10 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Microsoft, definitely a scam. If you want to stop these annoying calls, you can go to [spam website] and sign up there with your info.Microsoft10 yearsI got a phone call recently but I’m always cautious now after getting scammed about a year ago. The people said they were from tech support, using the name of a well-known legit company. They somehow got into my computer, locked it, and then charged me an absolute fortune to unlock it. Never falling for that trick again! I should’ve just taken my PC to a proper shop like PC World to fix it. When I tried to get my money back from the bank, they said it was an authorised payment so I was out of luck with the £300. Makes me so angry, especially since I’m on disability benefits - that loss caused me real stress. These scammers should be caught and put away for good. Honestly, they’re the worst.PC World10 yearsLooks like one of those event viewer scams. If you google "evenvwr scam" you'll find loads of info explaining how the whole thing works.10 yearsso this guy was saying something about "computer secutiry" and wanted me to open the event viewer. he kept insisting the stuff in the logs was serious and offered to fix it by logging into their server. i ended up chatting with him for more than 5 minutes, at least they weren’t trying to trick some elderly person clueless about tech. once i finally hung up, he rang back straight away wanting to know why i’d ended the call.10 yearsThey rang me thrice. I ended the call straight away the first time, the second time the bloke sounded proper cheeky, and then the third I just cut it off without saying a word.10 yearsJust like others said, they tried getting into my computer then cut off. But then they called back four times straight, sounding really pushy. When I asked for his phone number, he gave me a completely different one. Proper shady behaviour.10 yearsI think this number got used by some scammers pretending to be legit. They've switched it up now though.10 yearsThis morning, I got a phone call from this number but it ended before anyone said anything. I’m really tired of all these annoying calls lately - feels like they're more frequent than the real ones I want to pick up.10 yearsGot a call from this number and it was just another sales pitch, exactly what I expected. They kept going on about some deal I never asked for. After a few times, I just blocked it. Nothing new, just the usual annoying telemarketer stuff. Don’t waste your time with it!10 yearsI just blocked that number.10 yearsHad a phonecall from a man with a thick Asian accent claiming there was an issue involving a John Thomson and a Peter Jones from Texas hacking into my PC. He was trying to scare me into turning my computer on straight away. He wouldn’t let me speak and kept talking right over me. He phoned my home number but couldn’t explain how he got it. I rang his number back but it was constantly busy. He said he was with Microsoft and worked for Windows support. Honestly, seemed really fishy to me.John ThomsonPeter JonesTexasWindowsMicrosoft10 yearsI keep getting calls that just drop as soon as I pick up. I'm registered with the TPS but it doesn’t seem to stop these annoying calls at all. Really frustrating!TPS10 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, like multiple times every day. It’s really annoying. Luckily, I’ve got caller ID on my home phone now, so I just ignore it.10 yearsOn Friday, I got a call from this lot and just hung up straight away. Then he called again sounding all smug, so I told him I was on to their game. They try to get you to let them use TeamViewer on your PC so they can have a nose at your info, and then try to charge you for some software install. Whatever they reckon they can blag that day. I was almost caught out by something similar a couple of years back.10 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy who told me that a John Parkes from Texas is constantly emailing me. He sounded like he was right next to my computer. I told him I wasn't at home and he said he’d call again. I’ve blocked the number now - it’s 01259761824. Just a heads up.John ParkesTexas10 yearsIn the last 30 minutes, this number has buzzed my landline like 3 times. Every time I answer, there’s complete silence, so I just end up hanging up. Bit annoying, really.10 yearsI've had this number call me a few times now, always saying there's an issue with my computer. The last time, my partner asked the person on the phone if they felt any guilt for what they were doing, and then the caller just hung up! Seriously, beware of these con artists!10 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an accent, kept telling me my computer had issues. He mentioned some John Thompson fella from Texas was apparently trying to hack into my laptop or something!John ThompsonTexas10 yearsThe phone rang a few times, I picked up but there was nobody on the other end. Strange!10 yearsThis number rang me earlier today, but when I picked up, there was just dead silence and then they quickly ended the call. Seems like the same sort of thing happened to me.10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were tech support, maybe Microsoft, about a problem with my “windows computer”. Total scam, since I never gave them any info and there’s no computer linked to my number. These types of calls just assume everyone has a PC. They have zero way of knowing if your device is even infected, so none of it’s legit. I actually got annoyed because the guy was cheeky enough to call me “love” - definitely not on!Microsoft10 yearsSome bloke rang me, said he was from Microsoft support and told me my PC was infected with a virus. Classic trick to fool people who aren’t clued up about computers into handing over control to crooks. There’s no way they can really know anything about your machine. Best thing is just to block the number or simply don’t pick up when they ring.Microsoft10 yearsthis number has rung me twice now, and each occasion there was nobody on the line when I picked up. at first, I wasn't sure about the area code, even though it looked legit, so I just let it ring out. then they called again today, with the same silence, so I decided to block it. I looked up the code here and saw it’s from alloa - bit odd cos I’ve no contacts there. glad I stopped it from coming through.Alloa10 yearsSomeone calling from this number claimed to be with Microsoft, saying my email was being used fraudulently over in America. The caller had an Asian accent and kept ringing back even after I hung up. Honestly, I’m quite confused about what to think of the whole thing.MicrosoftStates10 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, but they just dropped the line straight away when I picked up. Can't stand these annoying calls even with the TPS in place.10 yearsGot a bothersome call earlier, and when I answered, there was complete silence before the line just cut off. The area code shows it’s from Alloa in Scotland, but I’ve got no connections there at all.AlloaScotland10 yearsThis same number called me today as well. I don’t know anyone from Alloa at all either.AlloaSubmit Your Own Report (01259 761824)
