So, I got this message popping up on my screen saying there was a virus on my PC and warning me not to do any online shopping until it was sorted. Thinking it was serious, I called the number straight away. Lucky for me, it was just a voicemail saying I’d called outside office hours or something like that. Thing is, it was 9.15 in the morning on a Monday! Quite suspicious if you ask me.

I received a notification on my computer warning me about a virus, just like others have mentioned in earlier comments.

This number’s all about marketing tricks. It’s not harmful, just a right pain. Best not to ring it back. Instead, just open your task manager, close down your browser, then launch it again like normal. If it pops up asking to restore your last session, just click no. You’ll be fine then.

While I was browsing online, a window suddenly appeared claiming my PC had a security issue and warned me not to turn it off. It told me to ring a certain number to sort the problem. The page stopped me from opening any other tabs and wouldn’t let me close it. I ended up turning my computer off and on again, then scanned with AVG but found nothing wrong. Definitely do not call that number!

I’ve just started a full scan on my own too, same situation here.

This number called me too. I did a thorough search and everything seemed legit, but turns out it’s a scam!

While perusing an information site the other day, I encountered a rather alarming message claiming my device was infected with a virus and urging me to call a certain number before I attempted any online shopping. Naturally, I took a moment to ensure my computer’s updates were all current, and thankfully, everything seemed to be in order. After reading some feedback here, I'm relieved I didn't make that call. Still, it does leave one pondering-if this message was entirely benign, why on earth received it in the first place? It appears I might need to bolster my defences against spyware and adware to fend off such unsolicited alerts in future!

I've recently encountered a similar dilemma. I've received both audio messages and written threats that are rather unsettling. My browser refused to shut down, so I had no choice but to terminate the entire process. I'm currently running a full scan of my computer. It's quite baffling, as I'm unsure which link led to this annoying predicament.

I had a rather disconcerting experience earlier today when I was perusing the Independent newspaper's website. A message suddenly popped up on my desktop, indicating a technical issue and advising me to call a specific number for assistance. It warned against shutting down my computer, lest I lose any vital data. Curious yet apprehensive, I dialled the number, where a lady with an accent that seemed to have a hint of the East picked up. She introduced herself as Rachael. I explained the situation, and she launched into a rather elaborate technical explanation that left me feeling a bit bewildered. Ultimately, the crux of her message was that she could resolve this 'threat', but she insisted on obtaining details about my computer. Feeling the pressure of time, as I had errands to run, I abruptly ended the call and turned off my device. Now, I’m tapping away on my laptop, seeking some sage advice on how to proceed. Any thoughts? Cheers, Alan Armstrong.

I had the exact same thing happen! This annoying pop-up showed up telling me to ring that number because apparently my computer was hacked and infected with malware. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!

I was browsing a site when suddenly this loud security warning popped up on my screen, saying my PC was infected with a virus and not to switch it off. It even played a voice telling me to call a number for help. I wasn’t falling for it though. I quickly pressed Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close everything and ran a full virus check but it came up clean. Pretty scary trick, but glad I didn’t get fooled.
