Many calls feature no clear company details or leave no messages, increasing suspicion. Recipients note aggressive behaviour, repeated calling despite refusal, and refusal to provide verifiable contact information or regulatory credentials. This number is widely regarded as associated with scams targeting vulnerable individuals, including the elderly, and is strongly advised to be blocked and reported to relevant authorities. Users report these calls as unwelcome, misleading, and invasive.

I let them know I’m on the TPS and asked them to take my number off whatever list they had. They said they didn’t keep a list, which made me ask, “Then how are you calling me? Just dialling numbers at random?” I kept saying “remove me from your list” over and over until they eventually ended the call. Just another caller to add to my blocked bunch.

Got a call from some Asian bloke who was really rude and talked so fast I couldn’t make out half of what he said. When I asked how he got my number, he just acted all arrogant and then just hung up on me. I’ve already blocked the number now.

So I answered the phone and all I could hear was some sort of static at first, but then this lady said she was calling from GB Capital. Honestly, I get calls like this all the time from loads of different numbers. They’re always trying to persuade you to put your money into some investment scheme.

Got a call from an Asian gentleman pitching some kind of investment in a Mayfair firm. I asked him to email me all the details - like info about his company, what exactly he was offering, plus his FCA registration. He told me that wasn’t their process. When I questioned where he got my phone number, he just said it was from his list. Because of that, I told him I suspected it was a con and that I wasn’t interested in taking things any further.

This bloke from GB Capital in Mayfair London rang me, said he had a chance to invest with a 34.5% yearly return. When I told him my last investment was 25 years ago, he suddenly said I wasn’t the right person for this deal. I asked why, but he couldn’t give me any clear answer. I also told him I wanted the details sent through the post like I asked last week via a mate, as I’m wary of email attachments after a dodgy experience. He said he’d check with his supervisor and then just hung up on me. Feels like a total scam from Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC to me.

Got a call from an Indian bloke claiming to be from GB Capital. I told him I’d already said no a couple of times before, like last week and the week before that, and told him to delete my number. Then I just cut him off and blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from this number on 2nd July at 10:55 am, checked with 1471. They didn’t leave any voicemail, so I reckon it’s not a genuine call, probably dodgy.

I’m a retired woman too, and this morning I got a call from this number that actually used my name. It seemed dodgy straight away, so I just hung up. Then, not long after, the same number rang me again and kept going for ages, but I didn’t answer. Felt like a scam to me.

It was tricky to make out what she was saying because of her accent, and I couldn't catch the name of the firm she claimed to represent. She said my computer was hacked, but when I told her I don’t even own a computer, she said something about cancelling my registration. I just ended the call.

Got a call from an Asian woman who was quite hard to follow, saying there was a problem with my computer. I said I didn’t own a computer, and then she switched to mentioning a laptop. Told her I didn’t have one of those as well. She then said my licence ID showed I’m from Frimley and warned that my computer would stop working unless I took her advice. I just ended the call after that.

There's this guy from India who keeps calling me, saying he's some sort of Windows expert and needs to check on my computer. He phoned me three times last Friday and then again today morning. He's really pushy about it. I'm over 90 and it worries me a bit. I just hang up straight away and won't talk to him. It's quite unsettling, honestly.

I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from Windows, about my computer or tablet. I shouted that I don’t own any laptops or iPads and told her to stop calling me. After hanging up, she rang back pretty quickly and was rude, asking why I ended the last call. I repeated that I don’t use any Windows devices and just hung up once again. Then, like half an hour later, another call came from someone claiming to be Windows support asking for the main user, to which I said they weren’t available. What a nightmare!

I got a call from a lady who claimed she was from Windows Security. After she asked for my name and I gave it, she kept trying to convince me. I just ended the call straight away. She rang me back right away and asked why I cut her off. I told her, “I don’t bother with scam calls,” and then I hung up for good.

Sounds like the usual scam scampering about. This woman was very pushy and quite rude, but honestly the whole thing was pretty shoddy. Luckily, the call kept dropping out and eventually cut off on its own, so I didn’t have to get rude and hang up myself.

It was clearly a scam, some dodgy tech support lot. They kept calling and wouldn’t stop pestering me, so I just ended the call. Then, annoyingly, they rang again to ask why I’d cut them off, and guess what? They dropped the call on me! Proper cheeky behaviour.

Got a call from some guy with an Indian accent who was really pushy right from the start. I ended the call but he rang me two more times after that, each time getting more hostile. Then a woman answered - sounded like a supervisor - and she was even more fierce, warning me that my service would be cut off within 30 minutes if I didn’t comply. Honestly, felt like pure intimidation the whole time.

This number has been ringing me loads today. Every time I attempted to finish the chat, the person just wouldn’t shut up, so I had to hang up. Before that, they kept calling again and again even when I didn’t answer.

Just like some others mentioned, a woman said she was from Microsoft and that my computer was hacked, asking me to do some stuff on it. I told her Microsoft never calls people, plus I have Norton Internet Security installed. She sounded Asian and started getting rude, accusing me of lying. I ended up raising my voice, and then she quickly hung up.

A guy rang me claiming to be from Windows, saying my computer had been doing suspicious stuff. I got suspicious, so he passed me over to a woman who told me to check the Event Viewer. Then she asked me to open the command prompt, but I just hung up there and then. Right after, a bloke called back asking why I'd gone quiet. I told him I thought it was dodgy. I used 1471 to check their number.

Got a call at 8:56 this morning from a woman talking about windows. My phone flagged it as a scam right away. She got pretty annoyed, insisting I should trust her since she supposedly had all my info. I ended up hanging up, but she phoned again straight after. This time, I just let it ring out without answering and no voicemail was left. I've blocked her number now so she can't ring me again.

This morning around 11:20, I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from IT Support, saying my computer was hacked. I immediately suspected it was a scam. I asked her loads of questions and made sure not to reveal anything. I told her I don’t even own a computer, but she just kept accusing me of lying. She was quite persistent, so I just ended the call.

I’ve had the same issue this morning with this number calling repeatedly. I picked up twice and told them off firmly, the second time telling them I knew it was some kind of scam, yet they kept ringing back. After that I just let the phone ring out. They claimed to be from Windows and said there was an issue with my licence or something. Proper annoying.

Got a call early morning at about 8.15am from someone called "Maria" with a strong accent, talking about some issue with a Windows computer. I was pretty irked and ended the call straight away. But then, she rang me back right away, asking why I had cut her off. I gave her a rather cheeky reply and hung up again. And guess what? She tried ringing me once more! Didn’t bother answering the third time though.
