G-Wiz Tech Support announces that the Microsoft phone call scam is becoming a widespread problem in Adelaide.Gavin Piliczky, the proprietor behind G-Wiz Tech Support a computer repair business in Adelaide has now made it a priority to offer help to victims of this common phone scam.
The phone scam works by the caller being convinced that they are receiving a call from Microsoft and that they have many errors on their computer that require fixing. The scammer proceeds to perform some minor unhelpful maintenance tasks on the computer remotely and then proceeds to debit the victims credit card, often for very large sums of money.
Gavin Piliczky from G-Wiz Tech Support stated:
"It's just terrible, these victims are being tricked in to losing huge amounts of money. I want to do what I can to inform people on this matter. I've watched an elderly couple lose all their savings over this scam. People need to know about this problem and should be confident in protecting themselves."
G-Wiz Tech Support is offering the following advice to victims of the Microsoft phone support scam:
"Never answer the phone to callers stating they are from Microsoft, they will never contact you via phone in this way. If you feel you have been scammed then call your bank or financial institution immediately for support. The banks can cancel credit cards and sometimes reverse transactions. It's also important to contact the authorities and provide them with as much information as possible. If people need further advice they are welcome to contact us."
G-Wiz Tech Support offers onsite computer repairs and services to both homes and businesses across Adelaide. They offer a wide range of services including virus removal, data recovery, networking and file sharing and much more.
