I've received two calls in total - one yesterday and another today - both attempting to scam me under the guise of Microsoft's security team.

Received a rather dodgy phone call from a chap named John earlier today. He claimed there was a problem with my computer and provided a number for me to ring him back. Suffice it to say, I’ll steer well clear of contacting John again. Utterly disgraceful! It’s downright appalling, really. Just a word of caution-never, and I mean never, grant anyone remote access to your computer. It’s a recipe for disaster!

Received a rather peculiar call this morning from that number mentioned above. The caller claimed he had some sort of access to my computer. Naturally, I was curious and asked how he managed to acquire my phone number. He nonchalantly responded that he pulled it from the ID number on the side of my computer, asserting it was linked to the phone line in some way. The number displayed as “unknown” on my screen, so I felt compelled to answer, since one can never tell who it might be. He seemed sincere enough, but it really made me think-if someone isn’t cautious about these kinds of calls, they could easily fall victim to a scam.

I received a rather peculiar phone call from a chap claiming to be "John Smith," who said he was affiliated with Microsoft. He insisted that there were issues with our security system and was only reaching out because we hadn’t replied to their previous emails. He was incredibly pushy about me providing my Microsoft ID number. When I inquired how Microsoft had obtained my phone number and pressed him for the email address he mentioned, he continued to assert his legitimacy by claiming he already knew my Microsoft ID. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I received a call from this number claiming to be Microsoft, but it turns out to be a total scam. I even contacted Microsoft from my mobile while chatting with these fraudsters on another line!

This chap had the audacity to say he was representing Microsoft’s licensing department! I didn’t hesitate to hang up on him.

I received a call from this number earlier today, claiming to be from Microsoft, stating there was an issue with my computer’s operating system. I told them to ring back when my husband was free to chat. I’ve got a really uneasy feeling about the whole thing-definitely sounds like a scam to me.
