02038089899 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02038089899 👆 is reported as linked to a widespread technical support scam, typically originating from overseas call centres. Callers impersonate Microsoft representatives, falsely claiming the user’s computer is infected and urging them to provide remote access or payment for bogus antivirus software. Victims frequently receive persistent, alarming on-screen warnings that cannot be easily dismissed. Users caution against contacting the number and advise shutting down the affected programmes via task manager and performing security scans with trusted antivirus tools. The scam relies on undue pressure and deception; it is strongly recommended to avoid any interaction and to change all passwords if access was granted. This number should be considered untrustworthy and associated with fraudulent activity targeting computer users in the UK.

My laptop got totally hacked, and now it's not working right.

Yeah, it's definitely one of those dodgy scams.

I figured out it was a scam after all, but for some reason I just can't seem to remove the page! Proper frustrating.

Does anyone know how to get rid of one of those scam viruses? I’ve tried a few things but nothing seems to work. Pretty frustrated honestly, it keeps popping up all the time. Any tips would be great!

So, I got a call from this number claiming to be Microsoft. They quickly jumped into asking for my bank info, saying I needed to buy an antivirus. I didn’t fall for it and just hung up. Later, I searched the number online and sure enough, it turned out to be some kind of scam.

I just switched to Windows 10 and right away got these pop-ups saying my computer was infected and would be cut off from the internet. We knew it was rubbish but rang the number anyway just for a giggle. An Indian bloke tried to get my wife to hand over our passwords so he could log into our computer and sort it out remotely. We told him they’re dodgy scammers and ended the call. Not surprisingly, a thorough scan with McAfee (which he claimed wasn’t good enough to detect the issue, haha) showed no problems at all.

I made the mistake of calling a number after hearing an error beep for ages. The person on the other end, who sounded Indian, claimed to be from Microsoft and said they needed to remotely access my computer to fix the issue. However, as I’m not an admin on my system, they couldn’t get in, and security blocked them. They ended up just hanging up and telling me to reach out to my IT team.

I nearly fell for this myself, I was clueless it was a scam so I went ahead and called the number! A man speaking with an Indian accent picked up and somehow got into my laptop. I got a bit wary when he dodged giving any details about the company or service he was supposed to be from. I ended the call and powered my laptop down right away. When I turned it back on, the error message was gone. Can't believe these scammers are still out there and not shut down yet! Really hope something is done about this soon!

This just happened to me. Loads of messages popped up claiming my computer was infected. I foolishly called the number, got an Indian guy on the line, and hung up straight away. Then, I just rebooted my machine and ran a virus scan - luckily, nothing was found.

Absolute rubbish from these scammers, such an easy fix. Just pop open task manager and close Edge. It sneaks in a tiny app named something like "Windows 10 Update and Privacy Settings." You can just remove that, simple as. Honestly, it’s just a sad effort from the typical muppets trying their luck.

This number claims to be Microsoft but it's just a scam from India. I’d advise you to steer clear and definitely don’t ring them back. They sound really convincing though, so be careful!

My PC popped up a warning and then refused to switch off. I ended up ringing the number shown, which in hindsight was a bit silly. To make a long story short, the person who remotely took over my computer seemed to be either trying to sell me some antivirus software or wanted me to pay £79.00 for their so-called repair services. After looking into it further, I managed to fix the issue myself. Still, I had to reset all my passwords, alert my bank, and scan every device in the house. The warnings they show are super flashy and scary, but it’s best not to call those numbers. Instead, try closing any suspicious pop-ups using the task manager.

This is definitely a scam!

My computer showed this number warning me about a virus and telling me to call them. Definitely dont ring back, its all a huge scam. Just ignore any messages popping up about viruses, its not real.

This phone number belongs to some tech support fraudsters from India. They try to trick folks by claiming their PC has viruses or issues, using typical tricks like:
checking event viewer (just standard logs and errors)
msconfig showing disabled services as if it's a problem
running commands like tree, dir, colour c, netstat to confuse people
and even a script that pops up fake security warnings when launched.
Be careful, it’s all just a scam.
