10 yearsI had a similar experience just today. I only rang back because I got a dodgy email saying I’d okayed a payment I never made, which freaked me out a bit thinking my laptop might be infected. I let them access my computer, which in hindsight was daft, but I didn’t share any card details or anything and ended the call pretty quickly. At the moment, my accounts seem fine, but I’m planning to update all my passwords just to be safe. Hope this info is useful to someone!10 yearsI got the same call, and when I called it out as a scam, this guy from India snapped back, "Why are you even calling me then?" Pretty clear no one from Microsoft would speak like that.Microsoft10 yearsBeware! The number I dialled wasn’t the same as the one shown on Microsoft’s official site! Definitely a scam!Microsoft10 yearsAvoid this number 18778573016, it’s a total scam. They’ll send a fake alert, freeze your computer, then claim your system is damaging the network and that they can fix it. They pretend to be from Microsoft, but if you press them, they’ll admit they have no connection to Microsoft. These scammers just want to steal your info and cash. Don’t fall for it - be firm and make sure to report them to the authorities.Microsoft10 yearsTotally a scam. They kept asking for stuff that was none of their business.10 yearsTry hitting ctrl-shift-esc to open task manager, then shut down your browser like Chrome. I’m unsure if these jokers are getting in via IP or some other method. My antivirus and anti-malware apps aren’t spotting anything, but this pest keeps causing my laptop to lock up. Wish Trump could just put up a big firewall blocking places like India, Russia, China, North Korea, Nigeria... would make life easier!TrumpIndiaRussiaChinaNorth KoreaNigeria10 yearsMy husband was on his computer when he got a call from some guy. While he chatted, I quickly checked the number online and realised it was a scam. The bloke on the other end was pushing hard to get remote access to my husband's PC. Needless to say, he was cut off sharpish.10 yearsDon't worry, it's a rip-off, your computer's actually perfectly alright.10 yearsThis was totally a scam. When I told him I wouldn’t give my credit card details, he got really aggressive and even threatened to mess up my computer. I honestly hope that guy ends up behind bars.10 yearsWatch out, it says it's Microsoft but it's definitely a scam!Microsoft10 yearsI got a call from a guy who sounded like he was from India. When he finally answered, I could hear other voices in the background. He started asking weird questions about how old I was, what kind of computer I had, and what I was looking for online. Then he got a bit cheeky and rude. Honestly, I wish folks like him would be locked up.10 yearsTotally a scam! Don’t get caught by it. Just press ctrl alt delete and end the task straight away.10 yearsThis has to be a scam for sure. They’re just trying to cash in on folks who end up getting tricked by them.10 yearsA warning popped up on my screen saying my computer was hacked and that info had been sent elsewhere. It wouldn’t let me close it, and said if I didn’t ring the number shown within five minutes, my PC would shut down. When I called, the bloke on the other end had a thick accent and there was loads of background noise, so I could barely understand him. He claimed to be from Microsoft security and wanted me to give him access to my computer. Eventually, he got rid of the popup, but then told me to go to a website that wasn’t linked to Microsoft and enter some random 9-digit code so he could ‘fix’ the problem. It was clear from the start it was a con.Microsoft10 yearsGot a text claiming my computer was locked and to ring this number. When I called, the bloke was quite rude and got annoyed, saying I was wasting his time after I said no to paying £149. Feels like a scam to me, but not sure if it’s legit tech support or not.Submit Your Own Report (0877 857 3016)
