10 yearsGot a call from Peter Smith pushing this classic line about my PC being hacked and offering to fix it for £75. I told him I don't even use a PC, I'm dealing with a mainframe instead. He then threatened to disconnect my computer if I didn’t pay straight away. I replied, go ahead, my client’s actually paying £1000 to anyone who successfully hacks our system. He hung up after that. I’m guessing he’s pretty annoyed since breaking into a mainframe would surely earn him a tidy sum. No calls from him since.Peter Smith10 yearsI received a call from a chap claiming to be Mark Anderson, supposedly from Microsoft. He informed me that my computer was supposedly involved in some dodgy online gambling activities and persuaded me to log in so he could ‘assist’ me in sorting it out. I was clever enough to jot down the number to ring him back. Would you believe it, he attempted to reach me again merely ten minutes later! Absolutely outrageous behaviour.Mark AndersonMicrosoft10 yearsSo, Benny Edwards rang me up, doing the usual hard sell, but got all confused trying to tell me which of my three computers was being hacked! Proper pushy bloke but clearly clueless about the details.Benny Edwards10 yearsJust like the others mentioned here, this bloke said his name was Benny Edwards, claiming he’s from Microsoft or something.Benny EdwardsMicrosoft10 yearsGot a call from someone named Richard Lewis claiming my computer was infected with a virus, typical Microsoft scam stuff. He gave me the number 02921286614 to ring back on, but the call actually came from 01276511788. It’s mad how these numbers keep popping up and nothing seems to be done to block them even after they’re exposed.Richard LewisMicrosoft10 yearsHad a look through the comments and pretty much everyone had the same vibe. They’re really forceful and try to scare you about hackers. Not nice at all.10 yearsGot a call from someone called "Kevin Marshall" who told my 83 year old mother-in-law that drugs were bought with her tablet. She said the tablet was just charging, and then he rang back. By then, I was there. The guy sounded convincing at first but turned nasty (shocking, right) when I questioned what he was up to. This happened on 29/08/16.Kevin Marshall10 yearsJust got the same call from some Asian bloke named Johnson. I asked him to explain what kind of error he was talking about, and he just kept going on. How do we put a stop to these calls? It's so annoying!Johnson10 yearsThis morning my mum, who's 86, got a phone call from someone called Kevin Marshall with an Indian accent. He claimed her computer was being used to buy drugs. She told him she doesn’t own a computer, only an iPad, but he insisted it was the iPad. They said someone named John Martin would ring next week to sort it out, and she had to put down a deposit on her card right away. She went ahead and paid it but rang me afterwards because she wasn’t convinced. Then she contacted her bank straight away to cancel the card and report the transaction.Kevin MarshallJohn Martin10 yearsThis morning I got a call from a guy called Kevin Marshall, who had a pretty strong Asian accent. He said he was ringing from Microsoft Reading and told me my computer was under threat from hackers. He asked me to turn on my PC so he could sort it out for me.Kevin MarshallMicrosoftReading10 yearsThey keep ringing every day, claiming to be from Microsoft. It's really annoying.Microsoft10 yearsSome bloke rang up saying he was from Microsoft, telling me my computer had been hacked last night and he needed to get on it straight away. I told him I didn’t even own a computer. He insisted there was one registered under my name in their system. I figured it must be my son’s, but he wasn’t around. I asked for his mobile number to speak to him urgently. When he refused, I asked for the number I could ring him back on instead, which he gave me. Then I asked where he was from, and he said their Microsoft head office in Reading.MicrosoftReading10 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from Microsoft, telling me my PC was hacked and involved in illegal gambling and dodgy stuff. He went on about helping me fix it, but after about 10 minutes of him going on, I told him my computer’s actually busted and sitting in bits up in the loft. That’s when he just hung up. Total con, don’t fall for it.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from a guy named "Henry" with an Asian accent saying my computer got hacked and he wanted to fix it. When I asked for his number, he said it was 01312282264, but after I hung up and checked my phone, the actual number that rang me was 02921286614. Definitely a scam, so watch out and don’t get tricked.Henry10 yearsJust got a phone call from someone claiming to be Microsoft, and they left this number to ring back. Be careful and avoid talking to them!Microsoft10 yearsSo my uncle just got a call from someone pretending to be from Microsoft, saying his computer was hacked. This guy, calling himself Alan Smith, had this strong Indian accent and kept trying to convince my uncle to pay for a licence to "lock" his computer. Turns out it was all a scam, trying to trick him into giving money or access. Luckily my uncle’s pretty tech-savvy and noticed all the red flags. Just a heads up to everyone - watch out for these kinds of calls, they’re total rubbish!MicrosoftAlan Smith10 yearsThis was such a horrible scam. Some bloke pretending to be Mark James from Microsoft scared my 88-year-old father-in-law into handing over his login details, saying his PC had been compromised. When I got there, the guy seemed to already have control of the computer and was trying to get payment info to "fix" the problem. I spoke to him and it was clear he was up to no good. After I ended the call, he rang back a few times and sounded annoyed. Now, my father-in-law’s computer is locked and asking for a password. I think I can fix it, but it’s been a really upsetting experience for him.Mark JamesMicrosoft10 yearsGot a phone call from someone named Sarah who said she was ringing from Microsoft about my computer being hacked. I asked her where she was calling from and she gave a Reading postcode, RG61 WT. She kept pushing me hard and when I said I'd ring back later, she really insisted I do it right away - definitely felt like a scam. Watch out, mate, because my mate got caught by one of these and when she wouldn't send over any cash, they ended up crashing her PC.SarahMicrosoftReading10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft and told me to ring 02921286614. However, the caller ID showed a Isle of Skye number, which definitely wasn’t theirs. Looks like they were messing about with the phone line to cover their tracks. Just a heads up to watch out for this sort of thing.MicrosoftIsle of Skye10 yearsI got a call from a guy with an asian accent claiming he worked for microsoft, telling me my computer was hacked. When i kept asking questions, he started sounding quite aggressive and warned that if i didn’t install the 'anti-hack' program he was trying to set up, he’d have to shut down my PC. Really unpleasant experience.Microsoft10 yearsMy grandpa got a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, this guy called Alan Smith with a strong Asian accent. He claimed my grandpa’s computer was hacked. I knew it was fishy but I pretended to go along with it for a bit. Just a heads up, watch out for stuff like this!MicrosoftAlan Smith10 yearsI got a phone call from 1267768900, someone claiming to be from Microsoft. She had a strong Indian accent and said my computer had been hacked, and she wanted to access it. But honestly, I couldn't really make out what she was saying because of the accent. Felt really dodgy, so I just told her to buzz off!Microsoft10 yearsReceived a call from 01481801151, the person sounded Asian and said they were from Microsoft. Claimed some hackers had taken control of my computer, then left me on hold. I didn't trust it at all and asked for proof that he really worked for Microsoft. He kept pushing me to switch on my PC so he could demonstrate my so-called “computer licence security ID,” which he swore only Microsoft and I knew about. I told him he’d need to show some real evidence first before I’d believe a word he said.Microsoft10 yearsThey tried to get my husband to install some "anti-hacking" program but it was a total scam to actually hack him. Thankfully, he's not very tech savvy so he didn't mess with our home PC at all! Lucky we caught that before anything bad happened.10 yearsi went through something really similar to what someone else mentioned here. the tricky part is when a guy, sounding asian, tells you to keep the call open while you ring your mobile to check something. they’re not from microsoft at all and don’t actually access your computer like they say. they’re just after getting in and nicking your info. will try to report this to the proper folks but not sure if it’ll get anywhere.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft, telling me hackers were accessing my computer. Seems like a total scam to me. I'm going to get in touch with Microsoft themselves to check.Microsoft10 yearsThis woman called claiming she was from Microsoft tech support. She told me my PC was riddled with viruses and insisted I switch it on so she could sort it out. The first number that showed up was some international code, 0191916 or something, but when I asked for her phone number she gave me 02921286614 instead. Definitely one of those scam calls.SarahMicrosoft10 yearsSomeone saying they were from Microsoft called me and offered to help me stop hackers from getting into my computer.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (029 2128 6614)
