Received a phone call earlier today from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, warning me about a security issue on my PC. I told them my computer was fine, but they kept insisting there was a problem and threatened to cut off my Windows access. I told them to go ahead and try, but then the caller started getting quite rude. I ended up hanging up. Honestly, these scammers are nothing but predators, preying on folks who might not realise the danger.

We got a call and told them straight away we’re on the BT preferred list. We ended the call, but almost right away she rang back asking why we’d just hung up. We repeated ourselves and told her we didn’t fancy chatting. Then she said “You’re not a VIP” and started on about cancelling our contract and shutting off our phone line. We told her she sounded pushy and threatening and said we’d hang up, but before we could, she cut the call herself.

This bloke said he was calling from Microsoft. I sent him straight to my scammer voicemail, which plays a recorded bit telling them their call sounds dodgy and to leave a message if they're legit. Funny enough, he left a message threatening to cut off my computer, accusing me of letting fraudsters use it. Said he was based in Reading and invited me over, but didn’t bother giving an address. Not exactly rushing to take him up on it!

Got a call from some Eastern European lot claiming to be Windows Security, total scam. Feels like these Indian scammers are struggling to keep up. I ended the call quick before I could ask if they've ever come across the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). My guess is they haven't a clue.

I told him to get lost and ended the call right there.

Not really sure. My new BT phone's call blocking works well and stops most of them. Still, the number pops up in my call history, which made me look it up here out of interest. These pests hardly bother me anymore. If the caller's in my contacts, the call gets through, otherwise it gets blocked.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft Windows Security, but the number was from a totally different area code out of Reading's business park. They told me my computer was sending warning alerts and wanted me to check it out. When I asked what I should do, they had me describe what was on my screen, so I started reading a few of the reviews from this site instead. They told me to shut it down, but I ignored them and kept going - then they just hung up. Number’s blocked now.

Most of the time it’s a woman with an Asian accent, but today a bloke answered and there was this long, weird noise after. Normally, they’re asking for my husband, who’s passed away, and I’m like, “There’s no one here by that name!” I’ve blocked the number now. Got about three or four calls from them in the last two weeks.

On the 3rd of August last year at half past eleven in the morning, we received a rather distressing phone call. The individual on the other end claimed our computer was in jeopardy. My wife politely informed him that we were quite fine and tried to end the call. To our shock, he raised his voice, exclaiming, "How can you be certain you don’t have an issue?" We promptly hung up, only for him to ring back, this time issuing a menacing warning about withdrawing our service. My wife was understandably upset and disconnected the call again. Then, without any hesitation, he called once more, launching into a tirade until he concluded with a curt, "We are done," before abruptly terminating the conversation. This intimidating man left my wife in tears, fraught with anxiety from the whole ordeal.

I’ve missed another call from them - it’s the fourth one now. They keep switching up the last couple digits of the phone number they ring from each time. For example, 02038399981 is connected with numbers like 02038499967 and 02038499969, which came through twice. I think they do this to dodge the block function on landlines. Also, I’d suggest turning off your answerphone since they can tell your number is in use that way.
