Tried calling but couldn’t get straight through because of call blocking we have in place. We got a call from a number alike just the day before yesterday and the day before that too.

I picked up the phone and there was nobody there. Figured it was probably a scam, and this website just proved I was right.

This lady with an Asian accent called me, said there was some sort of tech glitch that had caused me to be charged too much, and tried to get me to agree to a refund. I’m telling you, it’s a total SCAM, beware, SCAM for sure!

Our landline’s call blocker flagged this number and stopped the call, must be a scam.

Definitely a call centre trying to scam you. Stay away!

caller kept pushing me for info but refused to explain what the call was for, then just suddenly ended the call.

This morning about 10:05 I missed a call because my BT Call Guardian blocked it from coming through on my landline. Shame it doesn’t work with mobiles, but for a home phone it’s brilliant at keeping scam calls away. I’d definitely suggest using something like this if you want to avoid pesky spam calls. There are other brands out there too, just a heads up.

Today I got a call from someone pretending to be from Microsoft. They said my computer info was involved in some kind of #### business. They wanted me to enter this code: 888DCASA60-FCOOA-11CF, but I didn’t give them any info. They kept ringing me one after the other, which was really frustrating and felt like harassment. Cheers.

Got a call but it was just a bot, didn’t say a single word back. Pretty annoying not getting any response.

Got a call around half past twelve, with some bloke speaking with a thick Indian accent mumbling something about Microsoft. The line was all crackly and far away, so I just told him to get lost and ended the call. Pretty clear it was a scam.

Got a call from someone saying they're from Virgin tech, sounded like a total scam to me.

I’ve read through a few of the other reviews and honestly, the best thing you can do is not share any details or hit any keys when you get one of these dodgy calls. Stay sharp!

I got two calls from this number. The first time, a guy with an Indian accent said he was from Sky, said he’d ring me again because I was busy, then just hung up. When I called back, a woman answered and said she hadn’t called me, she was having her tea, so it looked like my call was being redirected somewhere weird. Then they rang me once more today, and as soon as I picked up, they just ended the call. Really frustrating! I tried calling the number again, but it says it’s not recognised. What’s going on with this?

There was this person on the phone with a strong Indian accent, saying they were from Sky, but it was really hard to make out what they were saying.

They didn't bother to leave me a message, so I’m guessing it wasn’t anything urgent.

Got a ring on my home phone from this number today. When I picked up, there was a bit of silence then a man with an Asian accent said, "Good morning ma'am, I'm calling from Microsoft about your computer." I told him I don’t own a computer, and he then asked if I use any internet devices. After I said no he just hung up. Definitely a scam, watch out for this one.
