13 yearsI've experienced a similar situation myself! They claimed to be from Microsoft, and regrettably, I fell for it. They ended up taking remote access to my computer, which was absolutely terrifying. I've learned my lesson, and I can assure you, I won't be fooled like that again!Microsoft13 yearsA bloke rang up looking for me, but when my 11-year-old lad informed him I wasn’t available, the chap quickly tried to pull a fast one on him. Thankfully, my son handed the phone over to me. I'm absolutely appalled!13 yearsI received a rather irate call from a lady who insisted that I allow her to access my computer to resolve a virus issue. The moment I pushed back and questioned her motives, she abruptly disconnected. Quite the odd encounter, to say the least!13 yearsI recently received a rather peculiar phone call from a lady insisting I should boot up my computer. When I pressed her for details, she simply claimed she needed to examine my Junk files. I made it clear that I hadn’t contacted any technical support and strongly suspected it was a scam. As I was in the process of stating that I was terminating the call, the moment she caught on to the word "scam," she abruptly ended the conversation. Quite the dodgy encounter, if you ask me!13 yearsI've just had yet another call from these pesky computer scammers. I told the woman on the line to hold on as I needed to start up my computer-only takes a moment, really. Well, she was on the line for ages, just waiting... and waiting... and waiting... It was almost amusing. Eventually, it seems she understood the hint and hung up!13 yearsI received a call from some bloke who insisted I was on my computer and claimed he was there to assist me with enhancing my virus protection. The thing is, I wasn’t even near my computer! To top it off, the device linked to my address is under my husband’s name, not mine. When I pointed this out, he had the audacity to tell me to end the call and keep my mouth shut! Absolutely appalled by his rudeness!13 yearsI’ve had the very same experience as quite a few others here. A woman rang me, claiming there were all sorts of dodgy files lurking on my computer and that she could assist in tidying things up. I cheekily asked, “Which machine are we discussing? I’ve got two!” Then I let her know she was talking nonsense, as I’d only just done a fresh software install on both. Told her to take her scam elsewhere and ended the call. This marks the fourth time this month I’ve been pestered by these con artists.Submit Your Own Report (01978 823247)
