Recently a number of customers have told E-tec Computer Services they have received a phone call from Microsoft stating that they have a problem with their computer and they can help. Don’t get caught out.
Criminals often use the names of well-known companies, like Microsoft, BT, TalkTalk etc in their scams. They use the company names to convince you to give them money or your personal information. While traditionally they have used email to trick you, they are now using the telephone more and more to try and get your details.
