Some guy, I think he was Indian, claimed he was from Microsoft security and asked me to show my PC system details and my unique software licence number. Then he got me to check my internet status and claimed loads of hackers were targeting me. I kept saying no even though he warned that Microsoft would deactivate my licence to stop the hacking spreading. I told him I’d rather take the risk and he just said thanks for wasting his and Microsoft’s time. He was trying to get me onto a remote desktop site. What a total conman. Why can’t the police just crack down on this rubbish?

Just like others mentioned, this was a complete rip-off. Some muppet phoned me pretending to be from the Microsoft Support crew but was going on about my Operating System Licence or something! Then he went on about loads of suspicious files on my PC! Said he was calling from the MS London branch, but when I asked for his full name, staff ID and his boss’s name, he got all nervous and just ended the call. BE WARNED - THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM.

Just like a few other folks have said here, I dont own a computer so i knew right away he wasnt legit. I ended up swearing at him a lot, and he swore right back at me. I finally told him how "professional" he was for calling from "Microsoft" before hanging up, haha.

Got a call from an Asian bloke claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer was hacked. I humoured him for a bit then flat out told him he was trying to scam me and I wouldn’t give any info. Afterwards, he just called me a f##king muppet and told me to f##k off. Reading some of the other comments, I don’t understand why this number is still allowed to be used.

I got a call from an Asian guy claiming he was from Microsoft, talking about my computer. He tried to convince me he was legit by offering to give me their licence number when I asked for proof. I told him that meant nothing to me since I couldn’t verify it myself. He kept pushing for me to turn my computer on. I said I wasn’t daft like he seemed to think, might’ve even told him off a bit cause I was fed up with these annoying calls, then just hung up.

Some bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft called me. Now when I hear that accent on the phone, I just put the receiver down and leave it off the hook for a few minutes until they give up. With all the recent fuss about chip problems, especially Intel but not only them, scammers are really active right now. If anyone says they're from Microsoft (or any company you don't already deal with) and asks about your PC, it's definitely a con. The phone companies really should’ve sorted this out ages ago, like how the tech world teams up to deal with bugs, spam, and viruses.

Got a call today saying my computer was at risk. Same sort of Asian accent. Told him I was on Linux and a Chromebook, then switched to Welsh to throw him off. He seemed to think I was some bloke who passed away 10 years back! He ended the call pretty quick. Not very believable but I guess some folks still fall for it, otherwise they wouldn’t keep trying, especially with caller ID showing up.

Was a bloke ringing me claiming he was from Microsoft, sounded Asian and had a proper thick accent. He wanted to speak to whoever owned the “Microsoft computer” or something daft like that. I knew straight away it was dodgy, so I played along, kept asking daft stuff like “which computer?” and “how do you even know I’ve got one?” He started getting flustered, then I told him to quit with the rubbish. Next thing he calls me a bloody motherf***er and just hangs up on me. Had me laughing all afternoon!

I was sure it was a scam so I played along, throwing silly questions like, “Which computer?

Got a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be Sophie from the Microsoft Security Team. Definitely a phishing attempt, so I just ended the call. Microsoft wouldn’t have my number anyway.

They rang me three times. First time I picked up, it sounded like it was coming from some call centre but no one said anything. When they called back the second and third time, they only asked about my computer before I just ended the call straight away every time.

Got a call at 9:30 in the morning from a bloke with an Indian accent. He claimed he was from Microsoft and wanted to talk about my Windows 10 PC. I cut him off quick, saying “you clearly don’t know me ‘cause I don’t even own a Windows machine!” Then I just ended the call!

Some bloke ringing up saying he was from Microsoft tech support, telling me my laptop was being hacked and he needed to send updates to fix it. I hung up right away, but he called back straight away, getting all shouty, saying 'You don't get it, I need to get into your PC to show you the hack and then send the updates.' I told him I’d report him to the UK fraud people.

They pretended to be from Microsoft. The guy went on about issues with our PC. When we told him we don’t even own a computer, he got annoyed, called us stupid and abruptly ended the call. These scammers should be tracked down, it only takes one vulnerable person to lose money to them.

Got a call claiming to be from Microsoft tech support, but I don’t even use their stuff, so I just ended the call right away. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.

This guy claimed he was from Microsoft, but when I told him I don’t even have a laptop, he just straight up called me a liar. Quite cheeky, if you ask me!

I got a call bright and early on Sunday at 8am, same thing happened again Monday at 8am. When I answered, it was just dead quiet, no one speaking on the other end.

Got a call, said it was from Microsoft - probably from India or somewhere like that. They rattled on about some virus on my computer and asked me to do some stuff. If I’m not busy, I enjoy wasting these scammers’ time. When I finally catch them out, they usually get rude and start throwing insults about my family. Always makes me chuckle :)

This morning at 7.18 I got a call from this number. The person was saying something about my computer, but I couldn't properly understand them. I told them straight up it sounded like a scam and asked if they even realised what time it was! So annoying! I’m in West Sussex, not sure if that makes a difference.
