I don’t get why these scammers from Asia always pick English names. I just told them to multiply and get lost.

Got a call from a guy claiming to be from Microsoft, said my non-existent computer had a virus. I played along for a bit before telling him to get lost. I used 1471 to check the number, but does anyone know if there's a place to report these dodgy callers?

These numpties ringing me up about some problem with my PC, madam tete or whatever, what a joke. I just humoured them a bit, acting clueless, then told them off to bugger off and stop bothering me when they started their nonsense about getting cash. Absolute muppets, they ought to sort themselves out and find a proper job.

Got a call from some Asian bloke this morning claiming my PC was infected with a virus. I asked him where he got my number from and he said it came from the computer itself. I just told him to piss off, what a lying tosser. They really don’t deserve any respect. - caller: 0196451644

Got a ring from this number earlier today. It was a guy with an Asian accent telling me to hit Windows+R, which I knew was some kinda run command. I played along and kept him chatting for about 15 minutes before he suddenly dropped the call. What made me laugh was when I asked him to explain what a virus actually is - he went on about them bein' "tinny tiny" and "creeping into your machine". Haha, I reckon I'll be sure to scrub me hands properly after using my computer and grabbing some lunch, just to be safe!

This number rang me at 8:48 in the morning on 22nd Feb 2016. A man with an Asian accent said he was calling from Nirvarna and said he was with Microsoft. He told me my computer had a corrupt file and offered to sort it if I logged on. He asked for my name but I told him he should already know it since I supposedly had a Microsoft account. Somehow he got my last name right but mixed up the first initial. When I questioned why he needed my name, he said it was because I had a ‘sweet voice’ - that’s when I ended the call!

Today around 9:30 in the morning, this number rang me but as soon as I answered with a 'Hello' thrice, they just cut the call straight away. Big thanks to those who already pointed out what this number's about. - caller: 0196451644

I’ve noticed that when I try to use 1471 after getting calls from what look like UK numbers, it just says “number not recognised.” Seems like the callers, probably from India, are managing to mask their real number somehow. You’d think BT would have sorted this by now and block these calls automatically. I have a BT call blocker that’s meant to stop international calls, but these still manage to get past it. Honestly, someone at BT needs to do something about this.

At about 7.50 this morning, 17th of Feb, I got a call from the number 0196451644. It was an Asian man asking stuff about my computer, which I thought was strange as I dont have one. I cut the call straight away and told them not to bother calling back. Plus, my number is on the TPS list, so this call was clearly dodgy and breaking the rules. The caller ID was 0196451644.

Got a call just before 9 this morning from an Asian lady claiming to be with Windows support. She insisted there were loads of problems with my computer. I smelt something dodgy straight away, so I asked her what computer she meant. She replied with "The one you're on now." That was enough for me to just cut the call off.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was from Windows. She asked if I was the primary user of my PC. I asked her where she got my number, but she just kept asking who was the main user. I said it was me and insisted she tell me how she found my contact info. Then she told me to switch on my computer. I told her I wasn’t going to fall for some dodgy phone scam and again asked where they got my number. Suddenly a bloke came on, mumbled something I didn’t catch, then hung up. Seriously, are they daft enough not to hide their number? Haha!

This bloke rings up sayin he’s got a message from my computer about some trouble with my Windows. I asked where he was calling from, and he goes he’s from the Windows tech team. I reckon he meant Microsoft but just laughed it off with a “bye!” Honestly, it’s so obvious now, they don’t even try properly. Still, watch out cause it’s proper dodgy.

Got a call from someone claiming our computer was infected with a virus, but we don’t even have a computer! They wouldn't give a real number to ring back on either, just some dodgy one. The voice sounded Indian and you could hear a busy call centre in the background. Total scam.

Got a call earlier from this number, someone calling himself Kevin saying my computer was infected or something. I played along like I was checking my laptop, but after a bit he lost interest and just ended the call. Then he tried ringing back again, but this time from a foreign number, which I just ignored. Honestly, if we all stalled them like that, maybe they’d stop pestering us for good.

Loads of others mentioned the Asian lady claiming to be from Microsoft. I played along a bit, then finally asked what exactly is supposed to happen if I followed her instructions (knowing well it's a massive scam, no way I'd do it). She snapped back, "Can't you understand English? I've already told you!" That really got me riled up!

Some bloke rang me at sparrow’s fart this morning, about 7am. I asked if he could actually speak English properly, and he said yeah, sure he could. As if! I made him wait for about 10 minutes while I got my computer going, then I told him he could shove his product up himself if he turned up at mine. Guess what? He just hung up straight away.

Got a call from a bloke named "David," who had a noticeable Asian accent, warning me that my computer had been targeted by hackers. According to him, this was obvious because I use a Windows system. Of course, he couldn’t provide any personal details about me or my device. I didn’t even bother turning my computer on, just told him I wasn’t comfortable with his claims, and ended the call politely.

I got a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be a “Microsoft certified technical engineer” saying my PC was infected with some virus. I played along for a moment, then told her to wait while I fired up my computer, but instead I just left the phone off the hook for ages - made them waste their time and money.
