Had a call supposedly from Microsoft's tech support - lasted about an hour. Pretty sure it was a scam though.

I got a call from a lady who wanted to know if I owned a computer. She was speaking so quietly and there was loads of background noise, sounded like she was in some busy call centre. She began talking about some kind of 'fault' straight from a script, but I kept interrupting with questions and that didn’t seem to please her much because she just cut me off. Another dodgy operation trying to scam people, honestly, why are these scammers not being dealt with??

Got a call claiming to be from Microsoft about some kind of issue with my PC’s hardware or software - which is funny, cos I don’t even own one! They asked me to switch on my device and describe what I saw on the screen. Total scam, no doubt. Not sure if they were after money or info. I played along for a bit without sharing anything, then I grabbed my school whistle and blasted it down the phone at them! I’m at a big primary school and I’ve got a loud whistle - hope they got the message!

They claimed to be from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with my software or hardware - funny thing is, I don’t even own a PC. They asked me to switch on my computer and describe what was showing on my screen.

Pretty obvious it was a con, not sure if they wanted cash or my info. I kept chatting with them without sharing anything until I grabbed my school whistle and gave them a loud blast straight down the phone. I work with young kids at a big infant school, so my lungs are no joke!

I got a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft support. They said there was something wrong with my computer and wanted to look at my settings. I just let them talk but didn’t follow any instructions since my Chromebook is running perfectly alright.

I keep getting calls from 01479821616, but they never say anything when I pick up. Anyone know who this is in Grantown on Spey?

You're utterly mistaken! Cows simply don't possess male genitalia. As a dairy farmer, I can assure you that you won't be getting our milk anytime soon.

Ridiculous, isn’t it? Honestly, who even gives a toss, you know? It feels like you might be endorsing this sort of nonsense. Just take it easy for a bit!
