0156498641

Typical nonsense, claiming they were attempting to fix my computer. Don't share any information with them, and for goodness' sake, don't return their calls. It's all a con! - Caller: 0156498641

This morning, I received a rather dubious phone call from a chap claiming my computer was in dire straits with a virus infestation. I found myself chuckling and remarked that he’d be lucky if I turned it on for him. He seemed perplexed and inquired what I meant by ‘lucky,’ but before I could elaborate, the line went completely dead. Definitely a scammer trying to pull a fast one!

Received a call from this number a short while ago-around five minutes back. I decided to investigate the digits. There was quite a noticeable pause before anyone uttered a word, so I simply set my phone down. The number in question is 0156498641.

I've had a couple of rather intense phone calls from a chap named "Michael," claiming to be from Microsoft. He insists that he’s there to assist with a dire issue concerning my computer. Truth be told, there’s indeed a significant problem that cropped up just yesterday. Made me ponder how on earth he was aware of it! He seemed quite perturbed when I mentioned that I already had a tech specialist in my abode, diligently attempting to salvage all my files. - Caller: Michael, supposedly from Microsoft.

I received a call from a woman whose accent was quite distinctively West Country. She seemed to be droning on about Windows serial numbers and some hacking business. She inquired whether I was at my computer. When I mentioned that I couldn't get to it at that moment, she abruptly hung up. The name on my caller ID was ‘Windows’. Quite the odd encounter, to say the least!

I received a rather peculiar phone call from a chap with a distinct American accent. He introduced himself as Max and claimed there was an issue with my Windows-licensed computer. The problem is, I don’t even own one! Naturally, I inquired why on earth he was calling me, but his answers were rather elusive. He rambled on about Windows and then mentioned that it was registered in my daughter’s name, who hasn't lived at home for quite some time, and certainly hasn't set up a new computer recently. When I pressed him for more details, he began to chatter about hackers attempting to infiltrate my "server." I had to inform him I don’t possess a server at all! I probed him on who he was representing, and he mumbled something about being a technician for some company with ‘Global’ in its name. I told him I don’t receive services from them, to which he oddly named my broadband provider - that felt a bit too close for comfort and left me questioning how he managed to acquire that info. He deflected my inquiries and returned to the topic of hackers, claiming they would strike within days, perhaps even tomorrow. At that point, I asked for the identity of these hackers, or whether he himself, Max, was one of them. Oddly enough, that seemed to send him packing, as he abruptly ended the call! - Caller: 0156498641

Had a run-in with a phone scammer, and I certainly let Robina know exactly what I thought of her tactics. Admittedly, I did get a bit short with them this time, but sometimes that’s what’s needed. - Caller ID: 0156498641

I just had a rather intriguing phone call from this number, so I promptly switched off my computer just to be on the safe side. I indulged the caller for about ten minutes, curious to see where it would lead. I inquired about his address and postcode, and also how much he was earning for this charming little gig. He claimed to be calling from the UK, specifically York St in London, WS1 1DP, seemingly oblivious that that’s actually a postcode for Walsall. The number he was using is non-existent. When I mentioned that they’re regularly exposed on television for scamming people, he insisted it wasn’t a scam. Eventually, when I told him I didn't have a computer at all, he abruptly hung up! So much for the Windows Technical team!

I've had a phone call much like the one from JMW. The caller alleged that there were error messages popping up on my computer. Let me tell you, it’s a complete scam! The intention is to install some sort of tracking software on your device (I’m not entirely certain of the exact jargon). This has been circulating for quite some time, so do keep your wits about you! - Caller claimed to be from a Windows support team.

I've received yet another bothersome call about computers. As someone trying to manage a business, it’s imperative I can respond to genuine customers rather than these pesky interruptions. Unfortunately, the Telephone Preference Service doesn’t seem to filter out these sorts of nuisances effectively. It’s high time that the telecom providers and the government took action to tackle these irritating and harassing phone calls. - Caller: Computer Fraudsters

I've just received a rather peculiar call from this number. A woman on the line asserted she was with the Windows maintenance team, claiming that there were some issues reported concerning my computer. She requested if I could sit down at my machine for a quick three-minute task to locate a supposed virus. When I suggested she send an email detailing the issue, she insisted that wasn’t an option and emphasised the urgency behind her call. I didn’t feel right about the whole exchange, so I decided to terminate the conversation. The call had a weird delay, making it seem like it had come from across the pond.

I received a call from a seemingly silent number, likely a business employing an automated dialling system. It seems they've not got sufficient personnel on hand to manage incoming calls!

I keep getting calls from this very same number, and it baffles me. Whenever we mention that Microsoft isn’t actually making these calls, some folks stubbornly maintain that they’re from the Windows tech support team. It’s rather perplexing, isn't it?
