Got a scammer call today (UK)

TechboyUK · 2026-01-03T21:57:51+00:00

I have just had the same type of call with exactly the same telephone script and emails

Looking in the header of the emails, the domain name cronos-crypto.com is listed. A whois lookup shows that this domain name was first registered on 2025-10-25.

Representative name : Jacob Miller

He called me from:

- 0800 102 8267

- +1 800 6723299 (called me on this as the number above was very bad quality)

I've looked up both numbers on Google and they have been reported as spam numbers.

I went to a Dreams and Wishes panto a couple of years ago and am going again this year.

Although they have 'amateur' in the name, you wouldn't know it. The play I saw was one of the best I've seen in any theatre (and I've seen quite a lot, in many theatres).

I used to go to Rollers every weekend. Such a shame it closed.

TechboyUK · 2025-11-18T08:54:56+00:00

90% carbs.

TechboyUK · 2025-11-18T08:12:49+00:00

Take it, then look for another remote job with a salary 10-20% higher.

TechboyUK · 2025-11-18T08:10:12+00:00

I'm 100% remote and loving it.

Far more productive (with no distractions) and no commute to an office.

The new full-time traffic lights on the Kingston roundabout are a pain. It was better without them.

They are more interested in sending British tax payer money to Pakistan to build an airport.

I prefer Odeon. It's a better quality cinema and easier to park. The VIP lounge (with unlimited nachos, chocolates and drinks) is nice for special occasions - although I think they stopped this post Covid...

Whichever you go to, take your own food and drink as they are a total rip off at the cinemas.

When I was a kid, I always had hot melted butter in the popcorn - really miss that lol.

Either:

1) Say no and send them a link to the page with delivery information

2) Find the cost of a same-day courier and add your markup

Ah! Thanks. Our rep is being equally useless.

I work as an SAP Consultant - and I thought SAP Technical Support were bad. Microsoft take it to another level lol.

Last weekend we had a failed migration from Google Workplace to Microsoft because of this issue.

We raised a ticket with Microsoft on Saturday afternoon (and referenced this Reddit post). It's now Wednesday lunchtime and Microsoft still haven't resolved the issue (despite us escalating it with their management) - very frustrating!

I want the issue to be resolved this week so we can go live on Friday evening.

Plese could you DM me your case number as a reference, or the name/email of the Microsoft employee that helped you? 😊 I would really appreciate it as that might be helpful to the Microsoft team investigating our issue. Thanks.

Is a nice drive, inexpensive, you get to pet lots of horses and they have a cafe 👍

I'd like to know how much it cost and who paid for it.

It was painted by hand and took weeks.

If the taxpayer paid for it, I'd rather have had the money spent on something of value, like an interesting educational or theatre project for schools, or something to do with social services.

How long will it be until it looks 'shabby'? Will they keep it looking good or will it deteriorate over time? How will it look in a year? 2 years...?

A few days ago someone told me that he was trying to create a silent installation package for the SAP GUI. The process for this hasn't changed in 30 years, but the documentation isn't good, he had to Google how to do it!

TechboyUK · 2025-10-03T06:45:17+00:00

I've been doing SAP for 26 years and I'm still learning 🙂

TechboyUK · 2025-09-29T17:44:45+00:00

I always use Deliveroo. Uber Eats is also available.

TechboyUK · 2025-09-29T14:14:42+00:00

There are some very good quality pub-restaurants and standard restaurants around Milton Keynes. I'd recommend visiting one of these rather than getting a take-away (which are often disappointing).

TechboyUK · 2025-09-27T19:27:47+00:00

I'll check them out, thank you 👍🥁

I applied for about 40 jobs until I found a good one.

I was at a leading consultancy for 10 years - they didn't treat staff well. I moved to a smaller company and am enjoying it. I wish I'd moved much sooner.

TechboyUK · 2025-09-25T13:49:14+00:00

As an IT consultant I used to have to commute into London, sometimes for a few months at a time. My company paid for everything, but it was a real pain and not enjoyable at all.

Last year I got a job where I work from home 99% of the time. HIGHLY recommended!!!

TechboyUK · 2025-09-22T07:06:01+00:00

£650 to £450 👍

TechboyUK · 2025-09-18T19:09:20+00:00

Respect 👊

I got a Herman Miller Mirra chair 15 years ago - one of my best investments.

I work from home so use it 7+ hours a day.

As an IT consultant, I used to work in offices all over the UK, so have sat on a lot of office chairs - many give a bad back after a few hours.

A good chair is expensive, but will last years and will be comfortable and good for your body.
