Strangely, the number that popped up on my phone's screen didn’t match the one that actually showed in my call log (02880017777).

It seems these individuals are attempting to infiltrate your system with dubious intentions. I find it amusing to keep them engaged for a good hour before revealing that I’m an Apple user. It’s quite satisfying to squander their time as much as I can!

I kept saying the business name but got nothing back, just silence. So, I ended up hanging up.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Microsoft and that my computer had some kind of issue.

Upon arriving back at my residence, I noticed a call had supposedly been placed while I was out, indicated by a blinking light. There was no voicemail left, but I could tell someone had tried to get through to me. Curiosity got the best of me, so I called 1471 and discovered it was the number 0288017777 that had tried to reach me. With no recollection of anyone I knew associated with that digit sequence, I took to my iPad for a bit of investigation and came across this informative website. A heartfelt thanks to whoever you are! It seems I've dodged a potential scam, and I truly appreciate it.

I had a laugh messing about with them for about 10 mins. Like loads of others, they said they were from Microsoft but obviously they weren't. Bit of harmless fun winding them up really.

Received a call from 0731 on the 21st of March, 2017, and when I asked, "Can you speak English, if you’ve got the knack?" they promptly disconnected. Quite amusing, really! I wonder if the next one will be some sort of diversity brigade?

Today, I had a rather bothersome experience with a caller who rang me up not once, but twice. On the first occasion, they claimed to be from Microsoft and pressured me to perform certain actions on my computer. I firmly refused, expressing my scepticism about their identity, as they provided no verifiable proof. They seemed rather persistent, even asking to ring back later when my husband would be around, wanting to know his availability. I stood my ground, offering no details and decisively ended the call. Just two hours later, the same number contacted me again. This time, I made it clear that I wasn't going to entertain any of their questions. I reiterated that they were an unsolicited caller, and I had absolutely no intention of engaging with them or disclosing any personal information.

I just had an utterly dodgy phone call from what seemed to be a call centre based in the Indian subcontinent, pretending to represent Microsoft (which they certainly do not). They went on about some imaginary issue with my computer and urged me to download a so-called fix. Honestly, I wouldn't dream of following their ridiculous instructions! It's all a ruse designed to siphon off your financial details. Just steer clear of them - it’s a complete scam!

Got a call from a call centre in the Indian subcontinent claiming to be Microsoft, but it's totally fake. They try to convince you there's an issue with your PC and ask you to download some software to 'fix' it. Once you do, they basically steal your bank details. Please don’t fall for it - it’s a total scam.

They keep calling us relentlessly, and while we hang up each time, I can't help but wonder if there's any action the Fraud Department can take against them. It's unsettling to think about how many unsuspecting individuals might fall for their tricks and end up ensnared. This situation really ought to be addressed without delay.

I said hello but they didn’t answer or say anything back.
