Got a ring from this number earlier, some woman with a thick Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. She said my PC was sending out some suspicious alerts and had been hacked. When I asked if she needed my bank details or PIN, she flipped and accused me of being racist because of how she sounded! Totally a scam.

We got a call from them today around half past twelve here in North Yorkshire, but as soon as we picked up, they just ended the call. Lately, seems like we get loads of these dodgy calls around lunch time. It's so annoying having to pick up for no one to be there! Big thanks to others who've shared their stories about this number, we've taken note and blocked it now.

I've been getting calls from 01618209652 and they keep asking if I'm the owner of my computer. It’s a bit suspicious, so I’m not sure what their real deal is. Anyone else had this happen? It feels like a possible scam or some sort of tech support trick. Just thought I’d share in case others get the same.

BEWARE OF SCAMS! If you get one of these dodgy calls or messages, make sure you report it straight to the police fraud database. Just search for ‘action fraud’ and head to the ‘police.uk’ website. Find the section to report phishing, read through everything, then put in all the details about the scam. If there’s a link or web address, include that as well. You don’t need to sign up, and they won’t ask for personal info unless you’ve actually lost money. The only way the police can track and fight these crooks is if everyone reports every suspicious call or text they get.
