got a call from  this number telling me my computer was sending them error messages. I decided to have some fun and pretended to be very worried  and knowing nothing about computers. What ? My computer is sending you messages without my permission?? Asking them how my computer would know where to send messages and if they could tell what kind of computer I had. They told me they were located in east London and  a lot more b******s. I just couldn't stop laughing, they asked me if I could still hear them.I said yes, I think this is all soo funny as I don't even have a computer. They hung up straight away…..:)

Just been called today, an Asian sounding man purporting to be ' Ross' from World Wide Web. 'Ross' told me I'd got a problem with the computer....When I said we didn't have a computer he hung up!

Had a call from an Indian sounding bloke asking if i was sitting in front of my computer as there's a fault on it.Was going to play along but knowing id never get that time back went into a tirade of " yes and i suppose your going to ask me to log on to AMMYY then keep me on the phone until you've scammed what you want" I was in full swing telling him what a waste of space he and others that try this on...he hung up.Felt pleased with myself after that.Wish someone would invent a taser that worked down the phone!

TOLD ASIAN MAN TO BU***R OFF AFTER HE TOLD ME "YOUR COMPUTER IS FAULTY"  

Ive just received a call from this no telling me he was from the "technical department of the world wide web"! And  that I had 52 applications on my computer that needed to be closed down! When I said I didn't have the computer to hand he said he could remotely close them down If I gave him some details!! I said I wasn't technically minded and would he ring back in an hour to talk to my husband! I have no doubt he won't!!!  Seriously?? Tech dept of WWW??? Is he in a little room with a plaque on the door? I think not.

This number often phones and other numbers that are very similar, all Indian people I think, all saying they are from Microsoft and asking me to switch my computer on as I'm apparently downloading a virus or stuff I shouldn't be!!!

answered then hung up, just to charge them for the call :-)

Indian gentleman telling me he was from the world wide web.  He could tell my computer had a virus on it and wanted to help.
Asked him how he can sleep at night by scamming people. Told me he had not asked for money but that usually comes near the end of the call.
Informed him I was going to report him to the police and hung up.

possible scam

got call from 0012345678900 twice today I put number on my display phone now so when it rings pick it up and put it back down again

Got similar call from The Technical Dept of WWW. Cuoldn't get an image of Thunderbirds HQ out of my head. I played along for a while, pretended to be looking at msconfig and error reporting, but when he suggested I type in to a web site join.me I gave the chap a piece of my mind.

Caller tried to persuade me there were error messages being received from my computer and they would identify the problems free of charge - asked who they were and where they got my number from and they hung up. Do these people think we are idiots - tell them NOTHING!

The phone bleeped only three times. No number appeared on the screen. I dialled 1471. A metallic female voice read out the numbers, followed by "Please hang up!".

A "Silent" call from this number.

Add me to the list.

Come on Rovers from you East Anglian fan

Thanks to all the reporters that have gone before We need to tell the world about the scum who try to break in to our homes

Three 'dumb' calls from this number today - just left the line open until it timed out ;)

Just answered a call on my land-line. They stated my Microsoft windows based computer had errors on it! Massive scam. Please beware.

Continually receiving uninvited calls from this number. Usually no one answers. What can I do to Stop it.

19.15 and the land-line phone rings. I ignore it as this is the time of the day the unwanted callers ring.
I'm glad I didn't bother. Something must be done to stop these horrors invading our homes !!!

Purported to be calling about our TalkTalk phone account which we don't have.Heavy Indian accent.Asked them to stop pestering us.
