Received a call about five days back, and it was my husband who picked up. The other end was an Asian lady claiming there might be an issue with our home computer. My husband, not having any of it, quickly informed her that she was trying to pull a fast one. She cheekily asked him how he could draw such a conclusion, to which he replied that if she was genuine, she’d know he doesn’t even have a home computer and that the laptop he uses is owned by his employer, well-maintained and updated by them. He ended with a rather firm "P*** Off" before hanging up. Honestly, when will these nuisances ever come to a halt?

I encountered something quite similar earlier today. A lady with an Asian accent rang me, claiming she was inquiring about a computer issue. When I informed her that I don’t own a computer, she promptly hung up. I’ve now added that number to my blacklist.

Do yourself a favour and blacklist this number! It's clearly scammers at work here, so steer clear and don’t divulge any personal information. Honestly, it's nobody’s business except your own. Keep your wits about you and stay protected!

I just received a call from this number, and a woman speaking with an Indian accent informed me that there was some "rubbish" on my computer. I told her I thought it was nonsense because I don’t even own a computer. Suddenly, she just hung up on me. How bizarre!

Got a call from an asian guy saying I was signed up for some kind of windows or apple software. He admitted he wasn’t actually from Microsoft when I asked. He couldn’t say which operating system I’m using, but kept insisting he needed to "check my software". I just hung up on him.

This number keeps calling me and cuts off as soon as my call screening picks up. It’s getting quite tiresome!

Some bloke called saying he was with an IT firm and needed to fix something on my PC, but I just hung up straight away.

My landline just got a call from this number around 9:35 in the morning. I opted not to pick up since I didn't recognise who was calling. Honestly, these types of calls are such a bother!

I recently received a phone call from this number, and they seemed to kick off some sort of process related to eventvwm. However, when I enquired about how they acquired my information, the chap on the other end claimed I was a registered Microsoft user, which is quite curious since I don’t have any personal account as my computer is registered under my company’s name. I mentioned that I’d have my IT support ring him back, and just like that, he disconnected the call. What on earth are they up to, and shouldn't Microsoft be taking action against such practices?

Got a call this morning from someone claiming to do computer checks or something, didn't buy it for a second and just ended the call. Not falling for that one.

I just received a phone call from this number. The chap on the line introduced himself as George Williams, claiming to be from IT technical support. He wanted to have a word about some problems with my computer. When I informed him that I actually don’t own a computer, he abruptly ended the call. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

You won't believe this - I rang them up about an issue I was having with my laptop, and they offered to help me out. So, the bloke on the other end asked for my username, and without skipping a beat, I said B*********. Then he wanted my password, and I blurted out F****k O***! Absolutely hilarious, isn’t it?

Received a rather dodgy phone call on my landline the other day. The caller claimed to be from Microsoft, insisting my Windows PC was throwing up alerts regarding Windows 10. They insisted on addressing me as 'ma'am,' which was just ridiculous. Every line they spun felt off, and I could tell they were pulling stuff out of thin air. When I firmly stated that I worked in tech support for that number and called out their nonsense-like how they were ‘helping’ me with Microsoft issues without being affiliated-I could practically hear them sweating over the receiver. Eventually, they decided to hang up, probably realising they’d met their match!

I received a call from this number while I was out and about at half past eleven on Friday. I really don’t get why the number isn’t private. Isn’t there some way to block or report this?

Received a call claiming there was an issue with my computer. When I pointed out it sounded like a scam, the caller insisted otherwise. I decided to end the conversation there.

I've received numerous calls from this particular number, but every time I answer, there’s only dead air on the other end before they simply disconnect. Quite odd, really!

I received a call from this individual who was quite keen to chat about my computer. When I decided to play a little trick and claimed to be a computer engineer, he promptly ended the call.

As soon as we answered the call, it went completely quiet. Some people are implying that it might be a pesky tech glitch or something along those lines.
