12 yearsI mentioned to the lady on the other end that I don’t have a computer and she just hung up on me without a single word. So rude!12 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Microsoft or Windows, but there was loads of noise in the background and they sounded Indian. They kept going on about a virus on my computer and that they could help fix it. When I asked how they got my number, the bloke suddenly shouted something like 'There’s a virus on your bloody computer, mate!' - not really sure if I heard that right or they just lost it at the end!Microsoft12 yearsThis number has phoned my mum a couple times now, but whenever she picks up, they just cut off straight away.12 yearsThis number has phoned me about four times warning that someone’s gained access to my computer. I told them to mind their own business if that’s the case, and then they just hung up. It’s a shame though, because with enough calls, someone might actually fall for it and hand over their card info.12 yearsKeeps ringing but when I answer, it’s just dead silence.12 yearsSome woman with a really hard-to-understand accent started going on about Microsoft and how many downloads my PC supposedly had. I've dealt with this kind of thing before, so I just ended the call straight away. They’re just trying to get into your computer, watch out!Microsoft12 yearsSo today around quarter past twelve, I got a call from some guy with an Indian accent saying his name was Peter and that he was ringing from Microsoft. He told me my computer was infected with viruses or something. When I asked him how he even got my number since I have those scam calls blocked, he just hung up on me! Proper dodgy if you ask me.PeterMicrosoft12 yearsThis morning, I got a call from a woman who sounded like she might be Indian or maybe East Asian - hard to catch exactly. She claimed she was with Microsoft and wanted to fix something I'd supposedly downloaded onto my laptop. Bit strange really. I told her I actually use a tablet, not a laptop, and she just ended the call straight away.Microsoft12 yearsGot a call earlier today from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, but their line was awful - really hard to hear them. I told them to ring back when my husband’s in as I couldn’t make out much. I’m pretty sure they won’t bother calling again though. Wish someone could put a stop to these annoying calls!Microsoft12 yearsThis number keeps ringing me, even though I've blocked it. Both guys and gals call, but the moment you say something, they just hang up! It's so frustrating!12 yearsIt really frustrates me how they just go silent as soon as you pick up the call, feels like they should be locked up for that. I’ve got a disabled wife to look after, and if she happened to answer, it would have really annoyed her. The phone rang twice while I was out shopping, both times it was from that exact same number.12 yearsThey said they were from Microsoft but as soon as I told them we don’t own a computer, they just ended the call. Bit fishy if you ask me.Microsoft12 yearsTwice now some dodgy callers have rung my landline. The first time I picked up, they hung up straight away. But this morning, my missus had a go and they actually started chatting, like they reckon women are easier to fool or something! It was a man with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, saying our computer was catching viruses and he could sort it. My wife just played along and said, “Alright then, what’s your name and number? My husband’s a computer expert, he’ll want to have a word with you when he gets back.” The bloke quickly hung up! Still, it’s clearly illegal what they’re doing. These calls and numbers can be tracked down fairly easily. The police ought to get involved, and with Ofcom’s help, push whatever agency overseas to crack down on these scammers.MicrosoftOfcom12 yearsThis number rang me twice, both times straight to voicemail. They just ended the call and didn’t bother leaving any message.12 yearsGot a call this morning around 10.55 from a bloke with a foreign accent claiming he was from Microsoft. He said it was about my computer but as soon as I started asking questions, he just cut the call.Microsoft12 yearsGot a call from this number but it just dropped after I said hello a couple times. I could hear breathing on the line but no one spoke. I've been off my laptop since I moved into the new place, and I’m ex-dir so definitely not a tech issue on my end!12 yearsToday I got called twice by this number. The first was a bloke with an English accent, then later a woman who spoke English but with such a strong Indian accent I could hardly understand her. They both claimed to be from Microsoft offering help. I just told them I wasn’t interested and ended the calls straight away.IndiaMicrosoft12 yearsGot calls from this number three times within like ten minutes. Each time it was a different Indian bloke claiming there’s an issue with my computer. I ended the call twice, then the third time they just cut off after saying "hello". Proper rude and obviously not being truthful. Total scammers.12 yearsI swear these scammers must have got their tricks straight from BT India or something. It's like all their tactics come from there.BT India12 yearsThis morning I got a call from an Asian bloke asking something about my computer. I told him I didn’t catch what he said properly, and he just went off on me, cursing and calling me horrible names before abruptly hanging up. So rude!12 yearsThis morning, I got a call from someone claiming they were from Microsoft and said there was an issue with my computer. I told him I don't even own a PC, so he must have dialled the wrong number. Then, he just hung up on me!Microsoft12 yearsDoes anyone know which area of Nigeria these scam calls usually come from?Nigeria12 yearsSomebody rang me up claiming to be from Microsoft in Manchester, saying my PC was infected with a virus and they could help fix it. The person had an African accent. When I told them I'd phone Microsoft myself from my mobile, they just ended the call. Watch out for this kind of scam!MicrosoftManchester12 yearsThis number has been ringing me quite a bit, and the person on the other end sounded Asian. They claimed there was an issue with my Microsoft Windows and mentioned some kind of error showing up. Obviously, I didn't follow their instructions, but I can see how others might get caught out by this kind of trick.Microsoft12 yearsGot a call from this number on my unlisted landline early this morning, around 9:55am. My answerphone picked up but there was no message left. I tried checking who it was by dialling 1471, which gave me the number but then just told me to hang up - no option to call back or anything. Tried calling it from my iPhone but no answer, so it looks like it’s blocked somewhere along the line. Did a quick Google search and stumbed across this website, cheers for the heads up!12 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. Some bloke claimed my computer was throwing up errors and said he was from Microsoft. He called me “ma’am,” which is odd since I’m a bloke. When I corrected him, he said I had a lovely voice. Told him to watch how he speaks, and he suddenly lost it, shouting stuff like "listen here, you motherf***er, I’m gonna mess up your family." I was really shaken, so I rang the cops and filed a report. Seriously hope this review stops anyone else picking up calls from this number. That guy was seriously twisted, and honestly, I'd rather face him with nothing but some pliers and a blowtorch.Microsoft12 yearsThis number keeps ringing us non-stop every single day. Luckily, we’ve got caller ID so we don’t pick up, but it’s really annoying have these calls coming in all the time. Such a nuisance!12 yearsGot a call from a guy who said his name was John and claimed he worked for Microsoft Technical Support. He told me my PC was showing some error alerts and asked me to turn it on and do what he said. When I questioned his identity, he just ended the call.JohnMicrosoft12 yearsSome woman said she was ringing from Microsoft, saying there were error alerts on my PC and that it was catching viruses or something. She asked if I could switch it on so she could help me fix it. I told her I wasn’t able to, then she just ended the call.Microsoft12 yearsGot called by the same scammer a few times like others here. I work in network security, so when I asked him about what internal IP he was claiming to connect from and how he managed to get past a Cisco PIX-535 firewall, he just hung up right away. I enjoy messing with these people’s time. Next time, I’m thinking of letting them set up their spyware or keylogger on an old PC I keep isolated on a different VLAN, and then hand it over to a forensics pro. Maybe we can finally catch some of these dodgy guys.12 yearsI got calls from this number about six times in just four minutes. I told them to stop but they just wouldn’t quit ringing me. Proper annoying!12 yearsToday, this number tried ringing me a few times. I ignored it since I'm sick of getting calls like this. Later, I used 1471 to see who it was and yep, it's just the usual irritating one.12 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, some woman saying she had urgent news from Microsoft. Told her I don’t even own a PC and ended the call straight away. These pesky calls really need to be stopped!Microsoft12 yearsGot a call early this morning from a number I didn’t know, so I just let it ring out. Later on, the same number rang again in the arvo. The bloke turned out to be an asian guy claiming to be from Microsoft, warning about some hacking attempts on our PC. I just ended the call straightaway. Plus, our number’s ex directory anyway.Microsoft12 yearsOn Tuesday 24th February 2015 at about 12:51pm, I got a call from a woman named Alice who claimed to be with ....?.... Computing. When I asked her to say the company name again, she just cut the call. It was a completely unsolicited and annoying call. Is there anyone who can help put an end to these sort of calls? Cheers.Alice12 yearsThis number just rang me. I said hello and then there was this long quiet gap before a woman's voice with a British accent just said "Goodbye" on a recording. Pretty odd, not sure what that was about!12 yearsThis morning at 8.58, I got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, which immediately made me suspicious since I doubt Microsoft bother with their users like that. I’ve got an old XP laptop and I asked them to send me an email instead, especially as I’m getting the battery replaced soon.Microsoft12 yearsSome bloke phoned claiming he was from Microsoft saying there was an issue with my computer and asked me to punch in some codes. I just told him to jog on and take a long walk off a short cliff, haha!Microsoft12 yearsTotally a scam, no doubt about it. If you’re free, just keep them on the line for as long as you can. The longer they chat with you, the less chance they get to rip off someone else!!12 yearsGot a call today from this number claiming to be from Microsoft support, asking me to turn on my computer. I told them that wasn’t really possible as it’s with a local shop getting fixed right now. I warned them if they called again, I’d report them to the police, and they just hung up. Funny thing is, this is the second time I’ve been rung by them - the first was nearly a year ago, almost to the day. Did they really think I’d just forget about it?Microsoft12 yearsGot a call from some guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from Microsoft Support, saying there was urgent stuff about my PC. I told him I actually use a Mac, then just ended the call. The number showing was 001 989 961 4816. What a waste of time!Microsoft12 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, some bloke with an Asian accent claimed to be from BT and wanted to 'test' our broadband. He asked me to turn on the computer but I wasn’t having any of it since he couldn’t prove who he was. After a bit, he just hung up when he saw I wasn’t budging. We’ve told BT about it and they’re looking into what’s going on.BT12 yearsSo this number just rang me up, some guy speaking in a foreign language claimed he was with Microsoft and said he could fix my computer. Then out of nowhere, he cursed at me, said "F... you", and hung up. Seriously, how do they even get away with stuff like this? (18/08/2015)Microsoft12 yearsSomeone called us about our computer, but we told them we don’t actually have one and they just hung up.12 yearsI've had this number ring me up for the fifth time over the last year and a bit. The very first call was back on 6th December 2012, and I nearly got taken in. The person claimed they were from Microsoft Windows support. Since I work in a call centre, I asked for their ID number, but he just spelled out a swear word! Even so, I didn’t catch on straight away. His spelling didn’t sound right either - he said ‘o’ as in orange instead of ‘Oscar’ and ‘f’ like frog rather than ‘Foxtrot’. When I said I was going to switch on my computer and requested his number, he started cursing! I wasn’t exactly polite back once I clocked it was a scam! He phoned again about two minutes ago and yelled at me for hanging up. Proper nasty lot. Someone really needs to put a stop to them.Microsoft12 yearsGot a call from a lady who sounded like she was from Microsoft, saying my computer had a virus and asking me to switch it on. I flat out refused, which seemed to catch her off guard because she asked me why. When I told her the reason, she just ended the call. But annoying enough, she rang back again about 4 hours later.Microsoft12 yearsOver the past hour, I've had two calls from this same international number. Both times, I could hear what sounded like a noisy call centre in the background, and the callers spoke with strong Indian or Asian accents. The first was a man claiming to be from the local energy provider. When I questioned why he was calling from an overseas number, he kept insisting he was based in the UK, so I just ended the call. The second time, the caller tried to get info on my current energy supplier and promised a £120 saving but wouldn’t say which company they represented. They mentioned a bunch of UK firms, including BT (which isn’t even an energy company!). I ended the call straight away. These people seem like scammers - definitely steer clear. It’s frustrating that companies like BT don’t block these nuisance calls, especially when so many people complain about them.UKBT12 yearsGot a call from some bloke calling himself Shane, apparently from Microsoft and claiming he's based in Manchester. He said my computer flagged something up to him. Sadly, I know an older neighbour who fell for it. They ask you to pay a charge and let them access your computer so they can remotely watch and control it - wherever they really are, but it's certainly not Manchester!ShaneMicrosoftManchester12 yearsToday at about 9.15am, i got a call from a guy with an asian accent saying my Windows 7 PC had a virus or something. As soon as i told him i'd get my husband to check it out, he just ended the call straight away. Really dodgy if you ask me.12 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent, they just spoke briefly and then cut the call straight away.India12 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a funny accent claiming he was from EON, trying to sell me 75% off gas and electricity. The call showed as coming from abroad, which seemed odd. He gave me an EON membership number, but I wasn't sure if it was legit. I phoned EON myself and they said there's no record of that 0019899614816 number being one of theirs. I've since reported the number to EON and they're checking it out now.EON12 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent pretending to be from Microsoft called me. When I started questioning him, he just ended the call straight away.MicrosoftAsia12 yearsSomeone rang me from this number recently. I’m in the British Army and have no clue how they managed to get hold of a secure line like mine - probably just a random autodialer. If there’s any risk to security, I’m ready to have the call traced. Just sharing for info.British Army12 yearsSo I got a phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft - yeah, right! I decided to mess about and told them I worked for Microsoft Windows myself, haha. After a bit, I just told them to take their nonsense somewhere else. Typical!Microsoft12 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times, but I've not been able to pick up yet.12 yearsGot a call earlier today from a woman with an Asian accent, about 8:15am, saying she was from Microsoft. I told her straight up that Microsoft and their real associates don’t do cold calls like this, then I just hung up. Now I’m just waiting to see who rings next!Microsoft12 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the Microsoft Windows support team based in Manchester? Not sure if it was legit or not.MicrosoftManchester12 yearsGot a call from a bloke saying he's with E-on, asking me for my direct debit info. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.12 yearsThis dude with an Asian accent just cut the call right after I asked him where he got my number from, saying something about a virus on my Windows 7 computer... which I don't even own. Proper dodgy if you ask me.12 yearsGot a call today, 5th Feb, at 10:09 in the morning. Just ended it straight away.12 yearsGot a call from some Indian bloke saying he was with EDF, trying to get my info to renew my contract. Told him if he was really from EDF, he'd already have my details. Then I just ended the call.EDF12 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. He said they were getting error messages from my Windows 7 PC and told me to switch it on. When I asked him “which one?” since I have a few with Windows 7, he angrily replied “shut up, you b****,” so I just ended the call then and there. What on earth are these idiots hoping to get out of this?Microsoft12 yearsGot a call with nobody saying a word, classic sign of one of those auto-ddialler call centres.12 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was calling from Total Gas, asking for my DDR payment details. I told him if he was really from Total, he’d already have my account number and payment info. Plus, I know Total's call centres only speak English, so something didn’t feel right. That’s why I doubted him straight away.Total GasTotal12 yearsHonestly, the way they were speaking was shocking; I’m usually not easily offended, but that was a bit much for me!12 yearsI picked up, but there was a bit of a delay before anyone spoke. I could hear that usual racket you'd expect from a call centre in the background. A lady with a pretty annoying South Asian accent asked if I lived at the address. I just told her to buzz off and ended the call.12 yearsWhen I asked him how he knew I had a computer, he just told me to F*** right off.12 yearsGot a call from a guy with a thick Indian accent claiming he was "Mary from Microsoft." I replied in a joking manner, "Is that so?" and he just snapped back, "F*** off sir," before hanging up on me.MaryMicrosoft12 yearsSome bloke with a strong far east accent rang me up out of the blue, saying he was from Microsoft and that my computer was infected with a virus. I messed about chatting with him for a good 10 minutes. After that, I told him I didn’t even have a computer, then he just hung up on me.Microsoft12 yearsSomebody called saying they were with Microsoft and wanted me to hit Ctrl+Windows. I played along and kept them chatting for a good 25 minutes, was quite entertaining. Eventually, I told them I was using a Linux computer. The funniest part was when their so-called supervisor claimed I had to reboot for it to work. I asked if he even knew what Linux was - guess what? He had no clue! When I asked for his Microsoft employee ID, he just ended the call. Proper laugh!Microsoft12 yearsGot a call about my PC, something to do with Windows, but seemed like one of those scams. Anyone know where I might report these calls?12 yearsHad a ring from this number today. Asked the bloke how he even got hold of my digits, since I'm off the public list, and he just told me to f*** right off before slamming down. Lovely manners that lot!12 yearsI've gone ahead and blocked this number. It rang me a couple of times and the caller was super pushy.12 yearsA bloke and a lady called me, both with pretty thick accents. When I asked for 'Alan's' last name, he said 'Smith' - yeah, as if! They kept going on about me needing to hit the Windows key plus 'r' and then get my driving licence, security info, and all sorts of personal stuff ready, saying if I don’t, my computer would crash because Microsoft kept showing some 'error' message. They were really pushy about it! I felt a bit confused but wasn’t about to hand over my info, so I gave my brother a call and he told me straight up it was a scam.AlanSmithMicrosoft12 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from a Microsoft office. He said I’d downloaded harmful files that were messing up my hard drive. When I mentioned I use an Apple Mac, he just disconnected straight away!Microsoft12 yearsSome young bloke called me David, but when I asked how I was supposed to believe that, they just ended the call. Definitely sounded like a kid.David12 yearsGot the same call just now, definitely a scam but I had a laugh stringing them along for half an hour.12 yearsDidn’t really catch anyone talking, just some noises in the background that sounded like maybe Chinese or Malaysian. Then the call just cut off.12 yearsI got a ring from this number earlier. The bloke said there was some issue with my Microsoft account or something. When I questioned him, he started getting all rude and stuff. Best to just ignore it, it’s definitely a scam.Microsoft12 yearsTold me, "This is Windows speaking," like I’m daft! Proper scammer that one.Submit Your Own Report (0989 961 4816)
