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!

A senior customer recently visited my Post Office inquiring about the process of making a payment of £600 to Global Tech. She explained that her computer was behaving oddly and she had received a message instructing her to call a specific number offering three options for lifetime cover (£200, £400, or £600). It is unclear how they obtained her information since she did not initiate any contact with them. To ensure her safety, I have redirected her to a local computer repair expert for a consultation. Thankfully, taking this precautionary measure may have prevented her from falling victim to a scam.

The company listed below, located in Ilford, managed to scam my mother-in-law. They cunningly convinced her to send them a £400 cheque, claiming it was a discounted price of £100 since she was retired. These scammers are such lowlifes! Thankfully, my mother-in-law reached out to me after the call, and we were able to cancel the cheque and inform her bank. It seems that she encountered a similar situation where a blue screen popped up on her laptop, falsely indicating that she had a virus.

I encountered a situation where my computer got blocked and I received both a voice message and an on-screen message, claiming to be from Microsoft. The message prompted me to call a given number for assistance. Upon calling, I was taken through a series of steps, only to be informed that my computer had no security. In order to obtain security for the next two years, I was instructed to send a cheque amounting to £400 to Global Trade and Services Ltd. The cheque should be sent to their address at 440 New North Road, Ilford, Essex, IG6 3EB by tomorrow. If I failed to comply, my computer would once again be blocked. After posting the cheque, I was advised to contact 0800 3688203, and they assured me that everything would be resolved.

My parents recently experienced an issue where their computer became locked. To unlock it, a telephone number appeared on the screen. They called the number and were offered a three-year coverage plan for £400. I wanted to share this information with everyone so that you are aware of this number and the potential scam that my parents encountered.

Beware of these scammers from Global Trade and Services Ltd (Tel 0800 368 8203)! They just interrupted my McAfee Total Protection download from eoutlet.co.uk with a chat popup. They claimed there were infected files on my computer and offered to fix the problem for £49.99. Don't be fooled by this scam!

Beware! This is a scam! The person claimed to be affiliated with Norton, but when I contacted Norton directly, they had no knowledge of them. After reading various threads online, it appears that they pretend to represent other companies too. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of allowing them access to my computer. Do not be deceived by their scam tactics.

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 technicians at this company are highly skilled and efficient. They successfully repaired my computers for just £199. Furthermore, they provide regular monthly check-ups to ensure optimal performance. I must commend the helpfulness of Mr. Tiger Smith, who is always ready to lend a hand. I have recommended their services to many of my friends, and they too have been incredibly satisfied. It seems that this company is committed to providing excellent service for years to come.

It seems like my elderly friend has fallen victim to a scam while facing computer issues. The individual claiming to be David Morgan from true tec international has managed to trick her. Unfortunately, my friend has not only lost a significant amount of money but also finds herself locked out of her computer now.

Today, I too fell victim to a similar scam. Someone claiming to represent Norton informed me that there was an issue with my computer. They were willing to rectify it for a fee of £49.99 plus VAT, but they required access to my computer. As a result of this incident, I ended up spending several hours needlessly changing all my passwords and notifying my banks about potential fraud. It is of utmost importance that you refuse them access under any circumstances.
