BE AWARE:- Hi all, quick warning - I've just had a call from someone claiming to be calling from Online PC Wizard regarding a refund I'm due relating to a purchase made in 2015. I never made such a purchase and I'm assuming this is a scam where you would need to pay to get the refund. The number they called from was 02122 130730. They were very persistent that I'd made the purchase. After some research this number has been used for the same scam but apparently being from PC World. They apparently need you to the postage for the cheque which you do by putting your card details in to a quite dodgy looking site. I never got that far but others have. If you get this call or similar please be aware and do not give them any money or enter your card details into any site. You will never need to pay to get a refund.
There have been quite a few instances lately of people getting phone calls from someone claiming to be from either Microsoft, Windows, Talktalk or various other companies saying that there are problems with your computer/laptop. They then get you to give them access to your pc "So they can fix the problems". This is a scam as they then ask you to between £150 and £250 to provide you with various bits of software like anti-virus and anti-hacking software. If you refuse they then try to mess things up on your pc to stop you being able to use it. DO NOT GIVE THEM ACCESS AND DO NOT PAY THEM. NO ONE FROM ANY COMPANY CAN TELL IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PC WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT. If you do give them access either turn off your internet or unplug your router immediately. The best thing to do then is call an genuine computer technician to check the pc to make sure they haven't left anything on your pc which could cause problems. If this has happened to feel free to get in touch with me on 07908 884163 or through Facebook or my website, www.coombscomputersupport.co.uk.
WARNING:- Please be aware that there have been some instances of TeamViewer (the remote access software some technicians use to take over control of your pc/laptop) users having their accounts hacked. Please make sure that if your pc starts behaving strangely the first thing you should do is disconnect from the internet and then make sure that TeamViewer is not running. If you do experience this please feel free to contact myself or your local PC repair shop for advice.
