6 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from Yahoo, warning me my account was hacked and trying to convince me to let them access my computer.Yahoo7 yearsPretending to be QuickBooks Online UK support, they ask people to type in commands on their computer and then request payment to fix the problem. They say there’s an issue with the IP address that’s stopping access to certain parts of the website. This was just a scam to charge for a fix that QuickBooks UK support already sorted out by switching browsers. Just so everyone knows, the genuine QuickBooks Online support phone number is 0808 234 5337.UK7 yearsSomebody rang up sayin they could sort my QuickBooks for 50 quid, but then they asked me to put my bank card info into Notepad while using some remote access thing. Seemed fishy to me!QuickBooks7 yearsSomebody from Canada rang an elderly pensioner, convincing her she’d been hacked and then swindled £99 out of her. Absolutely shocking behaviour!Canada7 yearsSteared clear of Yarhoo UK after they tried to make me pay £69 just to reset my password. If you're thinking of getting help from them, better check Google properly first!Yarhoo UK8 yearsWatch out for scammers!9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Google tech support, but then they started asking me for payment to sort out some issue. About 20 minutes afterwards, I noticed someone from India tried to break into my Amazon account, but luckily I managed to stop them!GoogleIndiaAmazon10 yearsI rang this number thinking it was Google’s Gmail support because that’s what they said. Spent a good hour and a half going round in circles, then they suddenly asked me to pay for some security software. I gave up at that point. The real problem is you can’t get hold of Google directly, so you don’t really know if the person on the end is legit or not...Google10 yearsThey asked for £150 to sort out my email account. Bit cheeky if you ask me!10 yearsGot this number from Vodafone 'cause I was having trouble with my Gmail account. They wanted £80 to sort it out.VodafoneGmail11 yearsSo I got a call about an issue with my Gmail, and they wanted me to pay £150 for some software to fix it. They said my computer had a worm called koobface, which freaked me out a bit. What's weird is that I was given their phone number by Carphone Warehouse when I asked about my Gmail trouble.Carphone Warehouse11 yearsI ended up ringing this number I found listed on a site claiming to be Gmail support, which actually connected me to Mayas Services (mayaservice.co.uk). They told me I had to pay £70 to fix my issue and secure my email account properly. Weirdly, they also accessed the internet using my details from India, logging in with Chrome on Windows and Firefox, even though I have a MacBook and don’t use either of those browsers. Honestly, people should watch out for this trick. I genuinely believed I was speaking to Gmail’s support team, and that’s how I got scammed!GmailMayas ServicesmayaservicecoukIndiaSubmit Your Own Report (0800 031 4243)
