6 yearsSounds pretty sketchy to me.7 yearsBeware, this is a total ripoff. My dad, who’s 86, thought he was ringing Apple but it was some dodgy outfit instead. They hit him with a £999 fee for what they called 'lifetime protection', then came back a couple of months later wanting another £2400, saying his PC had been hacked and they had to encrypt his data. We’ve reported the whole thing to the police through Action Fraud.AppleAction Fraud8 yearsI got a call from a number claiming to be Apple, saying my lifetime protection would be £900 or so, with a reference like TQUK 12995. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.Apple9 yearsYesterday my older brother got tricked out of £700 after calling 0800 652 828. He was convinced he was speaking to Apple, but it turned out to be a company called TECHQURE (a quick google shows their website is full of typos and odd English). Once I found out, I told him to contact the real Apple who confirmed it was a scam. He also contacted his credit card provider, who at first seemed unsure, but eventually refunded the bogus charge. Apple told him to update all his passwords, and Action Fraud recommended checking for any suspicious apps like keystroke loggers or Team Viewer that might have been installed.AppleTECHQUREAction FraudTeam Viewer9 yearsThis number keeps showing up and it’s really messing with my Apple device. I have to keep force quitting my laptop just to get it working again. Now anytime something pops up on my screen or this number rings, I just assume it’s a scam. Folks, be careful - if they start asking for money, it’s definitely a scam. xApple10 yearsBeware of this number, it's a total scam. I nearly got caught out by a message claiming my Apple device was infected with loads of viruses. Luckily, I cancelled my card just in time!Apple10 yearsThis morning my MacBook Air started acting weird, and then I got this call from a guy with an Indian accent who gave his name as Sardar Chouhan. He claimed to be a certified Mac expert and said my laptop was hacked. He offered to fix it for $499.95, so I foolishly paid him with my credit card. He said the charge would appear on my statement as TechQure. Afterwards, I contacted my bank to block the payment. Later on, he called again, but I told him I suspected it was a scam and ended the call. Now, of course, my Mac has stopped working once more. What a nightmare!MacBook AirSardar ChouhanMac10 yearstotal scammer, these people are frauds! they somehow got access to my pc and it was a nightmare. don't trust em!10 yearsGot a call from this number claiming to be from Apple support saying I owed either £199 or £399. They tried to get me to let them see my screen and access my Mac. Totally a scam. I rang Apple UK straight away to check and they confirmed they don’t do this kind of thing. Don’t get caught out by it!Apple SupportAppleUK11 yearsI’ve gotten calls from this number a couple of times now, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s a spammer or something else.
