Got a call from 0800 041 88 14, and the person said they're from Microsoft. Seems a bit dodgy to me!

Seriously, folks, be careful. Only fools get caught out by this sort of thing. Best to just give it a miss.

First thing I got a call and then a message from someone saying they were from Norton. They wanted me to let them take control of my computer. I guess I was pretty silly to even think about it.

Tonight, our laptop suddenly played a scary alarm telling us it was from Microsoft and we had to ring a certain number to unlock the PC and not to shut it down. So I dialled the number, and a guy named John Howard answered, claiming he was from Microsoft. He sounded really genuine at first, but when I refused to give him any ID, he just hung up on me! What a scam!
