Pretty much the same thing happened to me as well. A few days before I noticed a suspicious website appeared but my antivirus stopped it, so I didn’t think much of it. I reckon that’s how they got hold of my Windows licence key because not long after, they rang me up and recited the entire licence number. The call came from 02083986144 and a guy named Rhana was on the line. Even when I called their bluff, they kept ringing but hung up as soon as I picked up!

Got a call from a woman named Eva, sounded Asian, claiming she was with Microsoft and said there was an issue with my PC. I told her she was talking rubbish, then just hung up and blocked the number straight away. Honestly, I hope these scammers have some bad luck on their journey home, so they stop bothering folks with their dodgy calls.

Got a call from some so-called Windows support, total scam as per usual. I just laughed it off, called them out on their nonsense, and swore at them - that usually puts them off ringing me back. Honestly, I don’t get why politicians ignore this problem. It’s probably because sorting it out would need cross-country teamwork but with all the spying tech they’ve got, it’s crazy to think these frauds can’t be caught.

I've been receiving calls from scammers pretending to be from Windows Technical Support, insisting that my computer has been compromised. They threaten that it will be switched off in thirty minutes unless I install some sort of remote monitoring software. The woman on the other end was extremely aggressive and quite rude when I questioned her claims. To make matters worse, she keeps ringing back relentlessly!

A rude woman from Asia kept ringing my folks. When my mum told her she knew it was a scam, the woman warned her about her computer being hacked. Mum just ended the call, but the woman phoned back non-stop, probably around 50 times in no time. My parents were pretty worried. Eventually, I picked up and told her I’m a police officer and wanted her details to report her. She didn’t care and said she’d keep calling anyway. Thankfully, we're having some phone line repairs so the line was disconnected shortly after. Honestly, she was really offensive and spoke to us in a nasty way.

Beware, this is a proper scam. I got a call claiming to be from the Windows Service Centre. I ended up speaking with three Asian guys who kept saying my computer was being hacked. I didn't let them in, but they threatened to shut down my system. What really freaked me out was that they already had my full name, address, and my phone number too.

How on earth are these kinds of calls still getting through? Got a really rude woman on the phone, sounded Asian, saying she was from the Windows Service Centre. She told me my PC was going to be shut down because someone hacked my registered licence number or something like that. Honestly, do they think we're that daft to fall for it and hand over details? I let her know straight up she was nothing but a lying scammer! The number was 01633780580.

Got a call from an Asian lady who was trying to talk to whoever owns the computer here. She totally butchered my name, couldn’t say it right at all. I just ended up chuckling. Honestly, these kinds of calls really wind me up!

I’ve had this number ring me up three times today and I didn’t even bother answering, just ended the call straight away. Called 1471 after the first call to see who it was. Big thanks to everyone flagging this number, curious why they haven’t shut it down yet!

Got a call this arvo from a woman with an Asian accent, saying there was an issue with the Windows software on my computer. My husband quickly hung up. Still, she kept calling back, ringing about 5 times altogether. By the fourth and fifth calls, I lost it and told her off proper. I’m definitely going to report it to the Telephone Preference Service. These scam calls are getting way out of hand and honestly so frustrating!

Today, my dad got loads of calls from this number. Eventually, I answered one and told them to stop ringing us. The woman on the other end threatened to ‘shut down your computers so you won’t be able to use them anymore.’ It’s clearly a scam, so just block and report them right away.

Just like everyone else has said, they’re really pushy and quite rude too.

Had a persistent bloke calling from Asia, rang me thrice this morning saying my computer was full of viruses or some nonsense. I told him we’d chatted at least three times before and that he was dialing a shop number, not a home, plus we don’t even have a PC here. I flat out called it a scam and asked him not to bother again. He got all worked up, yelling that he wasn’t a scammer and got angry because I cut him off without letting him reply. So, I just hung up on him once more.

This woman, who said her name was Marry (and even spelled it out loud), rang me claiming there was something wrong with my computer and that it was about to be switched off. We had a 10 minute chat where she ended up calling me crazy, gave me a supposed Windows registration code, but when I asked for the ISBN number, which btw is for books not PCs, she got totally confused and said she didn’t have that detail available. Quite the strange call!

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying there was an issue with my husband's computer. She wanted me to let him know, but it felt off. Definitely think this is a scam and should be reported as fraud. I’m going to report it straight away.

Today, this number 01633780580 rang my wife twice. A woman with an Indian accent was on the line, claiming it was about our computer’s licence number. We quickly ended the call, but I decided to do some digging. Turns out, their goal is to trick you into visiting a fake site asking for card info to solve a made-up issue. Only a right mug would fall for it, but they’re banking on someone not being clued up to get caught out. Proper scumbags.

Just like everyone else has said, they were really pushy and got a bit rude when I told them I wasn’t interested. They kept ringing again and again. It was pretty unnerving, especially since I was home alone at the time.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who said my Windows account was at risk of being hacked. He asked for my Windows licence number but I refused to give it. About two minutes later, a woman called from the same number and I told her not to bother ringing me again. Then, just a minute after that, the same number rang but I didn’t answer, and they didn’t leave any message either.

Got a call from an Asian man, with loads of background noise like a busy call centre, saying my computer had been hacked. I played along and told him I actually built my own operating system. After a bit of fuss, he handed me over to some “supervisor,” who finally owned up and said it was all a scam.

This Asian lady kept ringing up from some "Windows 10" place, she called us like 4 times in just ten minutes! She kept saying our computers were in danger or whatever. Me and my husband got really annoyed with her. I reckon she finally got the hint when my husband started being quite blunt and a bit rude to her.

This morning I got called more than ten times! Even after I told the woman twice that I don’t have a Windows PC (which is true), the phone just kept going. They even rang again after I left the house. When my husband got back, he picked up and told them he’d get the police involved if they didn’t stop. That seemed to do the trick at last.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent, said her name was Mary and claimed there was an issue with my Windows licence. Thing is, I don't even own a computer! I called her out as a scammer and said I'd contact the police. She started shouting at me, insisting I should pay attention, so I just ended the call. Total rip off!

Some lady with an Asian accent phoned me, saying there was something wrong with my computer. She claimed hackers were using it for dodgy stuff and that it would soon break down. After I ended the call, she kept ringing back like four times. I told her to leave me alone, but she just kept going on about my computer crashing. I told her to quit with the threats and buzz off.

Got a call from an Asian woman saying she was from some company named Business Hub. Of course, I gave her the usual hassle. Then she ring back, saying I was being rude to her!! Honestly, this number has called us loads of times before pretending to be a proper business, total waste of time.

I had this bloke ring me up, said he was Joe Williams and that there was something wrong with my firewall. I told him I don’t even own a computer and put the phone down. Even after that, he called back a couple more times insisting he’d block our computer or something. Eventually my husband lost it and told him to get lost.

This number, 01633 780580, called me like 4 times. The lady on the line had an Asian accent and was really persistent even after I said I didn’t own a computer. (I’m actually writing this on my hubby’s laptop right now.) She seriously wouldn’t accept a simple no!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Windows saying my PC had an issue. The bloke spoke with an Indian accent and called himself Joe Williams. Pretty sure it was a scam since the number links to someone living on Risca Road in Newport, and definitely not Joe Williams.

Got a call from someone pretending to be Windows, telling me there was an issue with my PC and that they were checking my IP address. Sounded fishy to me, probably a scam.
