I once mentioned to the woman on the phone that I didn’t have a computer, and without so much as a word, she simply hung up on me. It felt quite impolite, to say the least.

Received a phone call purporting to be from Microsoft, specifically the Windows team. The line was riddled with background chatter and the caller had quite a strong Indian accent. They insisted they were ringing regarding a virus infecting my computer and claimed to offer assistance in removing it. When I probed for more details about their call, the chap candidly exclaimed, "because there's a bloody virus on your computer, mate!" Surely I must have misheard that last bit!

I just endured a rather challenging call from a woman with a thick accent rambling on about Microsoft and a staggering number of downloads my computer supposedly has. I've had this sort of thing happen in the past, so I decided to end the call. Clearly, they’re trying to gain access to my computer.

Received a rather dodgy call today around a quarter past noon. An Indian chap claiming to be named Peter, purportedly from Microsoft, rang me up. He was insistent that my computer was infested with viruses. Naturally, I quizzed him about how he’d obtained my home number, considering I’ve got a system in place to block scam calls, and just like that, he hung up! Quite the cheek, really!

This morning I got a rather peculiar phone call. The woman on the other end had an accent that sounded either Asian or perhaps Indian - frankly, I struggled to decipher what she was saying. She claimed to represent Microsoft and mentioned something about assisting me with a download I supposedly had on my laptop. It was all very strange. When I pointed out that I only use a tablet, she abruptly ended the call. Quite bizarre indeed!

I've had the pleasure of these charlatans attempting to reach me on my landline a couple of times. Each time I picked up, they promptly disconnected. However, this morning, my wife picked up and engaged them-seems these rogues have the notion that women might be easier to dupe! It was a chap with an Indian accent claiming to represent Microsoft, warning us that our computer was teeming with viruses and that he could assist. My wife, being quite clever, asked for his name and contact number, mentioning that I’d be home soon and was in the IT consultancy field. Lo and behold, he hung up immediately! Regardless, this is outright criminal behaviour. Tracking down these calls and numbers is certainly within reach. The authorities, including the police and Ofcom, ought to join forces to identify these miscreants and exert pressure on the pertinent overseas authorities.

This morning at precisely 09:55, my landline- which isn’t even listed- was disturbed by a call from this number. My answer machine kicked in, yet they left no message. Afterwards, I tried 1471 to trace the caller; it revealed the number but advised me to hang up without any option to reconnect. Oddly, my iPhone didn’t register anything either, suggesting the number is being deliberately blocked. A quick search led me to this site, so cheers for the heads-up!

I received a rather alarming phone call from this number today. A gentleman claimed to be from Microsoft, stating that my computer was generating error messages. He addressed me as “ma'am,” to which I corrected him, noting that I’m a man. He then rather unoriginally remarked on my voice, saying it was "sweet." After I expressed my discomfort with his tone, he unleashed a tirade of foul language, saying, "Listen here, mate, I’m going to do unspeakable things to your family." Feeling quite distressed by his threats, I promptly reached out to the authorities and lodged a formal complaint. I really hope that by posting this that I can dissuade anyone else from picking up calls from this number. That individual is clearly deranged, and I’d give anything for a moment alone with him, armed with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch!

I received the same call as numerous others. As a network security consultant, I probed deeper, inquiring about the internal IP address from which the call originated and how he could possibly access that via a Cisco PIX-535. The moment I started asking about these technical details, he promptly ended the call. It’s amusing to waste their time like this! However, next time, I might just let them set up their spyware or keylogger on a spare device in a separate VLAN, then hand it over to a computer forensics professional. It would be fascinating to see if we could ensnare these con artists!

After some back and forth, he hung up when it dawned on him that I wasn’t going to comply. I’ve since reported the incident to BT, and they are looking into it.

I've just had my fifth call from this number over the last year and a half. The first time was back on 6th December 2012, and I nearly fell for it. The chap claimed to be from the Microsoft Windows support team. Being someone who works in a call centre, I asked him for his identification number. To my surprise, he spelled out a rather crude term! Even then, it didn’t click for me. Instead of using the phonetic alphabet like a proper professional, he awkwardly said "o" for orange and "f" for frog. When I mentioned I would switch on my computer and requested his phone number, he lost it and swore! I must admit, I wasn’t exactly polite back once I realised it was a con. Just two minutes ago, he rang me again, shouting about me hanging up on him. Truly vile individuals. Something really ought to be done about this!

Just received two calls in quick succession from this overseas number. Both times, I could hear the unmistakable buzz of a busy call centre and strong accents that seemed to be Asian or Indian. The first call was from a chap claiming to represent my energy supplier, yet when I questioned him about the international number, he stubbornly insisted he was based in the UK. Naturally, I ended the conversation right there. Then, moments later, I got another call asking for details about my energy provider, promising me a £120 discount. Strangely, they wouldn't say which energy firm they were associated with, but rattled off a list of UK names, including BT - which, as we know, isn’t even an energy provider! I ended that call too. Honestly, these are just scammers - steer clear! It boggles the mind why BT can’t put a stop to these annoying calls when so many folks are raising the same issue.

I had a rather dodgy encounter with a chap named Shane, who claims he hails from Microsoft and is based in Manchester. Quite the character, isn’t he? He insisted that my computer was somehow relaying messages to him - rather odd, if you ask me! I’m worried for an elderly neighbour of mine who fell for this prank. They lure you in with a sob story, wanting you to fork out a fee and allowing remote access to your device, so they can keep an eye on things from who knows where-certainly not Manchester, I wager!

I decided to play along for a good ten minutes, engaging in a bit of chit-chat. When I eventually told him I didn’t even possess a computer, the line cut off abruptly. Quite amusing, really!

A chap rang me claiming to be from Microsoft and wanted me to press Ctrl + Windows. I kept him on the line for a good 25 minutes - what a right laugh! Eventually, I mentioned I was using a Linux machine. The highlight was when his supervisor piped up, saying a reboot would sort it all out. So, I asked him if he was familiar with Linux. Turns out, he wasn't! I then requested his staff ID from Microsoft, and just like that, he hung up. Absolutely priceless!

Received a call inquiring about my Windows computer-clearly a scam! Is there a place where one can report such incidents?

I just received a call from this number, and when I inquired how they managed to obtain my details (considering I'm not in any directory), the bloke had the audacity to tell me to shove off before abruptly ending the call. Quite delightful, isn't it?

I've now blocked the number. They rang me twice and were quite pushy about it.

I recently received a rather dubious phone call from a chap and a lady sporting very pronounced accents. When I inquired about 'Alan's' last name, he casually replied 'Smith'-how original! They were adamant that I hit the Windows key and 'r', and start handing over my driving licence, security details, and various forms of personal identification, claiming I’d lose my computer due to some alleged 'error' from Microsoft. They wouldn’t take no for an answer! I was quite baffled but firmly refused to divulge any information. Thankfully, I had the sense to contact my brother, who promptly informed me it was nothing but a scam.

The caller had an Indian accent and claimed to be with a Microsoft office, stating that I had some downloads that were messing up my hard drive. When I replied, "That's curious, I use a Mac," he abruptly ended the call!

Claimed he was called David, but when I pressed him with 'how am I supposed to trust that?' he just cut the call! Came across as quite juvenile, to be honest.

I’ve had a similar experience myself-what a complete farce! Nevertheless, it was quite amusing to keep them chatting for half an hour.

Didn’t hear a word from anyone, just some chatter in the background that seemed like it was either Chinese or Malaysian. Then the call dropped.

Received a call from this number earlier today. The chap on the other end claimed there was an issue with my Microsoft account or something to that effect. He became rather irate when I questioned him about it. Best to steer clear of this one, it’s definitely a scam!

"I’m ringing you from the Windows platform" - as if! What a cheeky little con artist!
