10 yearsYesterday, I received an unsolicited call claiming that my computer was under attack and that I had to grant them access immediately, which, I regret to admit, I did. The so-called "Executive" on the line provided me with this number and even went so far as to request a payment to 'renew my licence.' It was at that point the penny finally dropped, and I understood the gravity of my mistake. Now, I'm worried that my personal information might have been compromised. I've already informed my bank and internet service provider and have taken the additional step of reaching out to Trading Standards and Action Fraud today.Executive10 yearsI had a rather suspicious call today from a chap who sounded like he might be from India or thereabouts. He claimed to represent Microsoft and insisted that there was some dodgy stuff happening on my computer - apparently, someone was trying to breach its security. He was quite pushy, urging me to turn it on straight away. When I asked for a callback number instead, he provided 01244 941079. Honestly, I’m not feeling too inclined to ring him back...IndiaMicrosoft10 yearsReceived a dodgy call from a number claiming to be Microsoft. Definitely a scam!Microsoft10 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a really heavy Indian accent who was asking to get into my computer. When I said no, he started getting all rude and abusive, then threatened to make my computer crash. Proper dodgy experience.10 yearsGot a call from this number, although the caller ID showed as withheld. The man said he was with Microsoft from Reading, but when I requested his phone number, it was clear it wasn’t a local Reading area code, even though I live quite close there. I asked when he might call again and gave a pretty late time, knowing the official Microsoft office would still be open then. He claimed he wouldn’t be free at that hour, which immediately felt dodgy. Definitely a scam, especially since he got really annoyed when I didn’t just go along with it.MicrosoftReading10 yearsSo this bloke rang me up saying he was from Microsoft, but it was pretty clear it was a scam.Microsoft10 yearssome guy called jack williams rang me up, speaking with a thick asian accent, saying he was from microsoft. he tried to prove who he was by quoting my software licence number. he said the call was from the london office but the number had a std code from chester?? total rubbish if u ask me.Jack WilliamsMicrosoftLondonChester10 yearsGot a call that was hidden on my phone, but the operator gave the number as 01244941079. The bloke claimed he worked for Microsoft’s Reading office and was talking about errors on my Windows PC. Total con. When I asked him for the IP addresses of my firewall’s external interfaces, he couldn’t provide any info and then started shouting at me for supposedly not getting IT security. Just so you know, I’m actually CISSP certified - though I doubt he had a clue what that meant. Such a scam!ReadingMicrosoft10 yearsI've just had a call from a guy who was really unpleasant on the phone. He started by saying he was ringing from Microsoft, but when I told him we only use Apple products at home, he suddenly switched and said he was actually from the Apple security support team. I managed to note down the number he used, 01244 941079, and when I searched it online, it led me straight to this forum. The bloke, who gave his name as Mike Thompson, then began threatening to block my IP and disrupt all connected devices. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, so watch out for calls like this!MicrosoftAppleGoogleMike Thompson10 yearsSome bloke called Michael Rodgers claiming he was from Microsoft, but you could tell from his thick Asian accent it was dodgy. He kept pushing to get into my computer, said it would crash if I didn't let him. This has happened loads of times and every time I just said no.MicrosoftMichael Rodgers10 yearsI got a call from someone trying to get into my computer, so I rang my elderly parents straight away. Sounds like one of those nasty scams going about.10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Michael Rodgers, saying he was from Microsoft. Had a strong Asian accent, which was a bit suspicious.
