On 24th May 2019, I got a call from Christine who was ringing from Lauder, Scotland, using the number 01578 813 834. Then a few days later, on the 27th May at 10:11 am, she phoned again but from Llandovery in Wales on 01550 532 515. She wanted to know about our computers. Just FYI, all of them are in perfect working order. That’s that.

Today, I got a phone call from a guy who had an Asian-sounding accent and said his name was Jerry Reci. He claimed he was from a Microsoft department and that they’d been trying to reach me about my Windows ID being compromised because someone was supposedly using my details to ask for money. He said my computer had been hacked, and if I didn’t do what he said, I’d lose my Windows. I didn’t feel right about it at all and told him no. It’s obvious this was just a scam.

Got a call from a bloke claiming he was from Windows, saying my computer had been hacked or something. I told him straight up I didn’t buy it and asked for his number. He gave me 01619326141. The guy was really pushy and kept trying to keep me on the line like he was hoping I'd fall for it. Didn’t have time for that so I just cut him off in the middle of what he was saying.

I got a call earlier where they claimed my PC was hacked and loads of dodgy stuff was happening on it with people in the background. Before I handed over any details, I asked for their contact number, which they said was 01619326141. Apparently, they wanted my licence number. After looking up this number here, I’ve decided not to call back at all.

Someone called me earlier today from 07031447421 saying my name was being used to scam people out of money, pretending to need help, and that my licence was going to be revoked because of it. The caller claimed to be from Microsoft support, but I didn’t catch his name. When I looked the number up online, it was different from theirs. I asked why he wasn’t calling from an official number and he claimed their phone lines were computer generated, then offered me his manager's contact (01619326141). I wasn’t buying it. Then he tried to get me to enter a licence number into my computer, but I said it was turned off. My baby started crying, so he asked if he could call me tomorrow instead. I said yes, and he told me not to turn on my PC until he called back. Something felt off, I’m pretty sure this is a scam.

On 24th January, I got two calls from 0201 5245434 saying my computer was hacked. When I asked who they were, the woman said she was from Windows customer support, so I just ended the call. Then today, the same number rang again, a man said his name was Mike Reed. I told him I'd already been contacted yesterday and had checked with Microsoft who said it was a scam. He then said he’d ring me back from 0161 9326141. Honestly, if you see these numbers pop up, just hang up and block them - tell your mates too!

Got a phone call from 07215245246 earlier. The woman claimed to be from Windows and told me my computer was hacked, so they had to cancel my licence.

Got a call from someone named Helen claiming my computer was hacked - typical scam stuff. I've dealt with these kinds of calls before and usually find they come from Mumbai. I like to mess with them a bit and keep them chatting to waste their time, hopefully stopping them from targeting others. I kept Helen talking for around 10 minutes, then cheekily asked if I could ring her back on her personal number, maybe while she was having dinner with her family. That’s when she cut me off.

Today, my mum and dad got a call claiming to be from 'Windows Licensing'. They said their computer was infected or something like that. When they asked who they were and where to call back, the guy grudgingly gave the name Derek Offer and the number you see here. I'm not even sure if that's the right name or if it's spelled right. Also, the bloke was quite cheeky and rude when they tried to get more info.

Twice now I've been phoned by someone claiming my Facebook account was hacked and that messages were being sent out in my name. They demanded £200 to fix it straight away. Of course I told them it was a scam and refused to pay. They even tried to argue with me, but I just ended the call. It's unbelievable the nerve they have. Preying on pensioners like that is just wrong. I really hope the authorities catch up with these people - how they live with themselves is beyond me!

My elderly dad recieved a call from an asian guy sayin his computer was full of viruses. He managed to convince dad to switch it on, askin loads of questions and had him clickin on different links. Lucky for me, I was just poppin round to see him and stepped in to take the call. I asked the bloke who he was and what his number was. He gave me a number, 01619326141, sayin he was from Windows customer support. I ended the call imediatly and shut down dad’s computer. The number the asian fella rang from was a mobile.

I've been getting calls from a woman named Mary claiming she's from Microsoft. She says my computer's been hacked and that people are trying to get money off it. Apparently she needs details from my computer to fix it, or else they'll just shut it down. First off, Windows never calls you out of the blue, and secondly, I'd probably make more cash hawking curry than whatever nonsense she's on about.

Someone called me with an Asian accent, claiming to be from BT and said there was an issue with my router. I told them I suspected it was a scam. Then another person, also with an accent, came on and said he was a police officer, threatening to send me to prison if I didn’t obey. I don’t even have a BT service or any router. Definitely a scam, and I've reported it to the cops.

Got a bloke calling me up three times this week, sounded Asian, kept saying something about my internet router being faulty and needing to look at the lights. I’ve hung up on him a couple of times, but he kept calling back. When I told him I’d report it because it’s getting annoying, he got rude and threatened to keep ringing me. I just ended the call after that. Honestly, it’s getting a bit distressing.

On the 29th of August I had a call from a bloke claiming to be from BT Tower, saying there's an issue with my internet. I told him straight away it’s probably a scam since I hadn’t given any info, and he got a bit defensive about it. Then he asked how many lights were on the router - I said none, which seemed to throw him off. I asked for his work number and he eventually gave me 1588 3727 23. I told him that didn’t sound like a UK number. Then he said he’d disconnect my router, so I told him to go ahead, and he just slammed the phone down.

I told him I don’t even own a computer, but he kept going on like he knew better and said my info was being stolen. Then he offered to sort it out for me. He finished the call by saying he’d block my computer or something - bit ridiculous if you ask me!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent, really hard to catch what he was saying. Claimed he was from Virgin, my internet provider, and that my router was infected with something bad. Said it needed sorting in the next couple of hours or my whole network would get hit. He told me I had to be at my computer to fix it straight away. I said I’d ring Virgin directly within 30 minutes instead. He sounded annoyed, so I ended the call. Phoned Virgin myself and they said everything was fine, no issues at all.

I just flat out told him I wasn’t up for any chat and had zero interest in whatever he was selling. Anyway, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number using my BT call blocker now. Honestly, it’s baffling how these scams keep going on and why no one’s cracking down on them for good.

Watch out and never give these leeches any details, I got caught out by them a while back. They managed to get a loan of £11,000 on my name through my bank. If I’d had to settle it, it would've cost me near £18,000, and honestly, I’d have ended up bankrupt. Seriously, don’t share any info with these types, not even if they ask if you’ve got a computer. Actually, just ignore calls from numbers you don’t recognise. Stay careful everyone. Thankfully, my bank spotted the dodgy transaction straight away and blocked it before it went through.

Had a look at the number and I’m just going to ignore it if he tries again.

My partner got a call from this number and it was pretty clear it was some kind of scam. The bloke on the phone claimed his name was David Smith, but honestly, that didn’t add up at all since his accent was thick and definitely not what I’d expect from someone with that name. We decided to humour him a bit, just to find out what he was after. Soon enough, he got pretty rude and we just hung up. He said he was calling from Microsoft’s tech support team and gave a number: (0161) 932 6141. But when I checked, the call definitely wasn’t coming from there. He also said he was calling from an address in Manchester: 3000 Aviator Way M22 5TG. We asked how he knew we were Microsoft customers, and if that was true, then he’d be able to tell us our name and address. Unsurprisingly, he couldn’t. He just stuck to his script and got more and more annoyed every time we questioned him. Gotta admit though, he was pretty stubborn!

Today, my mum, who’s 74, got a call at home from a woman calling herself “Mary” claiming to be from “Windows Customer Services.” She said my mum’s computer was hacked and that she’d lose Windows if she didn’t act. The caller was quite pushy, but luckily my mum knew better and phoned me straight away. Before we hung up, she managed to get an address and phone number from “Mary,” which I used to look this place up - seems like 3000 Aviator Way, Manchester Business Centre with postcode 5TT isn't a real location anymore, might be a Regus office at 5TG nearby. I've had a word with my mum to calm her down and told her it’s a scam, so now she knows to just hang up if they call again.

This bloke with an Indian accent kept ringing me up, saying he was from Microsoft and there was something wrong with my PC. I told him a couple of times I don’t use Windows at all, but he just kept going on like it was no big deal. Proper persistent!

Today, this number popped up on my phone, but they just hung up as soon as I picked up. Seeing it listed here and recalling past calls where they tried to get me to mess around on my computer, I’m a bit annoyed - I actually enjoy giving these idiots a hard time. Fingers crossed they call again, these wankers. Honestly, scammers like these are just free targets to have a bit of fun and vent. So why not use their nonsense as a chance to blow off some steam? Maybe, just maybe, you can turn their rubbish scam attempts into something a bit more entertaining!

This number kept ringing me for ages. Finally picked up and the bloke said he was from Windows tech support. I threw a few questions back at him, then told him I don’t even own a computer. That seemed to shut him up pretty quick. These scams really need to be cracked down on. I actually got hit with one of these calls about four years ago too.

Today I got a call from this number and quickly ended it. Later on, I rang back and was greeted by an automated voice claiming to be Microsoft. I’ve since reported the incident to the police through an online fraud reporting site.

This number keeps ringing me with some Asian guy and lady saying there's an issue with my PC and its from Windows tech support. The thing is, I dont even use a computer, my partner does but he's often away for work. Still, they call even when he's not here, and no one has touched the computer at those times. They've been pretty harsh and pushy on the phone, which is quite scary. Just a heads up to watch out for these terrible people.

Got a call from an Asian woman claiming she was with TT Business, saying someone was messing with our internet. I told her it was a bit early to discuss this kind of stuff, but she kept pushing, demanding I give her a time to ring back. Proper rude attitude she had.

Got a call from this number today, with the same old story about fixing my internet. The person on the other end was clueless though, didn’t even seem to notice it was a company number, not a personal line. Pretty clear this is a scam - don’t share any info or let them near your PC. Best thing to do is hang up straight away, then make sure to block or add them to your blacklist so they don’t bother you again.

Got a call at around 10.45 this morning from a bloke with an Asian accent saying my Windows licence was about to be cancelled because my computer was supposedly hacked. When I told him I wasn’t about to turn my PC on for him, he suddenly got really nasty and insisted it was urgent. He gave me his name, Derek After, and his phone number, and I told him I'd call back later - as if that’s ever gonna happen! Now he’s expecting me to ring him before 7pm this evening. What a joke.

Today, I got a call from a lady with an Asian accent telling me my computer was supposedly sending hacked emails. She kept pushing me to check my computer right away. When I asked for a number to call her back on, she gave me 0161 932 6141 and said she was from Manchester. Of course, I looked up the number and ended up on this website.

I just got a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be from Windows Support. She told me my PC had been hacked and that she needed to switch it off immediately. There was loads of background noise which made me suspicious straight away. When I said this, she started getting quite pushy and said she’d show me the messages from the hackers, or else shut my computer down herself. I asked her for a contact number so I could ring back and confirm she was legit Microsoft support. She gave me 0161 6141 932, but when I called it, the number wasn’t recognised at all. I then checked it on this site and found a bunch of reports saying it was dodgy too. Definitely a scam from what I can tell.

Got a ring from someone claiming to be Windows Support, they said they were calling from 3000 Avia Way, Manchester M22 5TG but the actual call came from 07769268541. Went along with their spiel about my pc being infected, kept chatting to them, asking questions. They even gave me some licence code but couldn’t name my operating system. Eventually they got a bit fed up after I kept questioning and said they had to end the call since their shift was finishing, promised to call back tomorrow. Well, I'm adding these two numbers to my block list right away!

I got a call from this number earlier today, and the person on the line, an Asian woman, claimed to be from Microsoft support. I wasn’t convinced and told her outright that she was making it up. She went on to say my Microsoft licence would expire in three days and then insisted my computer was under attack from hackers. I told her maybe I should police and asked for her phone number and address. She gave me 01619326141 and an address at 3000 Aviator Way Business Park in Manchester, UK. After hanging up, I dialled the number back and got a voicemail in very proper Queen’s English which sounded really genuine. But after that, I searched the number online and was relieved to find out it’s linked to scams, so I ended the call.

I just got a phone from someone named David Wlliams claiming to be from Windows Support. Apparently, my computer licence had been compromised and was linked to some dodgy scam activities. He wanted me to open up my computer, but I told him no way and that I'd pass it on to my IT team. He gave me a number with extension 34 to call back and said he'd ring me again tomorrow. Mentioned their office was at Manchester Business Park, postcode MG22 5TG. Strange call.

Some dodgy caller from Asia phoned me earlier saying my Microsoft licence was about to be cancelled. I played along and asked for their number so I could check with my mate who’s savvy with computers and get back to them tomorrow. Then I just ended the call. They called straight back and started being aggressive. I told them it wasn’t tomorrow yet and hung up again. After that, the bloke called once more and was proper angry. I told him I had their number and would be reporting them to trading standards, then he told me to get lost and hung up. Best to do two things with these scammers: note their number down and share warnings here. I tried ringing this same number multiple times today, even asked for their address but never got through. Microsoft my foot!

Got a call from some bloke with an Asian accent today, claiming my Microsoft licence was gonna be cancelled. I said, "Is that so? Well, what's your number? I'll check with my mate who's good with computers and call you back tomorrow." Then I hung up. He called straight back and started being rude, so I just told him it wasn't tomorrow yet and ended the call again. He rang once more, proper angry this time. I told him I had his number and would be reporting him to trading standards. He swore at me and hung up. Honestly, do two things: note their number and post warnings like this on sites to warn others.

So, I got a call from this guy calling himself "Mike Reed" and another chap "Alex Williams," both sounding like they were from abroad. They claimed my computer was compromised by hackers and warned me my Windows licence was about to be revoked. They said they worked for Windows support and could sort it out for me. I told them my internet wasn’t working at the moment. When I tried calling them back, no one picked up.

Got a call earlier from someone named Jerry Williams, said he was with Windows Support in Manchester. He started going on about some licence transfer or cancellation for my PC. Claimed my machine was hacked - blamed the Russians, no less - and was involved in dodgy stuff. Ended the call, but he rang me back twice after I hung up. Now he’s meant to ring again at a set time tomorrow. Proper nuisance!

Some bloke called 'Alan' claiming he was from the Windows team, warning me my PC was going to be locked. I told him I’d had similar calls before and wasn’t falling for it, then just ended the call. Moments later, he phoned again, so I asked him for a contact number to check who he really was (he gave me 01619326141). I said I’d look into it and hung up once more. He called back saying it was a security problem and that they’d already sent me about 100 messages, which I never got. Then he tried to send another code, which I didn’t receive either. By that time, I’d stumbled across this website and hung up again. No calls from ‘Alan’ since. Is there any way to shut down this number or find out where it’s actually based to stop it for good?

Got a call from an Asian call centre, loads of background noise, warning me my PC was being hacked. They wanted me to run some kind of code to fix it and gave me this number when I asked to double-check their story. Also gave a fake Microsoft address. They sounded convincing at first but seemed really dodgy. Pretty sure they were after remote access to plant malware and nick personal info. I can’t see Microsoft making these sorts of calls unless you’ve got a special agreement with them. Definitely stay clear of this sort of scam.

So this bloke from what he said was Microsoft called me up. My computer was running slow, right? Before I could even say much, he started messing about on my PC, adding loads of icons and accounts without me knowing. I was just doing some online banking then, so I had to ring my bank straight away. They tried to get me to sign up for this 'Join, Zoho' thing too. I quickly deleted it all and shut my computer down. Proper nasty people, they were trying to nick money from my bank!

The idiot couldn’t even keep his fake names straight. I’ve blocked the number now.

There’s this guy Allan, who sounds Asian, ringing up and trying to freak folks out by telling them their computers have already been hacked. He offers to help and throws around a so-called License number for your machine. He also claims he’s sent warning emails, but apparently hackers have deleted them all.

Pretty much like what others have said. The guy introduced himself as Paul Thompson and told me some hacker was messing with my computer. He said he worked for Microsoft. He even threatened to shut my account off if I didn’t follow his instructions to turn on my PC and let him in. I wasn’t having any of it and told him to ring back when my son was home. I doubt he’ll bother calling again.

This morning I got a call from a guy named Paul, who claimed to be from Microsoft. He said my computer was hacked and somehow had my licence number, which seemed odd since the only PC I use at home is managed by an outside IT firm - it’s for work stuff. Paul warned me I could end up in jail, fined £5,000, and accused of assisting criminals, saying Microsoft would take legal action against me. The whole thing felt really intimidating and like a scam to me.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from some computer licensing firm, telling me my PC was compromised. When I asked for their company details, like the licence code, name, address, and a contact number, he said it was the CIA (yeah, right). He gave me an address in Manchester Business Estate, 3000 Aviator Way M22 5TG, along with the phone number mentioned earlier. Turns out that address belongs to A&J Interiors in Manchester. I’m sure they’d be well shocked to hear they’re running a tech support company!

I received a call earlier today from a chap who informed me that one of our computers was sending out spam emails under my name. This Mike Reed fella provided me with a rather lengthy 32-digit number, asserting it was a Microsoft licence key for all the machines on our network. However, being aware that each computer typically has its own unique licence, I told him I needed to verify this before proceeding and would ring him back. I'm currently in the process of checking this number. I have no intention of allowing him to dictate any actions on my computer or share any further details, as it clearly seems like an attempt to extract more sensitive information from me.

I got a call earlier today from someone saying one of our machines was sending out spam using my name. The guy, Mike Reed, gave me a 32-digit code he said was a Microsoft licence key for all the computers on our network. Since I’m aware that each device has its own unique licence number, I told him I’d verify it myself and get back to him. He provided the number, which I’m currently looking into.
There’s no way I’ll let him access my computer or share any more details - it just seems like a ploy to extract info.
