I had a call from someone claiming to be working for Microsoft, and they somehow convinced my elderly grandma, who’s 88, to let them access her computer. While they had control, they managed to get her to send them £500 through a bank transfer. Definitely looks like a scam to me!

Looks like a scam to me - these lot claimed to be from Microsoft, tricked an 88 year old lady, and managed to get control of her computer. While she was distracted, they persuaded her to send £500 through BACS!

Just had an older lady pop into the Post Office asking about paying £600 to some company called Global Tech. Apparently her PC started acting up and she got a message telling her to ring this number, offering three options (£200, £400 or £600 for some lifetime cover). The weird thing is, she didn’t reach out to them first, so I’m puzzled how they got her info in the first place. I’ve directed her to a local bloke who fixes computers to have a proper look and talk things through. Fingers crossed we’ve managed to stop her from getting scammed.

My mother in law got caught up in a scam by this outfit and ended up sending a £400 cheque to their address in Ilford. They claimed she qualified for a £100 discount since she’s retired. Absolute rubbish! Luckily, she rang me after the call so I told her to cancel the cheque and she reported it to her bank. It was similar to what’s described here - a fake blue screen popped up on her laptop warning about a virus.

My laptop suddenly got locked, and I got a message on screen plus a voice recording claiming to be from Microsoft, with a number to call for assistance. When I rang, I was taken through a bunch of steps before being told my computer had no protection. They said I needed to pay £400 for two years of security and had to send a cheque to Global Trade and Services Ltd., at 440 New North Road, Ilford, Essex, IG6 3EB by the next day. They warned that if I didn’t pay, my computer would be locked again. After posting the cheque, they told me to ring 0800 3688203 and everything would be fixed.

My mum and dad got their computer locked up, and then this number popped up on their screen. When they phoned it, someone offered them a three-year coverage deal for £400. Just a heads up to watch out for that number!

Beware of Global Trade and Services Ltd (0800 368 8203) - they popped up via a chat message while I was trying to download McAfee Total Protection from eoutlet.co.uk. They claimed my download was blocked because my computer was riddled with internet viruses and tried to charge me £49.99 to fix it. Honestly, don’t get tricked by these fraudsters!

Total con! They said they were with Norton, but when I checked with Norton, they had no clue who they were. After looking at other comments, it seems these lot pretend to be from different firms too. I made the error of letting them access my PC - definitely not a smart move. Don't get caught out by these scammers.

Hello there, I recently received a phone call from an individual claiming to be from Norton, stating there were some problems with my computer. He introduced himself as Richard, although his accent seemed rather Asian. He mentioned that he would be calling back tomorrow.

Absolutely brilliant service! They popped over to my place and sorted out my printer in no time - all it took was a quick phone call! I'm truly grateful for their assistance. What's even better is that they only asked for payment after I was happy with the job. You can definitely rely on them. Best wishes, Linda Ray

The techs here are proper skilled, sorted out my laptop no bother. They charged me £199, which seemed fair. Every month I get a call from them about cleaning up my computer. Mr Tiger Smith has been dead helpful. I even passed their details on to a few mates, and they’ve all been pretty happy with the service so far. Definitely a five-star company that sticks to their word.

An older mate of mine got caught up in some sort of scam after struggling with her PC. She was contacted by someone claiming to be David Morgan from True Tec International. She's already handed over quite a bit of cash, and now she’s locked out of her own computer. Really worrying situation.

Today I got the same call from someone claiming to be from Norton, telling me my computer had an issue and they could sort it for £49.99 plus VAT, but only if I let them take control of it. It ended up being a massive headache - spent hours changing all my passwords and alerting my bank about potential fraud. Honestly, don’t let these people access your machine!

Got a call from someone saying they were from Norton support, but all they wanted was to take payment from me. Pretty sure it was a scam.

They said they were from Norton antivirus and suddenly asked for money but never explained what it was for. When I asked for a receipt, all they gave me was a Microsoft Notepad file with an email address, no proper invoice or anything official. Felt really fishy.

Somebody rang me saying they were from Norton virus protection. Felt like a scam to me, so I didn't trust it at all.
