Dodgy calls –
everyone needs to be aware
Hi Jeff,
You may want to circulate the following:
Today I had a phone call, obviously from a
call centre, with an Indian-sounding female. She asked for me by
name and sought to reassure me that she wasn't selling anything. She
only needed a few minutes of my time, to answer a few questions
about other residents in my road - she even knew its name. I didn't
answer her questions, but asked her some of my own. When I asked
who, or what Berkshire Opinion Poll is, and what associations or
affiliations it has, she rang off. My wife took another identical
call this evening and when she asked what the call was about, they again
rang off. I have Googled this name and it doesn't appear, so it must be
fictitious.
Does anyone have any further experience of
this outfit? I suspect it's another scam of some sort.
Malcolm
Any ideas anyone
? Please never give out any personal information about yourself or
your neighbours to anyone over the phone. We did have something
similar several years ago, where a company was calling, to locate
elderly and vulnerable people who lived in your road !!!!
Next a ‘ransomeware’
warning. This can cause real issues in families, as it looks so
real. A screensaver appears in full screen, from the police,
warning that the computer has been used to view illegal porn. It is
not real. To remove it, - do not pay the £100 they request
! Start your computer in ‘safe mode’ and use the link
below to download a fix. It searches out the offending software and
removes it. You can of course download it from another computer
into a memory stick and run it that way, in Safe Mode.
Hi Jeff,
My husbands
cousin, was playing games on face book, when her PC locked up. A message
which covers the whole screen, removing all access to toolbars, says it
is a police message and the computer has been locked for viewing illegal
porn. If you contact a certain company and pay them £100, they
will unlock it.
As you know
this is completely false. She had the sense to ask her husband to
check on his computer and they were alerted to this problem.
I Don’t know
if you want to put this out.
Kind Regards
Michelle
This has
become quite a problem and if you are not quite computer literate may
cause you a problem as there is no way on screen to remove it. This
is the link to resolve the problem and tells you exactly how to do it.
