9 yearsAs someone living with a disability, it's quite a challenge for me to reach the phone. It's incredibly frustrating to answer only to find it's yet another nuisance call.9 yearsThey keep ringing every single day, its really starting to get on my nerves.9 yearsI got a missed call from 01284 125873, so I tried ringing back but it just said the number wasn't valid!! Quite strange.9 yearsThey tried to scam me about my computer but when I said I don't own one they just hung up on me!9 yearsSomeone rang me saying there was something wrong with my computer. Turns out it's a total con. Best thing to do is just tell them to get lost, hang up straight away, and block the number so they can't bother you again.9 yearsI ended the call quickly when the bloke started talking about accessing my computer remotely. Seriously, you’ve got to watch out for stuff like this, it’s not safe!9 yearsGot this call, call blocker caught it straight away, of course they ended the call. They've been blocked now.9 yearsGot a call about some computer issue, sounded like a total rip off. I just decided to put the phone down straight away.Best9 yearsGot a call from a woman with the Bury St Edmunds area code, but she spoke with a really thick accent, so I struggled to catch what she was saying. She asked if I owned my computer, and when I asked why she wanted to know, she told me that every time I check my emails online, I supposedly get alerts about some issues. I mentioned that my partner’s an IT guy and if there was any issue, he’d be the one reaching out thanks to the security settings he’s put in place. Strange enough, she ended the call pretty quickly after that.Bury St Edmunds9 yearsI got a call from a woman with a really thick Asian accent, it was almost impossible to catch what she was saying. She kept telling me I had an issue with my computer. When I asked her to say it again more clearly, she just cut off the call! Really odd experience.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today and I checked with the cops, they told me ringing back could cost more than £3000. Honestly, just don’t bother calling or speaking to whoever’s behind this - it’s a complete scam.9 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Asian accent, he said his name was "John" and claimed there was something wrong with my computer. He wanted me to log in so he could sort it out. When I told him there’s no way I’d be daft enough to let some stranger have access, he was taken aback but kept pushing. Then he asked when I’d be at home so he could "fix" my PC. I told him to tell me when he'd be home so I could come by and mend his dodgy door instead... And then I just ended the call. The number he rang from was 01284125873.John9 yearsI've encountered some dodgy characters posing as representatives from Microsoft, attempting to pull the wool over my eyes!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today, and the police warned me that calling back could end up charging more than £3000. Definitely don’t ring them or even have a chat with whoever’s on the other end. It’s a total con.9 yearsSome bloke called me, claimed there was an issue with my laptop and that strangers were trying to hack my stuff. He said it was serious and I needed to sit at my computer so he could sort it out then and there. When I told him I’d not noticed any problem and I had no clue who he was (he had an Indian accent), he just cut the call straight away. Makes me nervous thinking some folks might fall for it and hand over their private info.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming there was an issue with my computer. I answered in a really sarcastic tone, like, “Oh, right, sure.” The bloke, who sounded Indian, told me I could always hang up but the problem would still be there. I just said, “Good plan,” and ended the call straight away. I’ve blocked that number now. Next time one of these scammers rings me, I think I’ll just keep them chatting for ages pretending to be interested, then finish by telling them off properly and warning I’ll report them if they call again.9 yearsTotally a scam, don’t trust it.Fraudulent Caller9 yearsI got calls from two different numbers starting with 01284 and 01234, both showed as 125873 afterwards. They were pretending to be from Microsoft - total scam!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft, said my Windows had issues and they could fix it. Ended up trying to push some kind of security software on me. Proper dodgy, stay clear.Microsoft9 yearsSome woman called and asked if she was talking to me, using my name which felt a bit off. She was saying something about all these annoying calls I’ve gotten. Didn’t mention any company or anything. When I told her I was reporting her, she just ended the call straight away. Bit dodgy if you ask me.9 yearsOn Wednesday I got a call from someone asking about my Windows PC. As soon as I told them I didn’t own one, they just cut the call right away.9 yearsHe called me claiming there was an issue with my computer, but the moment I told him to quit trying to scam folks, he just cut the call straight away.9 yearsGot a call from a number really close to 01238125873, just one digit off.
