This nuisance causes significant upset, especially among the elderly, and is confirmed as a fraudulent operation with no legitimate connection to any official organisation.

My father received a rather alarming phone call from someone claiming to need access to his computer. Understandably, he was quite firm in his response, saying no. However, the individual on the other end was rather forceful, targeting an 85-year-old who’s quite susceptible to such tactics. To make matters worse, they rang back three times, leaving dear Dad rather distressed.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft warning me about weird stuff happening on my PC. I kept them hanging on for ages, and they got more irritated as we chatted. Then I told them my computer actually flashed a message saying “beware the scammer calling you right now.” They totally lost it and shouted something like, “Just wait 30 minutes, I’ll show you who’s the real scammer!” πŸ˜‚

Just had a right laugh with an Indian scammer claiming to be from Microsoft, warning me of some dodgy goings-on with my computer. I strung him along for quite a while, and it was hilarious watching him get more and more irate, insisting I take him seriously while I kept saying “OK”. Honestly, I take great joy in toying with these chaps! Eventually, I let him know my computer flashed up a message saying “don’t trust the con artist on the line." He absolutely lost it then, threatening me that in half an hour, I’d really see the sort of trickster he was. Proper entertaining, that! πŸ˜‚

Somebody rang me claiming to be from Windows tech help. I told them I don’t even own a computer, but they just called me untruthful and threatened to block my computer. Since I just use my phone for the internet, I told them to go ahead and block it then!

Got a call claiming to be from Microsoft. I ended the call straight away but they rang me again wanting to know why I’d ended it. I hung up a second time but they kept ringing. Told them to stop calling and then they started threatening to block my computer. I just said “be my guest” and hung up, then blocked the number. Definitely a scam. I only picked up because I was helping my elderly folks. They're clearly targeting the most vulnerable people.

Some woman rang me pretending she was ringing about my laptop or something. I told her no thanks and ended the call. Then she phoned back asking why I’d cut off. I just replied that I was tied up and didn’t want a chat, then hung up again. They kept trying, called me around eight times more, but I just ignored the calls till they gave in and stopped.

Got a call from this number twice, once at 11:54 and then again at 11:56 in the morning. Picked up the first time and a lady with a thick accent was saying something about an issue with my computer. I told her I don’t own one and told her to stop wasting my time. Then she rang me back a couple of minutes later but I ignored it and let it go to voicemail. Surprise, no message was left! Definitely a scam, wouldn’t recommend answering.

Someone called me saying they were from Scottish Power and told me I'd get a grant payment of about £6000 from something back in 2016. They said it was authorised by the FCA. They never straight up asked for my bank details, but I stupidly told them which bank I use and how long I’d been with them. They called again later asking for more details about my address, but I said no after I looked up the number and saw it seemed dodgy.

I kept getting calls non stop, like as soon as I hung up at 1:23pm, they were calling right back, then again at 1:24, and on up to 1:27. This person kept saying I was hacked and wondered why I wouldn’t talk. The same lady’s voice was coming from 01204 806940 around 1:25 and 1:26 as well.

Got calls from a lady who struggled with her English, saying I had some PPI refund coming. She kept asking for my personal info, even my birthday.

Got a phone call about a PPI claim I supposedly made in 2016 with Claims Direct, saying I’m owed £6,709. The caller said they were ringing from the FCA and that someone would call me on Monday to sort out how I’d receive the payment. But when I tried to ring the number back, it just said “you’ve dialled the wrong number, please try again.” Watch out for this one, it sounds dodgy!

Got a call saying I had some PPI money to claim, about £500. She mentioned an old postcode of mine, but I told her that postcode's not valid anymore. Then she asked for more info, so I just ended the call. It was a woman with an Indian accent and you could hear a child playing in the background. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.

Managed to catch a so-called Microsoft guy out in a scam attempt. When I asked to speak to his manager, he turned really nasty. He kept insisting he wasn’t a scammer and kept questioning how I found out. Wouldn’t admit he was trying to con me. Ended up telling me to get lost before just hanging up on me.

This number has been ringing me non stop. The guy said it’s about some PPI payout I’m supposed to get, something like over £6000. But then he wanted me to cough up £85 for the courier to send it to me safely. I dragged the call out for quite a while, hoping he’d waste time and not call anyone else. It was tricky talking to him cause of his accent and bad English. Told him he should get a proper honest job and honestly hope he gets some peace at night. Avoid this number at all costs!

The caller said his name was Roy and kept insisting on talking about our computer. My husband quickly said he wasn’t interested and hung up. But he kept calling back, so I finally picked up and he wanted to talk to Mr Nicholass. I told him he wasn’t here but didn’t explain why. Then he started accusing me of not telling the truth and said I was being rude. We’ve now unplugged the phone to stop the calls for now, but this can’t go on forever. Honestly, who do they think they are? Such cheek!

I got a call from this number, some woman with an accent I couldn't place. She said there was a big problem with my computer and that she was from Microsoft. I told her I’d double check with Microsoft on my own, but she called me back not once but three times, even after I said I wanted to end the call. She insisted she had to fix it immediately, said it was against the law not to, and that it was her responsibility. Bit dodgy if you ask me!

Got a call earlier today, sounded like they were running a call centre from India but showing a 0131 number here in the UK. From what I can tell, they're sketchy and probably passing your info on to other UK businesses who pay for it. Definitely avoid giving them any bank details - honestly, I just gave them made-up info to be safe. Would say watch out, they're up to no good.

She insisted that my computer had been breached and was allegedly being misused by third parties. After I ended the conversation, she intriguingly called me back twice to ask why I hung up on her. She even went so far as to say she would disable my computer if I didn’t comply with her demands. I've since blocked her number, especially given her threat to reach out again.

A rather forceful woman alleged that my computer had been hacked. She incessantly pestered me about my online activities and my computer’s security. I ended the call on four separate occasions, but she relentlessly rang back. Her tone grew increasingly hostile, practically shouting at me. When I requested that she take our phone number off her calling list, she outright refused. I asked to speak with her manager about the constant harassment, but she declined once more! At one point, she threatened to shut down my computer! In the end, she simply hung up. I’ve since blocked her number.
