08082801527

phoned today re computer virus. Said company based in London, phone 0808 2801527. I just hung up. I have telephone preference service on so shouldnt be getting any junk calls.

TPS only works with legitimate UK companies.  These scam callers are neither.

Just put the phone down on a heavily accented caller claiming to be from PCWizard who insisted that I must carry out a check on my computer as there is a new non virus file which is causing lots of damage to windows based operating systems.  When I told her no, she transferred me to her supervisor who I politely listened to and then told him I would get my PC World support guys to look into it for me.  He became very rude and told me that PC World sell computers but don't offer support... mmmm, what have I been paying for then????  He then wnet on to tell me that I shouldn't be allowed to use a computer...!!!!  Who are these people!  I hung up on him in the end.  Beware though, the first caller sounded very convincing!

I got a call yesterday afternoom, same history off all above and he got looky because i belive in him and give my iformation by internet, hi make a charge in my credict card for $149 for PCWizard.com now i had to chage my acounts. the telefon # was18581023252, What can we do if we give information?

Same as all the above. Indian guy calling himself John Hunter 08082801527 from PC Widgets...need one say more!

just got a phone call from 08082801527 saying ive got harmfull files on my computer, told him im not interested and everytime i put the phone down he called me back straight away, he must have phoned back 6 or 7 times! in the end i told him i was going to report him and put the phone down, he hasnt called back again YET!

Got a call from PC Wizards on 08082801527 or as I'd like to call them "The Thieving [***] Co" Got caught big time & let them access my pc before I knew what I was doing!!! Pulled the plug on the scumbags & hopefully they can't access my pc further. Cancelled all my credit cards etc etc before any damage might have occurred. Feel a total mug!!!

read all the testimonials above and exactly the same thing, same person, same procedures. only i have no idea about computers or technology and when he started asking for money i was wary and said i had to discuss with someone who does know about these things aka my sister. and he was very persistant that i need to pay for some thing and so i became wary and decided to see what others had to say and this is when i realised what this was - a BIG FAT SCAM. i didnt pay for anything but i dont know if they have done anythinga as such to my computer or got any of my details. they did so many tests and things happened to my computer without me even being near my computer and without me clicking on anything. what do i do? and he was asian aswell with an indian accent. when i said i dont wanna do it, and to help me switch my computer off he just hung up. i immediatly called the police and cancelled all my cards and credit cards.

I had some guy telephone my mother, who asked for information and acess to my computer, but she allowed him acess. I then told them to take a hike, after they harassed her for 89 pounds!! She did not give them any bank details, and there are usually none stored on here. The thing is I dont know if she can do anymore transactions on here, or at her bank using online services...can anyone suggest anything??

Got a call from an Indian male, saying that malious had been found on some internet browsers, he wanted me to do somethings to my computer, pointed out that I didn't know who he was and that I wasn't going to trust him, he seemed polite enough, giving the website and phone number +448082801527, ask usual, I check sites like these, glad I did. Safe this time, I hope!!

Had  a call from  an Indian chap  said I had all kinds os problems on my PC . could not understand him so i ask to speak to his boss. A chap call Roger came on the phone sounded American. I was a bit naive and fell for it. Said he would clean up my pc and stupid me let him showed me the sight with security on it but when it came to money  I told him I  did not have a credit card and could he send me a application form and I would send a cheque. Hopefully i will be OK and lesson learnt. Calling me back in a couple of days to see if ihave managed to get a credit card. After reading what I have he will be out of luck.

Get your machine checked out locally.  These people want remote access to your computer and, if they get it, they will install spyware/malware to steal any personal info on there.  If you gave this person access they have the machine checked.  Microsoft and its paertners would nevwer 'phone you.  It would be a breach of their privacy rules.  No-one who 'phones knows anything about your computer.  They rely on scare tactics and lack of computer knowledge.  You would not hand your personal info to a stranger in the street so why giove it to a stranger oin the 'phone.

Thanks for the advice will not be taken in again. Followed your advice.

Had several calls from this same indian chap claiming to be from p,c, wizard but each time I have told him I have got a small baby and havent got time to go on my computer, as it all sounded a little bit iffy to me , He is very persistant and keeps saying he will ring again.I made a call to my p.c. support supplier who immediately told me it was a scam and now having read on here, I am so sorry for those who have been conned by him. He is ringing back tomorrow and i think i will tell him im a police officer or something !!

yeah I had that guy call me saying I had a virus I just swore loads at hither hanged up, last week a women claimed she worked for micro pc hoe I said you are lying she hanged up that how you deal with scamers!

I've just had this guy on the phone at work - he was incredibly hostile when I told him I didn't want to speak to him as I was at work and couldn't understand why I wouldn't give him my home number - started shouting at me !!  His number was 0808 2801 527 claimed the company was PC Reserves then changed it to PC Wireservers. Def a scam

Me again - thought I should also say the number the guy originally gave me was  0808 2701 527 - I just thought I'd check this number and it came up with a virus warning - please be careful !!

I have had the very same call. I said I would have to speak to my other half as she understands theses things better than me because she is head of IT for British Transport Police.  Apparently these people try to scam BTP as well.  The chap still gave me his details for her to phone.  They are very good.  Positively frightening!
