8 yearsHad the same issue, just shut down all your browser tabs, switch off your WiFi for a moment, then open up your browser again and make sure to shut that annoying page. Sorted!8 yearsCan anyone share a contact to report these filthy scammers? I'm not just gonna sit back while they try ripping off hardworking folks. They don’t deserve to even breathe the air, such oxygen-stealing crooks!!!8 yearsI got a call from some bloke abroad who was really nasty and rude. Definitely a scam, watch out!8 yearsSo I gave this number a bell and they started trying to charge me for sorting out my laptop. After that, me and my mates kept ringing them even though the problem was already sorted. If you get caught out like this, just shut down your computer and then power it up again. Honestly, this number’s dodgy, don’t bother calling it.8 yearsAbsolutely 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.8 yearsi 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?Microsoft8 yearsYesterday, a pop-up appeared claiming my Microsoft needed updating. I did call them at first, but felt uneasy once they began requesting payment. I ended up turning off my PC and ran a scan with Norton just to be safe.MicrosoftNorton8 yearsGot a voiceover call on my PC just like back on 5th Feb 2018, totally ignored it!8 yearsHas anyone dealt with them and caught what software they use to get remote access to your computer? They really should be reported because these kinds of firms aren’t allowed by the RD hosts and could get banned for it.8 yearsI tried calling back, but they just went ahead and blocked me haha.9 yearsThe bloke asked me for money and mentioned I could either fix my computer online or go to a local repair place. Once I said I'd prefer a shop, he told me to just switch off my computer and then ended the call, lol.9 yearswe keep ringin' them up just for a laugh and to waste their time [seems like they're getting pretty annoyed] ;)9 yearsBeware 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!Microsoft9 yearsI got a call from this number asking for £180 to sort out some problem, it really stressed me out so I just ended the call. Avoid these lot, they’re definitely scammers.9 yearsI think i might have fell for a scam, not sure tho.9 yearsThis 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!Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from these lot, said I had to pay up to sort some problem - total scam.9 yearsMy 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.Microsoft9 yearsThe government really isn’t doing much to keep the internet safe, lol.9 yearsAvoid calling this number, it's totally a scam. My laptop suddenly showed a warning that it was being hacked and told me to call it. I just ignored it, signed out then signed back in, and did a full virus scan - nothing suspicious found. If you can’t log out properly, just shut your device down completely and run a scan before turning it on again.9 yearsTry switching off your internet and then turning it back on again.9 yearsApparently, this was meant to be a Microsoft security helpline and if I didn't get in touch, my computer would get hacked or something. I did try calling it, but at first there was no one there, then a recorded voice told me to call again later. I’m not planning to bother with that call ever again.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from this number and after about an hour and a half, they called me back claiming to be from Microsoft security. When I told them they sounded like scammers, they just hung up on me. Seriously, avoid this number!Microsoft9 yearsI got a popup on Google saying it was from the Windows10 security centre, so I called the number they gave. When I told the guy I was only 15, he just said I should get my parents. I said I couldn’t because they weren’t home, and then he told me to ring back when they were. I argued with him, saying I needed my computer sorted right away but he wasn’t having it. Eventually, he just hung up on me. So I phoned again and got the same bloke, which was odd. When I asked him to fix my PC, he threatened to block my number. When I asked for help, he just repeated to get my parents or forget it. Honestly, felt really dodgy.GoogleSubmit Your Own Report (0161 791 8120)
