I got a call from some guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from Microsoft, saying my computer was having issues. I played along for a bit, then said I don’t even own a computer. He didn't take that well and told me to shove off before hanging up. Made me chuckle, but honestly, I wish I’d been the one to tell him off first!

I answered the phone and there was loads of noise in the background, then some Asian bloke said he was ringing about my computer. I asked, "What do you want about my computer?" and he just hung up. I checked the number here and, no shocker, it’s a scam!

Some bloke was trying to get into my computer, right? I just kept chatting away for ages, then suddenly stopped talking. Reckon he wasn’t too happy about that…

My missus got a call from some bloke claiming he was with Microsoft, saying her computer was about to shut down or something. She handed the phone over to me, and I asked who I was speaking to. The guy just started shouting, asking if I couldn't understand English. I told him to mind his manners and asked why he was yelling at me, then hung up straight away. Proper scam, that is. If I catch him, I’ll give him what for.

This number just rang me, some bloke with an Indian accent trying to get me to use my computer. I wasn’t having any of it and told him off. They’ve tried a few more times already, so I’m just going to block it now.

Today I got rung twice by this number saying they were from Windows. First time I told them to call me back as I needed to have a word with my brother. When they phoned again I told them I thought it was a scam and mentioned I’d be contacting the police, then they just dropped the call.

Got a call from an Asian lady claiming there was something wrong with my computer. I acted like I was following her instructions, just going along with it. Then I told her I was actually a computer engineer working for Microsoft. Guess what? She hung up straight away! Honestly, it's crazy how these scammers keep slipping through without any consequences.

Scammers claiming Windows PC help kept ringing me up. I just kept telling them I don’t even own a computer! Hopefully that’ll put them off for good.

This number has rung me up three times today, each call from someone with an Asian accent saying they can sort out my computer issues. I told them 'no thank you' on two occasions and ended the calls, but they just kept calling back. By the third call, I was fed up and told them to basically buzz off.

This number just rang me up, it was some guy with an Asian accent, kept refusing to talk to my partner and was dead set on chatting with me instead. After digging around a bit, I reckon the only company that might have my details as the “boss lady” is... wait for it... SKY. So now I’m wondering if SKY’s gone and shared our info with other companies, which would explain all these annoying calls. Funny enough, all our other bills are under my partner’s name and he never gets hassled. Just something to think about, really.

Claimed she was from Microsoft, but as soon as I told her she wasn't and asked how she sleeps at night scamming honest folks out of their cash, she just ended the call.

Got a ring from someone with a weird foreign accent trying to hack into my computer. I told him “do you think I’m daft or summat?” and hung up straight away. Since then, I’ve had two more calls from the same number - all I hear is him saying “hello” loads, some strange noise behind and then he just starts laughing before ending the call. Weird!

I was under the impression that the government had put a stop to these annoying calls. Who even are these people? Every time I try asking where they got my phone number, they just hang up on me. It’s so frustrating!

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent saying he was John Carter from Windows about an issue with my computer. He wanted to know who the owner was, so I said Father Christmas. Then he asked who uses it the most, and I told him Mickey Mouse. When I started chuckling, he just ended the call!

02920852883 has rung me twice this month. They claim to be from Windows support and say there's an issue with my computer. The strange thing is, my PC wasn't even on at the time. I played along with the call, hoping to see what they'd do next, but after about 20 minutes, the line just went dead on them.

For the past month, I’ve been getting calls almost daily from some bloke in India who keeps trying to trick me into letting him take over my PC. It’s really starting to get on my nerves. Surely there’s a way to block this nonsense once and for all?

I couldn’t answer the call, but I’ve put the number straight onto my block list now.

I got a call from a guy who sounded Asian, said he was ringing from Reading. I told him he wasn’t, as the number on my phone was from overseas. Then he got rude and called me “old and stupid just like your phone!” before slamming the phone down. He claimed my computer was downloading some dodgy stuff because of the way Windows was set up, but I couldn’t see anything. Weird and annoying!

They've been ringing nonstop all day but never bother to leave a message. I finally picked up today and there was just silence on the other end. Honestly, I'm just ignoring them from now on. Really glad my phone shows me who's calling before I even think about answering!

Some guy with an Asian accent called, said his name was John Carter. He was going on about ‘your home computer with Windows’ - totally trying to pull a scam. I’ve got a recording of it, saved one of those calls as proof!

Today (08/02/16) I got a call from someone called David John claiming to be from Windows. He said there was a problem or a virus on my PC and asked me to switch it on so he could ‘fix it’. I told him I wasn’t going to do that and warned I’d report the number 02920852883 to both Microsoft and the fraud cops, just like other dodgy calls I’ve had before.

I attempted to discuss our computer, but the moment we mentioned we were handing the phone to our son-in-law, they abruptly disconnected the call.
