Similar to many others, we received a rather alarming message claiming there was a virus and urging us to dial this number straight away. Thankfully, I saw through the ruse and wasn't fooled – I let them know precisely what I thought of their tactics!

Received a dubious call from a chap claiming my device was infected with a virus. Clearly a scammer trying to pull a fast one!

I recently found myself in a rather alarming situation where a hacker managed to seize control of my computer. They've been demanding my personal information and even requesting payment for some so-called protection services. To make matters worse, they’ve left a note on my computer which I’m unable to remove.

I stumbled upon something rather alarming on my brother's computer; a message popped up indicating he had contracted a virus and that he urgently needed to ring a particular number for assistance. These scammers managed to persuade him that he was required to fork out £230 to resolve the issue. It’s absolutely infuriating to witness such deceitful tactics!

I recently encountered a dubious Microsoft message linked to this number, and I refrained from dialling it. Instead, I promptly opted to run my antivirus software to clear all cookies and browsing data. Following that, I carried out a comprehensive malware scan and decided to update all my passwords for the various sites I had open at that moment, just to play it safe.

My computer got all sorts of jammed up and then displayed a message claiming it was from Microsoft. Quite the nuisance, isn’t it?

I keep getting calls from this number urging me to call back because my laptop has a virus! Can anyone help me sort this out?

Total scam! It popped up out of nowhere on my computer. I just shut it down and when I powered it back up, everything was functioning normally again. Made sure to tidy up my cookies and did another restart just to be safe.

Hello there! I received a similar notification on my laptop, and it’s completely rendered it useless. I’ve never dialled this number, so I’m curious—how can I clear this pesky message?

Recently, I encountered a rather alarming notification on my computer claiming that hackers had compromised my system, insisting that I cough up £250 to resolve the issue. Naturally, I’m not inclined to pay such a sum, and now my computer appears to be incapacitated. Can anyone advise me on how to tackle this predicament?

While I was engrossed in my computer work, I stumbled upon a rather distressing situation. Out of the blue, I decided to call a certain number, and lo and behold, a chap on the other end was eager to guide me through some troubleshooting. However, as the conversation progressed, he suddenly demanded a hefty sum of £250 in exchange for his 'services' and to silence an incessant voice warning me about a supposed virus infesting my device. Naturally, I refused to part with any money. Regrettably, my computer is now rendered inoperable, as it appears they’ve managed to block me from accessing it.

Just a short while ago, I was tinkering away on my laptop when I encountered a rather similar issue. Curiously, I called the number in question, and this chap proceeded to guide me on how to troubleshoot my computer. However, after a few minutes of chatter, he suddenly demanded £250 to remedy the situation and to cease a persistent voicemail warning that my device had been compromised. Naturally, I refused to part with any money. Now, it seems they’ve somehow managed to lock me out of my own machine!

I keep getting this notification on my laptop about disabling it, so I decided to give them a ring. The chap on the other end asked me for the make of my laptop and sounded rather dodgy. There was all this muffled chatter in the background, definitely not the usual call centre noise. I promptly hung up, but then the blighters called me back! It’s clearly a scam, so I urge anyone who comes across this to sort it out before they manage to con someone else.

My computer has frozen, and it keeps bombarding me with a message claiming that all my photos, emails, and credit card details are locked until I make a call in just five minutes! I'm doing my best to ignore it, but the voice and alerts just won’t quit! It's quite the nuisance!

I'm experiencing the exact same issue!

I've encountered a scam pop-up myself. A quick restart of your computer using Alt, Ctrl, and Del can sort it out. I'm baffled as to why this number hasn’t been dealt with yet, seeing as it’s been plaguing us since at least the 16th of November.

I've come across this phone number, and it appears to be involved in some dodgy business that can potentially lock up your computer. It tries to present itself as a legitimate Windows call, but don't be fooled – it’s a ruse! It would be great if Windows could step up their game in informing us about these scams and taking decisive action to shut them down!

Yesterday, those absolute scoundrels attempted to rip off my brother. He was diligently revising on his laptop when their dubious call popped up. Instead of falling for their tricks, he decided to have a bit of fun with them. He launched into a series of nonsense remarks over the phone, just to rattle them a bit. Eventually, he called them out on their shady business, and wouldn’t you know it, they just hung up!

Concerning notifications – used the old ctrl, alt, delete combo and it sent the Task Manager apps packing...

I kicked off some alarm notifications after taking a tip from this site regarding the task manager processes that were active.

I received a rather odd automated voice message, supposedly from Microsoft, urging me to call a certain number to 'unlock my computer.' They threatened that if I didn't, they might terminate my access to protect their networks. The whole thing seemed rather fishy, especially with numerous spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and the peculiar way everything was pronounced. So, I decided it was best not to engage any further.

I keep getting this annoying browser hijack notification! It's clear they’re trying to breach my system to install malicious software and con me out of my information. I suggest using the task manager to regain control of your PC and then running several antivirus and anti-malware utilities to clean it up. Also, don't forget to alert the computer fraud team about what's happening. Cheers!

Received a call from someone purporting to be from Microsoft, insisting I ring a specified number right away due to a supposed hacking attempt on my computer. They even cited an error code: 0x8024402c. Quite concerning, to say the least!
