My mum, who's a bit on the older side, got a rather dodgy call today. Luckily, I happened to pick up the phone, hung up promptly, and then made sure to block that number straight away.

"I just received a so-called 'urgent' call claiming that my Windows licence has run out. I barely let them get more than a word in before I hung up! We’re completely offline at home, and my PHONE serves as my only means of getting anything done. It's a blatant scam, plain and simple!"

My aunt was targeted by a dodgy caller who attempted to swindle her. I advised her not to return the call—it's clearly a scam.

Received a call labelled “Emergency Call” supposedly from Microsoft. It follows the same annoying pattern as others I've encountered. They claimed my Windows license had expired, yet I don’t even use Windows! Just brushed it off and ended the call.

This is a dodgy scam pretending to be Microsoft. Best to block the number and end the call immediately. Just a heads-up, Microsoft never reaches out to customers in that manner!

Received a frantic call claiming to be an emergency notification about my Microsoft licence being up for renewal. They insisted I press 1 to sort it out. Just decided to hang up instead!

21/11/17 I’ve just had a call from 0800 041 8221, and it’s the identical spiel everyone else has been getting about my Microsoft licence being out of date. They wanted me to press 1 to sort it out – I promptly hung up! But honestly, I dread to think how many people fall for this and could end up facing hefty charges.

Avoid this number like the plague, it’s a total scam! Whatever you do, don’t hit 1.

I've just received a similar call – such a shame as I don't possess a Windows system (only located at the office!).

On the 20th of November 2017, I received a message from 08000418221, claiming that my Microsoft licence was no longer valid. It instructed me to press 1 to return the call. Honestly, it’s absolutely maddening! It would be fantastic if someone could put an end to these scammers, as I feel for those who fall victim to such deceitful tactics. It’s appalling how these fraudsters operate!

Dodgy voicemail. Total con.

"I just received a rather alarming message from someone named Mike Rowsoft, asserting that all of my licenses have lapsed. They insisted I press 1 to get in touch. Total scam! It's most likely tied to some dodgy premium rate number or could even be a ruse for computer hijacking or credit card fraud. Whatever you do, steer clear of it!"

I received a call from that number earlier today. The caller said they were from Microsoft and alleged that my software license had lapsed, warning that I’d be unable to use any Microsoft products until I sorted out a renewal. Please beware, this is absolutely a scam. Microsoft will never ring you up like that!

Received an urgent call claiming my Windows licence had lapsed. I promptly ended the call.
