I had someone try to ‘resolve my laptop issues remotely’, claiming to be a technician from Microsoft. Complete charlatans, if you ask me!

This con has been going on for more than 15 years now, yet people still end up getting caught out. It’s like they don’t pay attention to what’s happening around them at all!

Got a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft techs saying they’d repaired my computer, but really they just put malware on it to steal my cash. Luckily, I got my money back after contacting my bank.
