MICROSOFT SUPPORT SCAM Update

  


UPDATE 7/7/21 - from another resident.  They had a phone call on 96 856254.  When they realised that the speaker was Indian, talking about a computer problem, they hung up.   They then received calls, which they did not answer, from the following numbers over a period of around half an hour:

98371314 @ 09:50

97402015 @ 09:50

93793209 @ 09:51

98387523 @ 09:54

94232324 @ 10.13

98197531 @ 10:14

91504600 @ 10:16

99151019 @ 10:18


6/7/21 - There is a new scam circulating.   This originates from the number 90 874985 - under no circumstances should you ring this number back if you miss the call as it is a premium number.

Someone sounding as if they come from India tells you that Microsoft need to fix your computer and you will be passed to a senior executive to help.  Please disregard any instructions and disconnect the call.
