8 yearsSo, I rang them up after doing a bit of digging and discovered they've tricked loads of older folks and other people too. Then he started accusing me of harassing him and dropped a swear word at me. Seriously, avoid talking to these lot at all costs.8 yearsHad a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft about an error. They tried to get me to open the run box and give them control, so they could lock me out and demand money for my PC. I decided to mess with him and stayed on the call for ages, then ended up telling him a silly story about his mum. He got pretty irritated right before I ended the call.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from a bloke speaking with a strong Indian accent, saying there were tons of errors on my Microsoft account. He had me open TeamViewer and took over my mouse, messing around with my computer. Something felt off, so I looked up the number he gave me (800 316 2052) and found loads of scam alerts linked to it. When I mentioned this to him, he just disconnected. Now my PC doesn’t ask for a password to log in. I’ve shut it down and am going to wipe the hard drive and get a different IP address to be safe.Microsoft8 yearsSome bloke called me claiming his name was John and said he could sort out problems on my computer, but I didn’t have any issues at all. He insisted he was from Apple's support in New York. He even asked me to open the system report on my laptop to 'show' the errors. Then, he gave me a phone number to 'prove' who he was. He tried to get me to go to www.teamviewer.com. I got in touch with Apple directly and they told me it’s a total scam. Seriously, don’t hand over any info to these people!JohnApple Support TeamNew YorkApple9 yearsSome woman called me, said my computer had problems and gave me a number to ring her back on. When I mentioned I had more than one computer and asked which one she meant, at first she said it was fine to use any of them. But then, after I questioned how she could possibly see issues from all my different devices, she said every single one had faults. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.Rabicar9 yearsThis number called me too, offering a two-year support plan for my computer. At first, I was pretty sure it was some kind of scam. But after actually using their services, my computer has been running much better. Really grateful for the help they provided!9 yearsMy dad got called by some guy named Richard Johnson three times in just one hour. He kept saying my dad’s computer has problems and warnings causing damage. The bloke claimed he was from Microsoft. When I asked more, he said his company’s called Radiant. He gave me that phone number and said they’d prove they’re linked to Microsoft. I didn’t bother checking. My dad’s planning to report it to the local police.Richard JohnsonMicrosoftRadiant9 yearsToday this number rang me up and the person on the phone was talking about some warnings and glitches on my PC. At first, I thought it was some sort of scam because they wanted me to do stuff on my computer. But we kept chatting and it actually got quite interesting. I tried out the steps they told me to and, surprisingly, it showed there were 3,279 errors on my machine. This Mr Jacob then fixed everything and explained each problem clearly. He also gave me this number, 18003162052, saying I can ring it any time in the future if my computer acts up. Cheers to Mr Jacob for all his help!.Jacob10 yearsGot a really dodgy call earlier claiming to be from some group called Microsoft Ingenious Fleet or something like that. They told me my browser ads were full of viruses and Microsoft had loads of complaints about my PC. When I tried to ask them stuff, the woman just kept saying I "had to listen to her." I asked for their details to check if they were legit and they gave me this number instead: 877-770-0329, which came up as some 800 service. Definitely not ringing them back!MicrosoftMicrosoft Ingenious Fleet10 yearsGot a call today about some errors popping up on my PC. The guy claimed he was calling from New York City but had a pretty obvious foreign accent. Every time I asked something, they changed the person on the line. Definitely felt like a scam, so I told them I'd ring back once I checked things out. He then passed me this number!New York City11 yearsHey, is this Microsoft I’m talking to?Microsoft11 yearsSo earlier today, I got a call from a number I didn’t recognise. The lady on the line said her name was Angileena. She mentioned there were some errors and warnings popping up on my computer. I just did what she told me step by step and it actually helped a lot. She was really clever and quite calm too. Not only did she sort out my PC, but she fixed my printer as well. She even gave me a free number to call back: 18003162052. Big thanks to Angileena Martin for all the tech help!AngileenaAngileena Martin11 yearsI got a call from some bloke called Alex Schmitt claiming to be from Microsoft Manhattan, but the number he rang was an old one I haven’t used in like 20 years. Definitely not going to pick up or call back. Gave me really dodgy feelings, honestly.Alex SchmittMicrosoftManhattan11 yearsThey kept ringing me over and over again, I lost count how many times!11 yearsI got a call from this number, with a woman called Lisa saying she was ringing from Microsoft. She said my computer was throwing a bunch of error messages and offered to help fix the problem. She told me to ring her back after I checked if she was legit.LisaMicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0800 316 2052)
