11 yearsGot a call from abroad with this number, picked up and I could tell someone was there 'cause I heard sound in the background, but when I tried to talk, no one replied. They just cut the call. Tried calling back, but then a Telstra message said the call couldn’t go through and to double-check the number before trying again.Telstra11 yearsToday I got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who kept saying not to hang up, that it wasn’t a sales pitch but something about Microsoft and my computer. I was curious, so I played along and told him I was actually from the police station, asking how I could assist. His response? He told me to "f..k off" and then just ended the call!Microsoft11 yearsJust got a call like that myself. I suspected it was a scam straight away, so I let him talk while I acted like I was turning on my laptop. Meanwhile, I went to make a tea to keep myself entertained.11 yearsSurely there’s some way to find out at least if the call’s coming from abroad or maybe which town in the UK it’s from?UK11 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft about my Windows, but they were really disrespectful and definitely seemed like a scammer!Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from this number once again today, they really don’t give up. A lady with an Asian accent asked straight away for me by my name. I could tell straight off what it was about - something to do with my computer. I just ended the call and blocked the number, but looks like they use loads of different phone numbers to keep trying. Make sure you don’t fall for it - just hang up!11 yearsSuper pushy caller claiming to be from Microsoft. They kept threatening to lock my computer and even ended up insulting me. Not cool at all.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from someone asking for the homeowner by name. I told them he wasn’t in and when they asked who I was, I said I just look after the property. Then they called me a liar and mentioned something about a computer. I told them again I wasn’t the owner, but they kept saying I was family. I asked them to repeat what they said and they slowly replied “you are a liar” before hanging up. This happened at about 9:30 on Wednesday, 19 August.11 yearsI got a call from a guy with what sounded like an Asian accent who claimed there was something wrong with my Windows and that my computer was getting hacked. He said he could fix it if I let him on the line. I told him I never take advice or follow instructions from random callers like that. The moment he realised I wasn’t falling for it, he got quite rude and aggressive, calling me names and telling me to "f*** off." I just told him I’d happily do that and to stop ringing me again. What’s ironic is he’d said the call was being recorded, yet he was the one swearing like mad. I told him straight up he was definitely no Windows rep and hung up. Honestly, it was the worst scam call I’ve had so far, and I reckon it’d really terrify some vulnerable folks.11 yearsHad another call from these lot today. The first time I picked up and the moment I heard "Microsoft" I just ended the call straight away. Then about two hours later they tried again, so I just let it ring out for ages till they eventually gave up. Typical scammers from Asia, preying on folks who don’t know much about computers, trying to get remote access to your machine to steal stuff like bank info or to scam you into paying for fake "repairs". Absolutely nasty criminals!Microsoft11 yearsHad a couple of calls this morning already - seriously, can someone track these annoying pests down and shut them up? It’s just a complete timewaster for everyone.11 yearsI’ve had a couple of calls from this number but when I pick up, nobody’s there.11 yearsThis number rang me at around 8.40 in the morning. I’m usually pretty good at not picking up unfamiliar calls, but since I do have family overseas, something about it made me answer. When I did, there was total silence on the line, even though I knew the call was live, so I ended it straight away. No clue what the purpose was, but I suppose it’s a bit different from the usual scams claiming to be "Microsoft" warning me about some computer problem!!Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from Microsoft - super pushy and honestly quite nasty. Definitely not a nice experience.Microsoft11 yearsThis number called me, and I picked up thinking it was from the States since I’ve got a relative living there right now. The bloke on the other end started speaking in a language that wasn’t clear to me and wanted to speak to either me or my husband, even using both our full names. When I told him it was me, he spoke super quickly and I couldn't catch half of what he was saying. Then he seemed annoyed, said something else I couldn’t understand, and I told him straight I had no idea who he was or what he wanted. Without another word, he hung up. It’s got me a bit worried since they knew our names. What’s going on with these calls? Also, do I get charged for just answering?11 yearsThis number rings me all the time, and since I work in IT fixing computers, I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam. With how advanced tech is these days, I don’t see why they can’t track down who’s behind it and take legal action.11 yearsThis number has rung me nearly five times daily all week. I picked up earlier today, and when I refused their request to access my PC, they actually menaced me saying they'd shut down every computer at my place. That sort of conduct is totally out of order, probably illegal, and just makes me more determined that there should be tougher moves to block these firms and shut them down completely.11 yearsThis number has been calling me repeatedly. I’ve got call ID set up, so I only pick up if the number’s familiar, but it’s annoying because we get loads of calls daily from all sorts of different numbers.11 yearsGot a call just a few mins ago, no sound at all - really not on, that's gotta be illegal.11 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Asian accent, saying he was from Microsoft Support. When I told him my computer was fine, he called me a 'liar'. I then asked him to send me an email to prove who he was, and he snapped back with "I'm not here to serve you". What really freaked me out was that he already had my home phone, mobile number, and even my home address. The number he used was 01989 8284 628. Thankfully, he left me alone after that, but if he had called my mum, she'd probably have fallen for it without hesitation. This bloke really needs to be tracked down and put to a stop.11 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier today. Felt like a total scam straight away. The bloke said he was James, so I replied with Mohammed. Had a bit of a laugh keeping him on the line, then finally told him to jog on and go kiss a donkey!JamesMohammed11 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today, turns out it's from Australia. Makes me wonder if the Aussie government might want to look into this, maybe something about one commonwealth nation pestering another. Honestly, they don't seem very professional with this dodgy scam.AustraliaCommonwealth11 yearsDefinitely let the Aussie cops know about these scammers by reporting them at https://report.acorn.gov.au/11 yearsGot a call claiming there was an issue with my Microsoft computer. When I asked where they got my details from, they just said Microsoft. I told them that’s a total breach of data laws, which annoyed them enough to bring on their supervisor. When asked what the problem was, I pointed out that the call itself was illegal. The supervisor asked ‘By who?’ and I said ‘The British government’. That really got him riled up, and he started swearing about ‘that bloody government’. I lost my temper and said ‘Who the hell do you think you are, you damn tosser?’ before slamming the phone down. I’ve also joked before that my Windows are fine - because they open and shut letting light in - and besides, the double glazing keeps the noise out! They don’t bother after that.Microsoft11 yearsI told the bloke he’d got the wrong person and his reaction was really nasty, kept shouting and being rude. He was an Asian guy and it got so bad I had to report it to the cops.11 yearsPhone went off...I picked up...but they just cut the call right away without saying anything.11 yearsthis number has rung me a few times, and at first i played along to figure out their game. turns out, they want to get remote control of your computer. after a bit, when i didn’t follow their instructions properly, the bloke started hurling all sorts of insults at me, like he’d swallowed a swear word dictionary whole. once, a woman called me too and she got pretty rude when i wasn’t cooperating. makes me wonder if anyone actually falls for this rubbish?11 yearsThis guy called up my elderly folks saying there were issues with their computer - problem is, they don't even own one! My mum told him they’re on the do-not-call list and asked where he got their details from. Instead of an answer, he started shouting, insisting he had every right to their address and number. It really freaked my mum out, she’s worried this nutter now knows exactly where they live!11 yearsGot a call but all I could hear was silence, then it just ended after around 45 seconds. Very strange.11 yearsI got a call from this number once more just yesterday!11 yearsTwice today, this number called me but both times they just went silent and ended the call right away.11 yearsHad a call earlier claiming to be from Windows. I told them to stop wasting my time cos they were definitely scammers. Then the woman on the other end went off and called me a " f*****g b*****d " and just hung up. Bit rude if you ask me!11 yearsSome bloke rang up claiming to be from Windows tech support, saying my computer was having problems. Thing is, my PC's been off for about three months now ever since we lost the office with the twins around. I asked him how that's even possible, and if it was really sending an error. He just said "obviously." That’s when I realised it was dodgy because no official support would be so blunt. I told him, "No, not really, I don’t even have a computer on right now." Then, he just hung up on me.11 yearsGot a call from a nice young guy, sounded Asian, claiming to be from Microsoft Windows, of all places ;). He said hackers were trying to get into my computer :-O, but when I mentioned I actually run a MAC, he got all rude on me... called me stupid :( and even dropped the b.word!!! Haha, what a joke.Microsoft11 yearsSome bloke from Asia called me, just shouted a rude word at me over the phone. I just ended the call straight away.11 yearsThis call came from the US and was one of those bogus "Windows Support" scams. I called him out as a cheat right away and he just cut the line.
