Got a call from a woman claiming to be with Microsoft, saying my computer was in danger. Told her I don’t even own a computer and mentioned I’ve seen loads about this on Watchdog. But she just kept going, so in the end, I just ended the call.

Got a quiet call this morning at 8:40 am, 11/11/2016, with some background noise I could barely hear. After the rule changes back in April, I figured these sorts of calls were done for good.

Right before the minute of silence, I get this call from some muppets saying my computer’s busted. Told them where to go and blocked the number straight away.

I was so sick of those scam calls pretending to be Microsoft, ringing me over and over again, that I finally decided to get Caller ID. Now, if a number isn’t saved on my phone, I just let it ring out to voicemail. Since these dodgy callers never bother leaving a message, I simply look up the missed call number on this website - guess what? It’s always some tosser trying their scam. Then I block the number straight away.

BEWARE: THESE CALLS (TYPICALLY FROM AN INDIAN ACCENT) ARE PART OF A FAMOUS COMPUTER FRAUD SCHEME!

Somebody rang up pretending to be from Microsoft support, saying my PC was compromised and offering to fix it. They had me open the event viewer, saying the errors there confirmed they were legit! Then they told me to put ‘iexplore onlinesupport.screenconnect[###]’ into the run prompt. I said no, and they started getting really annoyed, kept asking if I was a technician myself, then just dropped the call.

On the morning of 10th November 2016 around 8:08, I missed answering my landline pretty quick. Later, when I looked up the number, I was shocked to see it was pretending to be Microsoft. They’d contacted me a few times before, claiming my computer had some serious problems. Sounds like it started off as an Indian phone number, but now they’re sneaky and use UK numbers to trick people. I’d just booked a hotel in Norfolk, which is why I decided to investigate this number in the first place, just like someone else mentioned here.

It's quite frustrating, isn't it? How is it that we can send astronauts to the moon yet still struggle to put an end to all these bothersome calls that affect so many individuals? It’s a shame that this persistent annoyance continues to disrupt lives.

This morning, at precisely 08:20, my phone rang while I was upstairs. I hurried down in a rush to pick up, just in time before they hung up. Much like what others have shared about this number, there was utter silence on the other end when I answered. I find such calls to be quite intrusive, especially so early in the day. To add to my unease, I’ve had a few early morning calls recently, and they often bring unwelcome news.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft, telling me my computer was corrupted. They were really pushy, almost rude, and kept on insisting I switch my computer on and follow their instructions. It was too much, so I ended up just hanging up. This isn’t the first time I’ve gotten calls like this, and honestly, they make me quite uneasy.

I received a call at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, 5th November 2016. I picked up the phone, but there was absolute silence on the other side.

Just got a call from the same number. Heard some background noise for a bit, then the line went dead. I actually thought it was the hospital ringing me back like they said they would. Funny, cos this call came right around the time I was meant to hear from them. I’d rung the hospital about 10 minutes earlier to check my callback was still on schedule. Not pleased at all.

Strange thing is, this code belongs to Hunstanton in Norfolk. Funny enough, I’m staying at a hotel there tomorrow and rang this number thinking it was the place. Turns out, it wasn’t at all and no one even picks up. I’ve also had a few calls claiming to be from Microsoft saying there’s a big problem with my laptop. It’s all a con, don’t share any info or trust anything from these so-called Microsoft callers. My parents got caught out a while back - mum nearly believed it and thought their PC was going to crash from a virus or something.

I just received a call from a woman with an Indian accent. She said my computer is infected and it’s sending harmful error messages to their servers. She claimed my system is at risk and offered to fix it for me. Definitely a scam, be careful!
