Claimed to be from Paypal straight into a spiel about did I buy £600 worth of bitcoin. No security checks no nothing. Definitely a scam.
Message left, rather unclear but seemed to be saying they wanted to talk to me (knew my name) from Microsoft. Said there was a security subscription I'd signed up to with a fee of £300 that will appear on my statement if not cancelled manually by the user and if I wanted to cancel to call back. I don't think this is genuine - will deal with it if it appears on the statement.
Claiming to be from Microsoft.. scam
Caller said he was from Amazon and it was about a phone order. Line was very bad, broken English, clearly a scam so I hung up.

Said i had ordered an iphone on my Amazon Account. I put the phone down as he was asking if a family member would have used the account. Phoned my Bank and they have flagged my account.

Called saying my paypal account had been cloned and that the fraudster had access to my computer. Wanted access so that they could block the fraudster. DO NOT allow them access, this is a scam.
