Today I got a call from this number claiming there was an issue with my PC. When I asked which company he was from, he said he was a certified Microsoft technician. I questioned if he actually worked for Microsoft and he replied that Microsoft don't ring folk up. I then asked the company name again but he kinda dodged the question.

He told me to press some keys on my keyboard and when a message popped up I told him what it said. It read "Don't listen to the man on the line, he's talking absolute rubbish."

He got a bit annoyed, said both our time was being wasted and insisted it wasn’t a scam. Then he wished me a good day and hung up.

Some bloke called himself Daniel Arnold from Online Technical Support, said it was the Head Office at 14 Hanover Street. Claimed there was an emergency alert from my main server warning about threats to my PC. He wasn’t trying to sell me anything or ask for my details, said Microsoft automatically flags errors and they fix them. His whole purpose was to assist me. I humoured him for a while. He told me to hit the Windows key and ‘R’ together, then type eventvwr in the pop-up window. He had me check Custom Views in Event Viewer, then pick Admin Events from a dropdown menu, and he pointed out there were 19,372 errors showing. Claimed he’d help me fix these before they wrecked my computer. Then he asked me to enter www.teamviewer.com in the Run box. When I googled that, it’s for giving remote access to any machine or server. Looked up the phone number too and found loads of folks sharing stories exposing this as a classic scam... Haha. Trust me, avoid it like the plague!

I got a phone call from this number, and some woman with an accent I couldn’t place was trying to talk about my Windows PC. I just told her it was nonsense and that I’m on the TPS list. She didn’t waste any time and just ended the call. Who do these people think they are anyway?

Got a ring from a bloke speaking with a Filipino accent claiming my computer had issues. I told him my PC was fine and that I recognised he was trying to scam me. Despite that, he kept insisting it wasn’t a scam. I told him to get lost and warned I’d notify the cops about him, then he hung up straight away.

Got a call from a bloke speaking with a thick Indian accent saying my windows PC was acting up or something. He went on and on for about 10 minutes, telling me to "press this key, press that key..." Eventually, I said I didn't actually own a computer but had a nice time chatting to a ‘phone mate’ for a bit. I joked if he might ring me again sometime and that sometimes I’d play the lad and he could be the lass... Things went quiet for a bit and then he just ended the call.

They tried to pull that classic “your computer’s got a problem” nonsense on me. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

Got a call from this number just now. Didn’t pick up since the digits looked dodgy - definitely more than a usual phone number. Decided to google it and found out it's linked to one of those computer scams. I remember dealing with a similar call a couple years back, before I even owned a computer. Had a bit of fun wasting their time for around 15 minutes, getting them to say it was my personal machine they were trying to fix. Eventually, I told them it was a scam because I didn’t actually have a computer at home, and then I hung up. Not sure if this recent ring was from the same lot, as I never answered this time due to the obviously fake number.

Whenever we answer the phone with “PRISON here, who’re you asking for?” they quickly put the phone down.

Just another load of codswallop regarding tech support, and a rather alarming heads-up that our device might topple over any second now. It's all just a massive swindle!

Got a call from this number today, someone claiming there was an issue with my computer. I couldn’t help but chuckle for a bit before telling her I felt sorry she had to stick with that kind of work and wished her luck in finding something better.

I got a call from some bloke with a thick Indian accent saying there was an issue with my PC. When I joked, "Oh, so now you're after my banking info then?" he got a bit mouthy. I told him I knew exactly what this was about, but he kept insisting it was legit and I just had to enter some stuff on my computer. That’s when I decided to just end the call.

This woman rang me out of the blue, saying "Hi, I'm Angelina and I'm calling about your computer." I told her straight up she was a scammer and told her to get lost. She shot back with "same to you" before hanging up. Honestly, these scam artists really ought to be cracked down on!

Got one of those tech support fraud calls again. I told them straight up, “my computer’s fine, so piss off you scammers.” Bit harsh, maybe, but they rang at the worst moment for me, haha.

Got a call from someone claiming there was a problem inside my computer. They said they'd fix it if I followed their steps and typed stuff in. I just hung up, no way I was doing that.
