anemone reported unknown with the number 01226490001 as Harassment calls
Has called twice in past two hours. First time, silence heard, then a pick-up in what is obviously a foreign call centre of multiple cold callers. I told Asian male I spoke with to take number off list and then hung up. He called back and I repeated my request. He said "I will NEVER take your number off my list. What will YOU do about it?" I told him I would I would report to the authorities and hung up. Extremely rude, belligerent, harassing cold-caller. These people need to be arrested for harassment.

Called us climning to be from MIcrosoft about a malware issue with our computer; caller said his name was Jonathan Hastings. Was very aggressive when asked to verify his identify, and then called straight back after I hung up and was extremely rude. Beware!

Hugh reported unknown with the number +441226490001 as Cost trap
Asian caller said he was calling on behalf of Microsoft customer support and that my computer was infected with malware and was being used for illegal activity. Said they would disable its licence within the hour, then 5 pm, then midnight. Tried to get me to allow remote access to it and got a tad shirty when I refused. Would not listen to me without interruption and called back a number of times when I hung up. Nasty.

Had a call from this number this morning. Man said his name was Mike. Yeah, right. Sounded very Peter Sellers. So whilst he's telling what to type, so he can access my computer, I went to Youtube and found The Halleluyah Chorus. He got it full blast!

3dogs reported MS Windows with the number 01226490001 as Harassment calls
Phoned 5 times within 20 mins this morning. I have viruses on my Windows computer and can I just type a few words in to the Run command so they can access. I know it's childish but I kept them on the phone for best part of 10 minutes and they got very frustrated with this stupid person. I then said I only have Apple Mac's and I hope I've wasted their time as they do mine all too often. This type of scam call isn't covered by TPS which is a shame. Oh and then he called me a b*tch which is the 2nd time in 2 days. Nice.

Aka reported FAKE MICROSOFT with the number 01226490001 as Cost trap
Asian voice - very clear so probably in UK - but with VOIP who knows. Said he was calling from Microsoft - laughed loudly at him - he asked why I was laughing so I said he must know - but I was not quite so polite. These are scam artists who attempt to get remote access to computer, lock and encrypt it then ask for a lot of money to give it back.

Mr Welch reported unknown with the number 01226490001 as Cost trap
Clearly a scam call. I have called twice this week already by an Asian Guy who said he was from Windows 10. Because I always answer the phone by "Hello" these days to try and identify if the caller is genuine or not by forcing them to speak I immediately responded in French and he hadn't a clue what I was saying and kept waffling on about sledged computer problems and eventually hung up as he hadn't a clue what I was talking about..

Tax reported Lifestyle survey with the number 01226490001 as Survey
Aggressive Asian man claiming to be called ray.
When I declined survey and said no thanks. He advised that I would have to face the consequences !
Appalling given he recited my home address. Imagine if I'd been vulnerable or elderly .
Scandalous bully technique. Will be taking this further!

Called by an Indian guy identified himself as Peter. Call centre noise in background. Said it regarded my Windows computer (which I don't have) so I told him to stick his scam up his back bottom
