9 yearsSo, I got this weird pop-up on my Mac - a blue screen warning about a virus trojan and telling me not to close it or I'd lose everything on my hard drive. It showed a white screen with a number to call, so I rang it but didn’t feel right after a few minutes and hung up. I then turned off my Mac and turned it back on, and everything seems fine now. Later on, I got a call from someone claiming they were from Apple asking if I’d had any issues with my Mac. I told them everything seemed fine and they just ended the call. Pretty suspicious, right? I’m worried they might’ve left some malware on my computer even though it’s running okay so far.Apple9 yearsMy computer got hit by some Trojan virus that froze everything and gave me a message to ring 0800-368-8157 to fix it. It also said not to turn off or reboot the PC or I’d lose stuff or break it. I ignored that number and instead plan to contact McAfee for assistance.McAfee9 yearsI ended up talking to them thinking they were from Microsoft. They asked me for money, which I refused to give, but somehow they still managed to get into my laptop.Microsoft10 yearsI received a call from what appeared to be a toll-free number claiming to be IT support after I encountered an issue with my explorer. Upon ringing the number, they identified themselves as Itec support and requested to remotely access my computer to assist with the problem. Now, I'm left wondering if I've inadvertently introduced any viruses or malware, so I'm currently running a thorough virus scan. I hadn’t intended on enrolling in their service, yet I did provide them with my computer's product ID to verify my account status with them. It’s beginning to feel like a scam, and I’m rather anxious about whether I’ve incurred any charges for that 0800 call...Itec10 yearsI was browsing on my iPad using Safari when this weird message popped up out of nowhere. It said something about Windows spotting the ZEUS virus and warned my hard drive was infected. It also told me not to restart my device. Then there was a number to call for “technical support” - 0800 368 8157 - and some code, BZ957E. Definitely looked dodgy to me!Submit Your Own Report (0800 368 8157)
