2 yearsSome bloke rang saying that because of some decision by the ombudsman, I could claim a free boost to my life insurance or get cash back. I told him I didn’t even have a policy with the company he mentioned, and he hung up dead quick. Watch out for these calls!3 yearsI received a dodgy call from this so-called tech support, and the chap on the other end had an accent that sounded Asian. He claimed to be with Microsoft, saying he could sort out some issues on my computer from a distance. The unsettling part? He had my full name and address spot on! What a right shambles!Microsoft5 yearsI wasnt sure what he was on about, something to do with my computer. Thing is, I dont own a computer or even a laptop. I told him to stop calling me and then just hung up.5 yearsHe was on about something with my computer but I dont even own one, not a laptop or anything. So I just told him to quit calling me and hung up.5 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded Asian, but I couldn't say if it was a bloke or a woman. When I didn't play along, they started swearing like mad, kept dropping horrible insults about my mum, like seriously, loads of times. It got so ridiculous I just laughed, and then they hung up straight away. Honestly, we need a proper way to shut these calls down for good.5 yearsReceived a call purporting to be from Microsoft, warning me that my computer has been infected with the alureon virus. Quite concerning!Microsoft5 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent, claiming she was from Microsoft. She asked if I owned a computer or laptop, but I told her it wasn't any of her business and told her to buzz off before hanging up. Later on, a bloke called me, probably from the same lot. I just told him to jog on or I'd report them and then ended the call.Microsoft5 yearsJust got a call from some bloke from India or Pakistan about a supposed Microsoft problem. The joke is, I don’t even use Microsoft at all. What a waste of time from that complete muppet!Microsoft5 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, asking to access my computer. I told him it was a scam, but he just kept insisting on who he was and kept telling me to press keys on the keyboard. I ended the call, but he rang back almost straight away. This time he said he was the supervisor of the guy who called before, his name was Tom. Honestly, sounded like the same bloke to me. I told him I was going to report it.MicrosoftAlanTom5 yearsI picked up but there was no one on the other end, so I decided to block the number.5 yearsGot two calls from this number earlier today but when I picked up, no one said a word. Quite strange.5 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Asian accent who said someone had hacked my PC. I acted amazed and joked that whoever it was must be tiny to squeeze inside! She sounded a bit thrown off then, and I could hear some shuffling like she was looking at notes or something. I told her to get a proper job and ended the call. If they ring again, I might play along and ask them to tell me my IP address - bet they haven’t got a clue what that means!5 yearsHonestly, I have no clue.5 yearsThese scammers, claiming to be from Microsoft Windows, are just plain pathetic and dangerous. I almost forgot the name he used for his company! I let him know I could do his job better and rudely told him to buzz off. This was the fifth call I’ve had in only three days.Microsoft5 yearsHonestly, I’m not sure who they are, but my phone got a bunch of calls from them - like five times yesterday. After the third call, it just stopped ringing. They never left a message or anything. Strange.5 yearsFirst there was a brief pause, then a guy with an Asian accent said he was ringing from Microsoft. I asked him which part of London he was in, but he got irritated with the question, so I just ended the call. Microsoft wouldn’t be phoning me out of the blue like that, so I'm pretty sure it was a scam.MicrosoftLondon5 yearsThis number has rung me three times today. I've gone ahead and blocked it on my call minder now.5 yearsSo, this bloke with an Asian accent called claiming he was from Microsoft tech support. He actually knew my name, email, and even my home phone number! He told me someone had been trying to break into my Microsoft account and asked about the computers I had. Then he started telling me to do some stuff on my PC, but I was using my iPad then. That’s when I just told him to stop and ended the call!Microsoft5 yearsI keep gettin calls from the number 02080280735. I'm 75 and on crutches, so this is really starting to annoy me. Can't these people just stop calling?5 yearsThis number 02080280735 keeps ringing me and I'm 75, struggling about on crutches, it’s really getting on my nerves now.6 yearsMy phone was buzzing non stop, rang and rang then just suddenly stopped before I could pick up. Decided to check the number and turns out its one of those dodgy scam calls, really dangerous stuff. Seriously, why can’t folks just stop pestering and trying to scam others? Just leave people alone already!6 yearsGot a call from some idiot pretending to be Microsoft. Didn’t even cross my mind to let him take control of my PC. Total scam, obviously.Microsoft6 yearsThis person said they were from Microsoft and probably figured I'd fall for letting them get into my computer. I wasn't having any of it, so I contacted BT to get that number blocked.MicrosoftBT6 yearsI called this number back, but some person with an accent I couldn't place said there was nobody around to answer. I ended up just hanging up.6 yearsOn the 14th of January, at about 9:03 in the morning, I got a call from this number but they didn’t leave any message on my answerphone. I've ended up blocking them now.6 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from Windows. The line was really crackly and distant. When I asked where he was ringing from, he got all annoyed and yelled, ‘Not window, Windows!’ I repeated my question about the country, and then he abruptly hung up. It's crazy how shameless some of these scammers are - we should definitely find a way to track them down and shut them up for good.6 yearsThis guy kept going on and on about some computer problem he supposedly discovered. None of it made any sense. I called him out for being a scammer and just ended the call straight away.6 yearsThis bloke rang me up saying he was from Microsoft and told me to turn on my computers. I said no, and he got really rude, even called me a liar and started threatening me. I’m older, so it was quite frightening. I really hope something can be done to stop these calls. I’ve blocked the number now, but they’ve called me before from another one. The company kept ringing me and claimed to be Microsoft - the number was 02080280738 - proper harassing behaviour.Microsoft6 yearsNo idea who that was, they didn’t bother leaving any message.6 yearsso many calls from this number that i just ignored them till i finally picked up. after a long pause, a voice said something about microsoft tech support. i quickly ended the call, didnt trust it one bit!Microsoft6 yearsI swear, they just keep coming back! Got another call from an 020 number that I've already gone ahead and blocked on my phone.Submit Your Own Report (020 8028 0738)
