Phone number ☎️ 02032899400 👆 is reported as a pervasive tech support scam purporting to be from Microsoft or Apple, involving sudden alerts that lock computers and urge victims to call a provided phone number. The warnings claim virus infections, hacking attempts, or suspicious activity, often using intimidating language and official logos to appear credible. Callers are pressured into purchasing costly security software or granting remote access, risking financial loss and data compromise. The scam often employs Indian-accented operators and bogus invoices from fictitious companies. Legitimate antivirus scans frequently show no issues, confirming the false alarm. It is advised to avoid calling the number, forcibly reboot the device if locked, run trusted security software, and seek professional computer assistance if needed.
Reports on phone number 02032899400
5 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Windows Defender Support, saying my computer had been hacked and there was a warning on my screen I couldn’t get rid of unless I phoned them. Thought it sounded genuine, so I rang the number. They offered to fix the issue by getting me to buy some kind of protection that cost £399 for a year or £599 for five years. I told them I needed to speak to my family before making a decision. Didn’t realise the call was charging me 9p a minute at the time.Windows5 yearsGot a call from a number that showed up on my laptop saying it was Microsoft. They said I needed to ring back straight away because someone had been using my IP to watch dodgy sites, which definitely isn’t true. The screen was frozen too, so the only way to get out was to shut the laptop down and start it up again. They claimed it was a UK freephone, but I’m pretty sure that’s a load of rubbish!MicrosoftUK5 yearsI got a message on my screen saying my PC was locked and to ring a certain number. They tried to get me to let them connect in. I said no, restarted my laptop and ran a scan with Windows security - all clear. Then I noticed it was only a website pop-up, shut the tab and looked up the number online. Definitely a scam, don't fall for it!Windows5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft saying there was an issue with my computer they wanted to fix. I really believed it was genuine at first.Microsoft5 yearsI was just on the Asda site when suddenly a pop-up appeared screaming about a Trojan spyware problem. It freaked me out and said I needed to call a number to fix it. Sadly, I got tricked into handing over my card info, along with my name, address and Apple ID. They even convinced me to download some remote access app called Anydesk. What a nightmare!AsdaApple5 yearsWas trying to log onto the ASDA site on my Mac when suddenly a message popped up saying I had a virus. It told me to call Apple Support on 02032899400 for help to get rid of it. I was on Firefox, but switched over to Safari and the warning disappeared, so I figured it was a scam. To be safe, I ran my antivirus software anyway.ASDAApple5 yearsMy laptop’s locked and won’t let me in, and now it’s showing a phone number to call for help.

Definitely a scam, do not trust them!Apple5 yearsI just switched on my laptop when suddenly a loud warning popped up, locking the screen and pretending to be from Microsoft Support. It claimed my computer was infected and told me to call a number so a "Microsoft technician" could help fix it.
