5 yearsTotal con artists. This "Zoe Olsen" rang up trying to chat about my "investment account" or whatever. I’ve never had one of those, so I could tell right away it was dodgy.

Lucky I looked up who it was before answering. Seems like a scammer wanting to catch you off guard early on when your mind might not be fully sharp. Didn't pick up quick enough, thankfully, or I'd have given them a piece of my mind. These scammers are disgusting! I've seen older relatives get tricked by these fraudsters, and it really messes with their peace of mind.8 yearsI don’t get how these scammers get to use UK numbers at all. I had a call from a Scottish number earlier today. Wouldn’t it make sense to block anyone calling from outside the country on these numbers? I’m on the telephone preference service and it doesn’t seem to do a thing to keep them off my phone. It’s so frustrating!UKScotland8 yearsI got a call from a woman saying she was with Microsoft Security, telling me my computer had some sort of virus. I told her I don’t own a computer at all, and she just hung up straight away. When I tried calling her back, the number was dead.Microsoft Security8 yearsSeems like I've encountered another dodgy Microsoft con.
