last year i got a phone call from microsoft telling me they had noticed my computer was playing up and was full of viruses. i had been laggy so i believed them. they sed they could fix my computer there and then if i paid £200 so i sed ya go ahead.
ya i know im a dumb ass!! well they told me to follow these insructions with my comp and to get my credit card ready.
before i knew wat was going on they had control over my mouse and was doing all stuff on my comp, i gave them my credit card details and when i clicked enter to pay them my card was declined. i have an extra security lock on my card and it wouldnt let me pay. the guy from microsoft was getting angry with me now and told me to phone my bank to get them to accept payment. i did this lol (i cant believe it now how stupid i was) the manager from my bank asked me if this was genuine and i told him yes..... he replid that it sounded all wrong and microsoft dont phone ppl up to fix computers. this got me to start doubting wat was going on.
i told mr microsoft i didnt want it fixing any more and was not paying him, he got angry called me names and put the phone down. but he was still in control of my computer and was trying to click accept accept on my payment.
i pulled the plug on my comp, but it was full of all viruses and i had to take it the computer hospital to get it fixed. the outcome was i had to buy a new computer in the end so it cost me alot
i know this is a long story but funay ppl can get into your computer and steal your identity:(
please dont get fooled like me
