Does anyone have a contact number to report these despicable, dishonest individuals? I refuse to let this go; they are attempting to steal money from honest, working people. They do not deserve to share the same air with us - they are oxygen thieves!

I attempted to contact this phone number only to discover they were attempting to charge me for computer repairs. As a result, my friends and I have decided to repeatedly call them, despite having already fixed the issue. If you encounter a similar situation, I recommend shutting down your computer and then restarting it. It is important to note that this phone number is involved in fraudulent activities, so please avoid contacting them.

Absolutely a scam, don't get caught up in it. I made the mistake of calling them and letting them get into my computer. Right now, a mate who deals with PCs is wiping it clean, and in the meantime, my bank account has been put on hold until everything gets fixed.

i got a weird error msg and called this number out of curiosity. the person on the phone asked me to let him control my screen via an app called supremo. he kept saying my current antivirus isn’t good enough for windows 10 and insisted i buy a microsoft antivirus subscription for £95 lasting 2 years, which i told him no. now i’m worried, could he have accessed my laptop while controlling my screen? what should i do next?

Yesterday, I received a pop-up message stating that my Microsoft needed to be updated. However, I became suspicious when they began requesting money after I made the call. As a precautionary measure, I turned off my computer and conducted a scan using Norton.

Has anyone who underwent the process with them observed the method they utilise for remote access to your system? These companies should be reported and could potentially be expelled for violating the regulations of RD hosts.

Haha, I tried, but they ended up blocking me!

The individual demanded payment and presented me with two options: getting my computer repaired online or taking it to a shop. When I expressed my preference for a shop, he abruptly told me to shut down my computer and abruptly ended the call. Quite amusing, to be honest!

We regularly make calls to them solely with the intention of wasting their time and amusing ourselves. As a result, they are becoming increasingly angry. ;)

Beware of this fraudulent outfit masquerading as Microsoft support. They're keen on gaining access to your computer with the intention of billing you for non-existent repairs. It’s best to steer clear and absolutely refrain from picking up the phone when they ring. Keep your tech safe!

This number is linked to one of those popup cons where they pretend to be Microsoft, saying they’ll track your IP and take action if you don’t respond. Don’t let them into your PC or ring back, it’s a total scam!

My computer suddenly started a voice message saying it was under attack and that my bank info was getting stolen. It then told me to ring this number, saying it was Microsoft. I ignored it and didn’t call at all.

Please refrain from calling back this number as it is clearly a fraudulent attempt. During my laptop usage, a pop-up message emerged, claiming that my device was being targeted by hackers and urging me to contact this number. Naturally, I disregarded the message, logged out, and then logged back in. I also scanned my laptop for any malicious software; fortunately, it turned out to be bug-free. If, in case you are unable to log off completely, simply close down your device and conduct a thorough scan before utilizing it again.

Someone informed me that this phone number belonged to Microsoft security, and they warned me that if I didn't call it, my computer would be put at risk. I decided to dial the number, but unfortunately, nobody answered. Instead, I received a recorded message instructing me to call back at another time. However, I have no intention of doing so.

After approximately one and a half hours, I received a call from this specific number claiming to be Microsoft security. However, when I expressed my suspicion that they were scammers, they abruptly ended the call. I strongly advise against contacting this number.

I received a pop-up message on Google claiming to be from Windows 10 Security Centre. However, when I called them and explained that I was only 15 years old, they insisted I get my parents. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that and told them so. In response, they told me to call back when my parents were available. I argued with the person about this because I needed my computer urgently and my parents wouldn't be home until later. Frustratingly, he ended the call abruptly. I decided to dial again and strangely enough, the same person answered. He asked what I wanted, and I informed him that I needed help fixing my computer. Instead of assisting me, he threatened to block my number. When I asked for guidance on what to do with my computer, he simply told me to involve my parents or leave it as it is. This whole experience seems suspicious to me.
