6 monthsWatch out, it's definitely a scam. They just want to fish for your info.6 monthsSomeone called claiming to be from Epson printer support. First, they asked for my name and phone number. Later, they rang me back pretending to be Epson techs again and told me to download something called UltraViewer so they could take control of my screen. Seemed fishy to me.Epson6 monthsI went through something really similar to what others have mentioned. I was setting up my printer and let the caller access my PC remotely. It dawned on me it was dodgy when they started talking about charging me more to 'upgrade' to Windows 11. Now I'm really wary about using my laptop, thinking they might have planted some spyware, and I've since blocked my credit and debit cards just to be safe.8 monthsI was having trouble with my printer and figured I was speaking with HP customer service. Someone did reply, and after following their advice on the printer, I ended up paying £350 for a 10-year support plan. Now my printer connects to Wi-Fi fine. It’s pretty sneaky because I actually went straight to HP’s official site and began a chat before all this happened.HP9 monthsJust like others, I was convinced it was HP tech support calling me. I was setting up a new printer when they suddenly offered help with my computer. They got into my laptop and started fiddling around, even claimed to remove some viruses. I shell out £299.99 for a decade’s worth of coverage, which now feels like a total rip-off. Afterwards, my keyboard started acting weird and I began to seriously question if these people were legit. Now I’ve had to take my laptop to a nearby shop to fix the mess they made.HP9 monthsI figured it might be a scam so I didn’t hand over any cash. The bloke on the phone sounded pretty believable though. I did let him get into my computer, but luckily I don’t have any banking apps installed, so fingers crossed I’m alright!10 monthsI got tricked into handing over £299.99 thinking it was for Windows 11 because they claimed my trial period finished and that's why my printer wouldn’t work. They got access to my computer, so now I need to have an expert at Currys take a look and sort it out. PayPal informed me they're aware of this firm and are looking into them since there’s loads of complaints. Fingers crossed I’ll get my money back.CurrysPayPal10 monthsGot a call claiming to be from Microsoft about Windows 10 being discontinued. They said I had to upgrade to Windows 11 but asked for a payment, which sounded dodgy to me. Definitely a scam attempt.Microsoft10 monthsSomeone rang saying they were from Canon support. They got me to download something called ultraview and told me to pay up. Had a chat with Canon later and they said it wasn't them at all.Canon10 monthsAt first, I was speaking to a robot who asked me some questions. Later on, they took over my computer and made this Internet licence sound really legit. They started by offering it at £950 but somehow dropped the price to £150 by the end. It all felt convincing since they already knew my personal info before giving me the deal.10 monthsSomeone rang me saying they were from Canon, about some printer issues I’d been having. They offered to have a look and then started talking about Microsoft installing the right drivers but only if I paid for a yearly subscription, maybe two or three years or something. I said no thanks. What’s weird is, how on earth did they find out I’d been chatting with Canon’s support team, who were really helpful and had everything spot on?CanonMicrosoft10 monthsMy phone kept buzzing 4 times in a row and it showed as spam, so I just ignored it. They didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail.11 monthsI just got a call from this number saying they’re from some sort of printer support, telling me there was an issue with my printer. This isn’t the first time they’ve rung me up. Once they realised I wasn’t interested in chatting, I ended the call and blocked their number straight away.11 monthsThey rang me, but I didn’t pick up and there wasn’t any voicemail or message.11 monthsHad some trouble connecting my printer and the 'Canon' chat window popped up saying an expert would ring me back on 08081694844. The person wanted me to install Ultraview so they could access my PC remotely. I wasn’t comfortable with that and told them to stop, then they just ended the call. I’ve since deleted Ultraview from my apps and made sure my security settings are all good. Total scam, best to steer clear xxCanon12 monthsMy printer refused to link up with my computer, so I responded to a pop-up for help which gathered my info. Shortly after, someone phoned me from 08081694844 claiming they could fix the issue. They said Microsoft was blocking the printer installation and demanded a hefty £449 one-off payment for a lifetime licence after taking remote control of my PC. Even now, the printer still won’t connect. Both my computer and printer are crucial for my home, and I’m stuck not knowing how to fix this mess.Microsoft3 yearsI've just had a rather dodgy experience. A pop-up appeared on my computer, insisting there was a virus and urging me to ring this number. It's clearly a scam from tech support. Best to steer clear of it completely and not get involved!3 yearsPurporting to be from the "Technical Support Department of Microsoft," they asserted that there was a security issue with my “compromised computer.” Total con job!Technical Support DepartmentMicrosoft3 yearsI found this number on a sketchy website I got to through a Facebook link. The page claims your computer is infected with a virus or Trojan and urges you to ring that number for assistance. It’s totally a scam - don’t even think about calling it!Facebook3 yearsThis guy claimed to be an engineer here to fix some software issue after I saw an ad on Facebook. When I asked for more details, my screen suddenly flashed a warning about viruses and told me to ring this number to talk to an Apple engineer.FacebookApple3 yearsI got a weird message on my iPad about a security warning and it had this phone number on it. Took one look and thought nah, better not call. Definitely a scam, don’t even think about ringing this one! It’s sketchy as hell.3 yearsSomebody called saying they were from Apple support and told me my phone was locked because it got hacked by a virus. They wanted me to call that number to fix it. Don't ever ring that number, it's definitely a scam.Apple3 yearsMy computer suddenly froze and a message popped up saying it was from Microsoft, telling me to ring a number. It’s actually a scam and nothing to do with Microsoft. If this happens to you, just try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete to get your computer working again. Don’t ever bother calling that number, it’s just a trick!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0808 169 4844)
