Watch out for hacker calls! Make sure your accounts are safe. Don’t pick up unknown numbers. If you have a Samsung phone, switch on the Caller ID SPAM PROTECTION. Just tap the green phone icon, hit the 3 dots for settings, then activate the Caller ID SPAM PROTECTION. Stay safe!

Totally a scam call using a fake London number. When I picked up, there was silence for a few seconds, then someone finally answered.

Got a call from a guy who sounded Indian, claiming he was a 'Microsoft' engineer. He said they got an error message from our computer - weird since we’ve got an iMac that doesn’t even use Windows. He actually rang my wife's phone first, and when she told me they didn’t have her number, he started arguing and was really pushy, asking what she’d just said!

I've received loads of calls from 020 numbers this week, one even said it was about my business insurance (which I don’t have).

Today, I received a rather peculiar phone call on my landline from a chap who alleged he was associated with the technical support team of Microsoft Windows. He inquired about my experience with the operating system and offered his assistance. Initially, he appeared to be quite genuine, but soon he began bombarding me with a barrage of questions that struck me as rather irrelevant. It was only after the conversation that I realised he was, in fact, attempting to pull a fast one on me.
