Yep, that got me today as well

I just had the same thing and the person I was talking to gained control of my computer and then started opening all the camera apps and opening my photos to try and see who I was so be careful!!

I was just looking through this and came across this page here..... really how stupid can some of you be? Do you not watch news? Read papers? Use google? Facebook?

There have been millions of warning against these types of scams..... and yet you are stupid enough to let them in AND give them your money?

I wonder how some of you manage to even turn on a computer.

I got a pop up on my laptop saying the exact thing as above. As stupid as I am, I called the number and a guy with an Indian accent answered and told me I need to pay in order to get it fixed. I told him I would call him again but he said he would stay on the line no matter what which awoke my suspicion because I could hear him hesitating when I told him I would call him back. Luckily, my dad came in and saw and he told me it was a scammer and immediately told me to shut the computer down and end the call as well. I disconnected the wifi from the laptop and wiped everything off. But to make sure, can someone tell me how to make sure nothing's on my laptop? Thanks

Same also happened to me, and I'm not fooled easily. Unfortunately I had a lot on my mind, so simply span into panic mode which dulled my normal senses.

I let them remotely access, gave my credit card details, went to the loo & came to my senses.

I Disconnected from them by switching the laptop off, contacted the bank and fingers crossed all will be ok.

I will take my laptop to a friend to check for Malware, and the bank will disputed the charges as fraud.

They got me on a bad day, and even had the cheek to call me& leave several messages in my voicemail.

So I will say, this can obviously happen to anyone, because everyone has a bad day sometime!!

This just happened to me. Exact message as above. It seemed legit. I rang the number and allowed a guy with an Indian accent to remote log into my machine. He listed out all the things that were wrong and got to the part where I needed to pay USD$199 to have a technician fix it. I was instantly suspect. I disconnected him from the remote. First Thing I did was turn the firewall back on and encrypt my hard drive. Hopefully that will sort it out. Also, you can hold down shift and open safari to get rid of the dialogue box.

I also got this warning and rang the number. Luckily no one answered. I then googled and rang the correct support number and they there were able to clear any malware off computer too. The real number for online support is 1300 321 456

the same thing happen to me i call them a lady ask to allow her to access my computer but i did not allow her to access my pc just because of no trust i though it could be a scam

the same thing happened to me but became really pushy when I said id think about it, have they been able to access your computer still?

The message popped up today for me as well! But the problem is: I have never experienced something like that before, I was using my MUM'S laptop, and I was so worried I didn't notice the grammatical errors. Oh, and the fact that I'm only 11, but anyways.
Then there also was the issue of the laptop being in Chinese mode (so everything is Chinese since my mum is) but I can't read Chinese myself. So I was stupidly tricked into linking the laptop with the scammers', and I told them the credit card number and everything, with our phone numbers, addresses, names...
Luckily my dad realised what was happening when he came home; unluckily today is Boxing Day and all the banks were closed so we couldn't change our information.
And also, they target Apple and Windows?! That's just cruel and mean etc.
I live in Australia, so I'm interested if anyone in another country has got it. And do we call the police, or what? I don't have much experience.
It's probably lucky that no money was stolen.
I feel so sorry for anyone who was tricked.

they just entered my computer as I thought they were Microsoft support. Then they wanted me to enter my card details so I could pay them to get a virus off. I didn't enter my details and changed my pass codes on another device, I hope they cannot access my computer still. any how I will be taking it to tech to sort it out

These people are SCAMMERS..
