Supposedly Solarplicity calling, a young lady speaking with an East Asian accent, trying to get me to install a smart meter. When I asked for more details, she mentioned the meter was a first generation model and that it’d only work with one provider. Has someone gotten hold of Solarplicity’s customer info? I’m pretty sure this is a scam.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Solarplicity, sounded like a young woman with an East Asian accent, talking about fitting a smart meter. When I asked more questions, she said it was a first gen meter and it’d only work with one provider. Makes me wonder if Solarplicity’s customer list has been compromised? Feels like a total scam to me.

I usually don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise. If it’s something urgent, they’ll leave a voicemail. Otherwise, I just ignore it. Pretty straightforward way to deal with it.

I keep putting them on block, but they just ring from a new number. I block one, then they come back with another. It’s a never ending cycle.

Something similar happened to me with the number 0280172666. I let them get into my computer at first, but soon got a bad feeling that it was dodgy. I quickly unplugged my PC and called my bank to freeze my account. It was really upsetting all round.

Mid February I got tricked by a dodgy link on Facebook as well. I was daft enough to pay them to sort it out. I’m not that good with tech but I reckon Facebook should do more to stop this fake stuff. PC World told me it was a scam.

Watch out for Acer Business Solutions calling from 0800 689 4178. They run a dodgy operation based in India with offices in Islington and a really sketchy billing team (think money laundering and stealing payments). I've already reported them to the cops.

I had the same thing happen, called the number back with my phone off and ran a scan. What really worries me is it showed up as coming from Microsoft. Facebook really needs to do something about letting this rubbish spread all over its site.

I was scrolling through Facebook and accidentally clicked on an ad that popped up with a virus alert telling me to ring a 0203 number. I ended up shutting my laptop down and turning it back on, and everything looks fine now. Made me think though, if I had called that number, would it have been one of those crazy pricey calls?

My relative got a pop-up on their laptop saying it’d been infected by some virus that apparently stole bank details and told them to ring a certain number within 5 minutes. Total scam alert! I’ve phoned that number loads of times today just to see what they’d say, but not once did anyone pick up. Absolutely don’t bother calling that number!

Had a similar thing happen to me just yesterday, it was really unsettling and quite frightening initially but luckily I didn’t actually ring back. I chatted with Microsoft support online and got tips on clearing my history, changing all my passwords and so on. Even then, I was so nervous I ended up cancelling my credit card, freezing my online banking, and running a full virus scan. If the number is traceable, can’t the cops track this person down and put a stop to it?

I got a pop-up on my laptop saying Microsoft needed me to phone them because my computer supposedly had a virus and was being blocked. They claimed if I didn't ring in 5 minutes, my passwords and credit card details would be at risk. I just turned it off but still feel a bit worried about it.

I also got tricked by that Melania to divorce Trump post on Facebook. I phoned the number they gave and ended up talking with some bloke for around 20 minutes. He tried to convince me we had a virus called conficker on our system. I only got wary when he asked for £299 to sort it out and wanted my full name, address, and phone number. That’s when I realised it was probably a scam, so I asked for a number to ring him back on. He gave me Acer Business Solutions on +44 0880 088 5480. If this scam has been going round for ages, why hasn’t Facebook done anything to stop it?

I ended up clicking on that Melanie Trump ad on Facebook after seeing the same weird pop-up on my screen! Never had anything like that happen before. I decided to Google the number and was so relieved to discover it was a scam. Turned my computer off straight away and ran a virus scan after restarting. Everything seems okay now. Definitely not clicking any more ads on Facebook. So grateful for sites like this where people share info.

I got an email that looked like it was from Microsoft, saying my PC was infected with a virus and to ring a certain phone number. When I called, the line just went dead, like they hung up on me.

I ended up shutting my computer off, but I’m still worried about how they managed to get into my email in the first place. Would be great if someone could shed some light on this. Cheers.

Had a pop-up on my laptop screen saying it was from Microsoft, warning that my bank details and credit cards were being hacked and to call 02038088451 quoting code 268d. It seemed pretty legit and said if I didn’t answer my computer would be turned off for Microsoft’s safety. Nearly got tricked! When I rang the number, some bloke called Pimble or something said he could sort the problem but wanted me to pay $199.99 for one fix and $299.99 for another. I just hung up and switched off my computer. Just a heads up, this scam was seriously convincing!

I never got a call from 02038088451, but I saw a warning about it online so I decided to check it out. There was an ad on Facebook about "Melanie Trump filing for divorce," which I clicked on, thinking it was just news, but it took me to a website that looked exactly like Microsoft’s official page and said my computer was hacked. I guessed it was some kind of scam, so I looked up the number here. I also opened task manager and forced closed my internet browser, and now everything seems fine. On top of that, I’ve run several antivirus scans just to be safe.
