11 yearsBack on 13/12/15, I got caught up in something similar. Luckily, while my husband was still chatting with the scammer, I managed to ring up my bank and the credit card firm straightaway. We got everything cancelled in time, or else they probably would’ve nicked all my details.11 yearsThis number called me, and for a bit, my computer got completely locked. Can someone please put a stop to this? Would really appreciate if you could tell me who’s behind it and where they’re based.11 yearsI got caught out by the same scam and ended up going along with it. Now I've got to take my Mac into an actual Apple Store just to get it sorted properly.Apple Store11 yearsI feel proper daft for falling for this, really gutted about it now.11 yearsWatch out, this was totally a rip off. On 21/6/15, I got charged £199.99 from that number, level 7 or whatever it said. I feel proper daft for letting them get remote access to both my phone and my laptop. They went ahead and billed me that amount without me realising at first, only noticed after it was done. Luckily, I shut everything down so they won't be getting a penny from me. Just warning everyone, these scammers are definitely still at it!11 yearsI had some issues with my laptop and ended up paying £399.99 for a fix done through a phone call. Later, I looked up the number online, and when I rang it back with the same one they gave me post-repair, I actually reached them. So, as of 11 May 2015, that number is definitely legit.12 yearsWhat a rip off! I got caught out and ended up handing over £130. Total scam.12 yearsUgh, what a nightmare! First, the screen got locked, then a popup appeared claiming to be from Apple, giving all the same rubbish info as mentioned earlier. I can't believe I actually fell for this nonsense! I guess I can blame it on the fact I had surgery yesterday and the anaesthetic is still messing with my head. Normally I'd never fall for something like this, but this morning I slipped up. They're really slick too - they offer you a "store" to take your computer to, which is like 40 miles away and would cost £350, or you can supposedly fix it online in 90 minutes for £299. How did none of this set off alarm bells? Total rubbish!Apple12 yearsTotal scam! Got a call from someone with a strong Hindu accent telling me my Mac was infected with a virus. They said it’d take between 6 to 8 days if I brought it to the Apple store, but offered a “certified” tech to fix it online for £299. Kept pushing me to do it online, which honestly raised all kinds of red flags. That’s when I just hung up.Apple12 yearsThis place is a total scam. My computer was perfectly fine, no issues at all.12 yearsWhile looking up ways to make my Mac run faster, I stumbled upon this number which somehow blocked Safari. At first, I assumed it was Apple and decided to give them a ring. The person on the other end, who I’m pretty sure had an Indian accent, said my whole computer was hacked and I needed a level 8 Apple technician to solve it. They provided an address that was definitely not an Apple store. When I asked why the fix couldn’t be done at an official Apple store, they said it was because my network was infected too and only they could sort it out - which felt like a big red flag to me. After a few minutes, they showed me a way to temporarily fix Safari, but then started pushing me to pay for some sort of online “permanent” fix.Apple12 yearsI've gotten calls from a foreign number over five times within a couple of hours. Honestly, it's quite pushy and annoying. I really don't deal with calls like these.12 yearsMy screen suddenly locked up showing a warning about a major computer security issue and gave this number to ring straight away. The number is linked to Computer Fix, Inc. based at 9550 S Eastern Ave., Suite 253, Las Vegas, Nevada. I ended up reporting them to the FTC because they charged me £269.99 to supposedly "fix" the problem. The very next day, my laptop still wouldn’t start properly. I had no choice but to bring it to a nearby tech shop to get it cleaned and rid of viruses.Computer Fix, Inc.S Eastern AveSuiteLas VegasNevadaFTCSubmit Your Own Report (0800 587 9155)
