I've tried calling multiple times, yet not once have I received a voicemail. What a mystery!

I received a phone call purporting to be from the Microsoft Technical Support team, insisting that my computer had been compromised. They wanted me to adhere to some questionable guidance and install a peculiar application. I've promptly blocked the number!

Got a call supposedly from Microsoft about my PC. They even knew my name, which seemed a bit off. Felt like a scam to me, so I just ended the call nicely.

Got a call this morning about 10:18 from a woman who sounded like she had an Indian accent. She claimed to be with Microsoft Windows and said my computer had loads of errors. I asked her how she even got through my security checks and explained the call was being recorded. After that, she just started swearing at me and told me to go ahead anyway. Then she just ended the call out of the blue!

Got a dodgy call from someone pretending to be Microsoft, think it’s the same scam that’s been going round since like 2006 or so. They just won’t stop ringing up out of the blue. Total nuisance!

So these scammers called, claiming they were from Microsoft, wanting to get into my computer. I’m actually a computer tech, so I just told them to buzz off.

Some bloke rang saying he was from Microsoft. I mentioned they owed me cash from a while ago, and he quickly said they weren’t that company. When I told him my number was on the TPS, he said he’d remove me from their debtor list. I had to remind him it’s them who owe me, not the other way round!

Got a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft. When I told them I'd ring my mobile company to verify if there was an issue, they got all hostile and insisted I had to go to Reading. They already knew my name and address, which was pretty creepy.

GOT A RING FROM THIS NUMBER CLAIMING TO BE VIRGIN MEDIA TECH SUPPORT. THEY SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY INTERNET AND ASKED IF I USED A PC OR A LAPTOP. THEN, OUT OF NOWHERE, THEY ENDED THE CALL AFTER A LITTLE BIT. FEELS REALLY SKETCHY TO ME - LOOKS LIKE A TOTAL SCAM!

I answered my home phone and as soon as I hung up, I figured it was probably just another scam call.
