They said they were calling from O2 and warned me my SIM would get blocked soon, telling me I had to get a replacement SIM right away.

I got a call from 023 8097 2236 earlier but didn’t pick up. I’ve got no one around Southampton, so I reckon it’s probably a scam. I’ve decided to block the number now.

This number kept ringing me, claiming I was due a refund from O2. They switched between like four different phone numbers before my phone finally flagged it as possible spam. I’m a bit concerned because I ended up giving them my sort code and bank details. Can anyone tell me what I should do?

This number was used by someone pretending to be from Barclays and managed to get hold of my dad’s bank card, then went ahead and spent money before the bank noticed. They tricked an elderly man, making him think he was actually talking to his bank. If you get calls from this number, it might be linked to a Sebastian Merga. Definitely report it to the police or Action Fraud so they can stop this person before they scam more people.

At first, I got a call from one number saying there was a problem with my Norton security code I bought at Argos. Then, the same person rang me again but from a differnt number, asking me to pay £99 to sort out the supposed issue. It seemed like a total rip-off and I nearly got tricked. After that, I phoned the original number, 0151 528 7831, and found out it’s an actual tech support business, but they do charge for their service. Just be careful!

Once again, there’s been a breach involving the Argos scam reporting system. It seems like the security around that has been compromised.

I received a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, insisting that my computer was infected with viruses and offering to sort it out for me. I fired off numerous questions, and he managing to provide convincing answers. However, just as I began to feel uneasy about the whole situation, he was already breaching my system’s security. It’s been nothing short of a nightmare, leaving me feeling utterly stressed and inconvenienced. I urge everyone to steer clear of this number!

Be cautious if you're attempting to gain remote access to your computer-it's essential to be vigilant.

Beware of a scam outfit masquerading as Microsoft support. They're trying to extract money from folks by claiming they’re fixing a virus issue they’ve supposedly planted on your computer. Please, steer clear of any phone call from them and certainly don't grant them remote access to your device. Stay safe!

I got a pop-up on my laptop saying there was a trojan, and it told me to ring this number claiming to be Microsoft support. But after I scanned the whole thing with my antivirus, it didn’t find anything wrong.

Got a call supposedly from Microsoft saying to ring 0238 097 2328, but it felt dodgy. My security software normally catches stuff like this. The call came right after visiting the Argos website.

I tried to sign into the Argos site and suddenly my computer started acting weird. A voice came on saying the PC was “locked and compromised” and told me not to turn it off but to call some 023 number straightaway. Luckily, I just unplugged my internet and everything seemed alright after. It was obviously a dodgy scam, even though it looked proper official with all the Microsoft logos and stuff. Makes you wonder if the words ‘scam’ and ‘scum’ are related, given how low these folk stoop.

Got a call from someone saying they're from Windows Defender. Said they could fix my PC but sounded like a trick to control my computer remotely. Be careful, it’s a scam!

So I was on the Argos site when suddenly a warning popped up saying my computer was hacked and locked for safety. It showed a number claiming to be from Microsoft. After chatting on the phone for around 20 minutes, I started to feel it was dodgy and decided to just end the call.

Someone hacked into my PC and told me it was locked for security issues. They then gave me a number to call Microsoft on, which was 02380972328. Pretty sure it's a scam, so watch out!

Got a call from someone named William Barnett who said he was with Visa, looking into a dodgy payment from abroad. Sounds like a pretty smart scam to me, trying to freak you out about fraud. Watch out!
