2 yearsTrusted - Tesco Hiring TeamTesco Hiring Team4 yearsGot called outta nowhere by some dodgy telecom person tryin to rip me off. Total scam, watch out!4 yearsThey didn’t even try to leave a message, so I just went ahead and blocked the number.4 yearsGot a call with loads of background noise but no one I know from WGC, so I just ended it.Welwyn Garden City4 yearsSo this number 01707240082 rang me up pretending to be from Microsoft. They wanted to know if I was the primary user of a computer at home. I told them I don’t own a computer at all! Then after a moment of silence, the caller asked if I had a tablet or a laptop instead. I answered no again. The call went dead, so I just ended it. It’s weird they actually knew my name. Funny enough, I do have a couple of computers plus a tablet, but they had no clue about any of that. Honestly, these sorts of calls need to be stopped somehow!Microsoft4 yearsI answered the call but stayed quiet, there was just silence from the other side before they suddenly ended the call. Seems like one of those dodgy scams to me.4 yearsIf anyone recognises the number, it's definitely GAMMA TELECOM HOLDINGS. Someone should really reach out to BT and get them to put an end to this.GAMMA TELECOM4 yearsNo answer, just silence on the other end.4 yearsI answered the phone and the caller just hung up straight away - total scam! It’s crazy how the phone companies aren’t cracking down on this already!!!???4 yearsGot a few calls from 01707240082 claiming to be from Microsoft. On the third ring, the caller got nasty and started swearing at me! I told her to chill out and stop being rude, but she just kept hurling insults. In the end, I just hung up. She threatened to keep ringing me daily - not sure how to deal with that 😩Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from a bloke called Harry, pretty deep voice, said he was from Microsoft. He asked after me, about my computers or something. Told him all's fine here and just ended the call. Not falling for any scams now!HarryMicrosoft4 yearsThey rang me twice today, once at 8:25 in the morning and again about 4:30 in the afternoon. The first caller was a woman who told me to go hang myself after I told her to jog off. When a bloke called the second time, I said something similar and he just ended the call immediately.4 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from Microsoft - they never ring me, obviously, with so many millions of users out there. She was going on about some security breach on my computer and wanted to know what was on my monitor. I told her it was confidential info since I work in accounting. She kept insisting and I told her it wasn’t confidential anymore. We ended up arguing, and then she just started swearing at me. Honestly, Microsoft really should train their people better on how to talk to folks. I wasn’t buying any of her nonsense and let her know it straight away!Microsoft4 yearsi picked up the call and they just dropped it straight away.4 yearsGot a call from 01707 240082, seems like a scam where they were trying to pass off as Microsoft.

He had a strange accent and told me my computer was being hacked without me knowing. When I asked if it was a scam, he suddenly got really rude. Definitely steer clear of this one!!!MicrosoftBest4 yearsI could hear breathing and some noise in the background when the call came through. As soon as I picked up, the caller just hung up.

I usually check on this site to figure out who’s ringing.4 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Microsoft. I asked if it had anything to do with an old place I used to live and he said yes. I told him I moved out over a decade ago. He said sorry and promised no more calls. We'll see if he sticks to that! Honestly, it sounded kinda dodgy.Microsoft4 yearsGot a call again today, but this time they weren't silent. The person claimed they were from some call blocking company, saying they’d help block annoying telemarketers and fix up my call blocking settings. Bit suspicious if you ask me.4 yearsTotally a scam, don’t trust it!4 yearsI received a call from an Indian individual purporting to be from Microsoft, stating there was an issue with my computer. Ironically, he was the real issue! It’s best to steer clear of these fraudulent calls; I've encountered a number of them in just the past week.
