9 yearsWhile I was investigating details about the Whitby blaze, they attempted to restrict access to my wife's laptop.Whitby9 yearsI had a rather alarming experience myself today. I unintentionally granted them remote access, and to my horror, they secured my laptop with a password. Afterwards, they presented me with three payment choices, ranging from £297 to £5. When I declined their offers, they promptly severed the connection. Quite the ordeal, I must say!9 yearsI had quite the ordeal with my new laptop recently. It seems that a dodgy pop-up appeared, masquerading as a Microsoft notification, and flashed an 0800 number claiming my 30-day Microsoft Office trial had come to an end. They tried to pressure me into parting with £199.00, but I stood my ground and refused to pay. Absolute cheek!MicrosoftMicrosoft OfficeSubmit Your Own Report (0800 046 5280)
