2 yearsI fired up Windows on my Mac and got hit with some dodgy scam alert saying my PC was locked and that I shouldn’t shut it down or mess about, but instead ring the “Microsoft Support Team” on the provided number. Ran scans with Norton and Malwarebytes and neither picked up a single issue. Also ran Disk Utility’s First Aid on the drive and it came back clean as well. It’s a proper nuisance and I reckon it’s gonna take a while to clear this annoying Windows startup scam off my machine.Microsoft Help TeamNortonMalwarebytes3 yearsMy partner’s laptop suddenly froze and displayed a message claiming our IP had been hacked, telling us to call a certain number and not to shut the computer down. At the same time, a loud recorded voice kept repeating the exact same message over and over. After looking it up here, we decided to switch off the laptop, unplug it from the power socket, and left it off for a few hours. When we powered it back up, everything was working normally again. It was really annoying and quite scary at first.3 yearsSo, my husband's laptop got stuck showing a message that said to call this number. We've seen this happen once or twice before, and our usual fix is just to turn it off completely and wait a bit before switching it back on. Honestly, it’s a bit scary the first time it happens!3 yearsIf it was a genuine issue, Microsoft probably would’ve sorted it out themselves instead of letting people find out on their own!!!Microsoft3 yearsi had to turn my laptop off so i couldnt do anythin but luckily my mate helped me sort it all out in the end3 yearsThese people claim they're from Microsoft but it’s all a scam. They pop up on your screen with fake warnings. Best thing is to just ignore what they say and don’t follow any of their directions.Microsoft3 yearsGot a call from a number that claimed to be Microsoft, telling me to call 01224960361 so they could help me get rid of a supposed trojan on my computer. Complete nonsense, nothing like that was true.Microsoft3 yearsWhen I tried clicking a link from a news site, a pop-up showed up. They provided a number claiming to be Apple’s customer service. I got suspicious so I looked it up on Who Called Me, and turns out it was definitely a scam.Apple3 yearsI never got a call, just a message on my iPad from someone sayin I need to ring 01224 980361. They claimed to be Apple security and said my iPad was locked. Definitely a scam, don't fall for it!Apple Security3 yearsGot a call with a supposed Microsoft warning about malware. The voice sounded official and they had the Microsoft logo, but it was all just a trick. It popped up as a full screen browser window from some weird Cloudfront URL. Total scam.Microsoft3 yearsThis was defiantly a sketchy call! My brother’s PC locked up, so he rang the number that showed on his screen. They then tried to take over his computer and asked for his passwords. Thankfully, he hung up right away when that happened.3 yearsReceived a message that said my computer was locked because my IP was linked to some kind of fraud. It told me not to shut down my PC and to ring Microsoft security right away on 01224 980361. Really scared me! 11/01/2024Microsoft Security3 yearsMy computer got locked and this number 01224980361 showed up as the Microsoft security contact. Has anyone else seen this? I’m stuck and can’t figure out how to remove the block from my PC. Any advice?Microsoft3 yearsSomeone called, saying they were from Apple’s security team. They told me my Apple device was blocked because of some security issue and asked me to contact them on this number. It popped up when I clicked on a story about pyramids on MSN news! I quickly closed the tab straight away. I did snap a screenshot just in case you want to see it. Definitely seems like a dodgy scam.Apple SecurityAppleMSN3 yearsI got a call from 01224 980361 and suddenly my computer froze up, showing a message about my IP being hacked and ID theft happening. It said it was from Microsoft Defender and told me to ring them to fix the issue and unlock my laptop. Luckily, I know my way around computers so I was able to remove it without much hassle. It’s clearly a scam, but they make it seem really legit since your computer just locks up and won’t work properly. Definitely don’t call the number!Microsoft3 yearsJust now I stumbled on that same page about pyramids (I’m really into ancient Egypt stuff) and suddenly it switched to some Microsoft Security alert, saying there was a security breach or something. I’m not great with tech, but after a bit of messing about, I finally got the page to close. Quite a scare!EgyptMicrosoft Security9 yearsGot two annoying calls from this number today.10 yearsJust got a call from another Ashbourne number (01335 770045) and it looks like it's from the same UK caller ID spoofing scheme or whatever. Two separate calls in as many days, and neither left a voicemail. I'm definitely blocking them both now.AshbourneEnglandUK10 yearsGot a call at 7:43 in the morning, ruined my morning lie-in on my day off. They keep phoning from various numbers, so if you’ve had a call from them too, make sure to block 01335 470045. That’s the only one I know right now but I’ll add more if they ring again.10 yearsGot a call about some UK preference survey, kept ringing non-stop and just wouldn’t quit. Proper annoying!UK10 yearsKeeps calling me over and over, then when I pick up, they put me on hold and suddenly just hang up. So frustrating!10 yearsKept ringing but no one picked up, so I just blocked the number.10 yearsIts driving me mad, they keep ringin me from loads of different numbers!10 yearsI get calls almost every day from really annoying people who sound rude, especially when I tell them I’m busy working and can’t chat. They keep using different phone numbers too, which is starting to drive me mad!10 yearsMostly people from other countries keep ringing me non stop from all sorts of numbers. If I ask them to remove me from their calling list, they just cut off the call straight away. Frustrating!10 yearsThey called at like 7.44 in the morning, way too early for me. I just about grabbed the phone but they had already hung up!10 yearsIm fed up with UK Preference Service, they keep ringing me like twice a week but always from different numbers. No matter how many times I ask, they just refuse to take my number off their calling list. Total nightmare p######10 yearsNo replies yet, so I rang the number back to find out who it was. It’s a UK-based number and after checking online, it turns out they’re professional cold callers. I’ve blocked the calls now! :)UKSubmit Your Own Report (01224 980361)
