Caller: scamming scumbags Calls repeatedly, unknown number to me, disconnects few seconds after phone call answered. Typical behaviour of scammers setting the path for another barrage of harassing and endless nuisance calls. Australian Govt and service providers surely must be able to put a stop to this abuse of invasive phone harassment by scumbag scammers.

Caller: Some lowlife pretending to be from Microsoft As other people have said, claims to be from Microsoft saying they have reports someone has attempted to hack my system and I should turn on my computer etc etc. Just hung up on them but these sorts of calls really disgust me as they prey on the weak and vulnerable grrrrr!

Caller: An a**hole from Microsoft I played along and when I said I owned a Mac he told me I wasted his f#@king time, I am illiterate, a disgrace to my husband and son (I’m not married lol) oh and that I am a horrible woman.
I called the number back it rings but the little rat keeps rejecting my call!
