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 recently encountered a frozen screen on Google Chrome accompanied by an automated message informing me that I, as a user of Sky Broadband, needed to call 02038050589 to address the issue. However, I quickly realized it was a scam when I performed a task manager function and scanned my computer for viruses (fortunately, there were none). It is quite disheartening to see that these scammers continue their malicious activities without being apprehended. Despite reading comments from others facing similar situations, it seems that no action has been taken to halt their schemes. It is concerning that they persist in attempting to scam innocent people.

Please refrain from contacting the following number as it belongs to an American company known as Techdrive Inc. Their address is 6856 Williams Pond CT, Falls Church, VA 22043. If you happen to encounter a situation where you are redirected to their website while browsing and they claim that your computer contains a security breach, we strongly advise pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE promptly. Then, navigate to Task Manager to safely close your browser, thereby regaining control of your computer. In the unfortunate event that you have already made a payment to these scammers, we urge you to report the incident to the police without delay. Additionally, please provide the police with all relevant details regarding this fraudulent scam company.

These scammers are engaging in criminal activities, so do not be fooled. If you encounter them, please report their actions immediately.

I encountered a frightening pop-up message on my screen, similar to what others have reported. Accompanied by an American female voice, the message urged me (a Virgin user from Swansea) to immediately call a specified number. I dialed the number and spoke to a woman from the Far East who was extremely difficult to understand due to the loud background noise. At first glance, it appeared that the call was toll-free, but that was not the case for the message itself. Fortunately, only my Google screen was affected, not my entire computer which contains important data for my firm. I grew suspicious and quickly ended the conversation with the Far Eastern woman. Upon checking the phone number afterwards, I realized it was indeed a scam.

I recently dialed this phone number and suddenly a large window appeared on my screen, preventing me from accessing my computer or using the keyboard. The person who responded claimed to be a technician from Windows technical support. Feeling anxious, I asked her how I could verify her legitimacy as a Windows support technician. She informed me that she needed to access my computer in order to diagnose the issue. This only intensified my fear when a screen prompt appeared, requesting permission for them to access my computer. In response, I asked her to call me back in two hours and swiftly closed all the windows on my computer. Strangely enough, I was able to regain access to my computer and keyboard. This infuriated me greatly, and if she calls again after two hours, I will strongly express my anger and frustration towards her.

Since this is a newly purchased computer, there must have been some additional downloads that caused this issue to occur. I promptly blocked the website to prevent any further problems.

I experienced a similar situation today: a popup appeared on my screen displaying an urgent message that I couldn't close. I called the provided number, and a foreign gentleman from a technical support company answered. As I couldn't understand him clearly, I ended the call and eventually managed to close the popup message. I've conducted a virus check which came out clean. Hopefully, this will be the end of it and you can find a way to stop these issues.

Beware, as this is a fraudulent act. They will request remote access to your computer under the guise of addressing an issue, but what they actually display is a façade to conceal their true activities in the background. Afterwards, they will demand an online payment from you and may even convince you to input your payment information for supposed enhanced security measures. To win your trust, they audaciously requested my undivided attention and warned against falling for scams like theirs. For more information and to stay informed, visit the website www.actionfraud.police.uk and read the alert published on 15 January 2015. Under no circumstances should you authorize remote access to your computer or provide any payment details.

I had a similar experience. My computer displayed a message claiming that it had a virus and instructed me to call a specific number for technical support. The pop-up message took a long time to disappear, which was quite frustrating. What concerned me the most was that it accurately identified my internet provider and location, leaving me feeling panicked. I attempted to call the number, but sadly, nobody answered the call. Now, I'm worried that I may have unknowingly put myself at even greater risk.

I experienced a similar incident just now. I was in the middle of watching something, when suddenly a message popped up on the screen. Unfortunately, when I pressed the 'x' button, nothing happened. I repeated this process about five times before the message finally disappeared. It was quite frustrating, really.

I have recently received a very urgent call for all Sky Broadband users. It was an American female voice urging to call a specific number. Has anyone else received this call? I tried 'x' command to dismiss it, but it didn't work. Eventually, I resorted to shutting down my computer. It wouldn't be surprising if this itself was the virus! I'm always cautious about clicking on random links or calling unknown numbers as fraudsters can easily pretend to be legitimate. That's how they manage to deceive so many people.

I was browsing the Internet when this strange thing occurred out of nowhere. I couldn't find a way to close the webpage or navigate anywhere else. There was an eerie robotic voice repeatedly mentioning the name and location of my broadband provider. It was quite unnerving. I decided not to call the number provided and instead used the task manager to shut it down. Afterwards, I ran a virus scan and fortunately, no problems were detected.
