Got a call from 2227979999 again, total scam! Avoid at all costs.

Got a call today from some bloke claiming to be from Windows tech support, said my internet was totally unsafe or something daft like that. I told him straight up he sounded like a hacker and ended the call. Then, he called me back like twice, asking why I’d cut him off! Honestly, he was pushy and quite rude. Make sure you tell your mates and family to watch out - this number’s definitely a scam.

I just got a call from these people saying there was a problem with my windows. I ended the call straight away. Then the same guy, speaking with poor English, phoned again. I hung up once more. He tried calling a third time. Definitely a scam.

Got a call from this number. Picked up but all I heard was silence before it just suddenly cut off.

Got a call this morning while I was still in bed, so I didn't pick up. Checked out this site and found out it’s one of those computer hacker scams. Can’t believe there isn’t some official agency that sorts these things out!

Got a call from someone claiming to be IT support for my computer. She wanted to know if my computer was switched on (I said yes, thinking of my iPad). Then she asked if I could see the icons on the screen. That's when I said I don't actually use a computer, just my iPad. After that, she just ended the call without another word. Makes me wonder what she was trying to get me to do. It's a Luton number too - hope they can track these lot down and shut them off.

I picked up the phone and they wanted to talk to the person who owns the computer. Their English was pretty bad. I told them I don’t own a computer and then they just ended the call.

Got a phone call earlier, they asked for me but when my other half asked what it was about, he said something about my computer. Then the bloke asked if my partner was family, and when he said no, the guy with the Asian accent just dropped the call. Sort of weird, honestly.

Called some “computer support” number and it felt dodgy, like they might try to hack into my PC or something. Decided to just end the call before they could do anything. Felt fishy right from the start.

Got a call looking for my husband, but when he wasnt around, they turned to me. They wanted me to type something into the run box to ‘fix’ my computer. I told them they’d already messed it up and just ended the call. Felt pretty good stringing them along after they wasted my time! Haha. Claimed to be a tech support team for all Windows and Macs - total scam artists!

Got a call from this number today, some guy asked for my mum. I told him she wasn’t home, and he asked if I was family. I said yes and asked what it was about. He sounded Asian and claimed he was from the IT Helpdesk since my mum supposedly got in touch with them about setting up her computer. I told him we never contacted anyone, then he asked about a laptop, which we don’t have either, so I just ended the call. Seriously, how do these people get hold of our private details? It’s kinda worrying!

Got a call from someone asking if I had a computer, told them I didn’t. Then they asked about a laptop and I said no again. They said sorry for bothering me, but their voice had a strong Indian accent. Tried ringing them back and got told I’d dialled the wrong number. What kind of weird scam is this?

Got calls on both my phones this afternoon, about 2.50pm on the 27th of August, saying something about illegal downloads on my computer from internet browsing. I just said I wasn’t bothered and ended the call straight away.
