9 yearsGot a call from this number way too early on a Sunday morning like 6:30 am! I missed it and was left stressing, wondering if something bad had happened, couldn’t get back to sleep after that. Then at 9:30 am, it rang again and my hubby picked up - turns out it was one of those fake Microsoft computer repair scams. Even after me telling them off, they called a couple more times that day. I’ve finally put the number 01784 279712 on my block list now.Microsoft9 yearsThey always ring me first thing in the morning, so I figure it’s after 9am in their time zone. The phone number shows up as being from Stained, Essex - those little scammers sure know how to cover their tracks.StainedEssex9 yearsThey ring me just at the crack of dawn, so I'm thinking it must be past 9 in their timezone. The calls come through a number based in Essex, like Stained or something. Pretty sneaky scammers if you ask me.StainsEssex9 yearsThey’ve been ringing me up first thing every morning this week. Proper annoying lot. Half the time it’s just dead silence then they hang up, or some bloke pretending to be from "Microsoft" claiming my PC needs sorting. This number’s on the TPS list too. I’m not usually one for harsh punishments but honestly, throwing stones at these muppets wouldn’t be too far off!Microsoft9 yearsThis morning, I saw a missed call from 01784279712 but didn’t pick up. Seems like just another spam or scam call, really annoying.9 yearsGot a call from a man today claiming to be with Microsoft. When I asked if he was aware of the TPS list, he claimed Microsoft supported it. I called him out as a scammer, and he quickly shot back saying "You’re going to be reported for those accusations, this call is being recorded." I told him I might press charges for offensive language. After that, he threatened to wreck my computer and then just hung up.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call on my landline at 6.30am, they hung up after a couple of rings. Then the same number called back about 7.20am - a lady with a strong American accent answered. I told her, “Do you even know what time it is in the UK? I don't take 'business calls' at this hour.” She snapped back saying I should have just turned my phone off. Didn’t seem to realise it was a landline, not a mobile! I’m 78, recently lost my husband and feeling quite fragile lately. Ended up saying, “How dare you ring me this early! Get off my phone!” That actually lifted my spirits a bit :)UKLittle9 yearsGot a call from an unknown number but they hung up before I could answer. No voicemail or anything left.9 yearsGot a daft bloke on the line chatting about some computer stuff. Just told him to jog on. The number showing was 01784 279712.9 yearsGot a call at 6:50 in the morning, but when I answered, there was just silence on the other side.9 yearsGot a call at 6:55 but as soon as I picked up, the line just went silent.9 yearsGot a call really early, like 6:40 in the morning, but nobody spoke. Then they rang me again just before 9, claiming to be from Microsoft support regarding my PC. I just ended the call straight away.Microsoft9 yearsMy mum’s been getting calls from this number around half seven in the morning. It’s someone with a foreign accent going on about Microsoft. Isn’t there some sort of action that should be taken against companies that pull stunts like this?Microsoft9 yearsGot a call really early, like 7 in the morning, but the line just cut out. Tried ringing them back, but the number didn’t show up on my phone anywhere. Very strange!9 yearsThey rang me at about 7.22, but just let it go to voicemail without leaving anything.9 yearsReceived a call at twenty to eight this morning, but they hung up without uttering a word. Quite baffling!9 yearsGot two calls today, one at 6:30am and another just before 8. Both times it rang about 5 times.9 yearsGot a call at half past seven in the morning from someone claiming to be Microsoft. Told them off right away for ringing so early. They started going on about my computer being hacked, but I wasn’t having any of it and quickly told them what I thought before hanging up.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call just before 7am and again around 7.45, but then the line just cut off. Really want to track down these jokers.9 yearsThe phone rang just after 7 o'clock this morning. I caught a snippet of the conversation mentioning "Windows," and for a split second, I thought they were referring to actual windows like the ones you find in buildings. Turns out, they were likely on about the Microsoft variety instead. I couldn’t help but interject, pointing out that it was still rather early for such calls, and I promptly hung up with a bit of force.Microsoft9 yearsAt 7.15 this morning, this number called me at my home. Then, it called back again around 11 am, talking something about my computer. Strange timing and quite annoying!9 yearsI picked up the phone and they just hung up straight away.9 yearsI've had numerous calls from this number in the past fortnight.

Pretty suspicious if you ask me.Microsoft9 yearsThey suddenly disconnected without uttering a word.9 yearsI rang back the number but they just cut me off.
