9 yearsThere were calls over the weekend and earlier today. I chose not to pick up after reading what others said.9 yearsWhy do these idiots even bother calling at weekends? What’s their problem!9 yearsToday I got a call from an Asian man on 08.10 who said he was with Microsoft. I instantly knew it was fake and told him straight up he wasn’t, then ended the call. Just a heads up, Microsoft will NEVER phone you. It’s a common scam going around.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from a lady with a foreign accent saying she was from Microsoft and needed to check my computer. Didn’t fall for it, just hung up straight away.Microsoft9 yearsRang me at an absurdly early hour - yet another pesky Microsoft scammer on the line. When I confronted her, she had the audacity to insist she was definitely representing Microsoft. Absolutely despicable behaviour!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call early in the morning around 7:44 from a woman with a foreign accent. She said it was an urgent matter and asked if she could get access to my computer. Felt a bit dodgy to me.9 yearsI got calls from this number on my home phone 4 times this morning, all between about 6.35 and 7.20am. None of the calls had anyone talking, but the final call lasted over half an hour without them hanging up first. Quite strange!9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy claiming he worked at Microsoft. He said his name was Ryan Wood and gave a company address that seemed legit. When I asked for his employee number, he said something like T1226. I challenged him and he said he called because his PC told him there was a problem. I ended up hanging up, but then he rang back again!MicrosoftRyan Wood9 yearsHad a call early today and I went along with it at first without much thought. Then they wanted me to download a file from a sketchy website that definitely didn’t seem official like Microsoft’s. When I asked them to email it instead, the person got angry and started threatening to lock my computer. I just ended up hanging up. Honestly, I ended up wasting nearly half an hour on this nonsense. Wouldn't recommend answering these!Microsoft9 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with Microsoft but it was totally dodgy. Does anyone know where I can report these scammers to get them stopped?Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from this 01799 number bright and early at 8am, but it was completely silent. Seems like they’re just harassing me along with a bunch of other calls I’ve gotten lately. A few of those were from 01795 numbers, but the people on the other end had such thick accents I couldn’t make out a word, so I just ended the call. We’re on the TPS list, but I’m pretty sure some dodgy company has found a loophole. Looks like I’ll have to get some extra call-blocking tools for the phone line.TPS9 yearsSome bloke said he was from Microsoft and started shouting at me. He even went on about calling the cops because I was supposedly assisting some hacker. I just ended the call straight away.Microsoft9 yearsI got a call from someone who said there was a cybercrime tied to our home, and they warned they would block our computer.

I just ended the call. If they were legit, surely they’d say Microsoft instead of just Windows, right?Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from a woman with an accent, she claimed she was from Microsoft saying there was a problem with my PC that needed fixing. I told her I was aware (my webcam stopped working after the latest update) and that I didn’t really trust Microsoft much these days, let alone some random person claiming to be from them. After that, she turned rude and started shouting at me.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call at 10:18 this morning, but since unknown numbers go straight to my voicemail, they just ended the call right away!

They should just bugger off and get a proper job instead of pulling these dodgy lies and scams to swindle people out of their info. What a sad bunch of lowlifes and tossers.9 yearsI waited for about half a minute and no one picked up, just silence before they hung up.9 yearssome bloke tried the microsoft scam on me, and when I just laughed it off, he got proper angry and started banging on about involving the government or something!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent pretending to be from Microsoft.
