8 yearsThey keep ringing me from different numbers that are just a bit different each time, claiming to be from Microsoft. When I told them I don’t even own a computer, they just ended the call. Quite annoying!Microsoft8 yearsSomebody called me saying they were from Microsoft, but I just ended the call straight away.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from a lady claiming to be from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with my PC. Total scam! These scammers always try to trick people who might not know better. I told her not to bother ringing me again, but knowing how these lot work, I bet they’ll be back.Microsoft8 yearsI asked if I was the only one using the computer. When I said no, he just ended the call. Blocked him straight away.8 yearsI rang earlier but ended up hanging up as it went straight to voicemail.8 yearsBit weird, rang us two times and just left a voicemail each time, only saying “hello, hello”. Quite puzzled by it.8 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust it!Fraudster8 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from Microsoft. She told me hackers were trying to break into my computer and steal cash for drugs or something daft like that. I told her I wasn’t buying it, then this Asian bloke joined the call and started shouting at me to follow their instructions. I kept telling him I wasn’t taking orders from strangers on the phone. When I said I’d ring Microsoft myself, he threatened my computer wouldn’t work anymore. I asked for his name - he said John with some ID like MA2757 or something. Yeah, right!MicrosoftJohn8 yearsSome bloke from India with a really thick accent saying his name was Sam Austin called me and started asking about my computer. I just ended the call straight away.Sam Austin8 yearsEvery time I pick up, it's just silence, but what's really frustrating is this number keeps calling non-stop - already five times in the past few days. It's a real pity that honest businesses have to navigate all these new data rules while scam calls like this keep popping up. Really annoying.8 yearsI told them I don’t own a computer and they started swearing at me, really rude and offensive language.8 yearsI looked up the 01680 code and it turns out to be from the Isle of Mull, so it’s not like Microsoft would be ringing me, especially since they rarely use phone calls. The tricky bit with VOIP is you can get a UK number no matter where the scammer really is, so you can’t really tell their actual location. Like Billy Connolly jokes, folks from all over seem to get the message when you tell them to F##K OFF - just like my caller did.Isle of MullMicrosoftUKBilly Connolly8 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my PC was infected by hackers. She started walking me through steps to fix it, but I kept grilling her with loads of questions, like where she was calling from. She said Reading, but seemed to get more mixed up the more I pressed her. Then she passed me onto a man, also with an Asian accent, and once he twigged I wasn’t buying it, he called me daft and told me to stop wasting his time and hang up. I wasn’t about to hang up, but he ended the call instead! Proper weird.MicrosoftReading8 yearsJust like others have said, I got a call from an Asian lady first, then a bloke. I played along a bit out of curiosity but I had a bad feeling it was a scam all along. When the guy asked me to enter an address in the Windows dialog box, I refused thinking they might be trying to hack me. His response? “Go [email protected] yourself, you idiot,” and then he hung right up. Honestly, don’t waste your time with these jokers, it’s not worth it at all.8 yearsOver the past few days, I got quite a few calls from this number. I answered three times but each time the caller just hung up straight away. Two calls I did pick up properly. One time, as soon as a woman with an Asian accent mentioned Microsoft, I just ended the call. The other time, I told a guy with a similar accent that I wasn’t interested, and he started getting rude so I quickly hung up.Microsoft8 yearsToday, 29/5, I got a call from an Asian lady claiming to be from Microsoft. She said my computer was at risk from hackers and mentioned something about d###s, telling me to log in so she could help. I was a bit suspicious and ended the call. She rang straight back, insisting I follow her instructions for my own safety. I hung up again and kept the phone off the hook for a while. After about 10 minutes, when I turned it back on, she called once more. This time my husband answered and told her to buzz off in no uncertain terms. Haven't heard from her since.Microsoft8 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent telling me my computer was compromised. When I told her I wasn’t expecting any calls from Microsoft, she just ended the call right away.Microsoft8 yearsHad no clue who it was so I just ended the call right away.8 yearsSomebody rang me pretending to be from Microsoft, said my PC got hacked.Microsoft8 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the person on the other end just ended the call straight away.8 yearsSame old Microsoft scam, but this time it was a lady on the line. At least they bothered to call, so that's something I guess.Microsoft8 yearsToday (28/05/18), got a call from a guy with an Asian-sounding accent pretending to be from Microsoft, saying my PC was throwing up errors. I told him I thought he was just trying to scam me. Then, out of nowhere, he threatened to come round and shoot me - he even knew where I live! Now I'm just waiting to see if he actually shows up.Microsoft8 yearsI answered the call and they just hung up on me. When I tried ringing the number back, it came up as not a valid number. Someone really needs to look into this and find out who’s behind it.Submit Your Own Report (01680 605420)
