  • Just had a call from this number but not about my computer. It was a recorded message telling me they had info about my payment protection. Just thought I would share that it's not always about the pc.

    I've had the computer one at least twice in the last fortnight, and today was the industrial damage to hearing one.

    I rarely swear but I did tell the one last week to f*** off.
  • I got one once "from microsoft" and he told me to go through various procedures. It took him about ten minutes of trying to explain how to open menus and things until the penny dropped that I have an Apple Mac!
  • This number just rang me, but I didn't answer it. I googled it and this brought me here.
