8 yearsBeware, this number is linked to something called Technocare Technology or Techno Support. It’s a con from India, don’t trust it or give them any money. They try to scare you by saying your passwords or ID got hacked but it’s all rubbish, just a trick to steal from you. They’re well known scammers these days!Technocare TechnologyTechno SupportIndia9 yearsI was browsing what I thought was a Microsoft Outlook help page when a chat window popped up offering assistance. I explained my issue and was told a level 3 technician would ring me shortly, so I gave my phone number. Soon enough, I got a call from someone with an Indian accent who then accessed my laptop remotely. The man said my IP address was hacked and claimed fixing it would cost me £199. I told him I wanted to get more info before paying and he asked me to ring back on 08009173627. That’s when it clicked - Microsoft never charges for support - so I hung up straight away. They had originally rung me from 08081890688, so be careful if you see calls from those numbers when looking for tech help.MicrosoftIndia9 yearsI got caught up in this trick where a pop-up on my screen said I'd got a 'Microsoft virus' and told me to ring an 0800 number straight away, all with this loud alarm going off. When I called, they said they were from 'US Connect Solutions' and charged me $499 to fix the supposed virus. Once I figured it was a con, I quickly cancelled all my cards and bank accounts. Since then, they've kept ringing different numbers, including this one, just to check if my computer is still 'working' - which, it turns out, they were controlling without me realising! Just a heads up, watch out for this!MicrosoftUS Connect Solutions9 yearsI got caught out by a scammer who somehow got control of my computer. By the time I twigged it was dodgy, I’d already given them my card info, proper idiot move on my part! Thankfully, I managed to shut down my PC and quickly called the bank to block the card, also reported it to the police fraud unit. So far, no money’s been taken, which is a relief. The annoying bit is, they keep ringing me up, but I just don’t answer. Now I’m stuck having to get a techie to sort out my computer and wipe it clean.Action Fraud10 yearsAvoid answering if you get a call from someone saying they're from PC support - they’ll try to access your computer remotely, sneak in some spyware, and then bill you for it. Total scam.10 yearsThese lot from DIAL FORT SOLUTION have been ringing my dad nonstop, like 10 times today! Turns out they’re trying to con him by getting into his computer. Eventually, I just left the phone off the hook and then they had the cheek to leave a voicemail saying, “kiss my ass”. Proper scam artists.DIAL FORT SOLUTIONSubmit Your Own Report (0800 917 3627)
