8 yearsGot a call on 6th June but they didn’t bother leaving any voicemail.8 yearsLooks like a bunch of scammers from Asia calling me. Total nightmare!8 yearsGot a call from 01683562120, these lot claimed to be from Microsoft, saying there was some issue with my PC and it’d be shutting down in half an hour. Totally sketchy if you ask me.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from some bloke pretending to be from Microsoft. He wanted me to give him my licence code and started counting up to twenty like it mattered. Told him straight up he was talking rubbish and that I actually sell Microsoft licences myself. Oddly enough, he just ended the call out of nowhere.ScammersMicrosoft8 yearsHey, I got a call from a bloke claiming he was calling from Ghana but the number had a 01683 562120 code, which is actually a Scottish number. He tried to convince me to let him get into my computer, which was obviously dodgy. When I told him I didn’t own a computer, he sounded proper annoyed and told me I was wasting his time after he rang me! This has nothing to do with BT at all - it's just some scammer trying to hack into your stuff, so watch out for these sorts of calls.GhanaScotlandBT8 yearsI’ve been hitting refresh on your homepage pretty much every minute and then my phone buzzes with some lady, sounded foreign, saying she’s from Microsoft and all that usual nonsense about my PC or internet being messed up. I let her jabber on a bit before telling her no thanks, in not so polite words, that I wasn’t interested. I threw in some cheeky insults too, and bizarrely, she just dropped the call. Can’t wait for the next one, honestly brightens up my day!Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from this number just now, but it was so quiet I couldn't understand a word they were saying. I had a look online and apparently it's linked to scammers. The call quality was shockingly bad, but at least now I know to block them.8 yearsSome guy with a thick Asian accent, not very good at English, said he was from Microsoft. When I said I wasn’t interested and told him Microsoft would never ring like that, he got quite annoyed. Honestly, he was way too hostile to be any good at scamming people!Microsoft8 yearsSomebody called me saying they were from Microsoft, telling me my computer was hacked. I told them I don’t even own a computer and just hung up. It’s really worrying how easily people who aren’t tech-savvy might get tricked by these sorts of scams.Microsoft8 yearsSomeone called me pretending to be from Microsoft, saying my PC had been hacked, but it all felt really dodgy.Microsoft8 yearsThat damn Putin’s just acting up again, it’s like the UK’s in a right mess. If things keep going like this, it’s only a matter of time before we drag the Yanks in and things spiral into a full-on war. Absolute madness.PutinUKYanks8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, but the accent gave it away as foreign. I mentioned I use an Apple laptop and he quickly said he'd connect me to Apple - yeah, sure! Told him straight up I’m not interested in scams and hung up before he could say anything back. Have since added the number to my block list.MicrosoftApple8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Microsoft, trying to tell me hackers got into my PC. Obviously felt like a total scam!Microsoft8 yearsGot a call a moment ago from 01683-562120, sounded like someone from abroad. The line was terrible and when I told him I couldn’t hear properly, he got quite rude. He started asking about my MS Office, and when I asked which device he meant, he got even more pushy. I told him to just send me an email and then hung up. Watch out for this one!Microsoft Office8 yearsI installed a call blocker recently, so now those spammers are the ones losing time. I've just blocked their number for good.8 yearsGot a call from a guy claiming he was from Microsoft, sounded like he was Asian. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call today, and when I told him I wasn’t falling for his scam, he started threatening me with the FBI. After that, he ended up swearing at me, so I just hung up straight away.FBI8 yearsGot a call from a bloke named Ryan, sounded Asian, saying he had my computer’s license number and that it was being hacked. I told him I don’t even own a computer and that he was clearly trying to scam me. Didn’t bother listening to him any longer and ended the call quick. Such annoying muppets!Ryan8 yearsMy 85 year old mum got a call from someone with an Asian accent. The connection was really poor, so she mentioned it and hung up. Then the same bloke phoned again, claimed the line was perfect, and asked if she wanted a chat. When she said no, he just told her to F### off! Totally rude.8 yearsOh, I had one of those dodgy calls as well. The bloke suddenly got all shouty when I told him I wasn’t following what he was saying (honestly, I really wasn’t, but it was obvious he was trying to con me). Said he was from Microsoft or something like that. Then, out of nowhere, he ended the call with a big sigh and a tsk. Wish I'd had something to make a noise with to give him back.Microsoft8 yearsWe've had several calls come through, but thankfully our phone system stopped them all. From what others have shared, it's clear this is a scam, so just a heads up to everyone - stay clear of it. Honestly, something should be done about this, maybe even legal action under GDPR rules at the very least.8 yearsThey said they were from Microsoft, but when I didn’t go along with their instructions to switch on my PC they got pretty worked up. I just kept stringing them along for a bit, hoping to stop more folks falling for their tricks today. And get this - they rang again later on!!Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from someone named Julie (like I believe that) claiming to be from Microsoft’s Tech Support. They started all that rubbish about my computer having loads of problems. Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with my PC, just some dodgy scammer on the line. Told "Julie2 to try somewhere else. It’s always the elderly and vulnerable folks who fall for this nonsense. Who actually covers their phone bill here in the UK? Can’t the phone companies just block these numbers? Really hoping Ofcom wakes up and does something about this soon.JulieMicrosoftTechnical DepartmentUK8 yearsGot a call supposedly from BT Openreach saying other people are using my wifi. Do not share any details with them!BT Openreach8 yearsI got a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be Chris from BT about some fault they said was reported. Total scam, obviously. We haven’t had any issues or contacted BT, plus we stopped using their service over 20 years ago. That’s the dead giveaway right there.ChrisBT8 yearsWhen I asked what the call was about, they started shouting and swearing at me before just hanging up. It was pretty unpleasant.8 yearsGot a call from a man with an Asian accent claiming he was from Microsoft, telling me my PC was infected and hacked. I questioned how he even knew that, but he kept quiet and pushed me to let him access my computer remotely. Absolutely no chance - I build and fix computers myself! Ended the call right away. I’m aware of a couple of elderly folks who got scammed like this; their machines were locked and the scammers demanded a huge ransom to unlock them. Luckily, I was able to help them get back in without paying a penny!Microsoft8 yearsGot several calls but ignored them all, after reading others’ posts and having dealt with these scammers before. Definitely not picking up!8 yearsGot a few calls from different folks with English sounding names but all with an Indian accent, saying they've got to "check my computer". The most recent time was this morning, but I missed it cause I just had a shower and couldn't get to the phone quick enough. The call came from this very number, by the way.8 yearsI’ve been trying to ring my wife, who’s in her late 90s, all day today. I’m wondering, would it be against the law if I answered the phone and played a really loud 120dB whistle back to whoever’s calling?8 yearsGot a call from a guy named “John,” said he’s with Microsoft. He kept insisting there was some criminal stuff going on with my computer and even threatened to get the police involved if I didn’t answer his questions. Proper fishy!JohnMicrosoft8 yearsGot three calls back-to-back from someone saying my computer, supposedly not online, had sent a message to Microsoft about fraud. He insisted I follow his instructions to fix it. When I wasn’t having any of it and ended the call, he got pretty annoyed and even called me back to try and talk to another person who might believe his nonsense.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from 01683 562120 with an English name but the lady had a strong Indian accent. She said she was from Microsoft and claimed my computer was being used for illegal stuff. She said she'd give me a code to prove she was legit. When I said I was hanging up, she sounded annoyed and wanted to connect me to her manager. I've received about a dozen of these calls now, all different numbers, all saying I’ve got a virus or that I’ve been hacked. I use BullGuard antivirus and they've scanned my network - no issues at all.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from some guy named Jacob claiming to be from Microsoft. I told him to just send me an email, but he kept saying he could only assist me by phone. I ended up hanging up.JacobMicrosoft8 yearsGot a call earlier from someone called John claiming to be from Microsoft. He wanted to speak to me by name about my PC. When I started asking questions, he got quite annoyed and hung up on me.JohnMicrosoft8 yearsGot a call from a bloke, sounded Indian or Asian, saying he was with Microsoft. He told me my computer was supposedly downloading some nasty software that let hackers get in. He asked if I used Safari, I said no, and then he just cut the call. Thing is, I don’t even use Safari.
