My computer suddenly locked up and started blaring a loud warning about a virus, insisting I ring some Microsoft support number, which was 02830440651, I think. Right from the beginning, I knew something was off, but I foolishly let him take over my computer. Then he started asking for my personal info and demanded £10 for some virus protection. That’s when I grabbed another laptop to check the phone number online. I quickly stopped what he was doing on my main computer, which clearly annoyed him, and he just hung up on me.

My laptop suddenly made this awful noise and the screen just froze. A warning popped up claiming to be from the Microsoft tech support team, telling me to ring them for assistance. The number was 028 3044 0651, which I later found on this site's scam list. The bloke on the phone, calling himself David Logan, seemed legit at first, as he appeared to be showing virus info on my screen. But I got wary when he asked for my card details to "buy" new virus software, so I didn’t go ahead with it. Watch out, folks!

Got a call from a 0283 number, but they keep switching the digits. Claimed to be from HMRC or Amazon. Just a heads up, these organisations never ring you up directly. It's definitely a scam, so watch out - could be risky.

I have been receiving multiple calls from numbers within the series: 02837 and 02838. However, these calls disconnect as soon as my answering machine kicks in, which indicates that they are most likely scam or bothersome cold-calls. Interestingly, all of these numbers seem to be associated with Magrathea Telecommunications Ltd, located at Unit 5 Commerce Park, Brunel Road, Theale, RG7 4AB.

Got calls from 0283 and loads other numbers, all pretending to be from Amazon saying something about refunds or Prime memberships. Honestly, just don’t press 1 to talk to anyone - they’ll try and rob you blind! Absolute scammers.

I usually just block those annoying calls when random numbers show up. I don’t even bother picking up. Phone providers aren’t keen on stopping them since they profit from all these calls, so nothing will change anyway.

Got calls from a bunch of numbers all starting with 0283, about four times today. Each time it's the same recorded voice saying someone used my Amazon account to buy an iPad and to press 1 to get my money back. Total scam! They’re pretty sneaky, swapping the digits after the 0283 so if you block one, another rings through. Really annoying.

I got a call from 02838 831153, it was dead silent at first. Then some bloke started shouting, asking for someone I'd never heard of. He went on calling me a lying brexit voter and something about lady parts? When I told him he’d got the wrong number, you could tell whoever’s teaching these guys at that boiler room needs to do a better job.

The call from 02838 831153 was dead silent at first, then suddenly some bloke started shouting, demanding to talk to a person I don’t even know. He went on calling me a lying, Brexit-supporting woman or something daft like that. When I told him he’d got the wrong number, it was clear their training at that call centre is awful.
