Got a call from someone with an Asian accent, totally sounded like a call centre. Said they were from Microsoft. Told them to shove it, buzz off and never ring me again.

Someone rang me up wanting to know about my website, but I didn’t catch who it was straight away. I asked if it was a sales pitch and he said no. Then I asked what exactly he wanted because I’m too busy to waste my time. Next thing, he just hung up on me.

Got a call that got blocked by my phone’s spam filter, no voicemail or anything left. Pretty sure it was just another one of those dodgy scam calls - ugh. Cheers for the heads-up about “Microsoft” scams!

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming she was ringing on behalf of Microsoft Windows about my PC. I asked her how she got my number since I'm on the do not call list and it’s ex-directory. She insisted it was because I was supposedly a registered Microsoft user. Told her I’d never shared my number with them or consented to any calls. Next thing, she just cut the call off and left me with this awful, high-pitched screeching noise in my ear. Felt like I’d really annoyed her. How do these numbers even stay active? It was a UK landline, too!

Got a call on my landline from 01698458684. The bloke had an Asian accent and said he was from the Microsoft tech team, even gave an English name. Pretty clear it was a scam, so I just told him to bugger off, but wasn’t exactly polite about it.

I got a call from this lady at a call centre, her accent was super thick and she sounded like she was just reading off a script in a language she barely understood. She said she was “Sophie from Microsoft Security” and wanted to talk about my computer. I just chuckled and hung up. What bugs me is that they’re smart enough now to fake their international number to get round my phone blocker.
