12 yearsThis morning I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent, saying there was something wrong with my Microsoft computer.

Left the line open too, but she didn’t wait around once she heard that.12 yearsGot a call a bit ago saying my PC was sending out dodgy messages or whatever. They said they'd call me again later. Honestly, who leaves their number showing if they're trying to scam? Proper daft move.12 yearsGot a call from this number first thing at 7:20 this morning.12 yearsSounds like a total scam to me - some muppet called and started rambling about me having a big problem. I just hung up straight away because, honestly, if there was something wrong, I’d be aware of it unless I’d lost my marbles or something.12 yearsGot a call around noon today from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. I just told him to buzz off and hung up straight away.Microsoft12 yearsSome bloke just had the nerve to ask for my computer's IP, haha what a cheek!12 yearsEvery week, they ring me up at 7 in the morning, and they're nothing but rude. I'm pretty sure they're up to some dodgy, possibly illegal stuff with computers.12 yearsThis has been happening for ages now and I'm really fed up with all the ringing. Total con artists, honestly. Just a heads up to everyone!12 yearsI got a call from this number too, it was someone pretending to be from Microsoft Windows tech support, telling me to log into my PC.

I keep my number unlisted, yet still keep getting loads of annoying calls like that. Been signed up with the TPS as well! Seriously thinking of switching my phone company and getting a completely new number because of this mess.Telephone Preference Service12 yearsThis number rang my landline super early, like 7 in the morning which just woke us from a deep sleep and now we’re feeling terrible.

Thought I'd heard it all!MicrosoftAppleLinux12 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be 'Microsoft Windows tech support,' saying there was a serious issue with my computer and they needed to get in remotely. Totally an Indian scam, watch out folks!India12 yearsSo, this bloke called pretending to be from the WINDOWS XP TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT, threatening to block my computer if I didn’t give them remote access.

If you can, you should report it to Fraud Action Police, they have a website for reporting stuff like this.Fraud Action Police12 yearsGot a call from someone named 'Ron Williams' saying my computer was involved in illegal gambling and he needed to log in to sort it out. He warned me that if I didn't give him access, he'd block my PC. I’ve heard there’s a scam going around in the US and Canada where folks let these types take control of their machines, then the scammers lock them down and ask for money to unlock it - basically a form of ransomware. Definitely be cautious with calls like this and make sure to report them!Ron WilliamsUSCanada12 yearsI just got a call from someone with an Asian accent, calling himself Sean from this number. I tried to play along and asked which part of Ireland he was from, but he ignored that and started going on about my computer. Told him I don’t have one, and he insisted I was using it right then. When I said no, he asked who was on it. I told him that’s none of his business, and he got a bit rude, saying it was. Told him to get lost, and he told me to watch my language. So I gave him a mouthful of every swear I could think of and hung up. Honestly, can’t believe the cheek these scumbags have.SeanEmerald Isle12 yearsGot a call way too early, before 8 in the morning, from someone saying they were from tech support.

They try to get you to pay for some dodgy anti-virus software, then steal your money straight away!

Poor Mrs Smith must be getting hassled with this too, even though she’s got nothing to do with it.
