9 yearsReceived a call at twenty to nine on a Saturday morning, and a bloke with a foreign accent introduced himself as being from Microsoft. I didn't bother waiting for him to continue; I just hung up straight away. Honestly, I’m not even a fella and don’t own a computer! Definitely a massive scam warning!Microsoft10 yearsDidn’t answer the call.10 yearsI don’t know who was calling me from this number, it was just silent again. I do night shifts, so these calls really mess with my sleep. Wonder how they’d feel if someone kept disturbing their precious sleep like that? Honestly, they need to find some real work. This number has rung me a few times before too.10 yearsAbsolutely dodgy! BEWARE, everyone!! If you mention you own an Apple Mac, they vanish in an instant! Stay sharp out there!10 yearsI got calls like this at my work phone - said something about Windows support needing to fix issues. Had them ring me like four times over just two days. Total scam, definitely dodgy.10 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number every day lately, but thankfully, I invested in a call-blocking phone which silences the ring. It really makes me think that companies like SKY and BT should take immediate action to eliminate such harassment by cutting off these numbers.SKYBT10 yearsGot a call around 1:45 this afternoon from a guy with an Asian accent, saying he was "Jordan from Windows something." Didn’t even wait to hear more and just hung up. When I tried to call the number back, it kept saying it wasn’t a valid number. Strange!Jordan10 yearsI've received a call from someone claiming to be from the Microsoft office, stating that my computer has some issues. It's clearly a scam, isn't it?Microsoft10 yearsThis number has been ringing me 27 times over the last five days - it's honestly driving me up the wall. I finally reported it to the Police Cyber Crime unit but I doubt they’ll do much about it, to be honest. When you’re getting pestered this much, what else are you supposed to do?Police Cyber Crime10 yearsBeen getting calls from 01962854071 about 5 times within just 7 hours, and it's so annoying! I picked up once but there was nothing but silence on the other end, so now I’m just ignoring them. It’s really frustrating, especially since I’m on night shifts.10 yearsI've had this number, 019628540710, keep calling my landline like 3 times over the past day. Nothing happens when I tried calling it back - seems like it doesn't even exist. I'm convinced it's some sort of scam. I'm not gonna pick up or call back, no way.10 yearsReceived a dodgy call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, insisting they needed to sort out a problem with my computer. Definitely a scam!Microsoft10 yearsThis bloke named Javad?? rang me claiming he was from Windows, telling me some dodgy download was harming my computer. I told him he must be barking mad 'cause this place is a car dealership with loads of computers around. After that, he just hung up on me. Bit suspicious if you ask me! Total SCAM.Javad10 yearsThey keep ringing non-stop, like 5 times in just 5 minutes, and it happens pretty much every weekday. Even after blocking the number, they act like we’ll suddenly pick up. Total lack of respect for the fact we don’t want to answer!10 yearsWhat a right con job! I received a call from some bloke claiming to be with Microsoft, insisting that there was an issue with our computer. It’s clearly a ruse!Microsoft10 yearsThis number 01962854071 just keeps ringing but we ignore it every time. Hopefully, these scammy calls will stop once they realise we’re not picking up!10 yearsThis dodgy caller keeps ringing me even after I block their number, they just switch to a new one each time. It’s proper frustrating! I did report them to the ombudsman, but it hasn’t made any difference. Might just mess with them myself next time for a bit of amusement. Haha, as I’m typing this, they’ve called again - first from 01962854071, now from 0097059007. Either they’re really desperate or just daft!10 yearsI got calls from this number like seven times over six hours, with someone saying there was something wrong with my computer. I told them I don’t even own a computer, so then they asked if I had a laptop. Eventually, I just started hanging up every time. No clue how they even managed to find my number since it’s not listed anywhere in the phone book.10 yearsTotal waste of time, I don’t do that kinda thing. Got a call on 2nd Dec '16 morning and another on 6th Dec '16 evening. The first bloke, sounded Asian and called himself Gordon, talking about computers - hung up on him straight away. The second time, just silence then some noisy background, the caller said hello but I replied in a short, grumpy tone and they ended the call. I always check the number with 1471. I’m ex-directory and registered with the TPS. The number that called me was 01962854071.GordonTPS10 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent, claiming to be from Windows support trying to scam me. Really dodgy!10 yearsSo this bloke with an Indian accent rang me earlier today saying he was from Windows and that my computer was messed up or something. It definitely seemed like he was calling from some busy call centre. I told him I don’t even own a computer and that I’d noted his number down and would be reporting it to the Police. I thought he’d start shouting or being rude but surprisingly he just said, “I won’t bother you again” and hung up. Pretty weird!10 yearsReceived a call from 0915 on the 23rd of November, 2016, from a gentleman with an Indian accent. He claimed to be alerting me about ‘corrupted Windows files’. Clearly, it was all a ruse!10 yearsGot a call on the 23rd of November 2016 while I was sitting in my Brighton flat. I was on my laptop, so I looked up the number as it was ringing. Honestly, glad I didn’t pick up. From what I’ve dealt with before, these calls are usually about getting you to install some remote access program so they can “repair” your computer. What actually happens is they install software that logs your keystrokes. Then whenever you’re using the internet, it sends all your info straight to them, waiting to catch you making purchases or logging into your online banking. Be careful out there.Brighton10 yearsGot this call supposedly about some computer issue causing errors. Total rubbish. The person on the phone was quite unpleasant and kept pushing me to say I owned the computer. When I asked why they were ringing, they got really annoyed. Don’t waste your time with them, just end the call and block the number.10 yearsThis number has called me quite a few times. The last call I just played along and asked what happens if I don’t own a computer? They just said “oh” and then ended the call straight away!10 yearsJust got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from Windows 10 support, rang me from this number. Thing is I don’t even have Windows 10 on my PC! I’ve had some dodgy calls before from people pretending to be Microsoft tech, so I didn’t trust him at all. I just told him goodbye and ended the call straight away. Wouldn’t recommend believing these types.Microsoft10 yearsI got a call from 01962854071 claiming to be from Windows 10, saying there was an issue with my PC. When I told them I’m actually a police officer, they cut the call straight away. Pretty suspicious if you ask me.10 yearsNot sure who it is, but I just keep ringing them back till I block the number.10 yearsI tried ringing this number back but it didn’t come up on my phone, so I reckon it’s probably some kind of scam.Submit Your Own Report (01962 854071)
