10 yearsI receive a call from this number on a daily basis, without exception, inquiring about a Mrs Francis. I keep informing the caller that she doesn’t reside here, yet they always cut me off before I can finish. If this persists, I might have to consider reporting it to the authorities for harassment, as it’s becoming quite tiresome at this point.Francis10 yearsThis number has rung me about 3 times today! When I answer there’s no one there, and after a little while it just hangs up. Feels like some automated system making random calls. Absolutely irritating, whoever’s behind it!10 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be David, saying he’s from Microsoft and that my PC was throwing up error messages!DavidMicrosoft10 yearsThis bloke rang me claiming to be David from Microsoft, just like he did a bunch of times last year. If you don’t follow what he wants, he turns really nasty and starts shouting.DavidMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were John at Microsoft, warning me about a hacking threat :) Totally a scam!Microsoft10 yearsI received a phone call from someone with a distinctly Indian accent. They claimed my computer was allegedly riddled with infections and insisted they needed to either clean it up or completely erase everything. When I informed them I didn’t own a computer, they promptly ended the call. Quite bizarre, I must say!10 yearsI have a strong suspicion that this number is part of a phishing scam. Even though the area code belongs to Oban, the caller ID showed "International". Quite dodgy, if you ask me!ObanInternational10 yearsSome bloke claiming to be from Microsoft called me saying my PC was hacked and asked me to turn it on for a test. I didn't do it. When I asked him to have his company call me back, he just kept repeating the same thing. So, I ended the call.Microsoft10 yearsThis morning at about 8:45, I got a ring from 01631568494. It definitely seemed like one of those call centre calls but nobody said anything, so I just put the phone down. Last week I had a few calls, three actually, from men who said there was a problem with my computer signal. I've since signed up to the TPS to try and block these annoying calls. My advice is don’t share any details with these people - just hang up straight away.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsGot a ring from 01631 568494 just a minute ago. A woman with a foreign accent claimed she was calling on behalf of British Gas, my energy provider. Definitely felt like a scam to me!British Gas10 yearsGot a call supposedly from British Gas saying there’d been some technical problem and they wanted my electricity meter details. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!British Gas10 yearsThey kept ringing me, twice back to back. Really pushed the story that they were from Microsoft. Said they had my laptop ID and claimed someone was hacking into it. I didn’t even turn my laptop on. I asked them where they got my number from, since I never gave it out.Microsoft10 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier. I said hello a few times but the person on the other end stayed silent the whole time. I reckon it might have been someone stuck in a call centre given the noises in the background. Then they just ended the call. Strange behaviour.10 yearsGot a call warning me that my computer was at risk and about to get hacked! Definitely one of those Microsoft Support scams!Microsoft10 yearsCheers for the info. I didn’t pick up because the screen said ‘international’ above the caller ID, which seemed odd. This number has rung me a few times over the last few days. I’ve had calls like this before and got in touch with Microsoft, who told me they’d never ring like that.Microsoft10 yearsI calmly explained I had an iPad, but Paul from Microsoft started shouting at me and swearing.PaulMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Paul at Microsoft Security. When I mentioned I was working at Microsoft too, he just ended the call. Hilarious!Microsoft10 yearsGot a call today from this number, some guy with a foreign accent saying he was with Microsoft. He told me I had a nasty virus and needed to give him access so he could fix it. I just ended the call straight away.Microsoft10 yearsThis number rang me once more, claiming to be from 'Ficrosoft' warning about a load of viruses. I just said I’d had my flu shot and then ended the call.Ficrosoft10 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. The bloke said he was 'from Microsoft Windows' saying my PC was compromised. When I asked his name and location, he said Paul Wilson from Washington. He also gave me a dodgy phone number to ring him back on. Pretty sure it was a scam.MicrosoftPaul WilsonWashington10 yearsGot a call this morning from a bloke with an accent, said his name was Paul Wilson and he was ringing about my computer. First thing that popped into my head was "No way, mate," and I hung up sharpish. Thought maybe Sky should be informed, but honestly, we’re pretty clued up in my family about these scams. Heads up, they use loads of different numbers. I've marked this one as a scam on my landline now, so if it rings again we just ignore it.Paul WilsonSky10 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Peter Marshall at Microsoft. As soon as I told him he wasn’t who he said, he just shouted “You’re a d#ck head, you’re a d#ck head” and then cut me off. Proper rude!Peter MarshallMicrosoft10 yearsBeware of Talk Talk, total scam - stay well clear!10 yearsIs this some kind of joke? Got a call saying they were from TalkTalk again! So annoyed, they keep pretending to be them. Can't they just stop?TalkTalk10 yearsi spoke with talktalk about the number, they said they’ll check it out and if they discover its a scam they’ll make sure to block it on their network.TalkTalk10 yearsLooks like there's quite the scammer on the loose today, hasn't taken a break at all (16/11/16!)10 yearsThis number rang when we weren't home, and they didn’t leave a voicemail or anything. I’ve gotten in touch with TalkTalk to let them know about it. Luckily, with TalkTalk you can block numbers without paying anything, which is pretty handy.TalkTalkSubmit Your Own Report (01631 568494)
