Somebody called me asking if my computer was alright. I told them it was fine, and then they just ended the call. Kinda wish I had said it wasn’t, just to see what they’d try next.

Got a call from an Indian guy claiming there was a security problem with my computer and he needed to get in to fix it. Obviously felt like a scam, so I just ended the call. He didn't give up though - phoned me back three times! I really don't get why the cops haven’t cracked down on this, theres been loads of complaints already!

This number, 02983688546, called me earlier claiming to be from Microsoft. The guy said my PC was slow because of some corrupted files. I told him my computer was working fine, but he insisted that if not fixed, it would completely shut down eventually. Then he said he’d connect me to Microsoft tech support to sort it out. I wasn’t buying it and told him straight away that I thought it was a scam. I asked who he thought he was messing about, ringing people up and trying to con them. When I kept asking who he really worked for, he just got annoyed and hung up.

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent claiming he’s from Global Tech Support. He kept saying there was something wrong with my Windows every time I used my PC. But since I run an Apple computer, I knew straight away it was a scam. Just a heads up to be careful!

Got a call from this number earlier today but as soon as I picked up they just ended the call. It showed up on my phone as coming from abroad. I searched the number in my call log, then did a quick check online and found some warnings about it. Luckily, I can block numbers on my phone, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.

I just got a call from the same number, told the bloke to buzz off and that he was a total spammer before slamming the phone down. A minute later he called back shouting all sorts of rubbish, so I let him have it back with plenty of choice words about him and his family.

Absolute scam artists!!! Such a blatant trick preying on people who just wanna be helpful. I always keep an eye out for dodgy calls like this and could tell straight away this number was dodgy. A relative of mine fell for something similar and it ended up costing them loads. "Corrupt PC?" Nah, the real crooks are those creeps who scare folks just to rip them off! The bloke cut me off as soon as he saw I wasn’t falling for his nonsense.

So, just around 5:40pm on the 28th of November 2014, this bloke called and started off by asking how I was doing. I turned the question back on him, and he sounded a bit thrown off for a second. Then, out of the blue, he wanted to know about my computer and internet. I responded all cheerful-like, saying they were both top-notch and definitely nothing to worry about. After that, I just ended the call.

I got a call from 02983688546 earlier today around 12:05. The bloke said his name was William and spoke with an Indian accent. He also brought up Microsoft, which instantly set off alarm bells for me. I told him I’d be reporting him to the cops and hung up. After that, he tried calling me a few more times, but I just didn’t pick up.

About 6:20 this evening, I got a call from 02983688546. As normal, I answered and said hello, but after a few seconds the caller hung up. When I dialled back, an automated message said the number didn't exist. Honestly, watch out for this - it’s definitely a scam. Trust me, I’ve fallen for similar rubbish before and it’s a nightmare you don’t want to go through. These sorts of crooks are the worst kind of people, and it feels like no one can stop them.

About 10 mins ago this number called me out of the blue. I run a computer repair biz here in Glasgow and loads of local folks have told us they got calls lately from people claiming to be 'Microsoft Tech Support'. Seems they’re using Glasgow numbers right now. Honestly, just hang up straight away, it’s probably a scam.

Thanks to everyone here, this was really useful. The call actually woke me up, so I didn’t get a chance to chat with the guy who sounded like he was from India. Like someone else mentioned about their dinner, I normally tell these annoying callers to wait while I get the door, then leave them on hold until my phone dies. Haha, they totally deserve it. I also agree with the person who said these scammers target the vulnerable - it’s really awful!

So, yesterday this bloke rings me claiming he's from some computer tech support. I just told him to jog on and hung up straight away - didn’t buy it for a second. Haven't heard from him since, thank goodness. But if he tries again, I reckon I’ll mess about with him a bit, maybe keep him chatting and wasting his time instead.

So this bloke rang me claiming he was with "THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF MY COMPUTER" or summat like that. I just found it hilarious and burst out laughing, then he quickly ended the call. What a muppet!

Had a bit of a laugh with the bloke who rang me. Let him chat away for a bit before I hit him with some harsh facts. Idiots like that really get on my nerves, and can you believe he was the one swearing at me? If you're looking into this number, whatever you do, don’t fall for their tricks.

Got a ring from this number earlier, some bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from IT support about an issue with my computer. I’m ex-directory and on the TPS list, so I asked him how he even got hold of my number and how he supposedly knew about my PC. Before I could finish, he just cut me off and hung up first. Definitely just trying to catch out people who might be trusting or not so savvy. My tip: don’t bother talking to cold callers at all if you want to avoid being scammed. Susan

Yesterday this bloke rang me sayin’ I had to turn on my computer or summat. I just kept him waitin while I "looked" around... stuck dinner in the oven at the same time. Told him my flat was spotty, he then harped on about finding the charger. Chucked some chips in the oven, still couldn’t find it. He said he’d phone again today to check if I’d got it. Told him my mate borrowed it and won’t be back till Friday. Haha, reckon he’s gonna call again alright! Gotta play these scammy types at their own game.

Some bloke with an Indian accent rang me, claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows. When I asked where he found my number, he just said it was about my computer. Suddenly, he got really rude and started threatening to shut down my PC and mess things up. Then, he began swearing at me and my family, calling us Pakistanis and making nasty threats about coming to harm us. Proper unpleasant call.

I’ve been getting these calls that drop right away and when I try to ring back it says the number doesn’t exist. A mate who works at BT told me it’s usually robodiallers checking which numbers are live. Apparently, after that, they usually follow up with an actual recorded message. Cheers to this site for the heads-up - if they call and actually talk, I’m not gonna be nice! From dealing with dodgy calls before, it’s quite amusing to pick up and say you’re calling from the local police!

As soon as he started talking about my computer, I just ended the call. My number isn’t even in any public directory, plus I'm registered with the TPS (Telephone Preference Service).

This evening I got a call from 02983688546 where some bloke claimed my computer was full of viruses. He wanted me to turn my computer on right away so he could sort it out, saying he worked for Microsoft. I told him I’ve got Norton Security but he kept saying it wouldn’t protect me. Feels like a scam to me, any advice?

Got a call from this number a couple of times tonight. Each time, as soon as I answer, they just hang up on me. I tried ringing back to see who it might be, but it says the number doesn’t exist. Can someone look into this? Really strange situation!

Around 7.45 tonight, I got a call from someone with a foreign accent saying my computer had a serious virus and I needed to turn it on immediately. I told him I couldn’t do that and that I already had Norton 360 protecting my PC. He insisted that my security was useless. I asked for his name, thinking that if he was really from Microsoft, he should know it. He dodged the question and came up with some lame excuse. I told him to ring me again at the same time tomorrow because I wasn’t sure if what he was saying was legit. After seeing others’ comments about this number, I now realise it was definitely a scam.

Total scam. This bloke claimed he could tell my computer was running slow and wanted to sell me some "clean-up service". He got as far as asking, "Am I right with this diagnosis?" I told him, "No way, you can't even see my PC and this sounds like a con," then he just slammed the phone down.
