11 yearsGot a call from someone claiming my PC was infected and that they were part of “windows” (not Microsoft, mind you). When I questioned their story, they just ended the call straight away. Definitely dodgy - I’ve had these sorts of calls before, and they usually want you to disable your security settings. Never trust what they say or do what they tell you!Microsoft11 yearsThey rang up asking what was wrong with my laptop, but it was clear from the start it was one of those scams.11 yearsComplete rip-off, rang me up asking for my missus by name. When I said she wasn’t in, he jumped straight into this spiel about my computer having a virus. I wasn’t having any of it and told him I knew he was making it all up. After that, there was nothing but silence on the other end! :-)11 yearsSome bloke called me, saying my computer was infected with a virus and asked if I could just let him fix a few things remotely. I asked where he was calling from, and he said ‘Acton, London’. So, I thought I’d check the claim and asked about the weather there - but he didn’t have a clue! Definitely sounded dodgy to me.ActonLondon11 yearsThis number just called me as well. The person on the other end sounded like they weren’t local, so I didn’t bother picking up and ended the call. A mate of mine got the same sort of call, and they even managed to shut down his computer, then demanded cash to get it working again. He ended up having to pay for repairs. Seriously, how is this still allowed? It’s such a nuisance.11 yearsI reckon those fake computer fixers should be banned. They ring you up saying there's an issue with your PC when there isn’t one. Seriously, it’s just them trying to con people for their own gain. It’s proper dodgy business.11 yearsThis guy kept hollering “hello” into my answering machine, calling over and over again. You’d think they’d give it a rest by now.11 yearsI got a call from someone claiming there was a problem with my IT system, but I told them I don't even own a computer. They just kept babbling nonsense and then cut me off. Pretty sure it was some sort of IT scam.11 yearsAround 2:49pm, my missus got a phone call from an Asian man who surprisingly already knew our last name. He said I’d mentioned that she was struggling with her laptop. She said she doesn’t even own one, but since I do and I wasn’t around, he said he’d ring back in about an hour. Now we're just waiting to see if he really calls back - might make my afternoon a bit more interesting!11 yearsSomeone called me asking about my laptop, but I reckon it was a scam. They already knew my full name, which’s weird since our number isn’t listed anywhere!11 yearsA guy with an Asian accent called me but had the wrong name. I told him no one here matches that name. Then he asked if I was the phone’s owner. I said no, I’m just renting the flat. He pressed me to hand over the owner’s number - as if my landlord was gonna answer the phone themselves! Definitely felt like some dodgy scam.11 yearsGot a call around 3.40pm from a bloke who spoke really broken English, asking if I owned a computer. I told him I didn’t have one and he just ended the call right away. Pretty clear to me that it was probably the start of a scam.11 yearsGot a call from someone claiming my PC had a virus and offering to help sort it out - yeah right, not falling for that. About to block their number now.11 yearsWe just hung up as soon as we picked up the phone.11 yearsI just got a call from this number. A woman with an Asian accent, who said her name was Rose, asked me to trust her but I asked for some way to prove she was from a real company. She couldn't give me any proof and kept talking over me when I said if there was an issue, I’d reach out to my computer’s official support. I told her I was ending the call and then hung up.Rose11 yearsThey claimed to be from some kind of Tech Support team or something, helping with computer problems. Honestly, seemed a bit dodgy to me, probably a scam.Tech Help11 yearsThey keep calling telling me there's something wrong with my computer, but the thing is, we don't even own one! As soon as I told them that, they started swearing and hung up right away.11 yearsGot a call from this number again, some so-called Computer Tech guy claiming to be in control of my computer. I just told him to jog on.Computer11 yearsGot a call from Scarborough with a lady speaking English really badly - sounded Asian and like she might be calling from somewhere else. They tried to convince me to let them look at my computer, saying they wanted to fix issues, but it felt like a trick to get access and probably steal stuff. Seems like they use a UK number to get you to pick up. Honestly, don’t fall for it and definitely don’t share any info with them. Told them off pretty quick!ScarboroughUK11 yearsToday about 1:30 in the afternoon, 13/8/2015, I got a call from someone trying to scam me about my computer.11 yearsNever share your info with these fraudsters, they’re not to be trusted.11 yearsI got a call from someone who sounded pretty legit, but I hung up and decided to look up the number first. Then the woman called me again and started arguing, claiming she was from Microsoft. Really hope no one falls for this scam. I nearly typed something into the search bar, glad I held off in the end.Microsoft11 yearsI got a call from this number earlier and they wanted to speak to someone by my name. When I told them no one with that name lives here, the person on the other end then asked if I was related to them. I said no, and after that, they just hung up on me.11 yearsLooks like they claim to be from Scarborough, but it's really a dodgy call from abroad. A person from somewhere in India said they could fix my computer. But when I asked for details, they just ended the call.Scarborough11 yearsI reckon this phone number is connected to some kind of IT scam. Wouldn't trust it one bit.11 yearsGot a sketchy call claiming there was something wrong with my computer, total scam.11 yearsIndeed, I recently received a call from this number, claiming to be some sort of tech support. They were probing into our computer issues. It’s clearly a scam, and quite a perilous one at that.11 yearsReceived a call from this number, but as soon as we answered, there was no one on the line. Odd, isn't it?11 yearsWe just received a call from this number, but as soon as we answered, there was complete silence on the other end. Quite puzzling, really!11 yearsReceived a call claiming our mum had a problem with her computer, but here’s the kicker: she doesn’t even own one! We wasted no time and blocked these scammers on the spot!Submit Your Own Report (01723 585779)
