1 yearI got a call from a lady with an Indian accent warning me that my computer was hacked. When I told her it wasn’t and I wasn’t gonna let anyone hack me, she sounded a bit annoyed.1 yearBlocked the number right away - it was a scammer for sure!2 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today, picked up but they just ended the call immediately.2 yearsAbsolutely shocking, these lot have ZERO manners and are total scammers!2 yearsTOTAL SCAM - Got a call from some person who clearly can’t hold a decent job. Best thing to do is just block them!FRAUD ALERT2 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a really thick Indian accent, trying to sell me some rubbish investment linked to a boiler company or something like that. Felt like a total scam, probably a firm that’s not even legit.2 yearsFirst they ring, ask for your name to confirm, then just end the call abruptly.2 yearsGot a call on my mobile from 01865600470 but didn’t answer since I didn’t know who it was. I’ve no connections in Oxford anyway. Saw what others said about it looking dodgy, and I definitely don’t have any computers worth hacking, so it seemed a bit risky to pick up.Oxford2 yearsOnce you sign up for those surveys, you’ll start getting calls from these scammy people.2 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer and personal data were being accessed without permission. They wanted to talk to either me or my wife. I told them my security was handled by a well-known firm, but they insisted that wasn’t good enough. The caller kept saying they worked for Microsoft, but I told them Microsoft doesn’t usually contact people like this and ended the call. Right after hanging up, the same number rang again but I just let it go to voicemail. I've now blocked the number to avoid any further hassle.Microsoft2 yearsGot a call on my landline from someone claiming to be from Windows, asking for me. I just hung up straight away. Then the same number called back like nothing happened! Had to block it, what nerve!2 yearsGot a call at 7.45 this morning, on a Saturday of all days. I didn’t pick up 'cause the number was unfamiliar and just let it ring, which ended up waking my husband. No message was left either, so I guess they weren't really keen to have a chat after all!2 yearsSomebody rang up saying they worked for Windows, telling me my computer had a major issue with the software.Microsoft2 yearsTotal scam, be careful!2 yearsIt says it’s Microsoft, but the calls just keep coming. I’ve already had six in a row.Microsoft2 yearsI got a call early in the morning, about eight o'clock, from a woman who sounded Asian. I figured something might be up so I picked up, but honestly, I couldn't make out most of what she said. The only word I caught was "internet," which made me suspicious it could be some sort of scam. I just ended the call. Then, she called again four times in just a few minutes! I kept telling her to quit calling my number, but she didn’t listen. Eventually, I had to unplug the phone entirely.2 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming he worked for Microsoft Windows. He told me someone was trying to hack into my computer and then started shouting really loudly, which freaked me out so I just ended the call. Later, he called back a couple more times but I didn’t pick up. Eventually, my husband answered and told him we were going to look up the number and that it didn’t seem legit. Since then, the bloke hasn’t stopped ringing. Proper annoying!2 yearsGot a call from this number at 11:03 today but chose not to pick up once I read the bad reviews about it here.2 yearsI received a phone call from someone purporting to be from Windows tech support, and I could tell right away it was a con, mainly due to the caller’s accent, which sounded distinctly Asian. With two decades of IT expertise under my belt, I immediately recognised their dubious claims of my device being compromised as absolute rubbish. I cheekily informed them that I would be billing them for any future calls at a rate of £10 per minute. Believe it or not, they rang me again!2 yearsI received a call from a woman with an Indian accent who seemed to know who I was. She said she was representing Microsoft and inquired about the last time I had operated my Windows computer.Microsoft2 yearsWithout doubt, this is a brazen scam, attempting to intimidate individuals into submission by claiming their computer has been compromised and demanding a ransom for restoration. Phrases like "you’ve experienced over 5000 breaches previously" are clearly aimed at instilling fear on a grand scale. Being in the IT field myself, I considered launching a counter-hack against their operation, but unfortunately, time is not on my side. Should I believe this was genuinely based in Oxford city centre, I’d absolutely send a mate over for a little chat about their prospects!Oxford2 yearsI've received numerous calls from this number, even after I disconnected the line. The caller was adamant that I needed to switch on my computer since it had allegedly been compromised. His manner was rather disrespectful, to say the least.2 yearsEncountered that as well earlier today - quite disturbing, to be honest.2 yearsI received a call from a woman of Asian descent discussing Windows, but her accent made it quite tough to follow. We ended up hanging up on her. Before long, she rang back, wanting to know why we’d cut the call short. We decided to hang up once more. Definitely felt like a scam to me.2 yearsSo my partner picked up the phone and it was a woman with a Chinese accent mentioning our last name, but she was mumbling a lot, so she just ended the call. Later, I tried calling back but it went straight to voicemail and there wasn’t any message. I’ve decided to block the number now.2 yearsThis morning I got a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft Windows saying my PC was in danger. I told them I've only got Apple stuff and they just ended the call. Definitely seemed like a scam to me!MicrosoftApple2 yearsI can't believe the audacity of these individuals! They attempted to extract sensitive information from my elderly mum. It started with a bloke, and then a woman rang her back. They were exceedingly aggressive, insisting that she wouldn’t be able to operate her Windows computer, phone, or even her iPad unless she divulged certain details. Fortunately, she had the sense to hang up on them. Honestly, I can't stand these scoundrels!2 yearsHad yet another dodgy scam call from someone with an Asian accent. They started off with the classic "How are you today?" nonsense! Apparently, something’s wrong with my Windows security, they said! Eventually, they passed me over to a 'senior consultant' (likely just a mate of his), and I told him to shove it! After that, he hung up on me!2 yearsYesterday, I received a phone call from a gentleman who sounded Asian. He asked to speak to me by name, to which I responded, "That's me." He proceeded to inquire whether I resided at a particular address. At that point, I decided to terminate the conversation and block the number.2 yearsI received a rather garbled call from someone claiming to discuss my Windows system. It struck me as suspicious, and when I inquired for further details, they abruptly terminated the conversation. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!2 yearsThey ring round about 8 or 8.30 in the morning, but I never pick up since they don’t bother leaving any sort of message.2 yearsGot a call from someone in India saying they were from Windows security. They hung up straight away but then called back and left a couple of silent voicemail messages. No idea what they wanted.2 yearsGot a call around 8:30 in the evening. The guy on the line sounded like he was from India or Pakistan judging by his accent. He said he was calling from Windows security and told me there was some dodgy activity on my PC, offering to guide me through sorting it out. When I started questioning him, he got pretty defensive. I have to admit, I played along for a bit just for the fun of it. Little did he know, I’ve been in IT for years, working closely with Windows systems. By the time I ended the call, he seemed quite irate and didn't take it well.2 yearsWhat a waste of time, seriously just block the number!2 yearsI received a call from 01865600470, a landline number based in Oxford. The chap on the line, who sounded Asian, claimed there was a grave issue with our windows - whatever that meant. It was all rather odd, especially since he seemed to know our address. The call came in at 8:11 in the morning and, to top it off, I had to physically unplug the landline to end the conversation; it just wouldn’t let me hang up! Quite a bizarre experience, I must say.Oxford2 yearsGot a call from some Asian lady saying she was from the "Windows Security Team" and that my computer was hacked. When I questioned her, she got pretty snappy. I’ve blocked the number now, so no clue if she rang back.Windows Security Department2 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking with an Asian/Indian accent, saying she was from Windows Security and claimed my computer had been hacked. I asked for a number to check the call wasn't a scam, and then she started sounding quite pushy. I said I was going to end the call and put the phone down. She phoned again and kept ringing back a few times more, but I just ignored the last three calls.Windows Security2 yearsThey rang me three times in a row but never said a word.2 yearsA woman with a foreign accent said she was from the security office regarding my laptop and computer. When I asked more questions, she just ended the call.Submit Your Own Report (01865 600470)
