I've been getting calls from this number that are completely silent - it's not just once, it keeps happening and honestly it's really starting to get on my nerves.

Got a call today from someone pretending to be with Microsoft Windows, saying my computer had viruses. They wanted me to give them remote access so they could "show me" and sort it out. No chance, not falling for that!

Ended up blocking the number. They’re probably making cash from every call they ring through. What a bunch of muppets.

Let it ring through to voicemail but nothing was recorded. I'm definitely going to block this number!

They called me back to back twice. After seeing what others said, I’ve blocked the number right away.

This number rings me loads but never drops a message. I reckon they probably don’t know who I am, otherwise they’d leave a note or ping me an email with more details, right?

Today I got a call for the 4th time now, this one from a Manchester area code. I didn’t pick up and just let it ring through to voicemail like always. Not even a single message left. Definitely just another annoying spam call.

I was under the impression they banned silent calls already!

About six minutes back, this number rang me, but I quickly hit the block call button and it cut the call off.

I got a call from someone claiming to be a Windows support agent, sounded Indian, saying they’d been getting error reports linked to my IP. I acted like I couldn’t hear properly so he had to keep repeating himself. When I asked for my IP address, he just guessed, giving me a nine-digit number, which is way off since mine is twelve digits. His English was pretty hard to follow and eventually he passed me over to his "supervisor," some bloke called Harry Johnson. It was obvious they were in a busy call centre because I heard others telling people to open the Event Viewer through the CMD prompt. Harry got all annoyed and kept shouting "You’re not listening to me!" over and over until I just shut up. Then he claimed it wasn’t my IP but my Windows licence causing the problem. When I asked him to provide my licence number, he snapped at me for wasting his time and cash, then just hung up. The numbers he called from were 0161 724 8142 and 0203 4091 774.
