The fraudulent messages frequently lock browsers, emit distressing sounds, and persist through normal shutdowns. Users are advised not to call the number, to reboot their machines, run trusted antivirus scans, and avoid clicking suspicious links. Official Microsoft representatives confirm no association with this number. Reporting to relevant authorities and changing passwords after such incidents is recommended for safety and peace of mind.

10 yearsTOTAL SCAM. I just restarted my computer and it fixed the issue right away.10 yearsI got totally caught out by this scam. My screen started flashing red with warning noises and all. Spent hours on the phone to a number beginning 01473, following their instructions step-by-step. Eventually, I let "Online Resolve" sort my PC out, saying it needed software re-installing and fixing from supposed infections. I even ended up paying over £150 for their “help.” I called my bank to double-check when they texted me saying the payment looked suspicious. On the plus side, my son went over my laptop completely and says everything’s fine now. They replaced some software with what turns out to be genuine Windows, and I've already got an Office update through. Today I’m changing all my passwords, letting the bank know what happened and reporting it to the police. Hope others can avoid falling for this like I did! David EdwardsOnline ResolveOfficeDavid Edwards10 yearsThis number is totally a scam, so avoid calling it. If you’ve had any problems, try rebooting your computer and running Malwarebytes to clean up whatever might be causing it.Malwarebytes10 yearsI tapped on a Trump-related story on Facebook and next thing you know, some dodgy stuff got downloaded onto my phone. It gave out scary warnings about some sort of disaster. Honestly, steer clear of that story and whatever you do, don’t ring the 01473 number!Facebook10 yearsI ran Malwarebytes free on my mum's computer and it cleared the Trojan without any hassle.10 yearsThis number is a scam, they called me saying I had a virus on my computer and tried to charge me money to fix it. Don't trust it!10 yearsGot a red warning pop up on my screen saying the same thing and it was stopping me from using my computer. I rang Microsoft but they had no clue about it. Looked up this number online, restarted my pc and everything was fine after that. MJLMicrosoftMJL10 yearsDefinitely a scam. I clicked on a link about D.T. getting arrested and suddenly got a scary pop-up saying my computer had a trojan worm and I had to ring Microsoft on some number. Chrome got frozen but the rest of the PC still worked, so I just restarted it. Everything looks fine now. I’m running a full virus scan just to be safe, but I doubt it’ll show anything.D. T.Microsoft10 yearsmy dad's laptop got frozen earlier today and he was told to ring this number. they demanded £400 claiming to be from Microsoft in LA. luckily i overheard the call from another phone while looking up the number and told him to just hang up, which he did. he restarted his computer and hopefully it’s all fine now. seriously, don’t give them any money!Los AngelesMicrosoft10 yearsI gotta say, I did click on some Donald Trump link (I’m from the UK, mind you) and figured Facebook links would be alright. Did a virus scan afterwards and it came back clear, but every time I open MS Edge, that annoying message pops up again. Not sure what to do next. Anyone got any ideas?Donald TrumpUKFacebookMicrosoft10 yearsI got a message on my screen saying my PC was infected with some virus code like 055BCCAC9FEC, and it looked like it was from Microsoft. The message said to ring that number straight away. It seemed pretty official at first, but I suspected it was dodgy. Since I couldn’t close the message normally, I just shut down my computer and rebooted it. After a bit of searching online, I found out it’s a sneaky scam. If you ring them, they probably try to get your personal details or take control of your machine. Best advice - don’t call this number under any circumstances.Microsoft10 yearsGot the same kind of warning that others mentioned, with some beeping noise along with it. I called the number 01473 378279 but felt suspicious of the caller and just ended the call. I’ve also run a quick scan on my device and everything came back clear. In the past, when I dealt with sketchy numbers, I usually try to look them up or check their website while still on the call to see if it’s a scam, but this time I couldn’t do that because the page wouldn’t shut properly.10 yearsI didn’t get a call myself, but somehow that number popped up for me to ring after I clicked a dodgy “Trump arrested” link. Since then, Microsoft Edge won’t work at all - I’ve tried switching it off and even rebooting the router, yet the error message just stays there. Proper frustrating!TrumpMicrosoft10 yearsI really don't get why anyone would choose to tap on a link about Donald Trump. Who's actually interested in that?Donald Trump10 yearsI got this number pop up after I clicked a link about Trump. The call said it was from Microsoft support and claimed my computer was infected with some Trojan worm thing, like RDN/Trojan.worm!055BCCA or something. The warning just kept reappearing, even after I shut it down. I know a bit about tech stuff, so I’m having a go at sorting it. Managed to get into Safe Mode and cleaned up the startup programs with msconfig to try and fix it.TrumpMicrosoft10 yearsI had the exact same thing happen to me. I shut down my computer, but when I powered it up again, the error message was still there. I ran a full virus scan and it said everything was fine, no issues found, but the warnings just wouldn’t go away. In the end, I switched off the computer again, reset my Wi-Fi, turned the machine back on, and now it's running without a hitch.10 yearsHad a very similar thing happen to me - got a message on Facebook about Donald Trump. The bloke on the other end seemed dodgy, showing me a site and telling me my PC was practically fried with viruses once I let him have remote control. He then wanted more than £200 to supposedly fix it. I told him no way and cut off the connection straight away. Ran a full scan afterwards and my computer was fine. Could've gone south quicker, but these lots just want to rip you off with fake claims.FacebookDonald Trump10 yearsMy mum ended up in the exact situation after clicking a link about Donald. Suddenly, loads of virus alerts popped up along with a message telling her to ring a certain number. Whatever you do, don’t call it! It’s definitely a scam!!Donald10 yearsI'm pretty sure this is one of those scams.10 yearsI went through the exact same thing. Loads of calls claiming to be from Microsoft kept coming in. I eventually got an app for my phone to block those numbers, and it did the trick for a while. But then they switched tactics, sending me alerts about some fake virus and even a strange high-pitched sound. I decided to call back the number they gave, which was 01473378279. Right away I felt something was off - the person on the other end, who said they were from Microsoft, couldn’t make sense of what I was saying and I couldn’t understand them either. Honestly, it’s crazy how people make a living like that.Microsoft10 yearsLike a few others here, I ended up clicking on a link that said "Donald Trump Arrested." Suddenly, my screen turned red and there was this awful blaring noise. They had a button to exit the page but clicking it did nothing. The alarms, a warning about some worm, and being stuck on that screen really freaked me out. So, I rang the phone number on the display and spoke to a guy with a heavy foreign accent. Honestly, he was pretty tricky to understand. He told me he’d need to remotely connect to my computer to fix the issue. That’s when I got suspicious and told him I didn’t think he was legit. He claimed he was tech support from Florida, but I just ended the call right then. Since the incident, I haven’t had the guts to power up my laptop. Now that I’ve discovered this site and read what other people said, I’m feeling braver about giving it another go.Florida10 yearsThese folks definitely aren't with Microsoft. They're really dodgy and just trying to scam you. They try to scare you by gaining access to your PC and then threaten to erase everything unless you pay up. If you see some alert on your screen telling you to call them straight away - don’t ring them! Just shut down your computer and reboot. This week, their trick is to catch people with a fake post on Facebook claiming Donald Trump has been arrested. Best just to steer clear and ignore it.MicrosoftFacebookDonald Trump10 yearsJust a little while ago I had the exact same experience. I clicked on a fake news story about Donald Trump’s arrest and suddenly a bunch of scary alerts popped up on my screen with loud alarm noises. It claimed my computer was infected with some Trojan worm and told me to ring Microsoft tech support on the number displayed. I quickly shut my computer down then restarted it, everything looked fine afterwards. Out of curiosity, I searched the number online to see if it was legit. So relieved I did - turns out it was a scam and loads of others have been caught out too. It’s honestly terrifying how these things sneak around trying to trick you. Makes me feel like a little creature being hunted by some big predator. Stay alert and don’t let them fool you!Donald TrumpMicrosoft10 yearsGot a notification on Facebook claiming Donald Trump had been detained and urging me to call a number at once. They wanted me to access my PC remotely, but luckily I said no. I reckon they might now try ringing my mobile since they’ve got my digits. Turned off my laptop afterwards and all looks fine so far.FacebookDonald Trump10 yearsPretty sure this number is tied to some kind of online computer scam.10 yearsI got caught out by what I now reckon was a ransomware scam and this number claimed to be "Microsoft tech support". Foolishly, I called them and ended up getting stung for £170, supposedly to get my computer "sorted". They even mentioned some issue in the US where certain sites went down last Friday, trying to scare me into coughing up for their so-called repair service.MicrosoftUSA10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft help, but all they wanted was my money for some kind of protection service. Total scam.Microsoft10 yearsGot a warning pop up saying my PC was being hacked and to call ‘Microsoft Technical Support’ at this phone number right away. I checked the real Microsoft helpline first and they confirmed this number isn’t theirs at all. Looks like a sneaky scam trying to trick you into phoning them instead of the legit support.
