666675

I’m a bit uneasy about this number, doesn’t seem like a normal phone line. I picked up once but there was just silence, which made me even more nervous that maybe I’ve been hacked just by answering. Has anyone else experienced something like this or got any thoughts?

They called me a couple of times but no idea who it was.

I've received two calls from this number, but I've no idea who it belongs to.

I got a couple of calls from a number I didn't recognise.

Seriously, find something worthwhile to do instead of aiding extremists. It's a bleak existence you’re leading, scamming folks just to fund those who spread terror. You'll end up in a dark place for it, trust me.

TOTAL SCAM ALERT I ordinarily shy away from calls from unfamiliar numbers, but there was someone I was anticipating, so I decided to pick it up. The person on the other end went straight in claiming they were ringing about my Windows PC... Honestly, who in their right mind would know that: 1- I own a computer and would call me out of the blue without me reaching out to anyone? 2- I'm using a Microsoft operating system? Really? I barely let her finish her spiel before I terminated the call.

I recently received a call from this number, but when I tried returning the call, I was greeted with a message saying, "Welcome to Version Wireless." Quite the puzzle, if you ask me!

I’ve just had a rather amusing experience with a chap who rang me up twice in quick succession. He identified himself as Kevin, claiming to be from Windows technical support. It struck me as rather odd since, in all my years of being a computer user, I've never received a phone call from any tech support personnel. Naturally, I couldn’t resist the temptation to entertain his little charade just to stretch out his time. However, I deliberately ignored all the instructions he threw my way regarding my machine. In the end, I firmly informed him that if I required assistance, I'd either reach out to Microsoft directly or take my computer to a nearby tech shop - definitely not going to divulge any details over an unsolicited phone call. To my amusement, he abruptly ended the call. Quite the laugh, really!

I received the same call three times consecutively. I wasn't feeling particularly chipper, so I just kept shouting "HELLO!" The chap on the other end would rattle off his script without missing a beat. After the fourth round, he finally hung up. Then, lo and behold, a woman called, and I did the same - kept belting out "HELLO!" She didn't stick around for long, managing only two attempts before she threw in the towel. Honestly, it was quite amusing and lifted my spirits a tad. Goodness, my life can be rather dull at times!

I got a call from this number earlier today. A chap with an accent not quite local claimed he was from Windows technical assistance. When I asked him to clarify, he repeated his spiel and went on about “Your computer is experiencing some issues…” but I stopped him short. “I don’t use Windows; I’m on a Mac,” I said. His response? He promptly disconnected the call. Definitely a scam!

Just received a call from this number, and lo and behold, the person on the other end gave me the usual spiel about my computer being in dire need of updates; apparently, it was on the verge of crashing. I calmly informed him that my computer was operating perfectly, cheers. When I pressed him on which company he represented, he claimed to be from I6 Tech Support. I then requested a physical address for this so-called "company," to which he stammered that he couldn't provide one due to security protocols. I replied that without that info, I couldn't possibly continue the conversation for "security" reasons either, and promptly ended the call. Total scam!

The chap on the line had a distinctly Middle Eastern accent. I've been taken for a ride in the past by individuals with a similar tone. Whether this was the same lot or not, I can't say, but they managed to pull one over on me previously, so not this time! He started waffling about an issue with my computer, insisting I rush to it without delay. I told him straight, “There’s nothing the matter with my computer; do one!” and promptly ended the call. He didn’t bother to ring again, so it’s clear to me this was a scam.

I got a call from this chap and, curious, I quizzed him about which of my computers he was referring to. Out of the blue, he just cut off the line. I've heard that during these so-called "helpful" conversations, they lead you to some dodgy websites where they can easily access your private details. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

Blimey, Abi, cheers for the heads-up! Did you happen to inquire with your new acquaintance about how he figured out that you owned a computer? Or how he was clued up on what system you were using? Honestly, this all sounds like a right con to me!

I've received three calls purportedly from Windows Support. Each time, I feed them a fake credit card number before ending the conversation abruptly!

Abigail Schmitt, you’re quite the piece of work, aren’t you? This call is nothing but a ruse, just like you! Perhaps it’s time to consider some employment and find a purpose in life!

I received a rather pleasant call from a chappy who alerted me to some technical difficulties with my computer that had completely slipped my mind. It turns out my machine's settings were configured incorrectly, preventing crucial security updates from being installed. Because of this, key software had ceased functioning properly, and if left unchecked, it would have led to my computer becoming utterly inoperable. Thankfully, this kind gentleman took the time to guide me through every necessary step, and now my computer is operating as if it’s just come out of the box! What a fortunate twist of fate!

I had a rather strange call from this number, with the person claiming they were reaching out about my Microsoft computer. The thing is, my computer is running perfectly fine! I told the caller firmly to remove me from their list, yet they persisted in insisting there were problems with my setup. I had to repeat my request to be taken off their call list and then hung up. Quite annoying, really!

Received a call from this number earlier. I chose not to answer it. Regrettably, I should've, as I could’ve had a bit of fun winding them up!

Received a call today, much like the rest. They claimed they could repair my computer. I had a bit of a showdown with him, and after a few tense moments, he ended the call. Definitely a scam!

I recently received a call from this odd number, but there was no voicemail left. Curious, isn’t it?

I picked up the call and went along with his requests initially. He claimed my computer was on the brink of becoming unusable, which struck me as a bit dodgy. I complied with his instructions for a while, but when he mentioned a website called www.fixme.it, I decided to cut the conversation short. He then attempted to ring me back thrice in quick succession. Honestly, it just didn’t sit right with me - it lacked a professional touch, to say the least.

I found it utterly baffling; there was nothing but crackling noise.

Received a call from this number but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Quite odd!
