Someone just called claiming to be from 'BT Openreach' saying there’s been some dodgy activity on my account in the past couple weeks. Then they asked if I’d shared my password with anyone. I mean, if I had, it wouldn’t really be unauthorised access, would it? Bit daft if you ask me.

This number kept calling me something like six times in a row. I told whoever it was that we weren’t interested in their “services” because apparently our internet was involved in some “illegal activity”. Had to be pretty firm with this guy called "Joshua" and tell him to leave us alone. He ended up getting really rude and called me a BLOODY IDIOT!!!! Honestly, never come across a scammer more stubborn than this one!!!

Got a call from some bloke claiming he was John from Microsoft Security. He sounded Asian but was acting like he wasn’t, which was a bit odd. His English was really dodgy, giving the whole thing away straight away. Obviously, he wasn’t from Microsoft - just some conman trying to nick my details or cash. The number he used is a landline that scammers have been using countless times. It’s frustrating that the proper folks don’t seem to be doing anything about it or catching these crooks.

Cant believe the old Microsoft scam is still a thing. When it's a guy on the phone, they seriously hate it if you mention their family and then give them stick about it. If that kind of stresses you out, just keep in mind they're just after your money no matter what.

I got a call from a guy named John, sounded like he had an Asian accent, saying he was with the National Cyber Crime Centre. He told me there was some sort of misuse of my computer linked to Russia and China. Then he wanted me to let him access my computer remotely through something called Zoho[###]. He gave me a phone number 0300 020 0964, but the call was actually coming from 020 802 80056.

I had a conversation regarding an issue I was facing with my computer. When I inquired about the specifics, the caller resorted to name-calling, labelling me as an idiot, a fool, and even a moron. There was an Asian accent, and after hurling those insults, he abruptly ended the call.

Supposedly from Microsoft. They claimed my PC was under attack and needed me to open it up so they could "fix" the issue. I told them I wasn’t comfortable with the call and asked for a number to ring them back on. Took ages before they gave me one. I ended the call and looked up the number only to find it was marked as risky. Needless to say, I never bothered calling them again!

I got a message from 442080280056 claiming my Norton subscription bill was due for £399. The thing is, I’ve never signed up for anything like that. When I rang them up to sort it out, the bloke said they’ve been dealing with loads of bogus subscriptions ever since the virus began. I made it clear I don’t want any subscription and never asked for one. I’ve also contacted my bank to make sure they don’t pay a penny. Definitely a scam!

Just like everyone else said, got an email saying it was from Norton but there wasn’t even a Norton logo on it. When I clicked on the sender’s name, it showed up as [email protected][###]. Don’t ring any of those numbers, they’re scammers for sure. If Norton needs to reach you they’ll do it themselves, so best to ignore those calls. Hopefully that helps someone.

Got a call from a woman claiming to be from the National Cyber Security Centre. She already had my full name and tried to get me to verify my address, but I didn’t. She asked if I owned a computer, and before I could respond, she said there was a major issue with it. When I asked how she knew that, she went on to ask what I was doing on the computer. I told her I was in the nude watching adult content, which obviously wasn’t true. Fingers crossed they don’t call me again!

I recently received a phone call from this number, and the person on the other end had quite a noticeable Indian accent. They claimed to represent 'Microsoft Windows' and insisted they were reaching out regarding issues with my computer. When I inquired about how they obtained my number, they asserted that my device had somehow sent out an alert regarding a fault and that it was supposedly riddled with viruses. I mentioned that I’m actually a computer engineer-quite the truth, mind you-and just like that, they hung up on me...

I told them I knew it was a scam and ended the call. Then amazingly, they called right back, grilled me about why I ended the chat, and when I explained, the bloke actually insulted me!
