9 yearsHad a call claiming to be Microsoft early in the morning, like 7.55am. Didn't hang around, just told them off straight away.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, said there were loads of problems on my PC and that someone was hacking into it. They said if I sat at my computer with them, they’d fix all the issues for me. Yeah, as if! Total scam.Microsoft9 yearsSome bloke with a foreign accent named Roger rang me at 8.10 in the morning about checking my computer. I told him to jog on, then I breathed into the phone like a squeaky dog whistle. This was the third time he’s called, the first two I just didn’t pick up.Roger9 yearsConstantly receiving calls at the most ungodly hours - 2:29 in the morning, 5:32 in the morning, and again at 8:41. It's utterly maddening!9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming my computer was hacked. I played along, pretending to do what she said with the ctrl key and stuff, just to keep her talking. After a bit, I got really annoyed and told her I knew it was a scam before hanging up.9 yearsGot a call from some so-called Microsoft people who told me to hit ctrl and f. Then they started shouting all sorts like "I’ll f*** you like a dog." Proper disgusting behaviour, honestly.Microsoft9 yearsI'm absolutely fed up with these incessant phone calls. Being disabled, it's an ordeal as it is, and more often than not, when I pick up, they just cut the line! Really frustrating!9 yearsSome bloke called me, said he was from Microsoft, warned me my computer was infected with a virus. I played along, asking if I should have my credit card ready when switching it on. He insisted I’d need a card with a £5000 limit. I told him I had one and asked if he needed the details then. Next thing, he started calling me names and just hung up on me.Microsoft9 yearsI got a call from this number earlier today, but when I picked up, there was complete silence on the other end. After doing a bit of research and reading through the comments from others who’ve had similar annoying experiences with these fraudsters, I've decided it’s best to ignore this number in the future.9 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft, total scam!Microsoft9 yearsOh yeah, I had one of those calls too claiming they were from Microsoft. The woman started acting all annoyed with me. She said my computer had serious problems and wanted to access it remotely. No chance of that happening - I definitely gave her a piece of my mind!Microsoft9 yearsSomebody phoned me claiming to be from Microsoft.Microsoft9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, saying there was an issue with my PC. Total scam, watch out!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call claiming to be Windows support - total scam, don’t pick up! I’ve blocked the number since.9 yearsIt's a con, they claimed to represent Microsoft.Microsoft9 yearsThis number keeps calling me, but the moment I pick up, they hang up. It's such a bother!9 yearsHe hung up on me straight after I explained that I didn’t own a computer.9 yearsSo, I got a call from some guy who said his name was James and that he was from Windows support or something. He asked if I was using a computer. I told him I was, even though I wasn’t. Then, out of nowhere, he just hung up on me. Bit disappointing, I was kinda curious to see what he wanted.James9 yearsRight then, this bloke had the audacity to throw me a name that was as fake as a £3 note. He then had the gall to inquire if I was the owner of a computer. I mean, how on earth did he know I had one? The cheek! Naturally, I told him no, and off he went like a flash. This wasn't our first encounter; previously, he attempted to swindle me over a non-existent issue with my computer, claiming he could "sort it out." I didn't have any faults to fix! Anyway, it doesn't take a genius to see he was just a typical charlatan.9 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, but let’s be honest, they never ring up out of the blue! They went on about some supposed virus infecting my computer. They asked me to hit the Windows key and the R key simultaneously, saying they would guide me through it. I've heard that these types of calls can lead them to take control of your device. Definitely sounds like a dodgy scam to me!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (01438 878018)
