Lost Email Contacts

[DOVEScot]

I had a telephone call from someone that said they were from Microsoft saying they were calling regards all my error reports, they talked me through a few tasks then I hit a point where it would not work so they asked my permission for a technical expert to take over my computer and fix it. They were on the phone explaining and I could see what they were doing

All was going well till they accessed my personal details like bank and credit card so I switched it off immediately and asked him what he was up to, he said it was a mistake my argument was hes was a supposedly a technical expert so I told him to fook off and I reset my computer in case they had installed any programme that would access my details

Maybe it was a mistake by them but I ain't taking no chances and maybe some experts on the site may shed some light but I have now lost all my contacts so can all those that keep in touch through email please send me one

Thanks

I'd phone the Police for them, did you get the phone number they contacted you from? If so pass it on to them.

I have not had any problems, I don't keep any passwords etc om my computer and shut down as soon as they tried to access my details

 

It was an odd 6 digit number which I tried to phone back but only a continuous tone

Aye members should be aware of this scam and pass it on to all their friends, I got caught and I thought I was street wise and computer wise and I fell for it
