Phone number ☎️ 01612982920 👆 is reported as a scam linked to pop-up warnings claiming your computer is infected or blocked, urging you to call a number urgently or face locked access. Callers often pretend to be from Microsoft or a tech support company, sometimes using convincing accents, but press for payment to "fix" your PC or protect your identity. Several users mention their computers were blocked temporarily by the warning, and the caller refuses to specify their company, cutting calls off if questioned. Many people avoided calling, rebooted their devices without internet, ran virus scans with no issues found, and later confirmed the number belongs to scammers intent on extracting money. Visitors warn others not to engage and report frustrating persistent pop-ups and aggressive tactics from the scammers.

10 yearsI got this exact same popup on my laptop, with a man talking in a really convincing American accent saying he was from Microsoft. He warned me I'd lose access to my PC if I didn't call them in 5 minutes to sort it out. I quickly grabbed my tablet and looked up the number, which brought me here to this site. Like others, I just forced a shutdown and rebooted, hoping everything would be alright. The trickiest part was closing that annoying message - even after restarting, it popped right back up when I opened my browser again. I kept smashing the little ‘x’ in the corner loads of times until it finally went away. Did a full scan for viruses afterwards, just to be safe. Fingers crossed it’s all good now!Microsoft10 yearsGot a scammer messing with my computer, shutting it down and all that.

Trust me, don’t get caught out by this, it’s totally a scam!10 yearsMy PC showed a message saying it was locked and I had to ring this number. I gave them a call, and the person who picked up was speaking very strangely, so I ended the call. Then, I got a call back from a withheld number, it was the same person. I asked where they were calling from, but instead of answering, they just kept saying "you called, how can I assist?" That’s when I realised it was a scam and I just hung up. These scammers are really annoying and dishonest.10 yearsSo my computer popped up a warning about a virus, then they asked me to ring this number.
