8 yearsSo the caller said something about Microsoft, right? I jokingly answered, “what, do you think I paddled up the Clyde in some banana boat?” Next thing you know she got all nasty. Definitely not the best way to mess with a Scotsman!MicrosoftClyde8 yearsIt was apparently someone claiming to be from Microsoft. I just blew my referee’s whistle really loud and it stopped them. That usually does the trick for me. I’d suggest trying that if you get the same call.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Microsoft. Knew it was dodgy so just ended the call straight away. Scammers these days, so annoying!Microsoft8 yearsGot a call around 8.24 in the morning from some muppet pretending to be with Microsoft. I said I wasn't interested, but the cheeky bloke rang back right away, threatening to wreck my computer unless I helped him out. I just told him cheers for the warning and mentioned I’d tracked his number. Haven’t heard from him since. At least it was a good reminder to back up my files before going online again - silver lining to that annoying start to the day!Microsoft8 yearsI got a call from someone named ‘Julie’ claiming to be from Microsoft, but she had a really strong foreign accent. Can anyone take a guess what kind it was? I’ve already sent the number off to the Information Commissioner’s Office.JulieMicrosoftInformation Commissioner ' s Office8 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft - total scam!Microsoft8 yearsProperly awful experience. They tricked my dad into downloading software that let them control his computer, then convinced him to log into his online banking because they claimed “Microsoft” had mistakenly sent him £4000. They pressured him really hard to "return" the money and even made him go to the Post Office to hand over the cash. After two hours, he was completely upset and finally ended the call. We had to cancel every one of his cards, spend ages cleaning up his PC, and eventually got the police involved.MicrosoftPost Office8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, said they were calling me from Reading. I kept the guy chatting for like half an hour by saying my PC was busy installing updates. I even told him I was confused how every one of my devices had the exact same 'unique' ID. He eventually gave up when I mentioned I was looking up some weird info online about this 888DCA60-FC0A-11CF-8F0F-00C04FD7D062 thing.MicrosoftReading8 yearsHad a call from a woman with a Pakistani accent claiming there was a major problem with my mum’s computer.

He said he was from Microsoft and that there was an issue with my PC that he wanted to sort out. I told him I wasn’t convinced and just hung up. There were also two more calls today that I didn’t pick up.BrianMicrosoft8 yearsI've had three calls from this number today, and honestly, the other reviews are spot on. When the bloke on the line saw I wasn't biting, he got a bit annoyed. Cheers for the help sorting this out!8 yearsThis idiot called me once more just a few minutes ago, third time now after I already told them I don’t own a PC or anything related to Microsoft. They said I’m on their list and they’ll keep ringing until I do what they want. When I told them I don’t have a computer, they just hung up on me.Microsoft8 yearsThis number kept ringing me for about three days straight with silent calls. When I finally answered, the bloke said it was Microsoft. I told him I don’t have a computer and have no clue how to use one, then just ended the call.Microsoft8 yearsI had already found out that this number was linked to scam calls, so I went ahead and blocked it through BT's Call Protect. Just looked at my call history and, funny enough, it's been stopped from ringing me three times today.BT8 yearsA bloke rang up claiming he was from Microsoft.

I got fed up, told him to jog on, and ended the call.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call at 8.53 this morning from a bloke claiming to be with Microsoft.

Seriously, this sort of pestering needs to end!Microsoft8 yearsA woman called and quickly asked if I was the account holder before passing me on to a bloke. I asked him what computer he was referring to, but he snapped that it wasn't important. Then he started rattling off some sort of security code, telling me to turn my computer on. I ended the call right there, but he rang back a couple of times threatening to disable all my gadgets.8 yearsFirst, a woman rang me up asking if I was the primary user of my computer. I told her to bugger off, as I’m aware of these kinds of scams.

He called me a liar and just hung up. About an hour later, the same number called back. I repeated I don’t have a PC, and he just cut me off straight away. Looked up the number and saw it was listed here.Microsoft8 yearsIf I get a call from a number I don’t recognise, I just don’t pick up and then check it here. It’s pretty handy, and the feedback usually shows that ignoring was the right move. So, looks like this number is just another dodgy scammer. Cheers for this site!8 yearsGot a call from some bloke asking for my husband by name, claiming he was from Microsoft. I said we wasn’t interested and put the phone down. Then he called back right away, saying "Mrs D, we’re about to shut your computer down." I told him to get lost and hung up again. He rang once more straight away but I just ignored it.MicrosoftD8 yearsGot a call earlier from a woman claiming to be with Microsoft. I just ended the call straight away.

Then she suddenly used my full name and said, “I’m going to take your computer down for now, goodbye.” Proper dodgy!Microsoft8 yearsSome bloke with a thick accent said he was from Microsoft. When I asked where he was ringing from, he answered, “Reading business park”. I pointed out that his number showed Northern Ireland, but he just brushed past that and kept going with his spiel. I then told him I hadn’t agreed to get calls like this and mentioned something about GDPR rules - maybe stretched the truth a bit, but if he’s trying to scam me, I’m not exactly going to be honest! He ended up hanging up.MicrosoftNorthern Ireland8 yearsGot a missed call from 02870402518 on my landline, but no voicemail left.
