9 yearsGot a call that said it was from Microsoft, but halfway through a bloke claiming to be a manager took over the line, saying he wanted to get into our computer. My missus played along for a bit, then finally mentioned our PC was actually 85 miles away. He didn’t take it well and started shouting loads of awful stuff before just hanging up.Microsoft9 yearsThis number 02617740006 (I think it was a Manchester one once) has been ringing me for ages on and off. I always wonder how they actually get hold of these numbers in the first place. If anyone’s been ripped off by them, surely the fraud squad could do something about it? But seems like no one bothers. They always call at the most awkward times as well. It annoys me that phone providers, the authorities, or even the government don’t seem to care enough to block these nuisance calls properly. Still nothing gets done, as usual.Manchester9 yearsI got a ring from these folks earlier, and figured it was one of those dodgy calls. So, I blasted my music and held the phone right next to the speaker. They hung up pretty quick after that, haha!9 yearsGot a ring from them earlier, but luckily I wasnt in. After reading what others said, glad I missed it. I've posted about it on Facebook now.Facebook9 yearsSomebody rang me saying they was from Microsoft and that my computer was at risk. I told him I’ve got three computers, so which one was he talking about? Then he just started yelling at me, proper rude and pushy.Microsoft9 yearsI got a call on my house phone from 02617740006. The person said they were calling from Microsoft. I told them that the number they used isn’t a Microsoft number, which I checked. They asked me how I knew so quickly, and I told them I work in IT support. After that, they said I didn’t sound like I knew anything and just cut the call straight away. Seems like they don’t want to waste time on anyone who actually understands computers - best to bluff if you have to!Microsoft CorporationMicrosoft9 yearsMy 94 year old dad got a call at 7:40 in the morning on a Saturday from these bloody idiots, waking him up! He doesn’t even own a computer. I wish there was a way to track them down and sort something drastic, like drone strikes! Honestly, nothing else ever seems to put an end to their calls.9 yearsGot a call claiming to be from Microsoft saying there’s a problem with my computer. The person was really pushy and quite rude too. Definitely made me feel uncomfortable.Microsoft9 yearsI didnt answer properly and this guy got really rude, told me to just hang up quick!9 yearsI got this call from someone claiming there’s an issue with my computer, but it’s definitely a scam. When I said no to turning on my PC for ‘help’, he got pretty pushy and even warned he’d cancel my licence. Not buying it at all, felt quite threatening.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft about my computer. Even after I put the phone down and asked them not to ring me again, they've called me three times today. It's really annoying!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (026 1774 0006)
