Got a call earlier today from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Support. They said my computer had been flagged for serious issues like viruses and potential crashes. They told me to press the Windows key and R. I played along for quite a while, acting like I was following their instructions, until they figured out I wasn't falling for it and just ended the call.

This number called me around 1:09pm today. The man on the line sounded like he was working in a busy call centre in India and was trying to tell me my computer was compromised. I played along for a bit, pretending to believe what he was saying. He then told me to press the Windows key and Ctrl together on my keyboard, but I didn’t do that. Instead, I asked if I could get his number to ring him back later, and right after that, he just hung up on me.

There was loads of racket in the background, like about 15 people all shouting “I’m calling about your computer” at the same time. I told them my computer was for the Government and that I had to let them know the call was getting recorded for training, and that they’d have to get permission from MI6 first. They just hung up straight away. Felt good messing about with the scammers like that.

Just got a call from this number around 11:30 today. For some odd reason, i picked up but stayed quiet waiting for them to talk first. Nothing at all, then they just cut the call. Later, i looked up the number here and it looks like a scam call. Maybe I should try my luck on a lottery ticket too since my gut feeling was right this time!

Got a call from someone asking if I had a computer, I told em no but they just kept going on and on about praying for Syria. Like seriously, they kept saying “pray for the Syrian people” over and over again. Quite weird tbh.

Got a call like loads of others here - first nothing, then this bloke with an Indian accent starts chatting about some problem with my computer. Didn’t bother saying anything back, just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from this number where the person said they were from Microsoft. I mentioned I’m with a big international security firm and we handle our own internet protection. Then the caller snapped at me, saying ‘you’re a bloody idiot, wasting my time’. Well, that was charming, wasn’t it? Haha.

Just like the others mentioned, I got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from Windows. I told him that Microsoft never rings people up out of the blue and that I actually used to work for them. He didn’t take it well, started swearing at me, and then just dropped the call. Lovely!

When I picked up, there was no one on the line. I checked the number with 1471 and it showed as 01523658974. This was actually the second spam call I’d had this morning. The first one was from a bloke who never said his name or where he was calling from. I heard loads of strange sounds in the background, including a woman mentioning Microsoft. I ended the call right away but didn’t get a chance to note the number or use 1471 then. Used to get loads of fake Microsoft calls before, but this was the first one I'd had in quite a while.

My mum, who’s 99, got a couple of calls from some bloke overseas who talked way too quickly for her to catch anything. I called 1471 to find out the number and got it. I’m thinking of contacting BT to see if they can help, but I’m not holding my breath.

Got a bloke on the phone speaking with an Indian accent saying he's from Microsoft. He reckons my PC's got issues that need sorting. Sounds like a complete con if you ask me.

Yesterday, this number rang again and luckily my husband answered it. He’s quite cautious about calls like this and asked the caller a few questions. The guy said his name was Kevin Hefner and claimed to be calling from Thames Valley Park, but he spoke with an Indian accent. When my husband asked for his phone number, he gave 1800 783 21 and another one, 7025835515. My husband warned him that he’d report the call to the police, but it didn’t seem to bother the caller at all. After hanging up, I dialled 1471 and, no surprise, it was the exact number that called me a few weeks back.

Got a ring from this same number yet again around 2pm on 27th Jan 2018. The bloke sounded Indian and was pretending to be from Microsoft like always. Total con, going on about how my computer was supposedly infected. I told him to jog on and called him a muppet, asking if he really thought people still fell for that rubbish. He just hung up on me.

Received a call from this number once more at precisely 14:00 on the 27th of January, 2018. The chap on the other end had an accent reminiscent of India and proclaimed he was representing Microsoft yet again. It's the same old trick, alleging they were "investigating" and had noticed my computer was compromised. I told him to do one, called him a plonker, and suggested he should recognise that most of us have wised up to these dodgy tactics. He promptly ended the call.

I received a call from the number 01523 658974 at around 10:20 on the 27th of January, 2018. The person on the line had a distinctly strong African accent and asserted he was representing Microsoft. It was clearly a scam attempt, following that tired old routine of claiming to investigate a supposed virus on my computer. I made it clear to him what I thought, calling him an absolute muppet and pointing out that everyone is in the know about these dodgy tactics nowadays. He didn't take kindly to that and promptly ended the call.

Got a call from 01523658974 around 10:20 on January 27th, 2018. The person on the other end had a pretty thick African accent and said they were from Microsoft. Classic scam rubbish about my PC being infected or something. I just told him he must be daft and that people aren’t falling for this nonsense anymore. He didn’t bother arguing and just ended the call.

This bloke claiming to be from Microsoft had a heavy African accent, and weirdly, I could hear another guy talking in the background, also with an African accent. Their voices sounded all echoey, like they were in a big empty space. Definitely seems dodgy, especially if they ask for your money. Watch out!

I’m not really on Facebook or Twitter, but it would be great if someone who is could tag Microsoft - they probably keep an eye on those mentions - and push them to crack down on these obvious scammers pretending to be 'Microsoft Windows'. With all their global power, they should be able to shut these pests down and save us from the annoyance of these daft calls. Fingers crossed not too many people get taken in by this nonsense from these fraudsters.

This lady said she was ringing about our Windows PC. I just told her to find someone less sharp to bother. Not the politest reply, but it was all I could come up with in a rush to show I wasn't fooled. She had an Indian or Pakistani accent, and there was loads of noise behind her, like a busy call centre full of people targeting innocent folk.

The call started out about some issue with our Windows computer, but when my wife told them they’ve got the wrong number, the caller suddenly asked if she wanted to “have sex with me”. She quickly replied “No thanks, leave me alone!” and ended the call. The number showed up as international, but it had a UK landline number 01523 658 974 on the caller ID.

At first, he said he was calling from Windows. But when I asked a bit more, he changed it to some computer firm on Victoria Street in London. He told me there was an issue with my PC and then asked how I knew about it and if I had hacked it. After that, he lost it and just hung up on me.
