10 yearsi got a call from someone claiming my laptop was under attack and they needed to get in to fix it. when i started asking stuff, they said i was being a pain and it was all to help me. i ended the call but then they rang me again, sounding threatening and saying they’d lock me out of this and any future computers i get.10 yearsAn Indian bloke called me saying my PC was hacked. He said he’d got my Windows 40 licence number to prove he’s with Microsoft. Seemed fishy to me.Microsoft10 yearsI had this bloke from India calling me, pushing me to follow his instructions quick. I felt it was dodgy, so I played along and asked him which one of my ten computers he was supposedly hacking. He said all of them! When I asked for his contact number, he gave me 01183282243. Pretty obvious it was a con. I've already reported him to Action Fraud.IndiaAction Fraud10 yearsscam alert - stephanie price called me with the usual spiel about “your computer is infected, microsoft servers are warning about hackers”. totally the same nonsense everyone else has reported.Stephanie PriceMicrosoft10 yearsSo today the caller gave his name as Sean Wilson, which is not really the usual type of name I get from these numbers...Sean Wilson10 yearsBack on 15th August 2016, I got a call from someone named Stephanie Price with an American accent. It definitely felt dodgy, like some kind of scam. I reckon the police should be alerted about this.Stephanie Price10 yearsSome guy rang me up saying my computer was hacked and supposedly Microsoft got breached. He said they couldn’t send me an email to prove who they were because the hackers would just delete it. Claimed the hackers had total access to my PC but then suddenly asked if I could let him take control remotely! Haven’t called back since.Microsoft10 yearsGot a call off someone with a really Asian accent claiming to be this David Williams from Microsoft. He told me there was some issue with my operating system but the weird thing is I’m all about Macs, not Windows! I told him I’d call back and that’s when I grabbed the number. Looked it up online and turns out it’s a scam. Didn’t bother calling back, just reported the number instead.David WilliamsMicrosoft10 yearssomebody called pretending they were from microsoft, said there was an issue with my operating system. kinda strange since im a mac user! i didnt bother calling back. total scam, stay away from these people!MicrosoftMac10 yearsGot a call from someone saying there was an issue with my PC, supposedly from Oracle in Berkshire. They claimed to be Apple Support but also said they were with Oracle??? Bit confusing if you ask me. Luckily, I work in software, so I stalled them for about 15 minutes on the phone to keep them busy, hopefully stopping them from bothering anyone else for a bit.OracleBerkshireApple10 yearsFor the last three days I've been getting calls from someone saying they're with Micosoft. I told them flat out that they sounded like scammers, but they kept insisting they were legit!Microsoft10 yearsJust like loads of others have said, these lot ring up saying your computer has been sending out Microsoft error reports all by itself for weeks - pretty weird really. Especially when my PC hasn’t been switched on in ages, like over the past couple of months. They tried spinning some yarn about an ID linked to my mum’s name for the house, but I’m certain if anything, it’d be under my dad’s. Had a decent back-and-forth with a guy called “John” who seemed pretty aware I wasn’t falling for his rubbish once I started pointing out all the holes in his story. Felt good to chuck 15 minutes back at them - would definitely tell mates to do the same!Microsoft.John10 yearsGot a call saying my PC was hacked by Microsoft, then they wanted me to pay £400 to sort it out and get some sort of compensation. Total scam, obviously.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0118 328 2243)
