Got a call from this number saying there was an issue with my PC. I told them I wasn't interested in downloading any of their software, then I just ended the call. They called back immediately, threatening to block my computer or something. I just hung up once more. - caller: 01483604654

Just got a call from someone saying they needed to discuss my Windows 10 on the computer and asked if I was the main user. I told them it’s not any of their concern and they ended the call super fast. If they ring you, do yourself a favour and either hang up or be firm like me. They’re just trying to get into your system and nick your info.

Got called a couple times last Friday by the same number, managed to pick up one. The bloke sounded Asian, mentioned some computer issue but my missus just ended the call. Today, they rang twice again; I took one in the morning and it was a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from some computer support. Asked her what company she was with and she just dropped the call. The second call this arvo was the last straw - had to block the number!

I'm so done with this, they've called me 4 times in just 3 hours. They ring a couple of times and then just hang up. Even if I wanted to pick up, couldn't do it. Is there any way to stop these calls? If I knew who they were, I'd be calling THEM back every 5 minutes!

They keep ringing non-stop! Got two calls last Friday, answered one and it was a bloke with an Asian accent saying there was some kind of problem with my computer. My wife wasn’t having any of it and just hung up. Then today, twice again - this morning it was a woman claiming to be from some computer company trying to fix a fault. I asked which firm she worked for and she just cut off. Later this afternoon another call came through, and I answered it using 1471 but couldn’t tell who it was. Honestly, I don’t think anything will stop these calls, definitely not the phone companies since they’re probably getting paid for the calls being made. - caller: Annoying Pest

I've received calls from this number on two occasions today alone, and I’ve lost count of how many times they disturbed me yesterday. It's not like this is a new occurrence either; they seem to have taken a break from annoying me for about a month. Honestly, I’m rather fed up with their relentless ringing.

She claimed my computer was getting viruses every time I used it and offered to have a Microsoft tech guide me through fixing it if I sat at my PC right away. I wasn’t having any of it, told her no thanks, and ended the call before she could say more. Can’t remember her name, didn’t catch it.

Some bloke named "Harry" claiming to be from Microsoft rang me about my Windows PC. When I said I actually use Apple, he accused me of lying and then started telling me to do some really offensive stuff before telling me to "do one" and weirdly said he'd help me "drop dead." I've reported it to the cops, though I seriously doubt anything will come of it.

Last week, I received a phone call from this number. To my detriment, I entertained the caller's claims and let him present what he purported to be alarming files on my computer. He tried to sell me some anti-malware software, insisting it was sanctioned by Microsoft. I firmly declined his offer, to which he threatened that I wouldn't be able to operate a compromised computer for much longer and that he'd be in touch again. My computer did conk out temporarily, but it miraculously sprang back to life the next day. I promptly ran a scan with Malwarebytes and found no issues. That morning, I was bombarded with around eight calls starting from 7:55, and even after informing the caller that I had reported his menacing tactics to Action Fraud, I ended up receiving another two calls two days later, which I wisely chose to ignore.

I received a call from an absolute nincompoop who was attempting to tell me, in utterly garbled English, that my computer had some sort of software issue and that he was affiliated with Microsoft. Honestly, you'd think they'd bother to master the language before attempting to scam unsuspecting folks! To top it off, I had my little bit of fun the other day by keeping him on the line for a good half an hour. Oh, the satisfaction of hearing his annoyance!

They’ve called me up four times already today, always with someone who sounds Indian or Asian, yet they use typical English names. The most recent caller said her name was Mary and tried to get me to switch my laptop on, claiming it was infected with viruses and whatnot. I just told her to find a proper job instead. Honestly, I’ve been a lot ruder before. These calls are just ridiculous, and even though I’m on the TPS through BT, it’s done absolutely nothing to stop them.

I got three calls from 01483 604782. The bloke had an Indian/Pakistani accent and was going on about some virus problem, saying he was from WINDOWS Tech - not even Microsoft, mind you. When I asked where he was calling from, he claimed London. I then asked for a postcode, and he got proper annoyed, saying why should he have to give me that info. After that, he started swearing at me in Hindi and just hung up. He actually knew my name and was calling my landline. No idea how he got hold of that, but it’s definitely a scam. Wish there was a way to catch these fraudsters.

Earlier today I got a call from a guy with an Asian accent, he said his name was Jim, but I wasn’t convinced. He went on and on about my computer, which I found really fishy. I just ignored the whole thing and let him keep spending his credit. After a while, he asked if I was still listening, and when I didn’t say anything, he just ended the call. I’m definitely adding his number to my block list now.

I just got a rather dubious phone call from this number featuring a chap with an African accent claiming to be from Microsoft Windows. He insisted there was a problem with my computer. I promptly informed him that I don't own one and hung up. After that, I dialled 1471, and guess what? The same number appeared. My husband has had numerous calls from this same dodgy number as well. Clearly, it’s a scam. I’ve registered with the call preference service, but these annoying calls still manage to slip through. I was told that they can't block calls from abroad, but I’m not convinced that's entirely accurate. Something really needs to be done about this situation!

This morning I got a phone call saying my Windows computer had a virus or something. I kinda suspected it was a scam right away, so I decided to humour them for a bit.

I had quite the unsettling experience with a phone call from this number. The caller claimed there was an issue with my computer and proceeded to rattle off a lengthy license number, which left me rather bewildered. When I declined to check my computer as they suggested, their tone shifted to one of great urgency, insisting that my device was compromised and could fail at any moment. I decided to end the conversation, but they were relentless and rang me again. This time, a man spoke in a rather menacing manner, threatening to report me to Microsoft in the States, insisting that my computer was operating illegally. It was a rather distressing encounter, to say the least.

I've been getting calls pretty much every day from these idiots. The number shows up first as international, then switches to 01483 604 782 on my caller ID.

I just got a call from someone claiming really badly that my computer was infected and that my laptop had been sending out warnings for a few weeks now. I kept him on the line long enough to look up the number on Google and had a bit of fun telling him a couple of things: one, the number he was calling from shows up as a fraud alert; two, I actually have a degree in IT and know how to manage my laptop; and three, what he was saying made no sense at all. Oddly, he just hung up right after that. Seems like others have been called by a ‘David’ with an Indian or similar accent too. - Caller: ‘David’ from 01483 604782

Got a call from this number around 8:45 this morning. The bloke on the line, with an Indian accent, started off by saying "good afternoon," which I found a bit odd for the time of day. Claimed he was from Microsoft and said my internet connection shows there’s some sort of problem. Asked me to grab paper and pen to note down my computer’s licence number. I decided to keep him chatting for a while, asking about where their office was located. After a few tries, he finally said “80 Victoria St London SW1E 5JL.” I told him that doesn’t sound like a valid postcode at all. Then he got a bit annoyed. Pointed out that if he really was calling from London, he wouldn’t say good afternoon at that hour. No surprises here - he just ended the call! - caller: windows

I told her I wasn’t buying it at all and just ended the call straight away! - caller was ‘Mary’ from Microsoft Tech Support

I had to let my mum know that her computer is dreadfully compromised, but the hilarity of it all is that she doesn’t even have one! Talk about stubborn pests!

some guy called claiming he was from microsoft, telling me to get on my computer right away. i told him it wasnt a good time but he kept insisting that if i didnt log in straight away, my microsoft stuff would get wiped and it would cost loads to fix. i ended the call but he rang back 3 more times saying again and again to just switch on my computer now.

That number 01483604872? Avoid it like the plague, those lot are trying to shove malware onto your computer. Honestly, if they ask you to do anything, just say no - don't fall for their nonsense. Make sure your antivirus is fully updated and give your system a good scan. With Christmas coming up, these scammers are more persistent than ever, desperate to nick your personal info. Best thing to do is mess with them a bit or just ignore them altogether. Happy holidays from a fellow techie!

I keep getting calls from 01483604782, and I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of scam. They ring all the time, very annoying!

Isn’t it rather remarkable how frequently we find ourselves grappling with issues on our computers, while that chap from Microsoft seems to have a sixth sense about it all? The moment I tell him I’m not having any troubles, he promptly hangs up! They just don’t give up, do they? Quite the trial, I must say!

Got a call from this number today, some guy going on about my computer being at risk. I asked him which computer he meant, and he said something about Windows 10. Told him I don't use one. Then he tried to ask who I was, I asked who he was after instead. He just made up some name. He kept saying my computer was in danger. I told him he had the wrong number and ended the call. This is like the fifth time these scam calls have come through to me.

I picked up a call from 01483604782 and after a moment of silence, an automated voice came on just to say "goodbye." When I tried to ring it back, the line was just dead. Quite strange!

Got three phone calls from the same number today. They said my computer was infected with a virus and offered to fix it. They asked me to enter a code on my PC, which I later found out lets them get in remotely. How do they know so much? They mentioned my name and where I bought the computer! I told them all that info is out on the web and it’s obviously a scam. They tried to argue with me but once I said I’d reported them to the cops, they just hung up. The caller said he was David from Microsoft tech support.

Got calls from this number twice last week and again today. When I told them their talk about my “computer issues” was nonsense, the woman just told me to piss off. Caller said they were from Microsoft tech support.

Got a call from some bloke claiming my computer had viruses. He actually got me to let him log in and then said there were nearly 3,000 errors and that Windows updates were being stopped. Then he tried to sell this yearly plan or some ‘platinum’ deal for £290! I told him I’d think about it and hung up. Checked with my actual IT support and they said it’s a well-known scam. I’m going to report the number to the cops.

I received a call from some chaps claiming there was an issue with my computer. Quite amusing really, considering I don’t even own one! It's a right laugh how clueless these scammers can be. Honestly, you’d think they’d do a bit of homework before ringing people up!

I got two calls from these folks earlier, claiming they were from Microsoft. They said there was a problem with a license linked to my most recent computer login. As soon as I hinted they might be fake, the line just cut off straight away! Pretty obvious scam stuff. I think I read an article not long ago about this scam where they trick you into installing software so they can get into your computer remotely. Total dodgy business.

Got two calls from this lot earlier claiming to be from Microsoft. Said there was some problem with my license after I logged into my PC last time. As soon as I said they sounded dodgy, they just cut me off straight away! It’s definitely a scam. I remember reading something in the paper recently about this trick where they try to install software to get into your computer. Avoid them at all costs!

Absolutely, I had the same bunch ring me up today, claiming to be "David." They insisted they were there to "assist" me with an alleged infection on my computer. So, I mentioned that the authorities had advised me to document the conversation. Just like that, the call was terminated in less than a tick!

Got the same lot ringing me up today, some bloke called "David" saying he needed to "assist" me because my PC was meant to have a virus. I said I was actually recording the call for the cops, and bang, he hung up right away, like less than a second later! - caller: Prank call

This number has been calling us multiple times daily, around three to four times. I've chosen not to answer since we know it's a scam. How on earth can we put an end to this nuisance? Is there a specific authority to which we can report this?

Complete nonsense, tread carefully!
