Scam/Fraud
19 Oct 2023

Said he was from Microsoft and my computer had been hacked and was being used for online gambling. Told him I thought it was a scam call and hung up. He phoned again and asked why I had hung up. Very persistent and did start to get stroppy when I would not do what he asked. Told me he was going to get my computer blocked if I did not do what he asked and that I would then have to visit the Microsoft Office in Reading in person to have it unblocked. He didn't call back again after I hung up a second time.

This number has called me a couple of times. First time they said it was about my slow broadband. I hung up. Next time, just a few minutes ago, I said hello about 8 times before anyone said anything, then she called me a liar, and hung up!
