12 yearsThis number has been blowing up my phone loads, all about some EON energy deal. They never seem to give up. Every time it’s a bloke with an Indian accent and they sound really pushy. I’ve started either ignoring them till they hit my voicemail or just ending the call straight away.EONIndia12 yearsGot a call from a woman with an SE Asian accent claiming to be from "Windows". She said they detected issues with my PC and wanted me to sit at the computer so she could help fix it. Since I use a Mac, I was suspicious and asked her to clarify the company name. She repeated "Windows" like it was supposed to be a known company. I asked her to prove who she was, and she abruptly ended the call. Afterwards, I did some digging and found out this is a common scam tactic. They might get you to visit a dodgy website that installs malware to steal your data, request remote access to your device, or even demand payment to stop fake "viruses" they claim exist. Experts advise not sharing any personal details and just hang up straight away. If you get any info about these scammers, report it to the police. I’m sharing this here so others don’t fall for it. So yeah, block that number if it rings you!12 yearsGot a call from that number claiming to be from the IRS, saying I'm facing a lawsuit. They told me to ring them back on an 02 area code, which isn't even in the States. Definitely sounded dodgy to me.IRSUnited States12 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft about a Windows issue, but the funny thing is, I don’t even have a computer!Microsoft12 yearsI got a call earlier today from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. The bloke said his name was Jason Parker and that he was a senior technician based in California, USA. He told me my computer was infected with a virus and offered to help fix it. The guy kept saying, "If you need assistance, Microsoft can sort it out." I asked for his full name, phone number and even my IP address. Then, outta nowhere, they started threatening to block my computer if I didn’t cooperate. I told them I didn’t even have a computer and hung up straight away. After that, I reported it to the police. Turns out that number is linked to scammers. My PC’s working fine, so just ignore these people!MicrosoftJason ParkerCaliforniaUSA12 yearsToday I got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. The guy said his name was Jason Parker and claimed to be a senior tech based in California, USA. He told me my computer was infected with a virus and that he could fix it. He kept saying if I needed help, Microsoft could sort it out. I asked for his name and phone number, but he didn’t give me the number that showed up on my phone. When I asked about my IP address, he couldn’t say, but strangely he already had my phone number and address (probably from some directory like the White Pages). Then he threatened to block my computer if I didn’t cooperate. I ended up reporting it to the police. Turns out this number belongs to some scammers, and my PC was totally fine. Honestly, just ignore these calls, don’t let them access your computer, and never share any personal info with them!MicrosoftJason ParkerCaliforniaUSA13 yearsThey convinced my elderly mum they could make her computer run faster, but ended up loading a dodgy file onto it instead. She got tricked into thinking it was helpful, but it was a nightmare.13 yearsIt was some dodgy call, like a total pain or maybe one of those scam things, no idea who it was.13 yearsYeah, this guy said he was from Microsoft but he's actually an Indian bloke trying to trick people. Total scam, don't fall for it.Microsoft13 yearsGot a call from this number on my home phone earlier today. I picked up, but as soon as I did, they just ended the call.13 yearsSo this number's been ringing me loads, but I just haven't had the chance to pick up or I've been out. And yeah, I'm actually living in Iceland.Iceland13 yearsI cancelled call blocking this past Saturday but still got spammed with 2 calls on Sunday, another 2 on Monday and even got one today. Honestly, that’s way too many from these foreign firms. If they don’t stop completely soon, I’m definitely asking for a refund.13 yearsI got two calls from the same number today but didn’t answer. Later, I looked them up on the internet and found out they’ve been running this scam for ages. Don’t share any info with these people, seriously. Especially if it's some bloke with an Indian accent on the line, don’t fall for it. They might claim your computer’s got viruses or is all messed up, but just hang up and don’t believe a word! _______________ 13-07-2013 NetherlandsNetherlands13 yearsJust got a call from number 001 2173989 544, some bloke with a foreign accent claimed he was from my 'Computer Support Company'. He said my IP had been hacked and asked if I was at my computer. I said yes, then he told me to press ctrl and 'start' on my keyboard. When he asked what appeared on my screen, I said it read 'Get lost, I'm not daft enough to fall for this rubbish, try again mate', followed by 'Pretty impressive, huh?'. Suddenly, he passed the phone to someone else who tried to speak over me, but I told them off, hoping they understood there are no virgins waiting for them, and if there were, they wouldn't matter once their bits got blown to the other side of town. Made my day! :-)Computer Support Company13 yearsThey claimed my PC was infected and said they were ringing from somewhere in Europe, but I ended the call before they could pressure me into buying anything!14 yearsI'm not fluent in English but curious to find out who rang me.Submit Your Own Report (021 7398 9544)
