Has the F1Compstep company shut its doors? We're curious about their location as well. Could you help us track down the advertisement? Thank you!

It appears this was a scam operation involving As One Computer, which falsely asserts that your computer is plagued by viruses. They even go as far as claiming they possess information from your internet service provider, allegedly BT in this instance. The individuals behind this ruse assert that they're calling from within the UK, but that's far from the truth. Their level of expertise is questionable at best. If you happen to receive a call from them, try to keep them on the line for as long as you can; it might just prevent them from targeting someone else! ๐Ÿ˜

I recently encountered a rather dodgy group who rang me up, insisting they were from some tech support and that my computer had fallen victim to a virus. They pretended to have information linked to my internet service provider, claiming to be associated with BT. However, it was evident they were not based in the UK at all. They truly didn't have the faintest idea of what they were talking about. If you ever get a call like this, keep them chatting as long as you can - it might just prevent them from bothering someone else! ๐Ÿ˜

I received a call just now from someone claiming to be associated with Microsoft, insisting they knew about our sluggish computer performance!

It appears we’ve encountered the very same company as before. They handed over this contact number, yet our phone displayed 052573182, which is the same number we received last week. This time, a female voice with an Asian accent reached out. She offered us a website to visit-www.sficompstepuk-and urged us to log in. Rest assured, we definitely will not be doing that!

I received a call from this number claiming to be from some tech support, insisting that our computer was throwing error messages and that they were calling on Microsoft’s behalf. They asked us to visit their website and download a so-called fix. The moment we mentioned that we had no idea who they were and suspected it was a scam, they abruptly hung up. It definitely felt like they were trying to gain access to our PC.

This has been the Asian Microsoft scam that's been peddling its nonsense since 2008. The cleverest approach is to keep them chatting on the line but feed them a stream of misleading information. That way, they end up racking up hefty phone charges and squandering their own time. Remember, Microsoft won't ever call you at home!

Total waste of time-no useful info whatsoever. Just tell them to shove off!

I had a call from this company and we asked when we could get in touch again. A chap named "Mark" gave us the number 02033185274 to call back, and sure enough, he answered. We mentioned that our computer had unfortunately given up on us and wouldn’t switch on. After that, she simply disappeared. Quite the outcome!

We received a call from F1compset, claiming that they were informed by Microsoft to fix our computer. They ended up charging us £80 for the repair and enrolled us in some sort of quarterly payment scheme. Not long after, our computer completely failed and we had to revert it to factory settings. We’re now in the process of reporting them to Trading Standards. Honestly, what else can we say about this outfit other than they’re absolutely dodgy? Steering clear of them is definitely the way to go!

I recently encountered a firm claiming to be a computer maintenance service, f1comstep.com. I had a conversation with a gentleman named Roger, who appeared to be of Asian descent. He insisted they operate out of London but outright declined to provide an address. It felt like a complete scam to me. I would strongly recommend informing Trading Standards about this. And a word of caution: never divulge your passwords, bank details, or any personal information to callers over the phone-especially when the call is unsolicited. The red flags are clear for anyone willing to see them!

I recently had an unsettling encounter with a company that claims to be a computer maintenance service, going by the name f1comstep.com. I had a chat with a chap named Roger, an Asian gentleman, who insisted they were based in London yet balked at providing any physical address. Quite the dubious operation, to say the least! I would strongly recommend alerting Trading Standards about them. Remember, it’s absolutely vital to guard your personal details; never divulge passwords, banking information, or any sensitive data over the phone, especially when you're receiving unsolicited calls. All the red flags were there!

We encountered the same company once more. They’ve given us this number to reach out, but our phone displayed it as 052573182, which is the same as last week. This time, it was an Asian woman on the line. She directed us to their website, w. sficompstepuk, urging us to visit it. Rest assured, we have no intention of doing so!

Hello everyone, It appears that we might be dealing with a rather crafty scam making its way around at the moment. In the latest issue of the Computeractive magazine, there’s an informative piece tucked away on page 6. They've put out a call for anyone receiving a suspicious call to gather as much intel as possible-names, numbers, IDs, and the like-and send it over to them via email at consumeractive 'at' computeractive. co. uk. As for who to inform about this unsettling issue, I’m rather at a loss. Is this a phone scam or something related to computers? Ofcom or ICSTIS-whatever it’s called now-doesn’t seem like the right place to report it either. Cheers, Phil.
