WARNING
Suffolk Constabulary are warning people to
be on their guard against the following frauds, which are currently
being reported to us on a regular basis :-
1. You receive a telephone call from a
person claiming to work for Microsoft and informing you that you
have numerous errors and faults on your computer which they can
clean up for you if you give them remote access to your computer
and pay them a fee using a credit or debit card. Never reveal your
card details to anyone who calls you and of whom you have no
previous knowledge.
This is a fraud - every computer will contain an error log, but it
does not mean there are faults with the system. It is simply a
means of Microsoft improving their products and they will never
ring you to ask for details or tell you your machine needs
cleaning. It is this error log the caller directs you to in an
effort to convince you they are genuine.
2. You apply for a loan over the internet and receive a call back
from someone offering to assist you with the loan, but first you
have to prove you can meet the payments by purchasing a Ukash
voucher or similar and calling them back with the number of the
voucher, or transferring money via a money wiring service.
This is a fraud - you will never see the loan and you will lose
the money you have spent on the voucher or transfer. No reputable
loan company will ever employ this method and Ukash vouchers are
not intended for this type of transaction.
