8 yearsI received a call claiming that my computer had been hacked, and this bloke assured me he could sort it out. No way this chap was an actual Microsoft techie!Microsoft8 yearsI managed to access my mate’s PC through TeamViewer and Supremo. Locked it up with a system password, encrypted all his files - pictures, videos, docs - the lot. Even drained some cash from his account and set up a hefty loan, more than £8000, all under his name. When they couldn’t get back into his computer, I called and dropped some seriously racist swear words. It’s such a shame to see tech skills used this way. Caused him nothing but trouble for well over a year, starting around April 2017.TeamViewerSupremoSyslock8 yearsI’ve just returned home to discover that my mate had a lengthy phone chat for over two hours with some persistent folks. What a typical scenario! They managed to get into his computer and were demanding more payments. Absolutely dreadful! It’s one of those “premium” numbers, but don’t be deceived by that. I can’t fathom why neither the phone provider nor the authorities have stepped in. I’ve forcefully switched off my friend’s computer and plan to examine the hard drive with another machine. Stay vigilant!8 yearsI got a call from this number and actually gave them my password, but now I’m starting to think it’s some kind of scam. I can’t get into my computer at all. What should I do now???8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, totally a scam. Just a heads up to everyone, be careful!Microsoft8 yearsI had a right laugh with them!

He went on about hackers messing with my computer. Called himself Steve Wisdom, but he wasn’t very clever as I kept him waiting ages on the line. Told him I’d ring back later, and he gave me this number: 01183282061. Both numbers seem to be linked to scams, watch out!MicrosoftSteve Wisdom8 yearsI received a call from 0118 328 2061, and the chap on the other end claimed that my online activities were creating issues for other computers. When I inquired further about how he knew this, despite already having paid for malware protection and having a tech-savvy mate, he just kept interrupting me. He alleged he was representing Microsoft, but in his long-winded speech, he referenced something about my 'administration' system, which sounded rather fishy. I decided to hang up as it was clear he was not only speaking with a heavy accent from overseas but was also someone not to be believed.Microsoft8 yearsSome bloke called Edwin said he was from Microsoft. Sure, like I’m gonna believe that.EdwinMicrosoft8 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, saying my PC was infected with a virus.
