Honestly, how come these bloody phone scams never get put to an end? It’s got to be illegal, right? Drives me mad, especially when they end up waking my baby who’s finally asleep! So annoying!

This number called me this morning, and just like others have said, it was a woman with an Asian accent on the phone. She claimed there was something wrong with my PC. I told her it was working alright. Then she said eventually my computer would start acting up and slow down. I told her I could handle any issues myself if that ever happen. She insisted that wasn’t true and I’d have to get their assistance. I just laughed and said I’m an IT pro, then she hung up on me!!!

Got a ring just now but ignored it. When I tried ringing back, couldn’t get through. Sounds like a predictive dialling setup to me. It’s a bit concerning that these sorts of calls still get through now and then, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to keep going…

Got a call earlier and the person was blabbering on about viruses and infections on my computer. Thing is, my setup's running Linux, so that didn’t add up. I told them what they were saying was rubbish and they just ended the call straightaway.

Got a call from some con artist asking for my mother-in-law, who hasn’t lived here for decades - she actually passed away back in ’99. When I mentioned that, he started going on about some virus on my computer, like one of those classic scams. I just called him out on being a fraud and having rubbish info, then ended the call.

I just got a call on this number from a woman who said her name was something like Sharon Cross. I say something like because her accent was so thick, sounded Asian, I had trouble catching what she was saying. She mentioned tech support and a helpline or something along those lines, but nothing made much sense. Pretty obvious to me it was a total scam!!

Had a call from a woman with a strong foreign accent, I think she might’ve been from India. She said it was regarding my computer, and gave my name too. Thing is, even though it’s my computer, the BT account is under my hubby’s name. So, I just blew my little whistle next to the phone three times - kept it nearby exactly for moments like this!

Got a call from this number on the 29th October 2014 around 1:55 pm. The person was chatting about computers and files, but his voice was really unclear. When I asked him which company he was calling from, he just hung up straight away.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be from a tech firm. He told me there were viruses on my computer and that I needed to open it up. My husband’s in IT, so I know our antivirus is all sorted and current. I asked him why exactly I should open my computer, and the more I grilled him, the less he wanted to chat. In the end, he just cut me off and slammed the phone down! Total scam, no doubt.

This morning I got a call from them and I just chuckled. Told them their scam's been around for like three years and everyone’s onto it now. Told them they’ll have to try a different trick. Then they just ended the call.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who was talking really fast. This is the second time he's tried reaching out, asking specifically for my son. He claimed to be from some Tech company and said he wanted to fix software issues my son supposedly had. I told him the police had warned us not to deal with anyone from his firm, and he just cut the call. Total scam, watch out!

Got a call from a woman speaking with a strong Asian accent, claiming my computer had a virus and asked me to access it. She mentioned there was something wrong with my Windows and said she was from the "Tech Support." I told her I'd get in touch with Microsoft because she sounded like a fraud. Then the phone just cut off!

Got a ring from this bloke earlier, some Asian guy claiming to be Jimmy Wilson. He wanted me to switch on my computer so he could help me install some kind of software. I asked him if he knew my name and address, he only managed to get a bit of my postcode right. Then I questioned how he even knew my PC had nasty software on it. His only answer was for me to open up my computer. After a bit, he sounded annoyed and just ended the call.

This has all the signs of a scam. The man on the phone said his name was Peter Jackson and claimed to be from some sort of "software maintenance team for the Windows OS," but he wouldn't give a proper company name or address. I asked to speak to his supervisor, but he flat out refused. You could hear loads of people chatting and making calls in the background, which made it clear it was coming from a call centre. When I asked if he worked for Microsoft, he said no. Then he wanted me to describe exactly what's on my screen, but I told him that info was private and asked again for his company details. Still, he wouldn't reveal anything. When I tried calling his number back to find out more, I just got a message saying the number wasn’t in service. Definitely dodgy.

Is there seriously no way to stop these calls? I’ve had them a few times now - out of the blue, someone rings up saying my IP address was being accessed and they need to confirm it’s me by asking for the IP. The minute I try to ask more questions, they just drop the call. Definitely sounds suspicious to me!!!

Someone called me, asked straight for me by name and then wanted to know if I was the primary user of the home computer. On that day I was expecting a broadband technician, so I figured it might be connected. I asked her to explain what she meant about being the main computer user. She told me she was calling from Microsoft’s technical support about the computer’s internet access. It all felt pretty dodgy to me, so I said I was going to report it to the police, and she just ended the call immediately.

Even though I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list, you keep ringing me up. I can report this and you might face legal action. If you need to get in touch, why not send a letter the traditional way instead?

I got a call saying my computer’s got some kind of virus in it. Honestly, I’m freaked out, thinking it might be like Ebola or something spreading through my internet. Can someone tell me if it’s safe to use my computer? Need help!

Got a call from a woman claiming to be from Microsoft’s tech team, and she called me by my name - though she really butchered the pronunciation! When I asked why she was calling, she started asking about the computer we use at home to go online. It all felt sus, so I told her I’d be contacting the Police, and she quickly ended the call. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.

Got a call from an Asian lady asking if there were any issues with a computer delivery I’d received. I said I hadn’t ordered any computer at all. She then tried to ask if I was having trouble with any computer or laptop in general, but when I didn’t respond, she just ended the call. Definitely a scam attempt!

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who told my missus that our laptop's antivirus wasn’t current and that viruses were getting through. He asked her to turn on her laptop, but luckily she didn’t fall for it. Really glad she didn’t allow them anywhere near the device. These calls are proper dodgy, don’t let strangers near your computer - they might nick your personal info or even your banking details. Stay safe out there!

Honestly, it’s as easy as pie, I reckon. The moment those blighters give you a bell, just tell them to “go away” or something along those lines. They just won't take the hint, but it does seem to rile them up a bit!
