Jeg blev også ringet op i eftermiddags men tog den ikke da jeg havde time. Håber det bliver sat en stopper for de svindlere :-/

Its a SCAM!
The fools told me they called from Microsoft and could fix the virus on my PC - I told them I have an Apple computer..... and they said they could fix it too - I new from the start it was a scam so I told them to f...... off.

Just got a call from that number too - didn't pick up - I'm also a Danish subscriber

Also got a call from that number. Didn't answer it.

Er lige blevet ringet op fra det nummer med spørgsmål om min PC. Vedkommende talte engelsk med tydelig indisk accent

Im from DK, and just got the call also - "Hello hello hello" that was it.. I'm pretty sure I wont call back!
I've blocked the number..

I today also got a call from this number (+2943549344). I'm from Denmark, and I am an educated IT-Supporter.

The man spoke with an Indian accent. And right there the alarm went off in my head. A call from an unknown number from an unknown country calling, and a man in a call center with an Indian accent. Already there it seems very suspicious to me.

He said he was calling about my computer. There were alot of background noise, but he said something about my computer may be infected, and so on. Right there I knew that they might scam some money from me. I have heard many stories about these scams.

I know some people, who had a similar call, somebody with an indian accent said that their computer could be infected with virus, and they were calling from Microsoft to help save his computer. He unfortunately bought the story and played along. He did what they said he should do (don't know what they asked him to do), and before he knew it, his computer was all locked. There was NO way we could access his computer again. We then had to restore his Windows to a previous state to get rid of the lockdown. Right after that he noticed on his web banking, that they were trying to draw a HUGE amount of money from him...

So when you get a call like these NEVER BELIEVE THEM. They are trying to SCAM ALOT OF MONEY FROM YOU. Just HANG UP THE PHONE RIGHT AWAY.

If their converation makes you doubt, if your computer really is infected, just do a COMPLETE virus scan with your preferred antivirus software (AND it is also recommended that you scan with an antiMALWARE software, like MalWareBytes, because many antiviruses doesn't catch all malware. Malware is the real dangerous ones. They can take your passwords, identity and so on). And if you are still in doubt, you can call your antivirus company and consult with them. This usually requires a subscription with the antivirus company, which you pay every month/year.

But shortly said: They are scammers who will try and take alot of money from you...!

PÅ DANSK:
Jeg skrev mit indlæg på engelsk, så jeg har bare været doven og oversat det med Google Translate, så hvis noget ikke giver helt mening, så er det derfor. Jeg beklager, men jeg har ikke lyst til at skrive det hele igen.

Jeg i dag fik også et opkald fra dette nummer ( 2943549344 ) . Jeg er fra Danmark, og jeg er uddannet IT-Supoorter

Manden talte med en indisk accent . Og lige der alarmen gik i mit hoved. Et opkald fra et ukendt antal fra et ukendt land ringer, og en mand i et call center med en indisk accent . Allerede der synes det meget mistænkeligt for mig.

Han sagde, at han ringer om min computer. Der var meget baggrundsstøj , men han sagde noget om min computer kan være inficeret, og så videre. Lige der vidste jeg, at de måske ville snyde nogle penge fra mig. Jeg har hørt mange historier om disse svindelnumre .

Jeg kender nogle mennesker , som havde en lignende samtale , nogen med en indisk accent sagde, at deres computer kan være inficeret med virus , og de ??kaldte fra Microsoft til at hjælpe med at redde hans computer. Han købte desværre historien og spillede med. Han gjorde, hvad de sagde, at han skulle gøre (jeg ved ikke, hvad de bad ham om at gøre) , og før han vidste det, var hans computer fuldstændig låst . Der var ingen måder hvor vi kunne få adgang til hans computer igen. Vi blev derefter nødt til at systemgendanne hans Windows til en tidligere tilstand for at slippe af med låsningen. Lige efter bemærkede han på sin web- bank , at de forsøgte at trække en enorm mængde penge fra ham ...

Så når du får et opkald som disse ALDRIG tro på dem. De forsøger at SNYDE EN MASSE PENGE fra dig. Bare læg røret med det samme.

Hvis deres samtale gør du tvivler , om din computer er virkelig inficeret , bare lav en KOMPLET virus scanning med dit foretrukne antivirus-software (og det anbefales også, at du scanner med en antiMALWARE software, såsom Malwarebytes , fordi mange antiviruses ikke fanger alle malware. Malware er de virkelige farlige. de kan tage dine passwords , identitet og så videre ) . Og hvis du stadig er i tvivl, kan du ringe til din antivirus selskab og rådføre sig med dem . Dette kræver som regel et abonnement med antivirus firma , som du betaler hver måned / år.

Men kort sagt : De er svindlere, der vil forsøge at tage en masse penge fra dig ...!

+2943549344 har  ringet til mig 11.48  3.april. Han påstod han var fra Microsoft og der var en virus og jeg skulle give ham oplysninger. Han lød forbløffet  da jeg nævnte min hjemby. Han burde vide det. Jeg sagde at jeg selv ville kontakte Microsoft hvis det var. Så begyndte han at sige nej, nej nej. Det var her jeg lagde røret på.
Sagt på Engelsk:

+2943549344 must be a scam

Wow! Are you THE Bella?! From Mayfair? When are you coming back to Denmark? Is it true you know Emma Watson and The Phelps twins?

Jeg er også blevet ringet op af det nr i dag
Og har anmeldt det til mit selskab som er Telia
Og de vil se på sagen

Jeg fik i dag et opkald fra dette nr. 294-354-9344 i eftermiddags. Kvinden i røret ppstod hun var fra microsoft og sagde hun kunne se at der var en virus i min software og ville vejlede mig i at slette den. Jeg sagde jeg ikke var hjemme og lagde på.

Fik også et opkald fra dette nummer i dag. På min datters telefon. Nåede ikke at tage telefonen.
Men opkald omkring virus på ens pc er et velkendt snydenummer, hvor de overtager en til at give dem adgang til ens pc. Derefter kan man være sikker på at de har adgang til alt på ens komputer og sikkert også ens bankkonti.

So what we've learned here is that the majority of Danish people don't pick up their phone if it's not a Danish number calling :)

Fik et opkald fra dette nummer for lidt siden. Påstod at min Microsoft PC havde et problem og bad mig om at sætte mig foran den så vill de løse det sammen med mig. Jeg sagde at jeg var ligeglad og så lagde hun på.

Also from Denmark, and just got the same call, I did however hang up when they asked for my parents (I'm 24), and if they were from anyone connected to microsoft they would know through my profile what my age is.
Just save yourself the trouble and don't answer if this number calls.

Er lige blevet ringet op af det nummer, det var en engelsk talende kvinde der spurgte efter en der hed Thomas, der var meget larm i baggrunden. Jeg lagde bare på

Fik et opkald fra 294-354-9344 den 29. marts.

Tog tlf men det var umuligt at forstå hvad de sagde, fordi forbindelsen var helt forvrænget. Lagde hurtigt på igen.

I'm from Denmark, I got a call from +1 294-354-9344 March 29. I picked up, but the there was no response from the caller and the caller hung up after a few seconds. Assumed it was a scam or such.

Du får ikke en landekpde da nummeret ikke er et officielt telefon nr. Det kommer fra et IT-opkaldssystem, de fusker ved at sige du har en virus og de gratis kan fjerne den for dig, hvis du på din computer går ind og tillader at de roder rundt på den.
Herfra skaffer de sig adgang til dine bankoplysning da de har Din computer 'pant' indtil du har betalt dem.  Hold jeg altid fra 'udenlandske' numre.

Just searched a bit about "fake phone numbers" and what not. Seems there exists a number of borderline legal services that allow you to fake a call from another chosen number. Maybe thats how they do it..

Oh, and I didn't want to risk actually opening that site they spelled out the link to. Even if I could remember the link in my head, I wouldn't link it in case it's malware or it installs some sort of data-stealing software.

I didn't find out. The only result you get from writing their phone number in Google is only *this* site. They *claimed* they worked for Microsoft and that their engineers had discovered a problem with my computer, but as Microsoft doesn't do unsolicited phone calls like that, they can't be Microsoft.

Who excatly they are, though, is unclear. You can't even know what country they're from, as the phone country code of +294 is a fake country code. (No idea how they do that).

Which firm was it, then?

Har været derinde og anmelde nummeret, og tilsvarende kontaktet min udbyder (oister)
