Called our number, and the moment we answered, all we got was a complete silence on the other end. Quite baffling, really!

Called at 12:20 in the afternoon. One must wonder if they’re either incredibly bored or feeling a bit isolated. It’s high time they pursued a more fulfilling existence. It's quite odd how they seem to dial the same numbers at around the same hour every evening, isn't it?

I received a call from someone who claimed to be from PC Wizard, warning me that my computer supposedly had a virus according to their ‘protocol’ or something along those lines. Given that I have top-notch antivirus software installed, I can’t help but wonder if this was just a ruse to try and sell me some dodgy antivirus programme. I’ve even had a word with AOL about it, and they’re on the same page as me.

The phone rang at one in the morning, jolting us out of sleep, yet there was nothing but eerie silence on the other end. Feels rather dubious to me. I thought I'd been taken off the list.

I’ve just hung up the phone as they were trying to access my computer while we were chatting. My advice? Disconnect your Wi-Fi router and let it be for around half an hour. Make sure to share this info with others!

I received a phone call from someone trying to alert me about a so-called serious virus threat that was supposedly being unleashed, urging me to safeguard my computer. However, as a tech engineer myself, I can confidently say they dialled the wrong number!

I received a rather dubious phone call from someone claiming to be a technician. They insisted that my computer was infected with a virus and that I needed to pay for their services to sort it out. Sceptical, I declined and asked them to ring me back, during which I requested their company’s contact details. The name they gave me was Vlad, along with a supposed website and phone number. However, upon looking it up, I discovered it belonged to an American firm. Now I'm left wondering if they’re genuinely who they claim to be!

A colleague of ours received a call claiming that my computer's hard drive was corrupted and that an error message had been sent off to Microsoft. The caller insisted that they needed access to my device in order to provide further assistance and offered their guidance. When he inquired about the account holder's identity, she could only disclose our last name. He asked if they could contact us again later, as we were at home, but since then, we've heard absolutely nothing more. Quite bewildering, really!

This number seems to be a common one, constantly ringing us in search of a Mr Mallen. We've been residing at our home for a decade and can assure you that no one with that name has ever lived here. The callers insist they need to discuss something with the person who pays the phone bill. We've made it abundantly clear that if they wish to communicate with us, they ought to acknowledge our name instead. A chap with a foreign accent claimed it was essential for the lady to have a word with us about our residence. However, we often find ourselves hanging up, as sometimes we’re met with nothing but dead air the moment we answer.

It appears that they are currently hiring highly skilled staff, as evidenced by a recent call I received from them regarding my washing machine. During the conversation, I mentioned that my machine was the oldest model on their list, having been in use for 50 years. Responding to this, the caller (who I would hesitate to refer to as a gentleman) rudely told me to "go away" (apologies for repeating such language). When I sought clarification on his comment, he repeated the offensive remark before abruptly ending the call. This leaves quite an impression of their company, doesn't it?

Today, I received three calls from the same number. The first time, my husband picked up but the person on the other end remained silent. On the second call, my husband answered again and they specifically asked to speak with me. I informed them that my number was registered with the TPS (Telephone Preference Service) and inquired about where they obtained my number. The caller assured us that they would remove it from their list. However, much to my surprise, they called for the third time. This time, I answered the call and once again they asked for me by name. The caller claimed to be conducting a survey about washing machines. Frustrated, I reminded them that this was the third call received today and reiterated that my number was protected by the TPS. Without any further ado, the caller promptly hung up the call.

Over the past few days, I received several calls from the same number. When I picked up, there was silence on the other end. Today, I answered again and a gentleman with an Asian accent introduced himself as someone conducting a survey. He specifically inquired about the brand of my washing machine. It's important to note that I am not listed in any public directories, yet this person somehow knew my phone number, name, and address. Is there cause for concern on my part?

I believe the fraud team should thoroughly investigate this matter. It is concerning what these people are doing and why they are doing it. There is another claim circulating, stating that you can obtain 40% of your electricity by purchasing a plug-in device. When I inquired about this with my electricity provider, I was informed that EDF had no knowledge of such a promotion. I spoke to an elderly woman who had bought one of these devices, and she warned me that they are untested and have resulted in electric shocks and house fires for some of her friends. Please be cautious and do not fall into this trap, as these devices could be dangerous. Their price of £79 may seem like a good deal if they truly save you 40% on your electricity, but they are hazardous and ineffective. I have already reported this to the fraud team, and they recommended that every time someone receives a call like this, they should threaten the caller and inform them that the police have been notified.

I recently received a phone call and when I decided to google the phone number, an interesting result popped up. How convenient! During the call, a gentleman with an Asian accent inquired about the brand and age of my washing machine. He even requested that I confirm my personal information such as my name and address. Although I was hesitant, I eventually complied and answered his questions. However, I am now feeling apprehensive about the potential consequences of sharing this information.

This company is incredibly frustrating, as they keep changing their approach. I have already made around 300 phone calls to them, and now they are asking me about unrelated topics such as washing machines and Sky. I have already filed a complaint with their head office in New York State. They have been deceiving people by charging an annual fee of approximately £150 for supposedly keeping their computers safe from viruses and other issues. It is worth noting that while they claim to have an office address and phone number in London, their call centre is actually located in India. Furthermore, they are operating under different names in the UK, USA, and Australia.

Upon arriving at home, I discovered that I had two missed calls and two messages from a particular phone number. These calls were made on a Saturday afternoon, so I wasn't anticipating them to be sales calls. Curious, I decided to listen to the messages. To my surprise, all I could hear was a voice repeatedly saying "Hello" before abruptly ending the call each time. The first call was made by the number 0044 2030 266 482 at 17:43, while the second call came from 02030 266 482 at 19:00.

On 19th July at 14:30, I received a "cold" call that immediately raised my suspicions. The caller, an Asian man from the IT department of "BT Connect," claimed that my PC had downloaded malicious software that my anti-virus couldn't handle. However, when I probed for more information, he started to backtrack and admitted that there was a possibility of malware being present. He unsuccessfully tried to persuade me to switch on my PC so that he could show me the extent of the problem and offer his supposedly free "wonder service" to fix it, which made me even more skeptical since I know that BT doesn't provide anything for free. This caller was quite talkative and used the usual nonsense that telemarketers often resort to, such as making assumptions about what I already knew. Needless to say, he didn't succeed in his intentions. I'm sharing this experience as a word of caution to everyone out there.

I recently received a phone call from someone named "John" who had a strong Indian accent. He addressed me by my first name and asked about the brand of my television, specifically if I owned a Sony or Panasonic TV. I was intrigued and raised the question of how he acquired my phone number since it is not publicly listed (ex-directory). Surprisingly, he claimed to have obtained it from a "National directory" he had access to. What shocked me further was that he even knew my address! Skeptical about the situation, I chose not to answer his questions and instead insisted on having my details deleted from their database. Not wanting to give up so easily, I decided to waste their time by prolonging the conversation while keeping the call on speakerphone so I could multitask. Eventually, after consuming a considerable amount of their time, he made the decision to end the call.

I received a phone call from my wife informing me that our computer's hard drive was corrupted and that an error message had been sent to Microsoft. The individual on the call requested her to turn on the computer and follow his instructions. Suspicious of the situation, my wife inquired about the name of the account holder for this service. To her surprise, the person could only provide my surname. Sensing something amiss, she asked him to call back later when I returned home. However, we have not heard from him since then.
