So, "Alvin" has just returned the call. After we discussed scams and security matters, he seemed to get rather flustered. My husband, in his no-nonsense approach, told him to "do one", urged him to stop spouting nonsense, and firmly requested he not ring this number again! I can't help but wonder if that will deter him or if we'll hear from him again in the future.

This is the 9th time they’ve called me this week, I just leave the phone by the shredder at work till they give up. Hats off to 02 for passing my contract number on to third parties.

Someone called saying there was an issue with my Microsoft Windows, but I told them I use an Apple Mac. Then they claimed there was a problem with that as well and told me to call this number. They wouldn't say how they even got my details.

Some bloke called me Ronny William or something like that and said he was from mt652. He started deleting stuff off my laptop when I refused to give him my sort code and bank details. Before that, I’d already given him my full card number, expiry and the three digits to pay £10 for some supposed virus clean-up. He seemed real clever but still kept shouting at me even though I was upset and nearly in tears!

Oh, I just received a similar call! I told the chap to ring me again in about an hour. Can’t wait to have a bit of a laugh with this one! 😏🎉

I recently encountered a rather dubious con claiming to be from Microsoft, insisting that my computer was infected with a virus. They were attempting to lure me into clicking a link to a site ending in .tk, supposedly to assist with 'technical support'. When I hesitated, they pushed for me to connect through a remote desktop option. It felt like they wanted to seize control of my machine and, from what I gathered, would then attempt to extort between £10 and £20 under the guise of removing these so-called viruses at the end of the call. Naturally, I declined to follow their instructions, and then they escalated the situation by transferring me to a supposed supervisor. This individual, introducing himself as "Sam Williams", claimed he was phoning from Africa and spoke of a 'new' scam in which callers would incur charges. I have my doubts about their legitimacy. My advice? Keep your guard up and never allow strangers to access your computer.

I dialled 1471 and got the number 01483671734.

I've received numerous calls from a chap named Brian Watson, along with other folks, using this number. Each time I answered, I ended up hanging up, especially when I mentioned involving the police. They claimed to be calling from London, which is quite dubious if you ask me! One particularly unnerving claim was that they intended to 'block' my computer... honestly, the whole thing is rather preposterous!

I just had a rather unsettling phone call from someone claiming to be David Miller, who then handed me over to a chap named James Fernandes. Both insisted they were affiliated with Microsoft. They asserted that my laptop had been compromised and attempted to elucidate their reasoning behind this alarming news. I must say, it sparked quite a bit of discomfort, and my husband promptly advised me to terminate the conversation, suggesting it sounded suspiciously like a scam. They kept ringing back, but I eventually told them I had to dash off to the hospital, which finally silenced them.

Someone said they were from microsoft, telling me hackers were on my computer right now. They said they’d call me back and wanted me to wait while using my mobile. I put the phone down and then they kept calling from a 0161 number, saying they were from Reading. Then a rude woman asked why I kept hanging up on her. Watch out, these are definitely scammers.

Today at 4:20 PM, I got a rather peculiar call from a number, 01183289963. The caller introduced herself as Sophie Jones, though her accent raised a few eyebrows for me. She started on about how my computer was being infiltrated by hackers from China. I had to set the record straight and informed her I don’t even own a computer! However, she insisted otherwise and we exchanged pleasantries in a bit of an argument. Then, she requested that I return her call and provided a different number: 02032393351. Quite the odd encounter, I must say!

I've just received a rather alarming call from a chap named Michael Fernandez using this number. He insisted that I visit a specific website, claiming that if I failed to do so, my computer would be shut down in ten minutes due to a hacking attempt. He identified himself as being with Techworld America. Quite concerning, to say the least!

I've had conversations with David Miller and several other individuals from the number 02032393351, but now it appears they're not answering my calls. It's crucial that they get in touch with me soon.

This person said they were from Microsoft and was really pushy. Microsoft would never call you out of the blue like that. They threatened to block my IP because apparently I had a virus messing with the network. This number must be linked to scammers. Why hasn’t it been blocked yet?

I keep receiving calls from a blocked number, with the caller claiming to represent Microsoft. When I requested their contact number to make a note for our discussions about these fraudsters, they didn’t oblige!

I received a rather peculiar call from a chap named "Frank Williams," who sported a distinct Indian accent claiming to represent Microsoft Support. The call came through with a withheld number, so naturally, I inquired about the number he was using. He mentioned a London number, 020 3239 3351. When I probed for an address, he mentioned Cardinal Street, London SW1E 5JL - which, as it turns out, isn’t even a real place. I decided to humour him for a bit, but the call eventually dropped as he grew a tad suspicious. I dialled back, but they insisted they'd reach me again on another line. Before long, I received another call (once again from a withheld number) and continued my conversation with "Frank." He started the usual scare tactics, asking me to pull up the eventvwr program, which he claimed was filled with alarming "errors" threatening to crash the internet or some such nonsense, demanding immediate attention. Then, I found myself speaking with "David Miller," a so-called "Microsoft Senior Supervisor," who wanted me to run some executable via Internet Explorer. At that point, I firmly refused and called him out as a scammer. I told him to stop calling me daily; this enraged him, and he unleashed a torrent of vulgarities and threats. I implore anyone to steer clear of calls from this number-it's exceedingly dodgy business.

I just had a call from 0203 239 3351, where a chap with an Indian accent claimed to represent the Microsoft Support Centre in London. He insisted that my Apple iMac was riddled with perilous viruses and that they were sending me daily alerts regarding this issue. Oddly enough, he offered to help me locate and eradicate these supposed viruses. The thing is, I don't even use Microsoft software on my device, and it's quite rare for Apple computers to be afflicted by such viruses. If you pop that number into Google and search for "I keep getting calls from Microsoft Support," you'll find a plethora of folks who have encountered the same dubious call. Clearly, this is a scam. Best wishes, Nick

My mother fell victim to a scammer yesterday, a bloke calling himself Peter Frank and purporting to be from Microsoft. He had the audacity to say that over 7,000 individuals had compromised our laptop! He’s already rung her six times today, and he even had the nerve to threaten both me and my mum. Honestly, it’s infuriating! This kind of nonsense needs to come to an end, especially given the number of people he’s likely duped. It’s utterly disgraceful!

I received a call at 7:40 in the morning, where a chap claimed that my computer had been compromised and was allegedly being utilised for nefarious activities. He mentioned ID numbers, but I’m well aware that sharing such details is a no-go, as it could put my computer at risk. Frankly, I’m absolutely miffed, especially considering I’d only just settled down for a brief snooze after a long shift! The caller provided me with a phone number and an address located in Victoria Street, Cardinal Place, London, though inexplicably without a postcode. Apparently, I was meant to be transferred to a supervisor, but I didn't stick around for that nonsense and promptly hung up. To my annoyance, they rang me again almost immediately, reiterating the same spiel. There's no way I was turning on my computer after they had so rudely roused me from my slumber-I was decidedly fed up!

Had a rather dodgy phone call earlier on. Some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft asked me to fire up my computer. He went by the name of Steve Wilson and had a distinct African accent. Just a heads-up to everyone out there!

They rang me up three times this morning, first one at 3:34am, can you believe it, last one was at 7:53am. An Asian bloke claiming to be from Microsoft said there was an issue with my computer. When I asked which computer he meant, he just said the one I was using right then. I told him my computer runs Linux and doesn’t have any Microsoft software on it, and he got proper rude real quick. Don’t answer them anymore, number’s blocked now.

Just like others have mentioned, I had a rather cheeky call from a woman claiming to represent Microsoft. When I told her my number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service, she audaciously suggested that to avoid these calls, I ought to ditch my computer altogether! Quite the response!

I'm absolutely fed up with this number constantly ringing me. It always pops up on my caller ID, so I never pick up, and they never bother to leave a voicemail!

Today, I received a rather dodgy call from a chap named Jay claiming to be from Microsoft, insisting that my PC had been compromised. It appears I've fallen victim to the same scam that others have encountered. I noted down his number, telling him I'd ring him back - but let's be honest, that's not going to happen!

I received a rather peculiar call from this number earlier today; they claimed to be from Microsoft, asserting that my computer had been compromised! I decided to humour them and just nodded along, responding with 'Yes' to everything they proposed. When they probed me to power up my computer, I simply replied with 'Oh yes'. They then inquired about my age, and once again, I answered with a cheery 'Yes'. This seemed to irk the caller rather significantly, as they explosively remarked, “You must be a right nutter!” and repeated their question about my age. I just kept saying 'Yes' and lo and behold, they hung up in a huff! I truly believe they focus their efforts on those who might be more susceptible. Normally, I’d just cut the line or threaten them with a fine for such unsolicited calls, but I thought it might be amusing to see how they would react to my little game. As you can see, they were obviously quite put out!

Today, I’ve had about three calls, and I can’t even count how many more I’ve had on different days. I use caller ID, so I only pick up when I see a familiar number. This particular number never leaves a voicemail, and I’m hesitant to answer in case I end up with some unexpected charges. At the age of 73, I’m quite fed up with these bothersome calls!

Got a call from this number claiming to be Microsoft. They said my PC was full of nasty viruses and they could sort it out. I told them I don’t even have a computer, but they called me a fibber. I told them again I don’t own one, but if they ring Cash Converters, they might find a few!

Someone with an African accent called, said they were from Microsoft and my PC was compromised. I asked which branch and he said London, but when I pressed for more details he just gave some nonsense answer. I told him I used to work in Microsoft support, and then he had the cheek to ask what my package was!! Got fed up, told him to stop scamming folks and hung up.

They keep ringing me like 3 or 4 times every day.

I keep receiving calls, typically three or four times a week, from folks claiming to be from "Microsoft Corporation" based in the UK, who insist they're there to resolve some Windows error notifications they've supposedly picked up from my device. The thing is, my computer's actually turned off, and the laptop I use for work is secured by my employer. I've taken to engaging them in conversation for as long as I can before letting them know I'm onto their little scam. The last caller was particularly adamant, claiming that "Microsoft" would lock my computer, just before he abruptly ended the call!

Phone goes dead as soon as I pick up, shame as I would’ve liked a chat. We just block any calls from 020 (London) now.

When I picked up, there was just silence on the line.

Got a call from 02032393351 saying they were Microsoft. When I didn’t play along, they started saying they’d cancel my Microsoft user licence. Total scam.

I got a dodgy call earlier from a chap named Brian who claimed that my computer's been compromised. He then ominously warned me that I'd incur charges for not providing him with any details. I've since blocked the number and wish nothing but the worst for Brian-maybe an extended bout of stomach upset would do the trick!

Having the exact same issue here. Already told Microsoft about it. Definitely a huge scam going on.

I just received a rather suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my computer had been compromised! They seemed quite frustrated when I didn’t follow their instructions. They went on about knowing my IP address and someone allegedly misusing it for nefarious purposes. I was incredibly sceptical, so I decided to hang up.

I had an unwelcome call from a man claiming to be Mr. David Smith (as if!) who insisted that there was an issue with my computer. He urged me to turn it on, promising he could assist me in resolving the problem. Allegedly from Microsoft (right...), he said only he had the ability to fix this for me. Honestly, it’s a blatant scam that gives them the chance to take control of your computer, potentially gaining access to your banking information and personal details. Please steer clear of this sort of nonsense! It’s already been highlighted on shows like Watchdog and various morning programmes. Stay vigilant out there!

I've come across similar accounts from others, and it’s evident that this is a total scam. This chap, David, had the audacity to provide me with a supposed licence number for my computer, claiming only "authentic" Microsoft would know such a thing. He insisted that I hand over my laptop so he could point out all the so-called corrupt files and guide me through the repair process. I told him I would reach out to the contact number he provided to verify its authenticity before permitting him to assist me. It’s quite disheartening to think that some individuals might actually fall for this ruse. From what I've gathered through various programmes like Watchdog, they don’t seem to have many effective measures in place, apart from spreading awareness. Honestly, Mr David Smith ought to find himself a legitimate job rather than swindling vulnerable individuals out of their hard-earned cash.

Received a call supposedly from the Technical Team at Microsoft, purporting to discuss an issue with my computer. I swiftly cut them off, as I’m well aware that Microsoft doesn’t engage in unsolicited phone calls.

Received a phone call from someone purporting to be from the Microsoft Windows assistance team, insisting they needed permission to access my computer to resolve an issue.

I can relate entirely to the experience mentioned by Jist earlier. I reached out to Microsoft directly, and they verified that it was indeed a scam. When the 001222 number returned my call, I informed them of my conversation with Microsoft and stated that I was aware of their deceitful intentions. They initially tried to refute it, but then they burst into laughter and admitted the truth. To my surprise, the caller said he’d ring me up to 12 times a day, starting from 7 in the morning. And guess what? The calls have yet to cease!

Today, I received a call dated 17/02/2016 from this number, but it displayed as International on my mobile. Naturally, I requested their number. It's clearly a computer scam. Like many of these nuisance calls, they claimed there was someone attempting to access my computer, urging me to power it up so they could assist me. I firmly told them it was a scam and that they could take a hike. When I pressed them for specifics about the computer they mentioned, they merely stated it pertained to my internet connection. It's a blatant con since I don’t even possess a Windows computer!
