Oh, and it happens on Windows 10 too - doh!

Is there any reliable method to eliminate those pesky pop-ups that seem to be plastered everywhere by fake advertisers?

Steer clear of making any calls to this number! And should you encounter a pop-up alert on your device, I strongly urge you to disconnect your computer and cut off your internet connection immediately-this is nothing more than a scam!

I completely concur; I’m becoming increasingly weary of this fraudulent Tam business.

My Google Chrome screen suddenly froze and then I got a dodgy automated voice saying I was a Sky Broadband customer and to ring 02038050589 to sort it out. I tried ctrl alt delete to close it, ran a virus scan and found nothing. Total SCAM alert! Honestly, why aren’t these scammers shut down yet? I’ve read loads of comments about them and figured someone would’ve done something by now, but nope, they’re still out there trying to rip people off.

AVOID RINGING THIS NUMBER! It's registered to an American firm named Techdrive Inc, located at 6856 Williams Pond CT, Falls Church, VA 22043. If while surfing you get sent to their site and they claim your PC is hacked, quickly hit CTRL + ALT + DELETE, then choose Task Manager to shut down your browser. That’s usually the best way to take back control of your computer. In case you’ve already fallen for one of their cons and paid money, contact the cops straightaway and let them know about this fraudulent company.

Please avoid answering that phone number, it’s a total scam. They attempt to get access to your private info on your computer or laptop. If you’re caught, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, open Task Manager, and shut down the suspicious app. Run a full antivirus scan just to be safe. These people are scammers, don’t be fooled. Definitely report them straight away. They’re basically criminals trying to con you.

I got this freaky message pop up on my screen, kinda like others have said, with an American lady’s voice telling me, a Virgin customer from Swansea, to ring this number straight away. I called it and ended up talking to a woman with an Asian accent who was pretty hard to understand, plus there was loads of noise in the background which didn’t help. At first, the message made it seem like the call was free, but that was only for the call itself. The warning appeared on a Google page, not my whole computer, which had my work stuff on it. I quickly got a bad feeling about the whole thing and cut off the call. After looking up the number, it was clear it was a scam.

So I got this weird pop-up on my screen that blocked everything, couldn’t even use my keyboard. I ended up calling the number displayed, and some person claiming to be from “Windows tech support” answered. I was proper nervous and asked how I could be sure she was actually legit. She said she needed to get into my computer remotely to fix whatever was wrong. Then another message popped up asking for permission to access my device - made me even more uneasy. I told her to call back in two hours, then shut everything down on my end. Oddly enough, after that I was able to use my computer again. Honestly, it really annoyed me. If she rings back later, I’m definitely going to tell her off big time.

I couldn’t get into my computer so I just typed the number into Google on my phone. Turns out it’s legit, just doing a thorough scan with McAfee right now.

Had the exact same issue! Ended up shutting it down through the task manager. Did a full virus scan afterwards and everything came back clear.

This exact thing just happened to me earlier, a message popped up saying it was urgent and wouldn’t let me close it. I called the number it showed, and a guy with an accent answered. When I asked what company it was, he said some sort of tech support but it was hard to understand him so I just hung up. Managed to shut the message off after a while and ran a virus scan, thankfully everything seems fine. Fingers crossed this is the end of it and it doesn’t come back!

This is definitely a con. They pretend to fix your computer by asking for remote access, but it’s just a cover-up so you don’t see what they’re really doing in the background. After that, they try to get you to pay online - and even make you enter your card info to “secure” the transaction. They even had the nerve to tell me to watch out for scams while trying to scam me! If you want more info, check out www.actionfraud.police.uk and look for the warning from 15 January 2015. Never let anyone access your PC remotely or hand over your payment details!

I had the exact same experience, got a message saying my computer was infected with a virus and telling me to call this number for help. The pop-up wouldn’t close for what felt like forever. It even somehow figured out my internet service and where I live, which really freaked me out. I dialled the number, but no one picked up. Now I’m worried I might've made things worse for myself.

This happened to me just now as well. I was watching something and suddenly got that message popping up. The worst bit? Clicking the x didn’t make it disappear! Had to do it about five times before it finally vanished from my screen... what a pain.

Just got a call saying urgent - urgent - urgent for Sky Broadband users at this number [anyone else get this?], sounded like an American lady. Tried pressing 'x' to stop it but no luck. Eventually, I just turned my PC off. Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if that was some kinda virus! I’m always cautious about “click here” or “call this number” stuff. Scammers can sound really convincing, which is probably why they get away with it.

I was browsing online when this popped up out of the blue. I couldn’t get rid of the page or go anywhere else. There was this creepy robot voice saying my internet provider and where I live over and over. Gave me the chills. I didn’t ring the number that showed, instead I just shut it down using the task manager. Did a virus check afterwards and it didn’t find anything wrong.

I just had the exact same thing happen to me a few minutes ago, but I didn’t pick up or call the number they showed. The annoying part is, I can’t seem to close or get off the page no matter what I try. Any ideas on how to fix this?
