I didn’t pick up the phone, but there was a voicemail from a woman with a strong accent that was really tricky to catch. From what I could make out, she was with some kind of tech firm and had taken my number from my wedding photography site. She said they’d emailed me about some free offer. Oddly, she mentioned the company was in London but she was actually ringing me from India.

Just got another call this week from someone saying my computer’s got issues, said they were from Microsoft in Reading but the number had a Glasgow area code - bit odd. I kept him chatting for about ten minutes, winding him up pretty good. When he started getting a bit narky, I told him to go find a life and maybe take a long walk off a short pier. He kept pushing, so then I asked if he was into sex and travelling. When he wanted to know why, I told him to get lost!

Some guy rang me, said it was about my computer. I told him I don’t own one. He then said I was lying. I shot back with, "Who you calling a f##king liar?" Then he just hung up on me!

Total rubbish scam. Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from Microsoft, talking about my computer being at risk. He said his name was Martin, but when I asked for more, he said David Martin! He told me to ring back on +15606406051, which I obviously didn’t bother with. The weird thing is the call looked like it was coming from the UK, so I picked up. These annoying cold calls from fraudsters really need to be stopped.

Just received one of those irritating silent calls-definitely a scam! They seem to dial a whole bunch of numbers and wait for the first poor soul to answer. Don’t just hang up; let them foot the bill! I let one ring on for ages, put my phone away in a cupboard, and left it there for nearly 14 hours. It was astonishing; the call stayed connected the entire time until I finally decided to end it myself. I can only imagine the hefty charge someone ended up with!

Got a call from someone who said his name was Stephen Stewart or something similar, sounded like he was from abroad. This is actually the second time that number's rung me up, saying there's an issue with my computer. I told him straight up not to bother calling again because I wasn’t having any of it.

Got a call from a man with an Indian accent, hard to catch what he said, saying he was from Microsoft in Reading. He was telling me there was some issue with my PC. I pretended to be worried at first. Then I asked for his phone number to verify who he really was. He gave me 344 8002400, which I told him isn’t a proper UK number. I even joked about ringing the cops over this supposed tech problem. Later I looked up the number that showed on my caller ID - 0141 628 9734 - and blocked it using BT Call Protect.

I just carried on giving him the wrong phone number to mess with him, even said his system must be faulty cause he couldn't get through. Eventually he caught on and yelled, 'You're taking the mick!' I just laughed and said that's right, and told him to do one and find a real job.

I too received a rather amusing call from what was supposedly the Microsoft Technical Support (as if!). An individual with an Asian accent introduced himself as Frank (or some such) Henderson. He rambled on about my computer's ID number signalling that my laptop had been compromised. I made it quite clear that I was aware it was a con, and he had the audacity to threaten me with persistent calls. I swiftly ended the conversation and promptly blocked the number, which traced back to Glasgow.

No message was left, but I reckon it’s probably those same dodgy scammers from Glasgow just switching up their number again. They’re really nasty, especially towards vulnerable folks, getting all intimidating and scary. Proper unpleasant bunch.

Just got a call a bit before 8 this morning from this number claiming to be from Microsoft about an issue with my computer. They had a strange foreign accent. I've blocked the number now, definitely best to stay well clear of it.

Got a call around 8 in the morning, which was strange cos no businesses over here would be running that early! Decided to check the number and yep, straight up another dodgy scam. Just another one to add to the blacklist.

Just like many have mentioned, it's definitely a dodgy Microsoft call. I played along with their script just to figure out their angle. They direct you to the 'Teamviewer' website. Now, Teamviewer itself is a genuine program that anyone can download - it’s used for remotely controlling another computer. When you visit the site, it gives you a unique ID that you then share with the caller, allowing them to take over your PC. From what I reckon, once they’re inside, they probably try to slip in some kind of malware so they can steal your bank details and other sensitive info.

This morning around 9 o’clock, someone rang me pretending to be Jason from Microsoft. He said some programme was installed on my PC which made it vulnerable to hacking. He mentioned a number he said was my Microsoft user ID. When I asked for his direct number, he wouldn’t give it, so I dialled 1471 and got 0141 6289734 instead. I ended the call straight away.

No message was left, but it could well be those dodgy scammers from Glasgow again, just using a different number this time. They're really nasty and cruel, especially towards vulnerable folks, as they turn pretty intimidating and scary.

Received a call this morning from this number... The chap on the other end was quite flustered... Claimed to be calling from Microsoft... To be honest, I struggled to make out what he was saying... Had a strong suspicion it was a scam... I kindly informed him not to disturb me again and promptly ended the call!

Yeah, I had a call from them too, but I was onto them straight away. I kept asking questions about their security to see if they’d trip up, and they started getting all flustered. Then I asked for instructions and when they told me, I pretended to ask how to do it on my Mac - suddenly, silence, and the call just cut off!

Got a call from a bloke who sounded Indian, claiming to be from Microsoft and asking for me. I told him the person he needed wasn't here and asked if there was an issue. He said her computer had some sort of problem and needed protection from hackers. I said I’d tell her to ring him when she's around and asked for a number. He gave me some dodgy number like 140323231200 - obviously nonsense - so I just hung up straight away.

Received a call allegedly from Microsoft, and the bloke even knew my name! When I said, "not this again," he insisted they hadn't reached out to me in the past. He suggested that I ask anyone who claims to be from them for my licence number to verify their authenticity. Naturally, I requested he provide it to me instead, and he promptly started rattling off a series of numbers. That was enough for me-I ended the call right then and there.

Claimed to represent Microsoft, they insisted I had a virus or something of that nature. They provided a customer service number, which was +44 3448002400.

Oh yeah, it's those bloody hackers again, always trying to mess with our computers. I get these calls almost every day now, and honestly, they’re proper scary. Whenever they ring, I just tell them how they sleep at night knowing they’re scamming folks, then I slam the phone down. Been getting this rubbish off and on for over a decade, even when we were living over in France.

I received a rather irate phone call from a chap who insisted that my Microsoft licence was on the verge of expiring and couldn't be salvaged. The caller has returned to ring me no less than four times now! The actual occupant of the phone line doesn’t possess a computer, but I occasionally utilise one at her residence for my tutoring sessions. I thought it might be interesting to engage as I often teach computing, but honestly, it grew tedious rather quickly. His usage of the phonetic alphabet was quite erroneous when he attempted to relay the licence number. Interestingly, he claimed to be calling from a number that purportedly belongs to Glasgow, yet I could tell he wasn't Scottish at all, and his command of English left much to be desired. It does beg the question, what would compel someone to be so fixated on my computer situation?

I received a rather alarming call claiming that there was an issue with my computer-faults tied to Microsoft, they stated. When I probed for the caller's name and the company they represented, they flatly refused to provide any information. To my astonishment, they went so far as to threaten to shut down my computer! I pressed them once more for their identity and employer, only to be met with a vile expletive and then abruptly disconnected. It immediately set off alarm bells. Do be cautious: they are evidently trying to extort money under the guise of 'cleaning' your computer. I’ve encountered a similar scam a few years back.

Got a call earlier from someone saying they were with Microsoft, telling me my internet was about to be cut off because of hackers or something, and that they needed remote access to sort it out. I asked for more details like which department she was from, but she just handed me over to another bloke who couldn’t give me answers either. Then they put me back to her, and she started yelling that my internet would be disconnected right away! Honestly, I hope the authorities crack down on these awful scammers soon. They’re so scary and might really frighten people who are more vulnerable.

At first there was just silence, then a woman with an Indian accent called asking for me by name, claiming to be from Microsoft. She said a computer linked to my address was going to be blocked soon. I told her there’s no computer registered here. She kept asking if we owned a laptop or a PC, even after I said we don’t have one. She repeated the question at least five times, like she was following a script. Definitely a scam to me. By the way, I wasn’t being honest about not having a computer.

They hang up super quick, like right after ringing. This has been going on every day now.
