Got a call earlier today from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, asking me to confirm I was the primary user of my computer. I said, "what’s a computer?" then thought about it and remembered I actually do have one. So I told him I was using an abacus computer, version 2. The cheeky bloke just ended the call right after that.

Some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft rang me up, spouting the usual nonsense and cutting me off whenever I tried to speak. When I used the word ‘rubbish’ while saying I’d need to have his details checked by real tech support, he actually reprimanded me for it. Then he warned me I’d regret how I talked to him. Not long after, he told me to f*** off. I hung up straight away. Absolutely awful experience, I’ll be reporting it.

Got a call at 8.16 this morning from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming he was from Microsoft in Reading. He said hackers had got into my PC and were using it for betting and gambling. Asked me to run a command to give access. I've had these calls before, it's a total scam. Don’t fall for it, just report it on the Action Fraud site.

Phone rang Saturday arvo. My missus picked up and said she had no computer at home. Then she ended the call. She told me it was someone from Microsoft. That number now blocked on my phone. Problem is, they just switch to another number and call again. Once got a call from an Indian bloke who said he was ringing from London. I asked, “London, Bombay?” He said yes, as if nodding right there. Quite funny really.

I've received three calls in the past couple of days from this number. It's rather frustrating, isn't it? I can't help but wonder why our telecom providers, specifically Virgin in this instance, aren't able to sift through and block these scam calls that are already flagged in their system. It's about time they got their act together!

I just had a rather peculiar phone call from this number. The person on the line claimed to be representing Microsoft. When I mentioned that I didn’t own a computer, he kept pushing, suggesting that I might have a laptop instead. After I clarified that I didn’t possess one either, he abruptly cut off the conversation. Quite the cheeky fellow!

Got a call today at 3:55pm from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying there was something wrong with my computer. Ive had these sorts of calls before, so I just told her I knew it was a scam, called her a lying cheat and a few other names, then hung up.

Got a call from a lady with an Asian accent, saying she was from Microsoft. She even knew my last name, which was odd. She said my computer was leaking loads of info to their servers. I told her that couldn’t be true since I don’t use Windows at all, so none of the Microsoft stuff would be on my machine. She hung up pretty quick after that, probably didn’t know what to say next.

I told him my IT bloke had just looked at it, so if there was a problem, he should just email me details and I’d sort it out. That seemed to really wind him up, he swore at me and said he didn’t have time to send emails. I just said cheers and goodbye.
