They claimed my computer was infected with viruses, but I told them I don’t own one. “Are you quite certain?” they pressed. I replied, “I reckon I’d be aware if I had a computer!” Then they abruptly ended the call. I've now taken the liberty of blocking them.

On Wednesday 4th February 2015, around 2:37pm, my 76-year-old mother received a rather troubling call. Having just undergone a throat operation, her ability to speak was quite limited. The caller, a rather brash young lad, audibly asked her if he could engage in an inappropriate encounter with her. Naturally, she hung up in shock. To make matters worse, just thirty minutes later, the phone rang again, and it was the same chap asking if she was prepared for him. This has genuinely unnerved my mother, and I’m eager to uncover which company is behind such disgraceful conduct.

I received a rather bothersome call from someone claiming to be with "Global Internet Security." This individual insisted that there were viruses "leaking from my computer to the Internet." Quite obviously, it was a scam aimed at extorting money related to ransomware. What a cheeky trickster!

Echoing what others have said, I've had a right palaver with this lot. My computer's been acting up, and they somehow got in. When I tried to ask about my account, they had no clue and pretended to be from some mainframe, whatever that means! To make matters worse, they were downright rude and swearing like troopers. It’s obviously a dodgy scam.

Received a rather bizarre call earlier today; the person on the other end claimed my computer was sluggish and infected with a virus. When I inquired if they knew my name, they rudely told me to shove off! Quite the conversation, wouldn’t you say?

I'm absolutely tired of these incessant phone calls-most of the time, there's nobody on the line, and occasionally it feels like a scam. It’s quite distressing, as I find myself scrambling to answer, only to discover it’s not a dear one trying to reach me. Honestly, it’s high time the authorities took action to cut these calls off right at the source, as it’s nothing short of fraudulent behaviour!

I received a call from someone claiming to be from a service in Pakistan, insisting that my computer had contracted a virus. They wanted me to make various adjustments on my device. Honestly, it's quite absurd-let's be clear: these calls are entirely spam! I would strongly advise everyone to dismiss and block such ridiculous calls.

I received a rather dubious call intended for my elderly father-in-law, claiming that his computer was infected with a virus. When I probed them with questions, their responses were all over the place and utterly unconvincing. At one point, a woman on the line told me to hang up because, according to her, I was being an idiot...

What a bunch of dimwits! It's quite clear how these crooks operate-making countless calls in hopes that just one gullible soul will bite and unwittingly download their dodgy software, thereby coughing up cash to “repair” a computer that’s probably not even broken. You’d think these chancers would have the common sense to just hang up and look for a new target if we caught onto their little ruse. But no, these muppets aren't very bright! We actually had them ringing back after we ended the call, hurling insults and calling us thick! Can you believe it? Instead of moving on, we even left the phone under a cushion in another room just to hear them rant to themselves-rather than seeking out some unsuspecting elderly person who might just fall for their nonsense. What a right mess!

I received a call from a gentleman with an Asian accent who claimed to represent www.Globalcubes.com. He asserted that my phone number had been linked to my IP address and that my device was at risk. When I questioned his legitimacy, he became quite irate, ultimately shouting "f*** off, you idiot!" before abruptly ending the call. Remarkably, he called back, greeting me with "hello, you daft git," and proceeded to hurl insults like "f***ing fool" and "stupid tosser." After that, he rang again and bizarrely inquired whether I had any children. I decided to bid him farewell and hung up. He attempted to reach me yet again for a fourth time, but I chose not to answer.

I had a rather distressing experience with this caller who repeatedly rang me up, hurling insults and calling me an absolute idiot. They rang me about six times, each time regurgitating the same foul language. I've gone ahead and reported the matter to the police, Sky, and the Telephone Preference Service. This individual had been pestering me throughout the entirety of last week as well.

Received a call today from a gent with an Asian accent claiming to be Pete. He mentioned that my computer was allegedly sending out some error messages or something similar. The thing is, I don’t even own a computer! Immediately clocking it as a rather shoddy scam, I informed him of my situation, and lo and behold, he promptly ended the call. Quite laughable, really!

What a classic scam! They ring up insisting that my computer has been bombarding them with error alerts. When I pushed back, the chap got quite furious and even threatened to cut off my internet on the spot before hanging up. Funny thing is, my internet is still working perfectly fine despite this impolite, misguided little bloke's bravado.

Just had a call around 4:25 this afternoon from someone claiming to be David. As soon as he introduced himself, I swiftly questioned him about why he was ringing my ex-directory number uninvited. He started spouting some nonsense about my computer having issues. My immediate reply was, “What computer? I don’t possess one!” At that point, the line went silent. I’ve got a strong feeling this fraudster will attempt to reach me again.

Just had a chat with my missus a little while back, and she told me she wasn't keen on whatever this chap was peddling. Next thing I know, he's launched into a tirade of foul language at her. If I ever come across this tosser, he’s going to wish he hadn’t.

I received a rather peculiar call earlier, with the caller insisting he was contacting me regarding my computer. When I mentioned that I work for a software firm, he cheekily quizzed me about my MAC address. I confidently told him I was well acquainted with all the MAC addresses associated with my network. Quite surprisingly, they abruptly terminated the call. What a bunch of numpties!

"My computer's been crawling along and apparently caught a virus!" Can you believe it? I made it clear that I'm no fool and possess decent computer knowledge, courtesy of my husband who's an IT whiz. The bloke on the other end then had the gall to insist I hadn’t a clue and wanted to speak to my son instead-who had been the one to pick up the call before we decided to leave the phone off the hook. Utterly outrageous! I hung up again, but naturally, he decided to ring back. This time, I picked up and proceeded to give my neighbours a rather rude awakening by shrieking at the top of my lungs for a good while, then I just slammed the phone down. Haven't heard from him since… fingers crossed it stays that way!

I got a rather suspicious call from this number earlier today, claiming there was an issue with my internet login. Right away, I suspected it was a scam, so I decided to play along and mentioned that I didn't own a computer, which made it rather odd for him to receive any fault notifications. His response? He remarked that it wasn't appropriate for a woman to chatter so much! That was the final straw, and I promptly ended the call.

I'm receiving calls from this number a couple of times every day, and they never leave a message on the answering machine, which is precisely why I have it set up. I tend to ignore any calls from numbers I don’t recognise, but I do make a point of looking them up afterwards. Honestly, don't they have anything better to occupy their time?

I received a barrage of calls from an absolute numpty who claimed to be the “network administrator.” This character was trying to manipulate me into giving him access to my computer. I suspect his true motive was to plant some nasty virus on my system and then pressure me into forking out cash to get rid of it. What really riles me is that, although the call centre appears to be overseas (most likely in India), the caller ID showed a number from London. This suggests that either an individual or a telecoms provider here in the UK is inadvertently or otherwise complicit in this dodgy scheme. I've gone ahead and reported the incident to the police as well as Action Fraud, which is part of the police framework. Cheers, Philip.

I received a rather unsettling phone call earlier today from this number, claiming there was an issue with my computer.

I've had the misfortune of receiving my fifth call in the past three weeks, with the latest one coming in today, Thursday the 29th of January, at around half ten in the morning. An individual with an Indian accent was attempting to discuss a so-called issue with my computer. However, I can assure you, there are no problems whatsoever on my end. These incessant calls are a clear violation of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations from 2003. Moreover, I thought being ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service would keep me safe from such disturbances!

I've been inundated with calls from this number for quite a few days now. Today, I finally decided to pick up and lo and behold, a foreign-sounding individual on the line started rambling on about some supposed glitch with my computer and its sluggish performance. When I mentioned that there was absolutely nothing wrong and that my husband happens to be a computer whizz, she promptly terminated the call. This isn't the first time I’ve received calls from this number either; the last time, they inquired about an accident I supposedly had. Quite the nuisance, I must say!

I received a call from this number today. A chap named David was on the line, claiming he wanted to discuss my computer.

However, before I could dig deeper, he abruptly hung up! Quite the dodgy situation, if you ask me.

My mother received a call from someone claiming to be with Windows, insisting that her computer and internet were compromised, sluggish, and antiquated. This, despite the fact that her machine is a bespoke creation boasting top-tier components and a brand-new operating system. I instructed her to firmly decline their dubious offer and hang up. Unfortunately, they had the audacity to ring her three more times afterward, even leaving a voicemail belittling her intelligence. How appalling!
