Got a call, but no one said a word on the other end. Proper silent call.

I got a call from this person who seemed to just want to vent, maybe 'cause someone had upset her earlier. I tried to hear her out, but it quickly felt like she was having a go at me. I had to cut her off because I've got my own problems, like Alzheimer's, and don't really need that kind of stress on top!

Got a call out of the blue that felt like a scam. Definitely didn’t want to answer it.

Some bloke rang up claiming he was from Microsoft and insisted my PC had some kind of virus. I played along for a while, pretending I was doing what he said but kept saying it didn’t add up. He kept telling me to check some Windows directory but I kept saying it wasn’t there. Managed to throw him off for a bit. After a while, I told him I actually run Linux, not Windows, and that ended the call sharpish.

I said thanks to the person who called saying they were from Microsoft, told them they were doing well, and then they just hung up on me.

Not sure what that was about, she just went off accusing me of saying stuff about her when I’ve never even talked to her before. Proper rude, if you ask me…

Someone rang up claiming to be from Microsoft and wanted me to switch on my computer and follow what they said. I refused and ended the call. Later, they called again, started shouting and threatening to block my computer. I just told them to do their worst.

I chose not to pick up a number I didn’t recognise, and after seeing what others have said about it, I’m glad I did. Seems like the smart move from what people are saying.

So I got a call from a woman with what sounded like an Indian or Pakistani accent, saying she was from Microsoft about an issue with my computer. Right away, I got suspicious. I told her my PC was fine and that I wasn’t falling for any tricks, then ended the call. Like others have mentioned, she did know my name, which honestly worries me a bit.

We got a call from a woman with an Indian accent who kept saying there was a problem with our computer's security. I’ve had loads of scam calls like that pretending to be from Microsoft before, so I just hung up. She phoned again twice, and on the third call she got really shouty and started yelling at my husband to get me back on the line!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. He asked, "Are you the primary user of the computer?" So I replied, "What computer?" which seemed to confuse him a bit, like it wasn’t in his usual lines. I let him talk for a few minutes but eventually told him he was just a scammer and a liar. Then he hung up. Quite amusing really.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from Microsoft, claiming there were problems with my PC. I told her I wasn't buying it and ended the call. Then she rang back, asking why I'd cut her off. She insisted she could back up her story if I let her access my administrator account to check the messages. I just hung up again. Haven't heard from her since.

just got loads of annoying calls on my landline from a new manchester number claiming to be microsoft - total scam! also this morning, a glasgow number 01412803852 left a voicemail about some white goods insurance, but looks like it’s one of those newer numbers that’s been ringing heaps of landlines recently. both just scams trying to waste people’s time.

Some bloke claiming to be Henry Scott from Microsoft phoned up. He even knew my mum’s maiden name and kept saying her PC was hacked or something. He wanted me to check some messages and log into the computer for him. I told him to jog on and then he had the cheek to ring back a couple of times after we ended the call!

I got a call supposedly from Microsoft, saying they were from Reading and wanted to speak to the primary user of the computer. I told them it’s a shared computer that many people use. They just ended the call straight away. Definitely seemed dodgy to me.

Got a call from some random number, I answered but nobody said a word. Then the line just went dead. Pretty sure it was one of those annoying scam calls. I’ve blocked it now - could be dodgy but mostly just annoying.

Got a call from this number earlier today and they actually used my name. The guy said he was with Microsoft and had quite a strong Asian accent. He claimed my computer was hacked and my info was being misused all across the UK. The way he spoke was kinda odd, like he was holding back a laugh, and you could hear some chuckling from other people nearby in the background. I just ended the call and put the number on my BT block list straight away.

Some lady rang up and asked if I was Mr ****"** but I told her no, this is Jim Browning. After that, she just vanished like she was never there. I reckon she was probably using a fake number or something.

Got a call from a woman looking for someone who doesn’t live at my place. I told her that, and mentioned she called about a month ago asking for the same person, but she straight up denied it. Probably some debt collector mucking about. Then, about half an hour later, they called again but just silence on the line. Tried ringing back, but the number seems to be unreachable or doesn’t exist.

I got a call where the person asked straight for me by name, which felt a bit odd. My husband picked up and asked who was on the line, and then the caller just hung up without saying anything.

Got a call from a woman asking for someone who's not at this address. Told her he doesn’t live here, and mentioned they called about a month ago asking for him too, but she just denied it. Might be one of those debt collector scams. Then about half an hour later, they rang again but stayed totally quiet. Tried calling back and the number came up as unreachable or non-existent.

This bloke has been ringing me nonstop all day. I’ve tried blocking his number but he somehow gets through every time. I’ve stopped picking up when I see his number on the screen now. Just a minute ago, he called from another number, 02476019910, and even after I hung up, he kept phoning again and again. Such a pain!
