The scammers frequently provide fake licence or ID numbers and insist on urgent action, aiming to deceive recipients into giving access or payment. Users strongly advise ignoring calls, refusing to share information, and reporting to authorities. Telephone companies and regulators are urged to take firm action to curb these nuisance calls and protect consumers.

Received a call three times at the crack of dawn on a Sunday! Instantly recognised it as one of those pesky scams regarding Windows PCs. The caller had a strong Asian accent and was rather impolite. The moment I mentioned that I didn't possess a Windows PC and solely used Apple Macs, she abruptly ended the call. Classic!

I keep receiving persistent nuisance calls claiming my computer is infected with some bug or another. It’s absolutely infuriating! They hang up the moment I mention that I don’t even possess a computer. It’s becoming a regular occurrence. The latest caller even threatened to block my Microsoft account. Whatever happened to a bit of peace?

I've been getting some rather persistent calls lately claiming my computer is in peril. They've rung me three times now, but I've chosen to let it go to voicemail each time. Thankfully, the calls seem to have halted for the moment, but they’ve been bothering me every evening this week.

I've had loads of calls from someone saying my computer’s been hacked and I need to use a new Windows account or something. I told them I thought it was a scam and mentioned they said they were calling from Texas, but the number showed an 020 London code! The bloke just hung up straight away. Since then, they've rung me at least five times in the last day, but I’m just not answering. It’s so frustrating having to deal with these dodgy people, hope they get bored and stop soon!

Got a call from some Indian guy with a right attitude, saying he was from midas touch tech or summat. He kept phoning over and over, proper annoying. When I told him off, he cheekily said I should’ve gone to school and learned to listen. What a git! Phone firms really ought to do something about these tossers wasting our time.

I've had the misfortune of getting three calls from this number today. When I picked up, there was an Asian woman on the other end, her Indian accent quite pronounced. I made it clear to her that I was well aware this was a scam and that she certainly wasn’t representing Windows Support. It seems like this charade has been running rampant for ages, and they seem to believe they're untouchable by any legal means; it’s frustrating, to say the least. Is there really no way to trace this number back to them?

For the past few months, I was under the impression that those 'Microsoft' callers had been put behind bars! I often let them have it, giving a right stern lecture and firmly advising them to never ring me again. A couple of weeks back, the accent sounded distinctly Indian or Pakistani - it was quite apparent they were operating from some sort of call centre. They seem to favour calling me around 11 in the morning nowadays. Interestingly, now that he’s familiar with my voice, he tends to cut the call short. Previously, their antics would happen around 5:30ish or during the traditional tea time. Regardless of whether they’re on about tech or some charity, I don’t mince my words; I swiftly cut them off with a firm "I'm not interested!"

Got two rings from this number around half past four in the afternoon, London time. The callers said they were from the Windows Security Centre and warned me that my computer was compromised. They went on about fixing my Windows ID by supplying a supposedly secure new one. I played along for a bit until they asked me to login to some Weebly site, which I reckon was a trick to install malware or something dodgy. I ended the call there. No way they’re legit Microsoft reps, this feels like a scam with bad intentions for sure.

I had a barrage of calls today, 18th January 2016, from some bloke who simply wouldn’t take a hint. I repeatedly told him to clear off, but he carried on regardless. In the end, I just set the phone down and let him ramble on to himself for a bit. Once I finally got around to looking up the number, I found loads of others have had the same annoying experience. What a right nuisance!

This morning was a right nuisance, as I got three calls from an insistent Asian woman claiming that my computer had been compromised. She went on about some long string of numbers and threatened that my device would be locked if I didn’t comply with her instructions. She mentioned she was phoning from Microsoft. Eventually, I ended the call, but she tried to ring me back-though I didn’t pick up that time. I made a note of the number and looked it up, only to discover that others have had similar experiences with this lot before.

I received a dodgy call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft around 8.30 this evening. The chap had an Asian accent and turned quite snarky when he figured out I wasn’t falling for his ruse. In a rather unpleasant tone, he even asked his associates to applaud me for figuring things out! I've gone ahead and reported this to the ICO and would recommend that others do the same.

This number is definitely up to no good, claiming that my computer has been compromised by nefarious individuals. I'm utterly exasperated by the constant barrage of calls from this lot! The moment I mention that their dodgy schemes are being exposed online, they turn quite nasty. Yet, that doesn't deter them from attempting to ring me again and again. It's incredibly frustrating!

On the 10th of December 2015, I received a call from this number. I informed the woman on the line that she was quite mistaken about my computer type. She rather aggressively insisted, 'Don’t fib to me, I can tell you’ve got a Windows machine, and if you’re not truthful, we’ll prevent you from accessing our services.' I simply replied that she should feel free to block me. After that, she abruptly terminated the call, and I subsequently decided to block her number myself.

This morning, I fell prey to a group of con artists who rattled off a tedious script, echoing the complaints of others I've heard about. To my shock, they seemed to gain access to my computer using something bizarre called 'syskey.' In the end, they demanded a hefty £198, which was the moment the penny dropped - they were clearly scammers. When I flat-out refused, the woman on the line turned quite aggressive, accusing me of being the hacker simply because I wouldn’t play ball. They left my computer in a bit of a state, forcing me to use the repair option and roll it back to an earlier point in time. It seems to be functioning properly now. Does anyone know if there’s a likelihood they may have snaffled any sensitive information while they were lurking around?

On a rather mundane Friday afternoon, specifically the 27th of November in 2015, I found myself on the receiving end of a phone call from what I assumed was an Asian woman. Given my frequent encounters with such unsolicited calls, I didn’t hesitate to slam the receiver down. Almost instantly, the same lady rang me again, admonishing me for having hung up. I promptly told her that the call was unwelcome and that we were done with the conversation, though I did hear her mention something about scammers trying to get into my computer and the like. I went back to my previous tasks, thinking that would be the end of it. Yet, lo and behold, the same hard-nosed woman decided to ring me once more. I had barely grasped the phone before it met its fate quite dramatically on the table!

Got a call from some bloke who sounded Asian and actually knew my name. Missed the first ring, but picked up the next one. He started talking about "Windows" or something, but I just told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call.

This morning, I was bombarded with five phone calls from this number. The woman on the other end was incredibly insistent, warning me that my computer would be locked if I ignored her.

Eventually, we decided to let it go to voicemail, and thankfully, that seemed to put an end to her relentless calling.

At the age of 85, I’ve experienced my fair share of challenges, but today took the biscuit. Just this morning at around 9:45, I received a call directed to my late husband, who sadly passed away more than two years ago. I firmly told the caller he’s no longer with us, yet she kept pushing, inquiring whether anyone with his name happened to possess a computer. I couldn’t help but feel a wave of distress wash over me; he never grasped the concept of technology, let alone owned one. Is there any way to put an end to these intrusive calls? They're quite upsetting, to say the least.

I've had these lot ring me up five times just today. The first caller was a woman, and when I said I wasn’t bothered, she started shouting at me through the phone. Then this evening, a man got on the line and was proper rude after I told him I don’t own a computer. I told him straight it seemed like a scam, and he began yelling about my computer being at risk. If they call again, I'm seriously thinking of blowing a whistle right down the phone!

Received a rather dodgy call from an individual claiming to be from Windows Support, who insisted that my licence number had been compromised by nefarious characters. He then proceeded to provide me with a code, demanding I input it into my computer, which I flatly refused to do. Eventually, I mentioned that I was recording the conversation and that the call was traceable. Surprisingly, this didn't seem to bother him in the slightest! I ended up just leaving the phone off to the side, maintaining the connection, until they got bored and hung up on me. It's all well and good to report these incidents, but does anyone actually take action on them?

I received a rather alarming call yesterday-an extremely aggressive woman claimed that my Windows network had been compromised by a nefarious group. She insisted that she required access to my computer to resolve the issue. When I informed her that my computer was on the fritz and I’d disposed of it, she went on about how my network was still operational and threatened to cut it off. At that point, I decided it was best to terminate the call. Remarkably, the same number tried reaching me again shortly thereafter, and now they’ve rung five times this morning. I really do wonder how the phone companies haven't managed to put a stop to this bothersome harassment.

Got a call from someone saying there was an issue with a computer, but my elderly mum who's just lost her partner hasn't got a computer at all. They kept ringing back straight away even after I told them not to call again. The caller got quite rude and gave me a local phone number to ring, which I did. Turns out, that number belonged to a local woman who said she'd had about six calls earlier that hour about the same 'computer problem'. Please pass this on to the right team. I managed to record the call made at 7.43pm using my mobile's voicemail.

What a right palaver this all is! They presented their case as if it was gospel for those who are none the wiser, claiming they had some exclusive code from my computer-which, as it turns out, is a universal one for all. Luckily, I’ve got a bit of common sense and declined to engage. I asked for a number to ring back at my leisure, and they provided 1872 438034 (don't forget the pesky 44 at the front). That was their undoing! I quickly did a lookup on my mobile, and blimey, the actual number was 02033180712! Truly laughable, but I do worry that there are some older folks who might fall for these dodgy scams.

I had a rather distressing experience with a persistent caller claiming there was an issue with a computer. This was particularly unsettling as my elderly mother, who has only just lost a loved one, doesn’t even own a computer! After I asked them to refrain from calling our house number again, they continued to ring, very much against my wishes. The caller's tone took an unpleasant turn, and they handed over a local contact number when I pressed them for more information. When I rang the number they provided, I learned it belonged to an unfortunate local woman who had already been inundated with around half a dozen similar calls regarding this so-called computer problem, all within the last hour! I would appreciate it if this could be escalated to the relevant department. Thankfully, I managed to capture the call from 19:43 on my voicemail, which could serve as further evidence.

I received a phone call from a person claiming there was an issue with a computer, which is rather amusing as my elderly mother, who has recently passed away, never owned a computer in her home. Despite my request for them to refrain from calling again, they persisted in ringing back. It escalated to a rather unpleasant exchange, whereupon I was given a local number to reach out to, which I did. To my surprise, it turned out to belong to a local woman who had also been inundated with six similar calls regarding this supposed computer problem within the last hour. Her number is 01290 425705. Please ensure this message reaches the correct department. Luckily, I managed to record the call that occurred at 19:43 on my mobile voicemail. The caller identified themselves as "Alex Craig."

I’ve recently encountered a similar situation as mentioned earlier - a crucial detail is that the postcode provided appears to be in the wrong format, which certainly raises suspicions of a scam. Furthermore, from what I know, Microsoft doesn’t seem to have any major secure server facilities in London, so it’s evident that any system claiming that would need to be extremely secure!

So this woman with an Asian accent rang me up, talking super fast and saying her name was Sheryl Parker. When I asked what company she was from, she said "Midas CC Touch" and gave me the number 02033180712. She claimed my computer was being hacked by cyber criminals and they’d shut it down for good in half an hour. I told her I’d ring back on that number, but she insisted that if I didn’t, she’d be back on the line in 5 minutes. She also mentioned some computer ID like 888DCA60. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam.

I had a rather unsettling encounter that echoes the accounts mentioned by others. The chap on the other end was quite menacing, attempting to rattle me with all sorts of bluster about shutting down my computer, which I found rather ridiculous. When I inquired about his location, he nonchalantly claimed to be from 'Dar-London'. His comments regarding the name linked to my computer made it painfully clear he'd unearth my number from the directory. After hanging up on him once, he had the audacity to ring me again, but I stood my ground and ignored his demands. Fortunately, he didn't bother me again after that.

I've received a couple of calls from this number today, both featuring quite heavy Asian accents. The first was from a woman, and the second, just moments ago, was a gentleman claiming that my driving licence number had been compromised. I decided to have a bit of fun and told him my brother-in-law, who just so happens to work at Microsoft, was right there with me and would like to have a word. He replied with an eager "by all means." When I mentioned that my laptop had been out of commission for the past three years, he then inquired if I owned an iPad, to which I responded negatively. After that, the line went completely silent. I'd say this is definitely dodgy behaviour!

Received a call earlier, and the woman on the line rattled on about various things while urging me to comply with her instructions. I was a bit bored at the time, so I just played along for a while, but eventually, I ran out of steam. I ended up calling it a scam and expressed my desire to have strung her along a bit longer for the fun of it. She got rather huffy, claiming she’d report me to the authorities before slamming the phone down.

I found myself bombarded by this relentless caller, who just wouldn't take a hint. After hanging up on them three separate occasions, they carried on ringing, leaving my phone to buzz for what felt like an eternity. And if I didn’t pick up, they’d just call again, only to hang up as soon as I did. It’s utterly baffling why such individuals aren’t held accountable for their behaviour. This kind of harassment can be particularly distressing for those who may already be feeling vulnerable.

Be cautious of a certain Christine Jones claiming to be from 'Windows something or other'-her accent is quite strong, making it a bit tricky to catch everything she says. She rattles off your personal details-name and address-at a rapid pace, leaving you feeling rather flustered. It's the typical scam narrative: they allege that your computer has been compromised and that Microsoft is alerting you to suspicious online activity detected from your device. If you don't hop onto your computer immediately to confirm some ID, they threaten that your account could be suspended, and you might even be held responsible for this so-called cybercrime!

I received a rather persistent call from an individual claiming to be some sort of tech wizard, insisting that my computer was at risk of being hacked. He alleged to be representing Windows and that his expertise was vital. After enduring his rude and confrontational attitude, I lost my patience and told him precisely what I thought of his nonsense - I must’ve used some choice language at least a dozen times! He seemed rather adamant, promising to bombard my phone as long as I refused to engage with him. In response, I didn’t hold back and expressed my disdain for him and his associates very clearly. Remarkably, he did ring me another 30 times or so, but thankfully I managed to activate my call-blocking feature, which finally put an end to his relentless attempts. It's frankly exhausting to think about how we’re continually subjected to these low-quality scammers from abroad.

Just yesterday, on the 1st of August 2015 at around 7:30 in the morning, I received a peculiar call from an individual who claimed to be from Microsoft. He insisted that my computer had been compromised and provided me with a code that I supposedly needed to enter to prevent further issues. Naturally, I asked him for his contact number, which he shared as 02033180712. I mentioned that I would verify his number with Microsoft to ascertain its authenticity, while also expressing that I still felt rather drowsy and required some rest before inspecting my computer. Nevertheless, he continued to press me to power on my device. I assured him that I would look into that after I had a bit more sleep. Fortunately, upon investigating the number, I discovered that many others have experienced similar calls.

They’ve rung my elderly mother, who's 81 and suffers from dementia and Alzheimer's, three times this month alone. Each time she tries to explain she doesn’t own a computer and ends the call, they ring her back insisting, “You didn’t let us explain.” Just this morning, I picked up the phone, and a woman named “Christine” was on the line asking about my Windows 8. I firmly told her to pay attention, insisting I wanted my information removed from their scam list, and mentioned that I've begun legal action against their company. Would you believe it - she just hung up on me! What a cheek!

Like many others have mentioned, they simply refuse to accept a "no" and keep pestering you with calls. I had to go to the lengths of showing some firmness, and remarkably, they didn’t bother me again afterwards.

My partner told them to buzz off and ended the call, but they dialled again almost immediately. When I picked up and asked who it was, the person said, "the bloke your mum lost her virginity to. I've just been having a go at someone in your family and now it’s your turn." I’ve reported it to the phone provider like Ofcom recommends.

This sounds a lot like the other stories here. Would be handy to find out where the number’s coming from so we could ring back and say we were outside waiting for a chat.

I received a rather forceful call from this number today. An irate chap claimed to be from Windows, insisting that my computer had been compromised. He offered to help me resolve the so-called issue, but when I politely declined his assistance, he turned rather unpleasant. To top it off, he rang me back three times!

Got a call from what sounded like some Windows support, but the lady on the line struggled to speak proper English. She mentioned something about my Windows license being cancelled if I didn’t do what she asked. I told her I don’t even use a computer anymore, I just work on my phone now. After that, she didn’t seem very keen to keep chatting.

Some dodgy hackers got into my PC and made me pay online, they were able to watch everything I was doing. Proper scary stuff!

Got a call claiming to be from "Microsoft Windows Security", saying my computer was being targeted by hackers. As soon as I said I actually use a Mac, the caller suddenly switched gears and tried to convince me my Apple account was at risk instead. Really pathetic approach, honestly. I've had way more believable scam calls before than this rubbish.

Received calls from this number three times today; it’s becoming a regular nuisance. Last week, they were at it every day without fail. Often, we just let the answering machine do its job, but they seem to hang up before it kicks in. Today, we answered, and all we got was silence before they disconnected. Honestly, I can't fathom how these bottom feeders have the audacity to bother people like this - they truly make life unbearable. If only I could give them a piece of my mind!

I've been receiving calls from this number and it's really starting to get on my nerves. Today, I answered the call only to be met with complete silence. After a minute or two of awkward quietness, they just decided to hang up!

Got several calls from someone saying they were from Windows, sounded like a scam. I just kept putting them on hold after they called a few times and eventually they gave up.

Got a call from some IT support folks claiming my computer had issues. Told them off pretty sharp and just ended the call. They didn’t give up easily though, kept calling back. Total pain.

This morning, I received a flurry of four calls back-to-back from this number. An Asian-accented woman was eager to provide me with a so-called "computer security number," claiming I should enter it on my machine to reconnect with "Windows," from which she professed to be calling. Upon my refusal to comply, she became quite confrontational, even going so far as to threaten to "disconnect me from Windows for the rest of my days." Her relentless calls and brash manner were unsettling, prompting me to respond in kind. In the end, she achieved nothing!

I received a rather alarming call from someone claiming to represent Microsoft, insisting that my computer had been compromised and was being accessed from a different location. He insisted I jot down a CLSID number and urged me to turn on my computer immediately. Quite the unsettling experience, to say the least!

Received a call from 02033180712, which seemed to evade being blocked or concealed. It was the usual rigmarole from a Microsoft-fancied scammer, so I mentioned being registered with the Telephone Preference Service before cutting the line. Lo and behold, the same woman of Indian/Asian descent called back, pressing for an explanation on my abrupt disconnection! Having spent the last 18 years in telecommunications, particularly in IT Support, I informed her she was contravening the law by disregarding the TPS. I insisted that she expunge my details right away and shared my disdain for her brazen attempts to hound me. Next on my agenda is to bring these nefarious fraudsters to the attention of the Ombudsman. I urge everyone else to do the same; they're clued up about these swindlers, but it doesn’t hurt to add your voice of disapproval.

Got a call from some scammers claiming to be from Microsoft, talking all threatening and not giving up. Definitely tell the cops or whatever legal folks you can, because they’ve got ways of tracking these muppets even if they’re overseas. Just a heads up - they can’t actually shut your computer down, they're just fraudsters so don’t believe a word!

Scam from India - Super pushy! When I shut him down, he told me to go and do one! It's a bit concerning as these folks have my personal details. They've attempted to call me twice already. The first time, they pretended to be from TalkTalk, and the second, they claimed to represent Microsoft.

Those call centres based in India are nothing short of con artists! They often entice you with promises of resolving computer issues by installing software-only to end up charging exorbitant fees. Once they gain access, they can effectively breach your security, rifling through your PAYPAL account and swiping your credit card details to make unauthorised purchases. It's critical that we bring such dubious endeavours to the attention of Action Fraud online, in hopes of galvanising the Police Fraud squad into shuttering these scammers for good. Stay vigilant!

I had a rather similar experience, I must say. The individual on the other end had a distinctly Indian accent and asserted that my laptop was compromised, insisting there was some nefarious activity taking place through it. They warned me that my laptop would be rendered useless within a mere five minutes unless I took immediate action. To top it off, they provided me with a bogus computer ID number and an equally phoney contact number! I promptly hung up on the call, quite taken aback.

I received several calls on my home phone recently. I finally picked up after it had rung thrice within the space of a couple of minutes. When I answered, I was greeted by an Indian gentleman who claimed he was inquiring about my Windows licence. I mentioned that I actually use a Mac, at which point his story changed rather abruptly, and he suddenly began talking about something else entirely. Feeling quite uneasy, I ended the call. Not long after, my phone rang once more; this time, he seemed rather aggressive, so I hung up again. He tried contacting me once more, but I merely picked up the receiver and put it down immediately. Thankfully, that was the last I heard from him.

Earlier today, I received a rather dubious call from a chap with an Indian accent who introduced himself as a representative from Windows. He insisted that my computer had been hacked. He provided a number he claimed was my computer's licence number and alarmingly stated that as many as 17 hackers were apparently using it. I wasn't convinced and politely declined his offer, hanging up in the process. Remarkably, he rang me back almost immediately, sounding rather irate, demanding to know why I had cut the conversation short. I firmly told him that I'd prefer to have a proper technician examine my computer, to which he bluntly retorted there was nothing they could do. I shot back with, 'And you're going to fix this over the phone? Not a chance!' He then had the audacity to threaten me, saying that if I didn’t act on this, my computer would be history! At that point, I had enough and hung up on him.

Today, I received a phone call from someone from whom I had repeatedly declined any further communication. Despite my clear disinterest, he just wouldn't take the hint and kept pushing. After I hung up, he had the audacity to ring me back twice more. At one point during our chat, he even went so far as to accuse me of being dishonest! It was a rather unpleasant and intimidating experience. I urge you to investigate this matter and put an end to such unwanted calls.

I received a rather alarming phone call from a woman who spoke with an Indian accent. She introduced herself as Caroline Jones, supposedly from Windows, and insisted that my computer had been compromised to the tune of 87%. She stated that I had only thirty minutes to act, or else all would be lost. Her tone was incredibly forceful and she was relentlessly insistent, refusing to accept any form of refusal. I’ve taken the step of reporting this number to the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office). This kind of call is utterly distressing, particularly for the elderly or those who may be more fragile. It's essential that measures are implemented to put an end to these harassing calls.

I recently encountered a rather dodgy call that turned out to be a scam. The voice on the other end, which was a foreign woman, was incredibly pushy and insistent, claiming that my computer was under attack from hackers. It felt all too familiar, as I've heard similar accounts from others. The persistence of their spiel was quite alarming!
