They messaged me threatening legal action because I supposedly hadn’t paid for some stuff. They even played back a recording, which they’d somehow recorded earlier, where they claimed I gave permission for orders I never made. They sent fake emails too, with wrong delivery info at the top but then the right details about me further down - pretty sneaky. Don’t open those emails or click any links! I didn’t, and instead forwarded the unopened email straight to Action Fraud UK (City of London Police) and also informed my bank's fraud team.

Watch out for this one. I got a call with loads of noise in the background and someone with an Asian accent asked if I could hear them, so I said yeah. I was waiting for an important call so I picked up thinking it was that, but then the person said they were from Microsoft, so I just hung up straight away. The day after, our local newspaper shared a story from the Police Authority warning about a scam where the caller asks if you can hear them, and the police say the best thing is to just not answer and hang up.

So basically, if you say yes on a call, your voice gets recorded electronically. After that, you might start getting scam emails telling you about purchases you supposedly made. If you question the email, and you click any link (which you really shouldn’t), they’ll play back a clip of you saying yes to different orders. It's all pretty sneaky and scary, so watch out and don’t open those emails or click anything.

If you ever say yes on a call, they can record your voice digitally and later send you scam emails about things you supposedly bought. Now, if you question these messages, and, I advise you not to click any links in those emails, they might play back your own voice saying yes to all these fake orders. It's a sneaky trick I wouldn’t fall for.

Today I got a call from this number. I asked the bloke twice where he was calling from cause I couldn't catch it, and he told me to fuck off three times! He said his name was Albert and claimed he was ringing about my Microsoft computer.

I got a call from 02356497987 from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, saying they needed to access my computer remotely. Absolutely do not trust it, it's a total scam!!!

This number rang me three times on my work phone. When I finally picked up, a guy named Kenneth was asking about my computer. He wanted to know if I was the primary user, but when I asked him what it was all regarding, he just ended the call. Bit weird, really.

Got a call from this number, they left some robotic message claiming to be HMRC, saying the tax office is taking me to court and I need to ring back immediately. Absolute rubbish if you ask me. How on earth do these scammy people evade consequences? There should be proper laws with real jail time for these types. I’d totally support that. It’s just plain scary and such unwelcome harassment!!!!!!

Got a call earlier today from this number, some bloke claiming my PC was downloading nasty stuff that would ruin it. He said he worked for Microsoft and my Windows was in danger. I hung around for a bit, but once he asked if I was near my computer so he could fix it remotely, I got fed up with the rubbish and told him to pass the message along to someone who actually owns a Microsoft device - which I don’t. He instantly hung up on me.

Over the last few days, this number kept ringing me, nearly 20 times missed calls, so I finally picked up. A guy started saying he was from Windows support and had this wild story about my PC being packed with viruses or some malware. He then asked to remotely access my laptop. I told him straight I didn’t believe him and that I'm actually a cop, and without a word of farewell, he just ended the call. Either Microsoft’s support team has gone downhill or this was someone trying to mess with my computer.

I've received four calls from this number today. Each time I answered, there was nothing but silence, followed by the line disconnecting. A couple of weeks back, I dealt with a dodgy Microsoft support call, so I'm beginning to suspect these might be the same con artists trying their luck again.

They keep ringing non stop. The moment my answer machine picks up, they just cut off. Honestly, I'm so done with it now.

Total rip off! They've rung my old folks three times already. The people on the line sounded Indian and were trying to con them into handing over bank, credit, or debit card info by claiming there are fake viruses on their computers. They keep saying they're with Microsoft or something like that.

Got a call from this bloke today, and instead of trying to pitch me something, he just went on a complete tirade, swearing and being downright rude for a good 10 minutes. I left him on the line because I didn’t want him bothering anyone else. Proper unpleasant character, honestly.

Some bloke called me saying his name was Alex and that he was ringing about windows. The connection was awful, so I kept telling him I couldn’t hear properly. Then he tried me back loads of times from different numbers, clearly trying to sweet-talk info out of me. You’d expect these scammers to invest in a decent phone line, but I reckon they’re nicking coms from somewhere else so they can’t be tracked. Numbers with Northern Ireland codes seem to be a favourite for them!

Since yesterday, I've been flooded with scam calls from three different numbers. This last one was the most recent. I played along for a bit before warning him I was contacting the police to track the call. He quickly turned nasty, started swearing, and then just ended the call. Hopefully, he gets what’s coming to him.

I got a call around midday from someone claiming to be from Windows, saying there were serious issues with my PC. They asked me to get on my computer so they could guide me through fixing it, but I just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, but it turned out to be a scam from India. Be careful!

A bunch of con artists, if you ask me. When I mentioned involving the police, he became all mouthy on the line. What a bunch of dimwits!

Got a call from someone saying they were with the Windows team. Total scam, don’t trust it!

Sounds like they’re fishing for your bank info and all that stuff.

For the last couple of days, our office has been getting calls from people claiming to be Microsoft. They say they need to get into the user's computer. I just tell them I’m waiting for my PC to start up, then leave the phone beside me and keep with my work.

Got a call from this number just now, and the bloke was telling me my computer was getting a virus downloaded or something. Pretty soon I clocked it was a scam, so I played along for a bit. I acted like I was doing what he said, without actually touching my PC, obviously. Then when he asked what I was seeing on the screen, I said nothing at all. That set him off proper bad - it ended with him shouting loads of swear words and threats! Honestly, don’t pick up if this number rings you.

When I answered the phone, there was nothing but silence. Not long after, I received a call from someone named Victor, claiming to be from Windows support, insisting there was an issue with my computer. I immediately recognised this as a scam and wisely chose to ignore his directives regarding my computer. The number appeared as unknown when I checked with 1471, and it definitely came through shortly after the previous call.

For the past week, I've been getting calls from this number around 8:20 every morning. Today was the first time I picked up and just croaked a quick 'hello'. There was no sound at all, just dead silence, then it hung up after about 5 seconds. Seeing the reviews here reminded me that a few weeks back I once answered during the afternoon and it was someone with an Indian accent talking about Microsoft, so I ended the call straight away. They’re definitely shady, and honestly, it’s really irritating.

Avoid these people, it's a total con trick. They come up with some nonsense about malware from Microsoft and try to hack into your computer. Best thing is to notify the police about them.

I've received three calls from this number in the past week. Every time, I've made it clear that I'm not interested. During the latest call, I requested him to verify my name, and he mistakenly called me Sheila! That's definitely not right. He then just terminated the call.

Definitely steer clear of these folks, it's gotta be a scam for sure. No question about it.

For the past couple of months, I swear this number has been blowing up my phone nearly every single day. It’s really wearing me out. Instead of snapping at them, I decided to answer the phone the 6th time in a day but spoke to them in Welsh, not English. They hung up straight away and I didn’t hear from them again for almost three weeks. Of course, now they’re back at it again. I honestly don’t get how people stand this nonsense. These scammers are the worst.

Beware of this number, as it's a dodgy scam! They were attempting to extract sensitive information from my computer. Honestly, just hang up on them! They’ll feign being from Microsoft, but it's all a ruse to breach your security. Stay vigilant!

It was pretty obvious this call came from somewhere like India, judging by the accent. He started with a "how are you today?" I answered back with "who’s this?" (I'm on the do-not-call list and my number's ex-directory). Then he went on about my computer needing attention or something. I just told him to buzz off and hung up. Sorted!

I got a call on Saturday (4th Feb 2017) and again this morning (6th Feb) from someone claiming to be with MS. They were saying my computer had errors showing up. When I asked where they got my number from, they just hung up on me. Don’t share any info with these folks, it’s definitely a scam.

Got a ring from this number earlier today, some guy with an accent said he wanted to talk about my computer. I instantly saw through the usual scam and, not in the best mood, told him to jog on and ended the call straight away.

this week ive gotten phone calls almost everyday from folks saying they are with microsoft, and today alone ive been rung up 3 times, 2 of which were from this very number. they try to trick you into turning your computer on so they can "help" remove viruses or malware. seriously dont fall for it, once they get access, they can steal all your personal info. be careful out there!

I got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft saying there was some sort of virus on my computer? Seems dodgy to me.

Got a call where not a word was spoken. Honestly, it was pretty unsettling.

got a call off a guy, sounded asian, said he worked for windows support. i told him he was trying to scam me and just ended the call straight away.

got a call from a bloke named robert, sounded asian or something. he claimed he was from microsoft support but was proper nasty. he swore at me twice, told me to f##k off and then called me a stupid f#####9 woman before just hanging up. this kind of behaviour has to be dealt with, it really upset me.
