Requesting money (Scam call) reported by A
Called number as I was under the impression it was Outlook/Hotmail support line. The attendent pretened he knew why my account was locked and asked for personal details regarding my DOB, address, telephone number and confirmation of email. He then said he could fix the issue but it would be a case which would be allocated to a specialist and that the fee was 167 pounds to fix. Told him to go f**k himself, hung up and blocked the number. You could tell it was suss as he had a bit of an attitude on the phone from the very beginning of the call. He was Indian

My mother called these **** who pretended to offer her some product to 'secure' her email for a plan for £200 and she didnt know about this trick used by these deceptive dogs. She is IT savvy however unaware of this scam artist method. They took £200 from her account and got access to her email account that she was initially trying to secure. Pure scum scammers!

Fix "fault" on mobile phone (Scam call) reported by Hovis
My Samsung 'phone was blocked by a message saying "Password changed. Please insert the new password" I had not done so. Phoned Plusnet (service provider) who thought this a technical fault and put me through to Samsung. Was asked for E-mail address and then told that the fault lay with Yahoo. Was given the number 0800 031 4244, which answered as "Yahoo Security" and I was speaking to Gary Thomas, a Senior Technical Support/Security officer in Yahoo Privacy Dept. He convinced me that I had a trojan virus in my'phone and computer and took over the latter to run a "clean". He charged £200.00 for "lifetime security" to all equipment at my house - and I paid by Barclaycard. I was given a new E-address with Yahoo and password. That night I had a further call from the same office asking if I had used these. I had not - but thinking through the day's events I became suspicious and 'phoned a family computer expert for advice. He checked the 'phone number and declared it "toxic". I then found that my 'phone was unusable except for voice calls. I was advised to have my computer totally cleaned, to block my credit and debit cards and to set up a new E-address. My 'phone was restored by Factory Reset. MORAL : DON'T TOUCH THIS LOT ... NEVER, EVER.
