Received calls two days straight from someone saying they were from Microsoft, but it sounded dodgy so I just blocked the number. Definitely a scam attempt.

Just like every other time, some bloke with an Asian accent called, saying he was from Microsoft and told me to jump on my computer immediately. When I asked him why he didn’t just earn money the right way instead of tricking folks, he sounded proper annoyed, like I’d offended him or something.

Got another call today at about 10.46am on my home phone, same scammers ringing me twice this morning. Some guy with an accent, said his name was Alex and claimed he was from Microsoft. I was in the middle of something so just told him to get lost and ended the call sharpish. If I’d been free, I’d have kept him chatting and wasted his time instead!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from "Microsoft". I was just about to have my lunch, so I didn't want to mess about wasting his time. I asked him straight if this was one of those scams trying to get me to give access to my computer. He insisted Microsoft does call people, asked me to prove otherwise. I told him to look it up on Google, then ended the call since my food was waiting. For the next while, he rang me about 20 times. I picked up each time but stayed silent, could tell he was getting frustrated. Eventually, he gave up and hasn’t called back since.

So this guy with an Asian accent called me, said his name was Eric and that he worked for Microsoft. I said, "Alright, let’s see if you can pass a few security questions." He just threw out some random stuff, but when I asked where he was ringing from, he hesitated. Claimed he was in Manchester, but the number showed Chelmsford. I told him he’d failed the test and hung up. Gotta admit, messing around with these scammers is kinda entertaining!

On Wednesday just after 3 in the afternoon, I got a call on my home phone from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying there was some issue with my internet. I always let these SCAM calls drag on without giving anything away, and so I did again. Eventually, I told him my goal was to keep him on the line for as long as possible. Funny enough, he just ended up hanging up on me! I’ve taken to saying these scammers should have to pass some security questions before I tell them a single thing. Love throwing it back at them like that!

The caller never left a message, but after reading everyone’s posts, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number. Cheers for the heads up!

I got a call from a guy named Eric, sounded Asian, claiming he was with Microsoft saying there was an issue with my PC. I said I don’t even use Microsoft so it must be some kind of scam and he got rude with me. I told him I’d report him to the ICO and hung up. After that, he rang me back three times in about five minutes but I ignored all of them.

I got a ring from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was calling from Microsoft about issues with my computer. I told him straight up that I don’t even own one. Then he accused me of not telling the truth! I told him to take me off whatever list he had and just ended the call. No doubt, this was a dodgy scam call.

This number has called me three times over the past couple of days. The initial time, as soon as I picked up, the caller just dropped the line. About 40 minutes later, they called again, but I chose not to pick up, and no message was left. Today, I answered their call, and a man with an Asian accent claimed to be Eric from Microsoft. Because I’ve dealt with so many scam calls like this, I knew it was fake and ended the call straight away. I tried looking into reporting it to the TPS and Action Fraud, but it seems like this kind of thing doesn’t really fall under their usual cases!

Got another call from an Asian guy named Eric, said he was with Microsoft. He ended up swearing loads and talking really nasty. This is already the third time this week that number’s popped up!

This number keeps ringing me and I told them today to remove me from their list, which I've asked before. The bloke then shouted some swear words like "MF!" Is there any chance to track who this is? I'm thinking if it’s even worth reporting it.

Over the past couple of days, I’ve gotten four calls from the number 01245798964. The person claimed to be from BT and asked if I realised my computer was really slow. I told them I don’t even own a computer, but they accused me of lying. I wasn’t having any of it, told them off a bit, then ended the call. They’ve still phoned me twice more today. Watch out for this number!

This number called me earlier but hung up just as I picked up. Got another call quite recently from them pretending to be Virgin Media, trying the same old spiel.

Got a call from an Asian bloke who said his name was 'Jason'. Can't remember the company he mentioned, but he went on about "your computer's been hacked" stuff. He asked me to turn it on, so I just ignored him on the line and he ended up hanging up after a few minutes.

Got a ring around 3pm from a bloke with an Asian accent who said his name was Alec Jones and claimed he was from Microsoft. He reckoned there was an issue with my computer and offered to fix it, asking for some details. I told him a bit, then outta nowhere he started threatening me.

I got those very same calls too. At one point I left him on hold for about 15 mins and he ended the call, but then he rang me again. I told him straight up I knew he was trying to scam me, and he asked if I had a daughter. Such a nasty person, he really should be stopped. I told him exactly what I thought of him, then he hung up.

Be wary of this number; it’s associated with scammers. They’ll claim to be representatives from Microsoft, intending to trick you into granting them remote access to your computer. Once they’re in, they either exploit your personal information or lock you out, demanding payment for you to regain access. Steer clear of these con artists at all costs!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was working for Microsoft, said something about my computer. Thing is, I only use an iPad, no computer at all! When I told him that, he accused me of lying and I just ended the call. This was the second dodgy call I’ve had in about a week, so I reckon it's a scam, watch out everyone.
