10 yearsThese scammers keep ringing over and over, every single time sounding like they’ve got an Asian accent but with really English names. Just like loads of others have said. I’ve stopped wasting time arguing with them now. Usually I just ignore the call, let them ramble on until they figure I’m not picking up, and then they give up.10 yearsOn 16th August 22, I got a call from a woman with an American accent saying something about my computer. I knew it was dodgy straight away and ended the call. When I tried ringing the number back, it said no number found. It’s weird how they use a High Wycombe area code but make it impossible to return the call. I’m with BT Preferential, so I doubt they actually ring from here - probably overseas scammers just masking the number with a UK code.High WycombeUK10 yearsIt seems there's an underlying issue with my laptop, and it turns out he's making calls from the States. Quite the mystery, isn't it? 😉States10 yearsGot a call on my Swedish number from someone who said their name was Jordan. They knew my name and wanted to talk to me about my Windows computer. When I asked them who they were working for, they just hung up straight away. Like others have said, I felt really dodgy about it. It seems like they've got a list of names and numbers and try to trick people by using your name right away. Honestly, I’d avoid answering if you get a call from this number.Jordan10 yearsgot a call from someone claiming to be from microsoft tech support. when i asked them for their contact number so i could ring them back and check, they just ended the call. definitely sounds like a scam to me. dont give them any details or let them get onto your device!Microsoft10 yearsFor the past week, I’ve been getting calls every day from people, both guys and ladies, with an African accent. They keep saying there’s a problem with my Windows PC. I’ve seen plenty of warnings on the news recently about these scams - they try to convince you to turn on your computer and log in so they can steal your passwords and bank info. I just tell them I only use a Mac and not a Windows machine, then they usually just hang up. Best to be careful and not follow any of their instructions!10 yearsThe first call I couldn't really catch what they were saying as I couldn't hear properly. When they rang the second time, they just ended the call right after I answered. Seems like they're just being annoying, but you never know, it might be risky.10 yearsMy parents got calls from this firm twice in just a couple of days, and they keep ringing even after I told them straight up that what they’re really after is stealing. The callers probably don’t realise they’re just pawns for crooks. They seem to think they have proper jobs. But the person they put you through to is the actual scammer. Stay cautious and look after yourself. It’s best to just hang up and not get drawn into chatting.10 yearsHad calls from both a bloke and a lass claiming to be from computer support, but it's just a cheeky scam.10 yearsgot a call from someone claiming they needed into my computer. when i asked where he was calling from, he said "windows." so i asked which windows, and he replied "the one in california." then i asked what the weather was like there, and he just said "good." seemed like a total phishing scam to me. got really hostile when i questioned what info he was after on my pc.California10 yearsLike a few others here, this bloke had a really thick Asian accent but an oddly English name. He reckoned there was something wrong with my Windows PC. I was already annoyed when he called, so we ended up having a bit of a heated exchange. Honestly, I felt a bit lighter after letting it out, so it wasn’t all bad in the end.10 yearsThey ring me daily, I even saw them mentioned on Watchdog. Complete con job, no doubt. I just shout and swear at these dodgy guys from India who pretend to have American names. It's hilarious watching them get annoyed - they never seem to quit the hassle!10 yearsThey claim to be from Microsoft and want you to link up to the internet. Usually, the first person has a really thick, badly spoken Asian accent. But if you go along with it and connect, they pass you on to someone who sounds smarter, but then they start swearing and getting annoyed when you don’t go along with their plan. I kinda like wasting their time when I’m feeling bored!Microsoft10 yearsI just got a call from someone saying they’d found issues with my Windows PC. Sounded dodgy if you ask me. Didn’t trust it one bit.10 yearsToday I got two calls from this number, both times it was people who sounded Asian. Definitely don’t let them get any info from you.10 yearsThese people claim they're with the Windows support team and say your computer's got some nasty virus that's been downloaded. They want you to let them get into your system, but don't fall for it. Never give them remote access - they're just scammers.Submit Your Own Report (01494 870917)
