Someone called me pretending to be from Microsoft, saying they'd block my laptop, tablet or PC if I didn't do what they said. Total scam.

Got a call that seemed fishy, and right away they triggered some kind of emergency alarm while we were talking. Definitely a scam.

Got a call from someone pretending to be from BT’s tech support, saying there was a problem with my internet. When I called them out on it, they just ended the call straight away. Definitely a scam.

Without a doubt, these are fraudsters acting as if they're from BT.

This bloke said he was from Sky and said he could sort out my internet speed. I told him I didn’t want any of it, and then he was all like “Seriously, ####?” That’s when I just shouted a lot of swear words down the phone at him!

Got a call from some centre saying they were Microsoft, trying to sort out some problem with my PC... they hung up pretty quick once they saw I wasn't falling for it.

Saw this number pop up but decided not to pick up. Heard it's one of those scam calls.

I tried ringing back after seeing a missed call from them, but all I got was a message saying calls to this number aren’t allowed.

Answered the call and then it just ended straight away. I've blocked that number now.

Got a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft tech support, the same old scam that’s been doing the rounds for ages.

I received a rather unexpected phone call from someone with a strong accent, presumably from the Indian subcontinent. The chap introduced himself as 'Robin Smith,' which I found quite amusing given the context. He was apparently phoning on behalf of "Microsoft Windows"-as if! Quite the cheeky attempt, if you ask me!

It seems I've been targeted by yet another dodgy caller from Asia, insisting they're with Microsoft. It's becoming all too common, isn’t it?

I chose not to pick up the call since, honestly, the only folks who ever ring my landline these days seem to be dodgy salespeople.

A lady reached out yesterday and then again today, claiming to represent BT. She mentioned something about my broadband supposedly being accessed by unauthorised individuals. Both times, I inquired about what actions she expected me to take in response to this. Each time, they promptly hung up on me.

I received a call from 01256231438 at precisely 10:14 on the 10th of October, 2023. I chose not to pick up and they didn’t leave any voicemail. Just four minutes later, I got another call from 03301900622. The number resembled one I was familiar with, so I answered it. The caller instantly knew my name, yet I didn’t acknowledge it and pressed them twice for their identity, only for the line to go silent. I can only surmise that these two calls are connected in some way and likely part of a scam attempt.

Got a call from someone claiming to work for Sky, telling me my internet speed was rubbish. They wanted me to run a speed test and said it could be improved, then told me to download some app. I paused and later found online that Sky don’t usually ring people out of the blue to check speed. Feels like a scam to me.

Got a call but no voicemail or anything. Looked up the number and yep, another scam. Blocked it straight away!

Heard a beep after a pause, then nothing. Definitely one of those automated dialers.

Every time I pick up the call, they hang up immediately. This number seems to be completely bogus.

Received a call claiming to be from Virgin Media regarding my internet service. It definitely had the vibe of a dodgy scam.
