6 yearsWas setting up a printer and ended up getting handed over to this lot. Claimed they were from HP in Florida and told me my computer was hacked. Then they pushed me to pay £199 for extra security or else clear my computer. Total nonsense, don’t waste your time with them.FloridaHP6 yearsI was having trouble with installing Office 365 when I started a chat on their site. This “technician” suddenly began digging through my files without telling me he was going to take over my PC - he just asked me to enter some command. Felt really fishy, so I cut the call. Then, a woman named Jennifer kept ringing me back, wanting to reconnect to my computer. Pretty sure it was a scam to get back in. After that, I changed my bank pin and passwords straight away. Alan.JenniferAlan6 yearsBe careful, this number is faking being a helpline. They’re just after your bank info, so don’t say anything at all!6 yearsback in august 2020, I got a call from a fake helpline number that was actually trying to put malware on my computer. really watch out for that one! glad to save you the trouble. cheers, ian helpmabobIan6 yearssome bloke rang saying he was from norton security and wanted to put antivirus software remotely on my mum’s chromebook. i told him that sounded fishy and unsafe, and then he just dropped the call! bit funny really!Norton Security6 yearsI called for some assistance setting up my printer and these people said I had a virus. They claimed to be from Geek Squad Technologies and said they’d keep me safe forever for £400. They spent like an hour connected to my laptop. I didn’t hand over any bank info, but I’m a bit worried about what personal stuff they might’ve grabbed.Geek Squad Technologies6 yearsI had a very similar run-in when trying to get help setting up my new HP printer. A woman rang me from this number and said she needed remote access to my laptop to fix the syncing issue. She then started looking through my files and told me my antivirus wasn’t strong enough and that my laptop was in danger. It felt dodgy when she tried pushing me to buy Symantec antivirus for a whopping £120! I immediately told her to stop and return control of my computer as I wasn’t paying a penny. Funny thing is, HP tells you to report these scams to the US authorities, but I’m not sure how much that actually helps!HPUSA6 yearsI had a similar experience when I visited the HP site and got a customer service popup that called me back from a number based in Bodmin, Cornwall. The person claimed my computer was full of viruses, but we already subscribe to security software, and their claims didn’t hold up. Once I told them I wasn’t paying a penny, they just hung up straight away. Honestly, it freaks me out to think I might've accidentally let them into my PC!HPBodminCornwall6 yearsThis number just rang me claiming to be the HP printer support. They somehow got hold of my bank card info and managed to get into my PC. I've shut down my computer now, but not sure what might come next.HP6 yearsHad the same sort of run in as everyone else here. These folks are total scammers. Stay well away from them if you know what’s good for you.6 yearsI got a call from 01208530006 claiming to be from a Hewlett Packard support team, but it turned out to be a con. They managed to get into my laptop and spent nearly an hour looking at it, then told me there was a virus that was stopping HP from working. They wanted £399 to fix it. When I said I couldn’t afford that, they suddenly started offering discounts, which made me realise it must be a scam, so I just ended the call. Since then, they’ve even created a Facebook page in my name and might have accessed my LinkedIn, which I rarely use. This all happened on Tuesday 5th May 2020.Hewlett PackardHPFacebookLinkedIn6 yearsjust got off the phone with this number after what felt like forever, thought they were gonna fix my HP printer but turns out it was all a trick. honestly, i’m shook and a bit scared now, feels like i can't trust my laptop at all anymore. i’m 67 and this guy's done a number on me, not with cash maybe but definitely with my peace of mind. he’s won in his own way, big time!7 yearsYeah, I had the exact same experience, really worrying stuff. He managed to access my laptop, but I’m still not sure if anything got messed up.7 yearsGot a call from someone who said they were HP support, sounded pretty convincing and seemed to know his stuff. The guy had an Asian accent and mentioned he was calling from India. When I tried to call the number back, turns out it was actually based in Florida!
