I received a call inquiring whether my computer was functioning properly. I replied in the affirmative, and he swiftly ended the call. I kind of regret not saying it wasn't working, just to see how he'd respond!

An Indian gentleman claimed he required access to my computer to fix a supposed security problem. It was clearly a fraud, so I ended the call. He proceeded to call back three more times! Honestly, why haven't the authorities taken action? There have been numerous complaints about this.

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.

I received a call from a gentleman with an Indian accent claiming to represent Global Tech Support. He insisted there was an issue with Windows every time I used my computer. However, as a devoted Apple user, I recognised immediately that this was a ruse. Stay alert, everyone!

I received a call from this number earlier today, but it disconnected as soon as I picked up. It showed up as an international call on my device. Curiosity got the better of me, so I searched through my phone’s records to find the digit and discovered some alarming reports about it. Thankfully, my phone has a call blocking feature, so I’ve gone ahead and used it to prevent any future nuisance.

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.

The number 02983688546 rang me today just after midday. A gentleman named 'William', who had quite a noticeable Indian accent, was on the line claiming to be from Microsoft. That really set off alarm bells for me. I informed him that I would be reporting him to the authorities before hanging up, yet he proceeded to call me repeatedly afterwards, each time going unanswered on my part.

I received a call from a gentleman with an Indian accent who inquired about the condition of my computer, claiming to represent a tech firm whose name I might have misheard.

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.

Here we go again - received a call from someone purporting to be from IT support, insisting that my computer had some corrupted files. When I probed for the name of the company, he was rather vague and only mentioned it was based in Birmingham. I decided to end the conversation there. Best steer clear of this one!

Just had a random call from this number about ten minutes back. We're a computer repair business located in Glasgow, and it seems we're not alone in this. Several of our clients here have mentioned they've been contacted by folks claiming to be from 'Microsoft Technical Support' lately. It looks like they're currently targeting numbers in the Glasgow area. Honestly, your best bet is to just hang up on them.

I had a chap with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft calling me up. He kept saying my computer was riddled with errors, which it wasn’t. Seriously, do they think I'm gullible enough to fall for that? I've had enough, so I’ve blocked their number.

Cheers to everyone in this community! I must say, your insights have been utterly invaluable. That pesky phone call jolted me from my slumber, so I missed the opportunity to have a chat with the chap who had an Indian accent. Much like the individual preparing dinner, I tend to inform these bothersome callers to hang tight for a moment while I fetch the door, and I keep them on the line until my phone battery decides to give up the ghost. Quite amusing, isn't it? They certainly deserve it! I completely resonate with the person who pointed out that these folks take advantage of those who are more vulnerable. Absolutely appalling!

I encountered a rather intrusive individual yesterday. Being an unlisted number myself, I was curious about how he had sourced my digits. His response? He claimed it was obtained through my IP address! I promptly told him, rather firmly, to take a hike!

I reckon this number ought to be flagged. I’m a director, so I’m quite puzzled as to how they got hold of my digits. I simply can’t be doing with these nuisance scam calls. Luckily, I let my voicemail pick up, and they hung up without leaving a message. Thank goodness for that!

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.

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.

What a daft call I received today regarding ‘tech support for computer troubles’... I firmly asked him to clarify his reason, and he just cut off the line. Such a timid little chap, is he! I pondered giving him a ring back for a bit of fun, but honestly, it's just not worth the hassle, time, or expense!

I received a rather curious call from this number earlier today. An individual with a distinct Indian accent claimed to be from IT support, insisting that there was an issue with my computer. Now, considering I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service and my number is ex-directory, I was quite baffled as to how he managed to obtain my details or any information about my PC. Before I could properly respond, he abruptly ended the call, which I find quite telling. It’s obvious they’re preying on those who may be unsuspecting or a bit more vulnerable. My suggestion to anyone would be to steer clear of engaging with such unsolicited callers; it's the best way to avoid being taken advantage of. Cheers, Jenny.

I received a cheeky call yesterday, and the bloke on the other end insisted I turn my computer on. I kept him waiting while I pretended to rummage for it. Meanwhile, I shoved dinner in the oven and made up an excuse about the computer being out of battery. He then prompted me to locate the charger, but I ended up tossing some chips in the oven instead. Honestly, I couldn’t find it anywhere! He mentioned he’d ring back today to see if I’d managed to track it down, but I told him my flatmate has it and won’t be back until Friday. I suppose he’ll be getting a callback then! It’s quite amusing playing them at their own tricks!

I recently received a rather unsettling call from a chap claiming to be from Windows or Microsoft, with an Indian accent, no less. When I inquired how he obtained my number, he started rambling about my computer. It escalated quickly; he became rather hostile and threatened to shut my computer down and create chaos. To make matters worse, he resorted to swearing at me and my family, even hurling nasty comments about our Pakistani background, saying he would come and cause harm. Quite an appalling experience, to say the least!

I find myself facing the same issue with calls that abruptly disconnect, and when I attempt to return the call, it tells me the number doesn’t exist. A mate from BT once informed me that these silent calls are usually made by autodialers trying to sift through and find active numbers. Sure enough, a proper voice call often follows. I must say, thanks to this website, I won’t hold back if that nuisance rings me again! In the past, I’ve had a bit of fun answering such calls by mentioning my local constabulary - it’s quite amusing! Cheers for the tips!

Once he started talking about my computer, I decided to terminate the call, especially since my phone number isn't publicly available.

I've had a rather irritating experience this evening with this particular number, which has rung me not once, but twice. Each time I answer, they promptly disconnect.

I received a phone call around 7:45 this evening from someone who sounded foreign. They claimed that my computer was riddled with a serious virus and insisted that I turn it on immediately. I explained that I couldn't do that at the moment since I had comprehensive Norton 360 protection installed. The caller dismissed that, saying it was ineffective. When I pressed him for my name-after all, if he was genuinely representing Microsoft, he should know-I caught him off guard, and he quickly fumbled for an excuse. I told him to ring back at the same time tomorrow as I was sceptical about the legitimacy of his claims. After doing some reading on this number, it’s clear that it was a scam.

What a con! Received a call from someone claiming they could ascertain the sluggishness of my computer remotely, all in a bid to flog me a so-called 'cleanup' service. The chap barely got to the point where he asked, "Am I right in my assessment?" to which I shot back, "Not at all-there's no way you can access my computer and this is nothing but a scam!" After that, he abruptly ended the call.
