Got a call from this number today claiming to be from EON, but I reckon it’s some kind of new scam going round.

So basically, they rang me saying there was an issue with my PC and told me to turn it on. After that, I got connected to their tech team (pretty sure it was the same bloke just changing his voice). He asked me to press some keys on the keyboard but when I said I was on an iPad, they dropped the call, haha! They’re just trying to grab your IP and login info, then sneak some virus or dodgy software onto your device. After that, they’ll try to charge you for ‘fixing’ it. Worst case, they might steal some personal info too.

An Indian lady rang me up saying there was a Microsoft issue with my computer and tried to convince me it was legit. I told her I was aware my computer had some problems, but I didn’t need their assistance since a family member sorts out my PC. So, I just ended the call. But then they rang again right away, so I quickly told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call again.

Today, an asian man phoned me claiming there was some issue with my windows. I told him my computer was fine and actually wasn’t even switched on at the time. He asked if I could turn it on, but I said I was a bit tied up right now. Then he wondered if he could ring me back later, and I agreed just so I could look into this number and see what’s what. He’s meant to call me again tomorrow evening, so I’ll be expecting his call.

Got a few calls from this number again today. Didn’t realise they were messing with an IT Tech like me. Put a report through to AF straight away.

I've been getting calls from this number saying my computer has some serious issues. They keep warning me that if I don’t follow their instructions, my computer will stop working for good. It's really annoying!

Had a mate tell 'em he’s got a Mac, then a couple days later they ring back saying there’s some kind of issue with it! What a laugh.

This just keeps going on... got a call from an Asian lady using the number 02031824568. I asked her, "don't you feel any guilt making calls like this?" and then she hung up on me.

on the 18th of july, which was a friday, i got this 2nd call about issues with my computer. i told them straight that it was a scam and just hung up.

A bloke rang me claiming to be from Microsoft, saying there was an issue with my computer. I played along, acting all worried and confused, begging for his assistance since I had no clue what was going on. After a few minutes of me messing about, he lost his patience and shouted at me to "go f*** yourself." I shot back a cheeky reply and he just hung up on me.

Just like everyone else here, I was shocked by what the bloke threatened to do to my sister! It's scary how many innocent folks they manage to trick these days.

Around 10:50 this morning, I got a call from a man with a strong Asian accent who said he was from some sort of global internet service centre. He told me there was a problem with the computer I was supposedly using right then. I told him I couldn’t imagine how he puts up with trying to trick people all day and that it must be pretty draining. Unsurprisingly, he ended the call quite quickly. I wish I had the time to mess about with these sorts of calls just to waste their time, but today wasn’t one of those days.

I usually say I’m using a MacBook, and that seems to stop them from calling back.

So, this bloke rang me up with a really rubbish connection, claiming there was some problem with my computer and that he was from Microsoft, promising to sort it out. I told him I hadn’t got any issues and then just ended the call. Besides, my laptop’s already at the shop getting fixed.

Yeah, pretty much the same here. I'd say just keep them talking as long as you can, but watch out because they can get really nasty with their words. No doubt, it's a total scam.

This number’s rung me three times today already (and it’s only late afternoon!). Same sort of deal each time - a strong Indian accent, with the caller saying they need to get into my computer. The calls all ended eventually, especially the last one which was cut off pretty sharp after I chuckled when he said his name was 'Paul Thompson' and asked what his real name actually was. Loads of sites like these are packed with people moaning about this number, and sadly some have even been scammed out of cash. Honestly, is there nothing that phone companies or the government can do about this? I’m seriously thinking of keeping a loud whistle by the phone for when they ring back.

As soon as I picked up I knew it was dodgy, some woman with an Indian accent coming from a sketchy number and speaking all quick and sharp like you get with these scams!

Having a solid background in PC support for a sizeable firm, I'm well-versed in the ins and outs of computers. Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to humour one of those blatant scam phone calls just to uncover their tactics and approach-though I made it a point not to follow any of their directives (very important, mind you!). *Whatever you do, steer clear of downloading any software when prompted by an unsolicited caller. *Be sure to check the advisory notices from Microsoft regarding support scams, as well as those found on the ammyy.com website about how their legitimate remote access tool is often misused by these fraudsters. These con artists will leverage any remote access software to harvest information from your device, aiming to either rope you into a subscription-based maintenance scheme (and in the process, snatch your credit card info) or potentially wreak havoc on your computer or laptop-particularly if you choose to opt out of their services. Their game plan is to either fabricate issues, blow problems way out of proportion, or even create chaos themselves, all to extort money for a dubious clean-up service that’s practically worthless, whether charged monthly or annually. CONSIDER THIS A WARNING. SPREAD THE WORD. I casually asked a few of my colleagues, and astonishingly, it seems that nearly everyone has been plagued by at least one, if not several, of these calls that are seemingly orchestrated from large call centres based in India.

This bloke said he was from MICROSOFT, but when I asked him which Windows version I’ve got, he just hung up. He keeps calling though, and he definitely comes across as a bit dodgy.

This bloke said he could sort out some Microsoft issue I had, but it just felt dodgy. I told him to give me a ring again in an hour so I could look up the number on Google first. Pretty obvious it was a scam though.

Got a call out the blue from the number listed, someone wanted to have a word about my Windows PC. I’m on the TPS list, so I told them to remove my details from their system. The person on the other end was quite hard to catch, sounded like they might have an Indian accent.

The other day, I received a phone call out of the blue.
