They called me up claiming my computer was infected with viruses. Told them I don’t even own a computer. They kept asking if I was sure. I said pretty certain I’d notice if I had one! They just ended the call after that. Definitely blocked now.

On Wednesday, 4th of February 2015, at about 2:37pm, my mum, who’s 76 years old and recovering from throat surgery, got a call. Because she couldn’t really speak properly, the young man on the line started asking some awful, inappropriate questions, like if he could have sex with her. She ended the call straight away. Then, about 30 minutes later, the phone rang again, and when she answered, it was the same guy asking if she was prepared for him. This company needs to be found - what they put my mum through was terrible.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be with "Global Internet Security," said they manage the DNS and something about viruses spreading from my computer onto the Internet. Total rubbish, definitely one of those ransomware tries.

Just like everyone else is saying, they said they were from the mainframe or something, but couldn’t answer a single question about my account. They also started swearing and being really rude. Safe to say it was a total scam, possibly trying to get a virus onto my PC. Wouldn't trust them for a second.

I'm so fed up with getting calls where no one actually answers or it turns out to be a scam. It’s really stressful answering quickly, thinking it might be family on the line. The government should really step in and block these numbers before they even reach us - it’s basically fraud.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from some Pakistan service, saying my computer's infected with a virus. They wanted me to make changes to my PC or something. Honestly, just hang up and block these annoying calls - it's all just spam! Don’t fall for it, folks!

My elderly father-in-law got a call from someone claiming his computer was infected with a virus. When I started asking questions, they couldn't really give clear answers. Then the woman on the line rudely told me to just hang up because I was being stupid...

Absolute muppets, these scammers. The way I see it, their game is to blast out loads of calls hoping to trick someone into downloading some rubbish software and then shelling out to "fix" their so-called damaged computer. Even if just one in a thousand falls for it, they've made their money back. You'd figure that when someone calls them out, they'd just hang up and try their luck elsewhere. But no, these clowns aren’t that clever... they actually called back after we hung up, ranting at us. Then, they just sat there swearing away after we left the phone tucked away on a pillow in a spare room, instead of moving on to scam some poor old soul. What a waste of time!

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming he was from this site www.Globalcubes.com. He reckoned he found my number through my IP and said my computer was at risk. When I questioned him, he lost his cool and ended the call with "f*** off stupid". Then he phoned again, calling me "stupid guy" and throwing insults like "f***ing stupid man" and "stupid bastard" at me. The third time, he asked if I had kids, so I just said goodbye and hung up. He dialled a fourth time but I simply ignored it.

This person kept ringing me last week and was really nasty, calling me a stupid c--t over and over again. They phoned about six times, always repeating the same insults. I've reported them to the police, Sky, and the TPS now.

Got a call from an Asian guy earlier, said his name was Pete. He was going on about my computer having some sort of error messages or whatever. Thing is, I don’t even own a computer. I knew straight away it was some dodgy scam, so I just told him I don’t have one. As you’d expect, he ended the call pretty sharpish.

This bloke called me saying my computer was sending them loads of error warnings. When I told him I wasn’t buying it, he got proper narked and started shouting that he’d cut off my internet straight away. Then he just hung up. Funny thing is, my internet is still working perfectly fine - see, these irritating scammers ain’t got no power over me.

Got a call around 4:25 this arvo from someone saying his name was David. Straight away I asked if he was trying to sell me something or just cold calling, especially since my number’s ex-directory. He then started blabbering about some supposed issue with my computer? I cut him off, asked what computer he was on about since I don’t even have one. And then, just like that, the line went dead. Pretty sure this dodgy bloke will be ringing back again.

Got a call from someone saying they were ringing about our computers. I told them we run a software firm, and then the bloke asked if I had my MAC address handy. I said yeah, I knew every MAC address on my whole network. After that, they just ended the call. Complete muppets!!!

So this bloke calls me saying my computer's full of viruses and running slow - like I’m a total mug! I told him straight up I know my stuff since my partner's a proper computer whizz. He then starts telling me I haven’t a clue and insists I get my son on the line, after we left the phone off the hook when he first rang. Honestly, the cheek of him! I ended the call, and wouldn’t you know it, he buzzes again. This time I answered and gave him such a fright, yelling down the phone at full volume for ages, probably had the whole street wondering what was going on. Needless to say, he hasn’t bothered ringing back... at least not yet!

Today, I got a call from this number saying there was an issue with my internet login. I immediately suspected it was a scam, especially since I don’t even own a computer. When I mentioned that, the guy said something rude about women talking too much! That’s when I just ended the call.

I get calls like twice every day, it’s pretty annoying. I don’t ever leave messages on my voicemail cause that’s why it’s there. If I don’t recognise the number, I just let it ring off and check who it was later. Don’t these people have other stuff to sort out?

Got several calls from some muppet claiming to be a "network admin" trying to get me to give him access to my computer. I’m sure his plan was to sneak in some malware and then charge me to get rid of it. The worst bit is, although the call centre was likely from abroad (probably India), the phone number showing up was a London number. So it looks like someone in the UK, maybe even a local telecom, is involved in this dodgy scam, whether they know it or not. I've handed everything over to the police and Action Fraud for them to sort it out. - Philip

Today, I got a call from this number claiming there was a problem with my computer. When I stood my ground with the woman on the phone, she got quite hostile and even threatened to show up at my place, rattling off my full address and postcode in a really intimidating way. Honestly, it left me feeling quite shaken.

This was my fifth time getting a call over the past three weeks, today being Thurs 29th Jan at about 10.30am. The person had an Indian accent and kept going on about some “known computer issue.” Not true at all, my computer is perfectly fine. These calls are definitely breaking the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, especially since I’m on the Telephone Preference Service and even have my number ex-directory.

I got a call from this number two times just in one day. It was a lady with a foreign accent asking about if my computer was working alright. When I asked where she got my number from, she just dropped the call. A few weeks back, the same number rang me and some bloke claimed he was calling all the way from Afghanistan and said his name was James Bond! Pretty weird if you ask me.

This number has been ringing me for several days now. Finally, I picked up today and some person with a strange accent started going on about a problem with my computer and how slow it was running. When I said there was nothing wrong and that my husband actually works as a computer tech, she just ended the call straight away. I’ve actually had calls from this same number before. The last time, they were asking me about a car accident I supposedly had.

I got a call from this number earlier, a bloke who said his name was David and he wanted to discuss something about my computer. I mentioned the Data Protection Act and told him I’d need to ask a few questions first. When I asked which company he was with, he said Microsoft. As soon as I pressed him a bit more, he just hung up on me.

My mum got a call from someone claiming to be from Windows, saying her computer and internet were full of viruses and running super slow (which is rubbish because her PC is custom made with really good parts and a brand new OS on it). I told her to just tell them she wasn’t interested and to end the call. But then they called back 3 more times and even left a voicemail calling her stupid! Ridiculous.

Got a call saying my internet hub was acting up. Since my hub’s with Virgin, I instantly suspected a scam and told the bloke exactly that. They’re just after your info, so don’t give them any of it. I just joked that my partner’s a copper, that seemed to shut him down quick.
