Reports on phone number 8003162052
8 yearsI rang them back after doing a bit of digging and discovered they’ve conned quite a few vulnerable folks, particularly the elderly among them. When I confronted him about it, he had the audacity to accuse me of harassing him and even threw in some foul language. I strongly advise against engaging with these individuals; it's a slippery slope.8 yearsIt’s a classic Microsoft con. They coax you into opening a run box and before you know it, you’ve unintentionally granted them access, giving them the upper hand to potentially lock you out and hold your machine hostage for a ransom. I decided to humour the bloke, stringing him along for ages, then spun him a tale about his mother. His irritation was palpable just before I cut the line.Microsoft8 yearsI received a call from a gentleman who had a strong Indian accent, claiming there were numerous issues with my Microsoft account. He directed me to use TeamViewer, where he took control of my mouse and started fiddling with various settings. Feeling uneasy, I decided to look up the phone number he provided (800 316 2052) and came across multiple alerts regarding it being a scam. When I informed him about these warnings, he promptly terminated the call. To make matters worse, I couldn't log into my computer anymore due to the absence of my password. I’ve decided to shut it down, wipe the drive clean, and change my IP address as a precaution.Microsoft8 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be "John," who insisted he could resolve some supposed computer issues I didn’t even have. He asserted he was with the Apple Support Team based out of New York. He guided me to check my system report to allegedly showcase these nonexistent errors. John even provided me with a phone number for verification. Moreover, he urged me to visit www.teamviewer.com. I decided to reach out to Apple support directly, and they confirmed it was nothing more than a scam. Whatever you do, steer clear of these charlatans and do not disclose any personal information!JohnApple Support TeamNew YorkApple9 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be from Rabicar, insisting that my computer was riddled with issues, and they provided me with a number to return the call. When I mentioned that I owned several computers and inquired about which one she was referring to, her response was confusing. Initially, she suggested I could use any of them, but upon further questioning about the feasibility of diagnosing multiple machines simultaneously, she swiftly changed her tune, saying they were all faulty. It's evident to me that this is nothing more than a scam attempt.Rabicar9 yearsI've received calls from this number too, and they provided me with a two-year support package for my computer. At first, I was convinced it was a scam, but after accepting their assistance, my computer is running splendidly now. Much appreciated for the help!9 yearsIn the past hour, my dad has received three calls from a chap named Richard Johnson. He’s claiming that there are numerous errors and warnings that are jeopardising my father’s computer. Even went so far as to say he’s representing a fleet of Microsoft. When I probed a bit deeper, he revealed that his company goes by the name of Radiant. He provided the phone number above and assured me they could confirm his affiliation with Microsoft. I didn’t buy it, though. My father is planning to report this case to the local constabulary.Richard JohnsonMicrosoftRadiant9 yearsI received a rather curious phone call from this particular number today. The caller began discussing various issues and alerts my computer apparently had. At first, I was convinced this was just a typical scam, especially as they were attempting to get me to perform certain actions on my device. However, as the conversation continued, I found myself intrigued. I decided to follow their guidance, and lo and behold, I discovered that my computer had a staggering 3,279 errors! Mr. Jacob, as he introduced himself, helped me to resolve all of those issues and was incredibly thorough in explaining each one. He then provided me with a contact number-18003162052-and advised me to ring them should I encounter any further problems with my computer in the future. A huge thank you to Mr. Jacob for his invaluable assistance!.Jacob9 yearsI just received an utterly dodgy call! The person on the line claimed to be from a so-called Microsoft partner going by the name of Microsoft Ingenious Fleet (if I'm recalling it correctly). They insisted that my browser was infested with viruses from advertisements and that there were numerous complaints about my computer flooding into Microsoft. Whenever I tried to ask for more information, the woman repetitively insisted that I "needed to listen." They provided a phone number for me to confirm their legitimacy, which was rather conveniently from 877-770-0329, classed as an 800 service. There's no way I'm giving them a ring back!MicrosoftMicrosoft Ingenious Fleet9 yearsI received a telephone call today concerning error alerts that have been popping up on my computer. The chap on the line claimed to be situated in New York City, yet his accent suggested he wasn't from around these parts. As I probed further, I noticed they kept passing me to different individuals. This raises my suspicions-I'm convinced it’s a scam. I informed them I would ring back once I had done a bit more digging. He provided me with this number!New York City10 yearsCould this be Microsoft, perchance?Microsoft11 yearsEarlier today, I answered a call from a number I didn't recognise. The lady on the line introduced herself as Angileena and began discussing some errors and warnings on my computer. I decided to follow her instructions, and let me tell you, it was incredibly beneficial! She struck me as quite bright and had a lovely, composed manner about her. Not only did she resolve my computer issues, but she also sorted out my printer troubles too! Plus, she kindly provided her toll-free contact number: 18003162052. A massive thank you to Angileena Martin for her remarkable technical assistance!AngileenaAngileena Martin11 yearsI’ve been getting calls from a bloke named Alex Schmitt, claiming to be from Microsoft in Manhattan, on a number I haven’t used in over two decades. I wouldn’t dream of picking up or returning the call - it just feels off, you know? Definitely bad energies here for sure.Alex SchmittMicrosoftManhattan11 yearsI keep getting calls from this number over and over again.11 yearsI received a call from a woman named Lisa, claiming to be from Microsoft. She mentioned that my computer was allegedly generating a flood of error messages and offered to assist me in resolving the issue. She advised me to ring her back once I confirm her identity. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!LisaMicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0800 316 2052)
