3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Norton, said my subscription was overcharging me. They told me I had just a day to sort it out. Sketchy much!Norton9 yearsI got this number off a bit of a mix-up with an insurance claim.10 yearsI had a similar experience recently. When we rang them up, they kept us chatting for ages and then suddenly demanded £199 for a yearly subscription. We didn't hesitate to hang up on him!10 yearsI just got one of those supposed Microsoft alerts - they said my PC was locked, both on the screen and a voice message. They were telling me to ring this number, but honestly, it’s pretty dodgy. You’d think Microsoft would have some sort of 'scam number verifier' to help people spot these, but nope, nothing like that exists. To top it off, the number they want you to call is actually based in Reading, which makes the whole thing even more sketchy!MicrosoftReading10 yearsI just got a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft, trying to trick me into giving them complete control of my PC - they even wanted stuff like my bank info and all.

A message appeared on the screen instructing me to call this number. I ended up paying £149 for what was supposed to be a year's worth of antivirus protection.
