Got a call from a bloke with a thick Indian accent claiming to be from some PC support team. Said there was an issue with my computer. I told him straight up they’re all scammers and to shove it. A mate of mine got caught out by one of these scams - they told her her computer was broken and pushed some dodgy fix. When she said she’d check with someone else, they went and messed with her PC registry and cut off her internet. Proper lowlifes!

I received a voicemail from him this morning where he expressed his frustration with a "I've given up" tone. Later on, when I spoke to him, I mentioned I wasn't keen on whatever he was offering. He then resorted to some rather unpleasant threats about blocking my computer! Quite distressing, to say the least! :(

I just received a rather peculiar call from a gentleman who found it hard to fathom that I didn't own a computer. He seemed to think it was all rather strange!

Picked up once last week, some bloke asking about my computer, said he was from Microsoft and gave an address in Kent where they definitely don't have a branch! Seemed dodgy so I just hung up. Now they keep ringing me like six times a day from this number and I just block it.

Today, I received a rather suspicious call from the number 01642878714. The chap on the line claimed to represent Microsoft, though his thick accent made it a tad difficult to catch his name; he seemed to have an Asian background. He asserted that he’d been keeping tabs on my computer and, when I probed further about how he managed this, he mentioned it was via my IP address. He then urged me to hop on my computer so we could chat more about it. I told him I was too busy and hung up. Honestly, I can’t stand these types of calls; I seem to be inundated with them recently, and it feels like a bit of a con to me. I wish these guys would find something worthwhile to do and let people get on with their lives. - Caller: Claimed to be from Microsoft

I quickly figured out that this was a dodgy call right from the off, so I thought I’d have a bit of fun with it. The chap on the other end claimed to be from Microsoft - how original! Then, about ten minutes in, I casually dropped that I actually use an Apple product. His response? He suddenly claimed to represent Apple as well! When I pressed him on who he worked for, he mentioned a Mr Abdul, who was supposedly the big boss over at Apple. That quickly morphed into Alvin Edwards, and in the end, he had the audacity to call me a clueless woman who didn’t know her computer from her elbow and insisted he could block my device. What a laugh!

Greetings! Earlier today, around half past nine, I received a rather dodgy call from the number mentioned. Upon checking your website, I discovered it to be a scam. An individual with an Indian accent informed me that my computer (I'm currently on my Kindle) had been compromised, and I would need to fork out money to Microsoft for a fix. He even mentioned the BBC was involved in this, which piqued my interest. So, I hopped over to the BBC's official site only to uncover it was all a sham. I pressed him for answers, questioning why I hadn't encountered any issues before, and he kept blaming it on pop-ups. I challenged his story repeatedly, but he seemed to have a scripted response for everything. In the end, I called him out on his antics, saying I believed he was just pulling my leg, and promptly ended the call. Oh, and I must mention, he kept regurgitating the same lines time and time again! The caller ID was: 01642 878742.

Phone number: 01642878714 - A man with an Asian accent started speaking really fast, saying my computer was hacked! I told him I don’t have a computer and he insisted, “You got a laptop.” I told him no, I sold mine a few weeks ago. He said I couldn’t have sold it ‘cos he can see I’m still using one. I said I wasn’t! Told him I’m fed up with calls like this and I’m not buying anything. He claimed he wasn’t selling anything, just wanted to warn me about scams and hacking. I ended the call!

My old mate had FIVE different people nick cash from his bank account. This was even on the telly, but not a single one got caught or charged, even though they’re based here in the UK. The police couldn’t care less, MPs didn’t bother, and even the Assembly Members just ignored it. Proper frustrating.

I've received calls from this number four times today alone, between 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Most of the time, there's just silence before they hang up, or they wait a few moments and then simply say 'bye'. This isn't the first time, either-I've had quite a few of these in the past ten days! A couple of instances, the callers claimed to be from Microsoft, and they've even rung me late in the evening. I'm absolutely exasperated with this whole situation!

Like others, I felt a bit iffy but stupidly played along. I expected them to ask for cash eventually, but then they threatened to report me (to someone I’ve never heard of or cared about) for using a computer with an expired licence. I said no way, I wouldn’t pay a penny, and if there was any issue I’d just nip to the library and use their computers instead. After that, they got really aggressive. I rang Microsoft myself and was told they absolutely don’t make phone calls like that.

I received a rather early call at half eight this morning from a chap named Harry, claiming to be from Microsoft. He insisted that my computer had been compromised and that he could assist me immediately over the phone. I informed him that I had a reliable techie who usually handles such matters for me. He then became quite agitated, asserting that my helper wouldn't suffice as they were from the high street.

He was going on about some error messages and infections on my PC, saying he had details through my Microsoft Security ID. I asked him straight up if he was getting info from my computer, then he should be able to give me my IP address no problem. After that, he just said he didn’t want to chat anymore and ended the call. Did I mess up somewhere? I never got the chance to mention I don’t even use any Microsoft software or operating systems. Bet Patrick would’ve been surprised to hear that. Poor guy.

Just another classic example of those pesky scam phone calls that seem to plague everyone these days. I received a couple of them yesterday (the 10th of June) and, after doing a bit of digging, I decided to entertain one of the calls today for around 15 minutes. Eventually, I had to break it to the chap on the other end (who sounded Asian) that he was trying to pull a fast one on me before I promptly ended the conversation. I’ve got a hunch these calls are originating from outside the UK. It’s all too easy for them to fake a caller ID, as I found out the number 01642-878714 is a dead end. Sadly, it seems that both the TPS and ICO are powerless to tackle these invaders when they’re calling in from abroad.
