robot calls bothering me in ages! Honestly, the stuff they say cracks me up. If you’re not clued up on tech, best to just ignore them, but for folks like me, a retired IT guy, it’s a bit of a laugh messing around with ’em!2 yearsGot another call from someone speaking an Asian language, so I reckon it's another scam.2 yearsLooks like a scammer from India calling. Be careful!India2 yearsSo this bloke rings me up out of the blue and already knows my name. Starts chatting about some investment deal promising a crazy 34% return. He says another mate will call me soon with all the info. Suggested I pick a code word to be sure the call was real when they rang next time. I gave him "SCAM" as my code word. That didn’t go down well - he got really offensive, so I just hung up. He tried calling straight back but I just blocked the number. 100% a scam, no doubt about it.2 yearsGot a dodgy call saying there was something wrong with the Windows on my PC. I’m no fool, so I just ended the call straight away. Definitely a scammer trying their luck.2 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking with an Indian accent, saying there was some issue with my laptop. I told her I don’t even own a laptop. She tried to switch it to my computer, but I said I don’t have one of those either. She hung up pretty quickly after that. Sounds like a total scam to me.2 yearsJust got a dodgy phone call from someone claiming to be from an IT support team. She wouldn’t tell me what company she was with but somehow already had my name and address. Definitely be careful with these. When I asked her for the company name she hung up straight away.2 yearsMy dad's PC got hit with some nasty malware, and then they called up asking for money to fix it.2 yearsThis kind of scam has been around since pretty much the early days of the web. If you’ve got good security on your phone or computer, it’ll usually warn you if some dodgy software tries to install itself. I’ve been using Norton 360, not cheap but simple to get the hang of once you know how the big updates operate - they have a bunch of smaller ones all the time though! There’s free antivirus tools out there, but honestly, you gotta be pretty tech-savvy to use them properly. If you come across scam calls or numbers, you can text the details to 7726 and help others avoid the mess.Norton2 yearsGot a call today at 8.36 am from an Asian woman claiming to be from Windows. She told me my computer had a virus. I just hung up, but she rang me back again. Weirdly, she even knew where I lived.2 yearsI've had loads of calls from people pretending to be Windows support, saying there's some big security issue with my PC. They kept pushing really hard like they were trying to trick me or hack my machine or something. Proper annoying!2 yearsGot a call from someone with an asian accent, saying they were from Microsoft security and that every computer in my house was hacked! They seemed pretty happy to chat for a bit, but the moment I asked what script they were reading off, they just suddenly ended the call. Total scammer, obviously.Microsoft2 yearsI had a call from an unknown number but no voicemail was left, which is pretty frustrating. Even though I'm signed up with BT call protect and the TPS, these annoying cold callers just keep phoning me without my permission! My blocked numbers list was already maxed out with over 50, so I had to clear some space just to add this one. I've tried reporting them to BT and TPS but it seems like nothing ever changes!BT Call ProtectTelephone Preference ServiceBTTPS2 yearsI hung up, but then they called back right away - seemed like some kind of window support or something.2 yearsSomeone rang claiming to be from Microsoft support or something like that.2 yearsGot a call supposedly from "Windows Support" trying to scam me. I told them I don’t even own a computer or laptop, but they just wouldn’t give up! So annoying!2 yearsHad this woman on the phone with a weird accent saying she was from Microsoft. Kept telling me my computer was riddled with viruses and tried to get me to follow some dodgy steps. It definitely sounded like she had a script to stick to. I told her I wasn’t even near my laptop, just chilling with a cuppa, but she still kept pushing. Proper fishy call if you ask me.Microsoft2 yearsThis number called me, and a lady with an Indian accent asked if I was someone with my surname. I just asked who she was. She claimed to be from the Windows technical support team. I quickly said no thanks, not interested, and hung up. I knew straight away it was some kind of scam. Then my landline rang once more right after, and I was certain it was her trying again, so I ignored the call.2 yearsThis bloke kept ringing me, saying he was from Microsoft. Seemed fishy straight away, felt like a proper scam. No matter what I said, he just wouldn’t give up!Microsoft2 yearsGot a call this morning before 9, no message or anything, just a bother really.Submit Your Own Report (01245 790982)
