9 yearsThey first rang me asking for $250 to fix a supposed virus, then just a couple days later, the same number popped up on my landline, even though I never shared that number with them.9 yearsLast night, at the unearthly hour of 3am, I answered a 45-minute call from a chap named Ron, claiming to be from Apple support. He insisted that my Mac had been infected with a virus that posed a threat to all devices connected to my IP address. He then tried to press me into coughing up £379 for a cleanup or a 'one-off' fee of £99, claiming my IP address had been compromised, even though my computer was completely switched off at the time. While he droned on, I took a moment to look up the number, only to find it’s a blatant scam. Whatever you do, steer clear of this number - it’s linked to a firm in Alabama! I called them back using my landline and told them I’d report their dodgy practices to the authorities. The chap on the line suddenly fell mute. Absolute charlatans!RonAppleAlabama9 yearsAt about 3 in the morning, I got a call from some bloke named Ron claiming he was from Apple support. He said my mac had a virus that could infect all gadgets linked to my IP, and I needed to fork out $379 for a full clean, or just a one-off $99 fee. He kept going on about how my IP was hacked - funny thing was, my computer wasn’t even being used then. While listening to him, I googled the number and found out it’s a total scam. Don’t ever ring that number; it’s a dodgy company based in Alabama. When I rang back on my landline to call them out and said I was reporting them to the cops, the guy who answered just went quiet. What losers.RonAppleAlabama9 yearsWARNING! Don’t fall for this, they wanted me to pay £149.99 to get my phone unlocked. Total scam!AVOID9 yearsSomeone called me pretending to be from Apple support and then started pushing this security software for purchase - felt totally dodgy to me.Apple9 yearsAvoid answering this number. They tell you there’s a virus on your phone and want you to ring some ‘Apple support’ line. Then they threaten to disable your iPhone unless you cough up £150. Complete scam.AVOIDApple9 yearsBeware of this number - they claim to be from Apple and told me to pay £100 to unlock my phone, but they’re actually sending viruses. Don’t fall for it!Apple9 yearsSo they said they were from Apple support, and wanted £150 to unlock my phone. Bit dodgy if you ask me.AppleSubmit Your Own Report (0808 164 4749)
