10 yearsThey rang me earlier today, went on about computer troubles like usual. I just droned on with them for as long as possible until they finally gave up and ended the call. Same old story every time.11 yearsGot a few calls telling me they were from Microsoft saying there’s some issue with my software. First time I just hung up straight away. The next two times, I told them Microsoft wouldn’t call me at home and then they just hung up on me. Pretty annoying!Microsoft11 yearsCalled me but didn't bother to say anything.11 yearsMy 93 year old mum got a call from this number, they tried to get into her computer and were asking for cash. Absolutely shocking behaviour!11 yearsGot a call at 11.02 on 30/11/15, but they cut off right away. I’m with the others here, seriously, why isn’t something being done by the authorities about these annoying callers?11 yearsGot a call from someone with a strong Indian accent, who said his name was something very English. He claimed he was ringing me from Microsoft. When I asked him to give me the specific office and department he worked in, and the name of his supervisor, he just cut the call before I could start telling him how great it is to swim in the Ganges!MicrosoftGanges River11 yearsI just don’t get why these scammers keep ringing folks who are well aware they’re up to no good, and tell them straight out that they’re con artists. It’s such a pointless use of their time and cash, and not just for me. I’ve tried messing with them before, pretending to go along with their nonsense before letting rip. Also told them nicely but firmly to take me off their calling list, but no luck at all. Over the years I’ve flagged it with the Telephone Preference Service loads of times, they probably reckon I’m the one spamming them now!Telephone Preference Service11 yearsAs soon as they start talking about computers, I tell them it’s a scam and then just hang up. Had this number ring me a few times now.11 yearsI managed to keep the guy talking for around five minutes, so at least I think I wasted some of his time. It was the usual windows scam stuff, like they imagine everyone’s gullible or something. Then at the very end, he asked if I was over 16 and just dropped the call! Seriously, I’m definitely more than twice that age! Proper funny.11 yearsSame as what others have said about the virus and all that. Honestly, it's getting a bit dull now.11 yearsGot a call at 8.20 this morning but they just ended the call right away.11 yearsA guy with a really strong accent called me and asked if I owned a computer. When I said no, he just ended the call right away.11 yearsIt really baffles me how in this day and age, with all our fancy technology, these dodgy scams still go on. You'd think it would be easy to just block numbers like 00124***, but nah, that’s not how it seems to work unless you’re super savvy or fork out cash to some companies who take advantage of us older folk. Whoever first said "crime doesn't pay" must've been living in a totally different time!11 yearsHere we go again, that same scammer Charlie from India ringing up. Says there are harmful files on my PC or something :(CharlieIndia11 yearsThis morning around 8:24 I got a call from this number, but as soon as I picked up, they just ended the call right away.11 yearsGot loads of calls from this number, all trying the same old trick. They say they’re from Microsoft and there’s an issue with my PC or something. They want you to install some software so they can get into your computer, looking for your bank info and stuff. It’s really sneaky, especially for older folks who aren’t great with tech. Best thing I found is just to keep them chatting so they don’t bother anyone else!Microsoft11 yearsOver the past few days, I've had three calls warning me that my computer supposedly caught a virus.11 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Indian accent trying to sell me Windows stuff. She was pretty pushy and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Definitely one of those annoying cold calls!Submit Your Own Report (024 0555 0196)
