10 yearsI got a warning on my laptop saying it was infected, but my antivirus showed no issues at all. The number they wanted me to ring was the one mentioned here. Realising it was dodgy, I just shut down my laptop and turned it back on without any problems. Lucky for me, I don’t keep my personal info or bank details on this device, plus I don’t use Facebook or Twitter, so no harm done.FacebookTwitter10 yearsI rang them up earlier, lucky for me it was about an xbox so they didn't really care and said the xbox team wouldn't be available for another 10 hours. I started panicking a bit. Then the guy told me to just reboot the xbox and ended the call. I did the restart and everything seems okay now... hopefully.Xbox10 yearsI’ve been seeing this warning pop up on my laptop for ages, mostly when I’m using Chrome, but I mostly ignored it until today. My clever mate convinced me to ring the number just to be on the safe side. She’s pretty tech savvy, so I trusted her advice. When I rang, I made sure my caller ID was hidden ‘cos I didn’t wanna give them my real details. I even stuck a bit of paper over my laptop’s camera and tried talking with a different accent. No one picked up after a couple of rings, just some music playing. Then on my third try, I heard my exact words echoed back and there was this faint tapping noise, which freaked me out a bit. I’ve started a full scan with AVG just to be safe now, fingers crossed they get flagged for whatever they’re doing! X10 yearsThis bloke said on my laptop that if I didn’t sort things out with him, he’d shut down my computer. Then he went on asking for £300 to fix the “issue”. I couldn’t afford that kinda cash so I just cut the call. Meanwhile, he was messing around with my computer remotely the whole time.10 yearsI got a message on my son's PC saying it would get locked soon so I phoned the number provided and was answered by a woman speaking with an Indian accent. Thankfully, my son came running in and stopped the whole thing before it went any further. He was annoyed at me for making the call, knowing they were scammers. Luckily, I didn’t give away any details. Still, I’m quite anxious they might manage to hack his computer and steal our info. Now he’s really cross with me! 😔10 yearsEarlier today, my laptop suddenly showed an error claiming Windows Defender had found a threat and urged me to ring 020 3868 0181. Honestly, I freaked out since I keep loads of important stuff on there, so I phoned the number. The guy answering had a strong Indian accent, and after a good 20 minutes on the call, he kept trying to remotely connect to my machine. We attempted the remote access over five times, but it just wouldn’t hook up. Eventually, it clicked that if it was really important, why wasn’t he just telling me what to do instead of insisting on control? Plus, I soon realised my Windows Defender wasn’t even switched on, so the warning was fake. BE WARNED, THIS IS A SCAM! Don’t fall for it!10 yearsI’m certain this is a total scam. Definitely not Microsoft calling.Microsoft10 yearsI've had loads of calls like this lately, so I looked them up. They claim to be from Microsoft's tech support, but the people answering have really bad English accents and sound like they're from India. Watch out for these sorts of calls - they're reported all the time. They say they want to fix your Microsoft issues, but really they're just scammers trying to get your personal info and rob your bank accounts. Just tell them to jog on and hang up straight away. Don't trust them at all!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (020 3868 0181)
