They told me to ring them back on another number. I’d have thought the government would sort these out by now, or maybe the phone provider is letting these scammers use their lines. But I suppose every annoying call just means a few quid in the phone company’s pocket, so who cares about the little bloke, right?HMRC11 yearsThey claim to be representatives from Microsoft, insisting that they require remote access to resolve an issue with your computer. Be wary, as they also suggest that if you share your banking information, they will keep deducting payments from your account.Microsoft11 yearsMy aunt unfortunately fell for a Microsoft scam and ended up losing £2000. It's really scary how convincing these fraudsters can be.Microsoft11 yearsI received a call from a chap named Alex Shah, who claimed to be from Microsoft based in Leicester.

I found it really intimidating.Austin EdwardsMicrosoft11 yearsI received a phone call from an individual named Austin Edward, who asserted he was representing Microsoft.
