Got a call this morning at 8:58 from some bloke with an accent claiming to be from Windows. Didn’t bother answering when they rang yesterday. As soon as I heard who it was, I just ended the call and looked them up here. It's really sad that anyone could be tricked by this kind of stuff!!

Got a call from a woman speaking English with an Indian accent claiming to be from Windows. I quickly told her I wasn’t interested and ended the call. Then I phoned 1572 to block the number through BT, so if they try again it’ll go straight to my junk folder and leave me alone.

They're still out there trying to trick folks - some sort of computer virus con.

A guy with an Indian accent called me twice within half an hour warning about a virus on my computer. I told him straight up I’d be reporting the number for a possible scam.

The phone rings nonstop and just cuts off as soon as I pick up. This started happening right after I got one of those automated survey calls asking about benefits. So annoying!

Receiving calls from this number four times each day. I’m not answering since they’re unfamiliar to me.

They ring me daily but never bother to leave a voicemail! So annoying!

I had a right peculiar phone call today; a chap with a rather heavy accent claimed that my computer was infected with a Trojan Horse virus. He insisted I grant him access to my device to sort it out, and offered to take my credit card details for payment. I politely told him, absolutely not! What a shoddy attempt at a con! And just to clarify, I don't even own a computer-just an iPad! Honestly, you couldn't make it up! (I must admit, I channelled my inner Victor Meldrew for that one.) I've been finding myself in these situations more often now that I'm retired. How amusing!

So, I picked up the phone when it rang and some woman with an accent said I had a virus on my computer, claiming she was from Windows. She asked me to switch on my laptop so she could sort it out. I told her to hang on a sec while I popped out to get a laptop, and, guess what, she just ended the call right there. Typical scam!

Straight to block! Total Windows scam, don’t fall for it.

Got two calls in just a couple of hours from a bloke claiming to work for Windows, trying to get into my computer. Seriously, don’t buy into it!

Had a bloke ring me up a couple times within just two hours, claiming he worked for Windows and needed to get into my computer. Seriously, don’t buy into it - it’s a total scam.

I've received multiple calls from this number over the last few days. They don't let the phone ring for long at all, so I haven't had the chance to answer or note down who it is.

Someone rang claiming to be from Windows and told me my laptop was full of viruses, saying I had to log in so they could fix it. I just said they’d got the wrong person and ended the call. Afterwards, I reported the number to Action Fraud.

Some bloke called up saying he needed to access my PC remotely to 'remove viruses'. Sounded dodgy as anything.

This is a company line, and whenever I pick up and say who I am, the person on the other end just drops the call. They ring back over and over throughout the day. It's really frustrating!

As soon as he started talking about a computer, I just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from a bloke with a weird accent claiming he needed to get into my computer. Be careful, don’t let yourself get caught out by this sort of thing!

I received a call from a chap with an accent that hinted he wasn’t from around here, yet he spoke English without a hitch. He claimed my computer was apparently connected to the internet and downloading all sorts of things. He pressed me to switch on my computer, clearly trying to pull a fast one. Total scam!

I got a call where they tried to convince me to let them get into my computer online. Definitely a scam!
