10 yearsSo, I had this rather annoying pop-up show up on my laptop, claiming to be from Microsoft and displaying that number for me to ring. I made a valiant effort to dismiss the pesky pop-up, but to no avail-nothing seemed to work! In the end, we just powered off the laptop, fingers crossed it’s vanished for good now.Microsoft10 yearsI just received a notification on my laptop whilst I was on a call with Microsoft. I decided to look up the number and found out it was a SCAM. I promptly hung up, but now I'm stuck with this message that I can't seem to get rid of. It's absolutely infuriating!Microsoft10 yearsI keep encountering this number on my laptop, and I’m fully aware it’s a scam. I’ve also been receiving calls claiming to be from ‘Microsoft’, insisting that there’s a virus ‘pinging an alarm message’ back to their end! I love to play along and ask them, “Is it the HP or the Toshiba that’s causing the issue?” No matter what they reply, I just say, “Sorry, my computer isn’t that brand!” and promptly hang up! Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this incessant message from popping up? It’s becoming a daily nuisance. I’ve tried using Ctrl+Alt+Del to access Task Manager, and I can get rid of it by halting Internet Explorer, but I can’t seem to eliminate it entirely. AVG hasn’t picked up any viruses; I’ve even disabled it and switched on Windows Firewall, but to no avail. Honestly, I don't have the luxury of 'crashing' my computer either!MicrosoftHPToshiba10 yearsI received a call from someone posing as Microsoft, and at first, they sounded remarkably convincing. It all seemed above board until they instructed me to hand over my bank details for a firewall installation. This raised a red flag since, earlier in our conversation, they had explicitly warned against entering any passwords due to security issues. I ended up having to restart my laptop to get rid of the unauthorised software and screen they had managed to put on. Very dodgy!Microsoft10 yearsI experienced the same issue! My computer suddenly became unresponsive, accompanied by audio and pop-up messages claiming to be from Microsoft, urging me to dial this particular number.Microsoft10 yearsExactly what everyone else has mentioned!10 yearsI had a similar experience today where I thought I was reaching out to Microsoft because a pop-up claimed my computer would be locked if I didn’t ring them to safeguard my data from a so-called virus. At first, I was intrigued but kept a healthy dose of doubt in my mind. It was only when the bloke on the line insisted on having complete access to my machine that I decided to hang up. Since the number's out there for everyone to see, isn't it possible for the authorities to trace the origin of this number and take action?Microsoft10 yearsAccess to a customer's laptop was restricted. She received a call from someone purporting to be a Microsoft representative, who then took control of her device to "examine" it. He informed her that her computer had been compromised and insisted that she needed to make a payment. Thankfully, she didn't fall for it. This is clearly a con.Microsoft10 yearsI experienced something quite similar recently - a scam that masqueraded as a Microsoft notification. It completely seized control of my computer and rendered my files inaccessible. When I tried to dismiss it by clicking the 'X', a new window popped up declaring that Microsoft had taken over my device. They then demanded a ransom of £450 for file recovery, plus an additional admin charge of a whopping £1000 to regain access to my hard drive. It's absolutely ludicrous!Microsoft10 yearsI almost fell victim to a scam the other day! They somehow gained control of my computer and demanded £150 to sort things out. Absolutely infuriating!10 yearsWhat a disgraceful individual! He had the audacity to claim he was from Home-line Windmill Windows. When I started to probe a bit, he abruptly hung up without a second thought. Yet another one of these foreign chaps trying to wrangle some cash out of unsuspecting folks.10 yearsDo yourself a favour and steer clear of this number. It's a total scam! My computer went haywire, and then suddenly a dreadful little pop-up appeared, instructing me to call this number claiming to be Acer Business Solutions. They tried to swindle my wife out of forty-nine quid to supposedly unlock our machine. Sadly, she naively let the chap take control of her screen. It was quite alarming as she saw all sorts of data flashing up in a window. When she requested him to stop and relinquish control, he did, but it's left us feeling rather uneasy. We've since changed all our passwords, just in case.Acer Business Solutions10 yearsBeware of the scamming operation linked to this IP address; it's best to steer clear and avoid any communication with it!10 yearsI keep receiving notifications from this number on my monitor, claiming it's related to a virus. I'm opting to disregard it since I've noticed that others have been attempting to extract cash from me to supposedly renew my computer license.Submit Your Own Report (020 3808 8964)
