Scam call
Fake Tech Support & Broadband Calls
Someone claiming to be from Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, BT or your broadband provider says your computer is infected, your router has been hacked or your internet is about to be cut off. They want you to download a program that lets them control your device, or to pay for a repair you do not need. Tech companies do not phone customers out of the blue to fix their computers.
What to do if this call comes in
- Keep your card number, PIN, passwords and any verification codes to yourself.
- Don't pay, send money or buy vouchers because someone on the phone said so.
- Hang up, then contact the organisation using details you've looked up yourself.
- Rate the number here so others are warned, and forward any linked texts to 7726.
