5 yearsPurported to be a representative from Microsoft.Microsoft5 yearsI got a call today from some number I didn’t recognise, and it was this recorded voice saying I’d just renewed my Amazon Prime and owed them cash. Thing is, I’m not even signed up to Amazon Prime! I don’t ever hand over my details or money to these scammers. This is the third time today they’ve tried calling me from different numbers. Proper annoying!Amazon Prime5 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from Windows, saying he needed to discuss a computer or laptop at my place. I told him the person he wanted wasn't here and asked him to explain what it was about. He was a bit hesitant, so I made it clear that without a good reason, he wasn't going to speak to anyone. Definitely a scam, so I ended the call. Most times, I say I'm 90 and don't have a computer, but that rarely stops them. I always block their numbers, but I can imagine some folks might fall for it.5 yearsThis bloke was trying to convince me that my computer was hacked and sending dodgy messages, blaming me for all their illegal stuff. I played along, kept chatting, and when he wanted me to turn the PC on so he could send messages, I said I was busy having tea and watching Bargain Hunt. He said he’d ring back another time. Total con artists!Bargain Hunt5 yearsGot a call from 01617335102 claiming to be from Visa, trying to check my details - total scam alert!5 yearsI got a call from 01617335102, but there was complete silence on the other end. Seems pretty clear to me it was just one of those scam calls.5 yearsI recently received a call from 01617335102 claiming to be for Visa verification, and it completely reeked of a scam.5 yearsI got a call from someone about my computer licence, sounded proper dodgy. I told him to bugger off in my best Anglo Saxon and that seemed to throw him a bit. He then asked if I wanted to chat to another person, which was just weird, so I ended it by blocking him straight away. Honestly, I reckon this is really risky stuff, so if you get the same, just hang up and don’t bother with them.5 yearsGuy with an accent, sounded like some tech scammer.5 yearsI ended up on the phone for about 15 minutes with a scammer. I told them I was a Microsoft technician, and they just kept going, acting like a kid caught doing something wrong. They even bragged, saying there’s loads of people they fool and take cash from. Pretty cheeky bloke who seemed fine with ripping people off. He openly said he had no morals and was quite proud of it.Microsoft5 yearsTotal con artists trying to get into my computer, complete rubbish!5 yearsGot a call from a bloke asking to speak to me but my missus picked up and said I wasn't home. He said he’d call again later. Feels a bit dodgy, probably a scam.5 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent chatting to my dad, and straight away it felt dodgy. He was going on about my dad’s laptop being hacked and said only their company could sort it out, asking for all kinds of usage info. Told my dad to ask for their company name and phone number, which he did. When I heard what they were after, it all sounded off, like a classic scam. The stuff they mentioned didn’t add up at all if you know a bit about tech. Definitely don’t hand over any details, it’s just a scam.5 yearsGot a call but couldn’t pick up, no voicemail left so figured it was probably some sort of spam.5 yearsI called back 01617335102 but there was no voicemail left after I got put through to the answerphone.5 yearsToday I got a call from this number, but all I could hear was weird crackling and no one said a word. Then I checked my recent calls and saw I'd been dialled from the exact number last week too. When I answered then, the person said they were from some business I'd never heard of and started asking for my personal info. Quite dodgy if you ask me.5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but they hung up as soon as the answer machine started.5 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent who said she needed to discuss something about my laptop and Windows. I told her straight up that I don’t own a computer, then I just blocked the number.5 yearsThis lady with a foreign accent said she was calling from Microsoft Windows. I told her I don’t use it and she got really nasty and pushy. Then I said my husband works for BT and can track the call, and she quickly hung up.5 yearsGot a call from a woman with an accent who wanted to chat to some “Mrs Williams” about her computer. We've had these sorts of calls before, so ended up blocking the number now.Williams5 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent who kept struggling to say the letter W. He kept talking about "vindows," which made me think this was a scam. Seems like he was trying to trick people into giving him access to their computer. I reckon they want to take control, maybe steal info or lock you out. Later, they’d probably demand money to unlock your computer, which by then would be compromised. Definitely dodgy!5 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent sayin' there’s issues with my PC. Asked for access but thankfully the number was blocked, so I just hung up - definite scam alert!5 yearsSomebody I didn’t recognise called, but they just cut off before saying anything.5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Windows saying my licence was about to be terminated. I told them I didn’t need a licence to use my laptop anyway. They kept going on about terminating it, but I just said I was ending the call and hung up on them.5 yearsI got a call from someone with what sounded like an Asian accent, though it kind of felt fake or forced. They knew my name and even mentioned my address, which freaked me out a bit. The bloke started going on about some "computer licence" I supposedly had. I ended the call pretty quick after that. It’s worrying how they had such personal info.6 yearsSomebody called saying their name was David Johnson with an Asian accent, asking if they could check my Windows licence on my computer. Bit suspicious if you ask me.David Johnson6 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who was going on about my Windows computer not working properly.
