7 yearsShe claimed she was from Microsoft but honestly, I'm fed up with these annoying calls. Hung up straight away and not picking up again.Microsoft7 yearsGot a call from 01983526168 claiming to be Microsoft, saying my PC was under attack. I wasn’t having any of it and told them it sounded dodgy, besides if it was really Microsoft, I’d call them back myself. So then I searched for the legit Microsoft support number and called them directly. They confirmed two things: they never call customers out of the blue, and they can’t actually see if your computer’s been hacked. I’ve gone ahead and reported the number through their official support like they recommended. Definitely a scam number, don’t trust it!Microsoft7 yearsGot another call like 6 minutes after the first one, proper scammers those lot are.7 yearsI got a call from some bloke claiming my Microsoft account was being used without permission. Then he said he worked for BT. I told him if he was really from BT, to send me an email. The cheeky git asked for my email anyway, so I gave him a bit of a telling off and told him to jog on.MicrosoftBT7 yearsGot a call at 8:18am and no one spoke.
