10 yearsYesterday, I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent (at first sounded like a bloke) saying she was from Windows Technical Support. She asked me to be by my registered Windows computer to help fix some issue, which felt a bit off. The weirdest part? She actually knew my name! I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of scam, but still, it’s kinda scary how they got that info.10 yearsGot three random calls this week. On Tuesday, some woman with an Asian accent was asking about a Windows computer. Told her I don’t have one, and she just put the phone down. Missed a call on Wednesday, checked 1471 but didn’t catch who it was. Then today, a bloke named Michael called about my computer. I said, “what computer?” and he just dropped the call!Michael10 yearsBeen getting calls from supposed Microsoft tech support folks, like three times already. No matter what I said or how I replied, they just hung up on me. Maybe it’s a trick to make you ring them back or perhaps they just like ending the call abruptly? Either way, it seems dodgy. People who aren’t too tech-savvy could easily fall for this. Watch out!Microsoft10 yearsSome bloke called "Robin" rang me, said he was with the "Windows Technical Team" from some call centre in Southeast Asia - total scam alert from the get-go. When I asked for a contact number for their head office, he gave me 01223 479 400. I ended up wasting his time for like half an hour since I was bored and figured at least while he was stuck chatting to me, he wasn’t conning someone else. I was definitely not about to let him mess with my laptop remotely. They get pretty annoyed when you act like you’re pressing the wrong buttons on purpose!RobinWindows Technical TeamSoutheast Asia10 yearsGot a call from someone trying to trick me about my Windows setup, sounded like one of those computer scams.10 yearsGot two calls from this number earlier today. The first was a bloke named "Michael" who said he was from "Windows Technical Support," then later a lady with quite a thick accent called, telling me the exact same thing. As soon as they brought up Windows, I just hung up straight away. Seems like one of those scams trying to get into your computer, if you ask me.Michael10 yearsBeware, this is a total scam! Someone called saying they're from "Windows Technical Support" - and I mean, definitely NOT Microsoft. They want to get into your computer, so do NOT let them.Microsoft10 yearsThis woman rang me yesterday saying she was from TalkTalk tech support, but the number they gave was meant to be Cambridge, though it’s actually traced to Edinburgh. When I tried calling back, it just kept ringing endlessly. Feels like they switch their numbers all the time and probably operate from overseas, using some kind of ghost software that taps into real BT lines. Proper dodgy scam if you ask me.CambridgeEdinburghTalkTalk10 yearsGot a call from someone sayin’ my computer was sending error alerts to their website and they needed to get on it. When I told them I wasn't gonna let them nick my info, they just cut me off straight away. Definitely felt like a scam trying to grab my data.10 yearsGot a call from someone sayin my computer had a problem, total scam.Submit Your Own Report (0131 650 4125)
