My mum got conned out of £399. It's so upsetting how these scams work!

I got a call this morning following up on something I mentioned yesterday.

My mum had the same thing happen just now. She opened an email from Facebook on her iPad and suddenly a number appeared with a voice saying there was a problem. When she called the number, they convinced her to log into her laptop, took control, and pressured her into buying a ridiculous 3-year antivirus subscription. They claimed their name was envisonsec.com or something like that.

My mum just got caught out after clicking on a photo on Facebook. Someone messaged her claiming there was an issue and ended up conning her out of some cash.

Good malware protection combined with making sure every bit of software on your device is current really helps block scam pop ups. I stick with Norton, though there are other solid anti malware options out there too. Just be careful with free antivirus tools unless you’re confident about handling them. New gadgets seem to attract a load of dodgy popups and fake sites, so the first things I do on a new device are update the OS, install and update my anti malware app. After that, I run a thorough scan to be safe. If you get calls from scam numbers, texting 7726 to report them is a good move.

My laptop suddenly got locked and the only thing showing was what seemed like genuine Microsoft branding. I clicked on it and got a call from a supposed Microsoft support team. Sadly, I trusted them and without me realising, they got full control of my computer. They later tried to sell me ongoing "maintenance" services for a massive amount. I quickly contacted my bank and had my card blocked straight away.

Just to add on from what I said before, they mentioned their firm goes by envisionsec.com.

My screen suddenly popped up with a message saying Microsoft had locked my PC. I rang the number they provided and ended up paying to get the computer unlocked. They also did loads of other things on my machine. In the end, I was hit with a bill for hundreds of pounds :-(

I accidentally tapped on a photo on Facebook and got this scary warning saying my computer was infected, with a phone number to ring. When I called, a bloke said he was from Apple tech support. Long story short, he convinced me to buy Adguard and after that my computer got worse. Don't ever ring this number if you see warnings like that!

Been caught out by a scam myself after seeing these comments. Seriously, best to keep clear of this one.

On 24/08/2024, I got a call while my computer was locked. Stupidly, I let them in to unlock it and even gave them my driver’s info. Felt proper daft afterwards.

This was totally a scam without a doubt. When I looked up 'Microsoft scam' I found out Microsoft never locks your computer or asks you to call them at all. They even explain how to fix the screen if it happens. I was in a bad spot at the time, so it tricked me. Now I’m just waiting for my tech mate to have a look at my laptop and make sure everything’s okay.

Just a heads up, I’m the one who left the earlier comment. There’s a couple more numbers tied to this scam: 0808 501 3575 and 0808 501 5604. Thought it might be useful to share.

Watch out for Microsoft scammers! They'll try to get into your computer saying they want to unblock it, but really they’re after your personal info. They’ll ask for crazy amounts of money to fix things and might even try to grab your bank details. Be careful!

Beware of a nasty scam pretending to be from Microsoft about your computer. They tried to trick us into giving card info to supposedly "unlock" our laptop. What’s scary is they even managed to get hold of my wife's driving licence info. We've reported everything to the cyber crime unit and the fraud squad now.
