microsoft engineer scam

sunrise27_2

don't know if anyone can help but I'm having problems with those microsoft engineer calls - always an indian man and always telling me I've been sending malicious error reports from my computer but when I do 1471 the number is not recognised is there any way I can complain or stop these calls

Don't think so.

Feel free to post your experience.
The current record for keeping these muppets hanging around is 1 hour 45 minutes.

Ignore them-everyone in the UK has had these calls, whether you have a PC or not. TPS can't stop them as they originate outside the UK (despite the caller usually claiming to be 'Edward from Cheltenham';)

No offense to the OP but I wish there was a big flashing sticky for this problem.

tell them straight away you do not have a computer or broadband !!! and hang up.

There's no need to tell them anything-just put the phone down.
You don't have to stand there listening to their abuse...

I have a play with them if I am in the mood when they call, I even managed to get one to hang up on me once! Told them they should not be able to see the virus I was writing in my sandbox!
