A warning has been issued by Hampshire Constabulary following reports of computer phone scams.
“We’ve been made aware of further reports of a scam where someone claiming to be from a computer software company – usually Microsoft – is cold calling people.
They say that you have a virus on your computer which affects its performance and then offer to fix it remotely for a fee.
This is a scam!
Do not give your bank details to anyone who calls with this or a similar story.
If you think this may have happened to you, please call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040, to report it”.
