Took one of those calls a few months ago. I made out I was struggling to understand the person calling and kept asking who they were wishing to speak to. The response from the caller was "do you think I'm stupid?" The lady then swore at me before hanging up. What annoyed me the most was that she hung up before I got chance to be angry with the caller.Has anyone else noticed, that these people ringing saying they are from Microsoft and that your computer has been hacked are getting more and more aggressive. They are quite polite when they first introduce themselves, but as soon as they realise that you are not going to listen to them they then become very agitated and aggressive. I’ve had two or three of these calls recently from a withheld international number and they seem to have Indian accents.
Just this morning we had a couple of 'Out of area' calls. I let the first one talk to the answering machine, the normal thing we do for these type of numbers. If it is a genuine call then we can call them back. The second call was the same ID as the first; they rang off after three rings.
