Got 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!

They rang up asking what was wrong with my laptop, but it was clear from the start it was one of those scams.

Complete fraud - the individual phoned pretending to know my wife personally, but when I mentioned she wasn't available, he immediately began with his false claims about our supposedly infected computer. In response, I confronted him and made it clear that I was well aware of his deceptive tactics. Immediately afterwards, there was nothing but silence on the line! :-)

Some 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.

I received a call from the same number recently. I politely informed the woman, who was clearly from a different country, that I would not be engaging with her and promptly ended the call. A similar incident occurred with a friend of mine, where his computer was completely shut down and he was extorted for money in order to have it fixed. He ended up having to pay for repairs, which was quite costly. It is frustrating that these types of scams continue to occur without being effectively prevented.

I 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.

This guy kept hollering “hello” into my answering machine, calling over and over again. You’d think they’d give it a rest by now.

I 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.

At 14:49, an Asian gentleman called my wife, knowing our surname, and claimed that I had informed him about her laptop issues. My wife informed him that she didn't own a laptop, but I did. Since I wasn't available at the time, he mentioned he would call back in an hour. I am eagerly waiting for the return call, which has the potential to brighten up my afternoon.

Someone 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!

A gentleman of Asian descent called me and mispronounced my name. I informed him that no one with that name resides here. Suspiciously, he asked if I was the owner of the phone. I replied affirmatively that I am not the owner; I am merely a tenant renting the property. Then he audaciously requested to speak with the owner of the phone, as if the landlord would reside in the same place! Clearly, this has all the markings of a suspicious scam.

Today, at 15:40, I received a phone call from an individual inquiring about my status as the computer owner. The caller was male and had a significant language barrier, resulting in poor English proficiency. I promptly informed the caller that I did not possess a computer. Without hesitation, he abruptly terminated the call. It is highly likely that this encounter was a preceding indication of a scam attempt.

I recently received a phone call from this specific number. The caller was an Asian female who identified herself as Rose. I kindly asked her to provide me with some evidence to confirm that she represented a legitimate company. However, she either couldn't or wouldn't comply and continuously interrupted me when I mentioned that I could seek assistance from my computer's internal support service in case of any issues. At that point, I informed her that I was ending the call and promptly hung up.

I suspect they're running a con, as they claimed to be from Tech Help, offering assistance with computer problems.

We receive frequent calls complaining about issues with a computer that we do not even own. When I explain this, the individuals on the other end often become verbally abusive and abruptly end the call.

I received another call from this number, claiming to be a Computer Tech. They mentioned that you are the primary user of your computer, but I immediately told them to go away indeed.

Beware of a potential scam that involves someone posing as a computer technician and urging you to check your computer. They may offer assistance, but their true intention is to gain unauthorized access to your computer for nefarious purposes. This particular scam has been reported with regards to a call received from a Scarborough number with a female Asian voice. Although the caller may struggle with English and claim to be calling from abroad, they cleverly spoof their number to appear as a UK contact. It is imperative that you do not disclose any personal or sensitive information to these fraudsters. Politely decline their solicitation and kindly ask them to refrain from contacting you further.

I recently received a phone call that seemed quite plausible, but I had the presence of mind to hang up and verify the number. Surprisingly enough, the lady called me back and insisted that she represented Microsoft, leading to a heated argument. It's alarming to think that there are scams like these out there. I almost even went ahead and searched for more information, but thankfully I stopped myself.

I recently got a call from this particular number. The person on the other end inquired about me using my name. When I informed them that no one by that name resides here, they proceeded to ask if I was a family member. I responded negatively, after which the caller promptly hung up the phone.

Although the location may appear to be Scarborough, it is actually a fraudulent scheme originating from abroad. I received a call from an individual in the Indian subcontinent offering assistance with my computer. However, when I inquired for additional information, she abruptly terminated the call.
