02081551095

Received a call from 02081551095, with the caller claiming to be from Amazon's security team, apparently verifying a mobile phone order I'd supposedly made the day before. I suspected it might be a typical scam attempt, likely leading to a request for remote access to my computer. So, I kindly asked them to depart.

I just received a rather dubious call from a firm claiming to be IT Support London. The caller was a woman with a rather thick Indian accent. When I mentioned that I don’t use a Microsoft computer, she abruptly ended the conversation. Clearly, this is an outright scam, and I wouldn't dream of sharing any details with individuals of this nature. It’s high time these sorts of calls were prohibited in the UK!

I received a rather alarming call from someone claiming my computer had been compromised. I figured it wise to ask for her contact details and the name of her company so I could verify her legitimacy with the authorities. But the moment I did, she abruptly cut the line!

Today, I had a chap on the phone with a rather Asian accent claiming to be John Jones from some tech support outfit. He provided me with this number to check out. I pretended to oblige and mentioned I’d boot up my computer as he requested. After a bit of banter, it seemed he caught on that I wasn’t falling for his ruse-especially when he inquired about my operating system. I cheekily replied, “Russell Hobbs,” while eyeing my microwave! I reckon at that point, he twigged that I wasn’t as gullible as he’d hoped!

I received a call from someone claiming there was an issue with my computer. I requested his phone number so I could get back to him later.

Received a call from 0201414193, some Brian Williams from Online Techguide in Hanover Street, London. He was pretty pushy and wouldn’t accept my refusal. He claimed he could fix a problem with my computer.

I had a call from someone identifying themselves as Phillip Jones, claiming my computer was about to be shut down and that I would need to fork out £319.00 to keep it running! After I hung up on him, he had the audacity to ring me again!

I got a rather dodgy phone call from someone purporting to be from "IT Computer Support." The chap had a thick accent and insisted that my computer was bombarding them with error messages. He then gave me a number to ring back. It’s clearly a scam of the highest order, as all they were after was remote access to my machine, and when that didn’t pan out, they tried to peddle some overpriced software that I supposedly "required." I decided to call the number he provided after firmly declining his offer, only to find out that it’s now "temporarily unavailable." It’s beyond a joke-what a complete farce!

Some bloke called me saying he was from an IT firm linked to Microsoft, saying my computer had errors and that I hadn’t replied to their messages. I asked if Microsoft was contacting everyone about errors, and he said no, just a few people. I said I’d give them a ring back and he told me to ask for James on that number.

Received a call from someone claiming there were major issues with my Windows system at home. The thing is, I don’t even own a computer! They even provided a business address: 14 Hannover St, Mayfair, 2Y8W2, as if it were all very normal. It’s clearly a scam!

I can't tell you the number of times I've received those dodgy calls claiming my computer is infested with viruses, and surprise, surprise, this so-called company is the ONLY one that can sort it out. It's an absolute con, and it's been going on for yonks. They claim to be from Microsoft Technical Support, which is frankly ludicrous because there's no way Microsoft would have your personal information. Additionally, my computer doesn’t attack their so-called business servers in India - it’s all nonsense. They often direct you to the Event Viewer on Windows, where you'll see a multitude of errors, but trust me, that's perfectly normal for any Windows system. They'll falsely assert that these errors are due to a virus, which is simply not true. Then, they’ll ask for your IP address (whatever you do, don’t give them this info!), and they’ll urge you to install software from their dodgy website. This is their sneaky tactic to gain access to your computer and introduce actual malware. They essentially insert it into a file within the Windows system folder. Once they've successfully executed their plan, they'll demand a payment ranging from £80 to £160 to “remove” the virus they introduced! Just don't hand over any credit or debit card details to these scammers. You might be wondering how to rid your PC of this pesky virus - just speak to someone knowledgeable about Windows systems, and they'll be able to identify and eradicate the virus for you. It's straightforward if you've got a good grasp of computers and how Windows operates. As for me, I play them at their own game, which utterly frustrates them; but more importantly, it helps protect others who might be susceptible to this scam. As a Computer Analyst with over three decades of experience, I assure you, everything I’ve said here is spot on.

I just had a rather dodgy call from a chap named Michael, claiming to represent "Gold Smartdrive." He insisted that my Windows system is on the verge of crashing and that he's got the credentials from Windows to sort it out. It all sounds highly suspicious! A senior friend of mine fell victim to a similar ruse and ended up being scammed out of some cash. Please stay alert and don't get taken in by this nonsense!

Received a call from someone claiming their system had flagged an issue with my computer. When I queried who instructed her to contact me, she just kept insisting that the server was indicating I had a problem. I realised it was just a fraudulent racket and hung up the phone.

This time, the caller didn't say a word and simply ended the call. Interestingly, the London number displayed had the Netherlands' international code (0031) tacked on the front.

Jackson called me up saying there was an issue with my computer. He kept pushing some online tech support service. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

I received a call from someone who claimed my computer was sending out panic signals. They insisted that if I sat in front of my machine, they could assist me in resolving the issue. Given that it operates via a business server, I couldn't fathom how that would even occur. I distinctly remember a similar situation being looked into by Watchdog or one of those consumer programmes last year. They ended up requesting payment details and enrolling unsuspecting individuals in a subscription service, essentially robbing them blind. It's best to steer clear of these individuals-it's nothing but a scam!

I got a call from this number claiming they were contacting me regarding some computer issue. When I requested that they take my number off their list, the woman on the line said it wasn't possible and even had the audacity to chuckle when I mentioned reporting them.

Got a call from someone called Michael Austin, said he was from 14 Hanover Street in London. He told me my computer had a serious problem. Definitely a scam, watch out.

I received a call about my computer today. The bloke on the other end claimed to be from some sort of tech support, but I couldn’t quite catch the name he mentioned.

Received a call from an Indian number, and a gentleman identified himself as Kevin. He mentioned he was calling in connection with our Windows PC.
