  2. Microsoft Office 365 installation scam

    The bigger issue is that you purchased a fake copy of Office365 as it would never direct you to a Microsoft web site. This lead to the phone call that was a complete scam.

    If you let them have access to your computer you should take your computer off your network and wipe it and install a clean installation of Windows 10.

    You'll also want to contact your bank(s) and tell them you fell for a scam and what do they suggest you do in that situation.

    Another phone call scam pretending to be Microsoft

    A thread was posted on another forum I frequent about a phone call scam where they claim to be Microsoft and ask you install some things to repair the security breach they've detected.

    Thought id post the number used here to make you guys n gals aware in case you get a phone call.

    number is : 0203 286 9239
    Apparently the lad who started the thread Googled it and its a 'Cost Trap'.

    Thread is here (I realise it's against the rules but due to its nature thought it might be helpful. Pm me if not and ill remove it.) :

    So yea, Heads up.

    Shame we don't have some form of list of all these numbers, I bet people on here get it quite often.
