Someone clicked on an ad that took them to a bogus Microsoft page saying their computer had a trojan and they had to ring the Microsoft Support number shown. Luckily, they got in touch with our in-house IT (me) instead, and I confirmed it was a phishing site. If you come across a site like this telling you to phone a number, just hit CTRL+W to shut the tab and let your IT team know so they can block the site. If your browser's full screen, press F11 to exit it. Don’t call the number - it’s a scam and pretty much an old trick by now.

I received a pop-up on my computer stating that there was an error. It had a phone number attached. So, I decided to ring it. The individual on the line instructed me to input certain information into my web browser. Feeling a bit uneasy about the whole situation, I chose to hang up before proceeding any further.

I've just found myself unable to access my laptop due to past complaints linked to this phone number. I'm keen for some assistance to resolve this issue and get back in. Definitely won’t be calling this number, that’s for sure!

I've been facing this pesky situation where my computer keeps flashing a scam message, urging me to ring the number displayed. Now, I'm completely locked out of my device. Has anyone got any tips or suggestions on how to handle this? I'd really appreciate the help!

My computer just froze up and then prompted me to ring this dodgy number.

Over the past couple of days, a strange message has popped up on my laptop screen three separate times. It claimed I had a Trojan virus and told me to call the 'toll free' number 01224 980972, supposedly from Microsoft. It also warned me not to shut down or use my computer. I just switched off my laptop, left it alone for a bit, then restarted and ran my usual antivirus. Be careful with that number - it's risky since they ask you to give them remote access to your machine.

Out of the blue, I discovered that my computer had utterly ceased functioning, leaving me at a complete standstill. It informed me that the Microsoft Security Service had barred access due to some pesky trojan spyware.

Blimey, my laptop just sprang an alert saying it's locked and I need to ring this number, 01224 980972. What on earth is going on?

Got a message pop up on my computer warning it was disabled, and it told me to ring this number, saying it was from Microsoft Security. They told me not to switch off or close my PC, and that I'd need to call them to clear the alert. They said my computer had a trojan spyware infection and tried to get me to let them access my machine. Then they asked me to press Ctrl, Windows, and Q all at once so they could help me fix things, but I said no.

Out of nowhere, my computer just froze and I couldn’t use it at all. There was a message saying Microsoft Security Service had blocked me from using it due to some trojan spyware.

A concerning notification appeared on a work phone that's clearly a ruse. If you encounter this pop-up, I highly recommend pressing and holding the power button on your device. Whatever you do, steer clear of calling the number!

This could be a ploy to infiltrate your device or to swindle you out of cash. Just be cautious! The number in question is 01224990972.

While my spouse was busy on the laptop, a rather alarming message popped up claiming to be from Microsoft, warning that a trojan horse was infiltrating our device. The number displayed was 01224 980972. Curiosity got the better of her, and she dialled the number. An Asian chap on the other end insisted that he required access to our computer. By the time I walked in, he was asking for a staggering £800 to install a firewall. Naturally, we declined the offer. After ending the call, I noticed some dodgy software had made its way onto our system, which I promptly uninstalled. To be on the safe side, we've gone ahead and blocked our bank account until Monday.
