Got a call from some bloke in India running that same old computer scam. Seriously, don’t they get that people aren’t falling for it anymore? It’s just tiring.

This looks like a UK number but the call had loads of background noise and delay, so I figured it was a scam. I told the person to leave me alone since my computer's fine. I’ve blocked the number now, so hopefully they just get a continuous busy tone next time they ring.

This number just rang me but I missed it, got the answerphone instead. Bit annoying. I've dealt with these lot a few times, told 'em I'll call my son who works as a copper off duty. They hang up straight away haha!

Today at 8.32am, got a call from a bloke claiming to be with Microsoft. He said my PC had some amber alert and wanted me to switch it on so I could read out the Microsoft ID. Thankfully, I told him I had no idea what he was on about and said my husband would call back instead. He gave us a number and said to ask for Alan - but that number’s dead now. The guy spoke with a thick Indian accent and was quite rude to me. I actually told him off for being so aggressive since he was the one ringing me. Feels awful thinking what if he’s conning others like this. Any idea how to put a stop to it?

Got a call from this number earlier, some woman speaking with a really thick foreign accent. Maybe Indian? She claimed there was something wrong with my computer or something. Told her I wasn’t interested, then she just ended the call. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call early this morning, around 8:45, someone was trying to chat about my computer? Thing is, I don’t even have one!

I told them I'd be reporting the number to the police, and they just ended the call right after.

Some guy rang up claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer had a serious error. I asked where he got my number from, as I'm unlisted and signed up with the TPS. He just shut up and ended the call.

Totally a rip-off, best thing to do is put the phone down straight away.

Got a call this morning from someone claiming there was a problem with my computer. He started insisting I switch it on right away. I told him I wasn’t comfortable doing that. Then he threatened to block it because I wouldn't cooperate. I finally told him I don’t even own a computer, and he just ended the call. The bloke sounded really rude and had an accent that made it tricky to catch what he was saying.

Got a call from some bloke claiming there was something wrong with my Windows. I played along for about 5 minutes, keeping him hanging with all sorts of made-up stuff about my PC. In the end, I told him to jog on and vanish into oblivion.

Got a call around 2.30 in the afternoon from someone claiming to be with Microsoft. He mentioned that there were some error alerts coming from my computer. I told him right away that I’m aware it’s a scam, and then he just said “oh mam” and ended the call.

I got a Microsoft scammer on the line and kept him chatting for nearly half an hour before he cottoned on that I was winding him up. Lately, it feels like they’re ringing loads of people up here in the North-east. Rather than just hanging up, try acting like your PC’s loading really slowly or your internet's playing up - I even managed to convince him that the site he wanted me to use was down. Keeping them talking and having a laugh means they’re not off scamming some unsuspecting pensioner. The number they rang from was 01787 472 055.

some bloke called claiming to be from microsoft windows, saying there was an error on my computer. i mentioned recently having new double glazing fitted, and when he asked which operating system i had, i just said “cr smith”. he got proper confused after that and ended up swearing at me, telling me to f**k off. sounds like these scam folks are catching on that people aren’t falling for their tricks any more... dodgy lot.

I got a call about some messages supposedly from my computer, but they wouldn’t explain anything. They didn’t even try to check who I was. When I asked which computer they were talking about, they just ended the call. Looks like a total scam to me.

Some bloke rang up pretending to be from Microsoft support. I’d already heard about these dodgy calls so I told him I didn’t even own a PC. He didn’t seem to buy it though. Had a bit of fun winding him up, but eventually he seemed knackered and just hung up.

Got a call this morning around 8.45 from a man with an Asian accent saying he was from Microsoft. He told me there were loads of error reports linked to my computer and asked me to log in. Didn’t sit well with me to be questioned like that.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft wanting my login info so they could fix a virus on my computer. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.
