Phone number ☎️ 01782491080 👆 is reported as a recurring scam involving pop-up warnings claiming a user’s computer is compromised, often triggered by visiting specific websites like streaming or adult sites. Callers posing as tech support convince victims to grant remote access and then pressure them for payment to "fix" nonexistent issues. Many users had to force restart their devices to exit the persistent pop-ups. It is strongly advised not to call the number or allow remote access. If compromised, disconnect from the internet immediately, shut down the device, and seek professional assistance before reconnecting. Victims should change passwords and consider having their device wiped if necessary. Authorities and consumer advice services warn that legal recourse is limited, as these operations typically originate overseas.

9 yearsOn 3rd April 2017 I got this annoying pop-up scam. Best thing to do is just reboot your PC and give it a good clean. If you’re up for it, mess around with the scammers a bit. Definite scam, so watch out!10 yearsThey called me saying my laptop was hacked and wanted me to ring them back. Seemed a bit off to me.10 yearsHey, this message popped up on my laptop and I’m not able to get rid of it.10 yearsI had this happen on my laptop as well, that message just popped up and wouldn’t go away for like 5 minutes. Eventually, I got lucky and closed the popup, but I’m not really sure if it did any harm to my computer or not.10 yearsWatch out, it’s definitely a scam! They try to get you to let them control your computer remotely. We fell for it and only realised after. Now we've had to change every password and are wiping the laptop completely.10 yearsThis kept popping up on my computer and I can't seem to get rid of it.10 yearsI got a call from this number on my laptop and foolishly allowed them remote access. Luckily, they didn’t manage to charge me, but it’s clearly a trick to sell you unnecessary software claiming to protect your PC. If they manage to get into your machine, immediately disconnect from the internet and shut down your computer. Only reconnect once you’ve taken it to a technician to check it over before using it again at home. Honestly, nearly got caught out by these lot. Be careful!10 yearsWas just watching some films online when suddenly my laptop got completely taken over by this. Didn’t get fooled by their tricks thankfully, but it stopped me from closing anything at all on my PC. Had to do a proper hard reboot, which was super annoying 'cause I'd loads of stuff open that wasn’t saved. Really frustrating experience.10 yearsLooks like just another scam call, honestly.10 yearsI’d say avoid calling back.10 yearsTo the person who got caught on 19th Feb, try not to freak out! Your name and postcode aren’t exactly secret - you can easily find them in a phone directory. Plus, your phone number is also quite easy to get hold of for similar reasons. So don’t stress too much!10 yearsLooks like a total con artist to me.10 yearsgot a call off this number yesterday and being daft i rang them back straight away. they told me my laptop was infected with some nasty viruses. next thing i know, they have control of my pc and even managed to get my name and postcode. never imagined i'd be tricked like this. can someone tell me what to do now?10 yearsThis number keeps trying to con money from people, caught 'em red-handed three times myself. Heard they've ripped off loads of others too. Someone should really shut this number down quick.10 yearsSo basically, if you visit some dodgy websites, often adult ones, you might get this scary warning popping up on your screen. They try to freak you out and get you to hand over cash by pretending to have taken over your PC. Honestly, I’m left wondering what sort of nasty spyware they sneak onto your machine to trick you into paying them. It’s proper rubbish.10 yearsGot this alert pop up on my laptop and, daft me, I called the number back. They were really pushy, trying to get control of my laptop. I managed to keep them off, but honestly, it was so sketchy. Definitely seemed like a total scam.Submit Your Own Report (01782 491080)
