02038685689 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02038685689 👆 is reported as a persistently deceptive scam where callers claim your computer is infected with severe viruses, often the "Blue Screen of Death" or Trojan backdoors, pressing victims to call a given number. The fraudsters impersonate Microsoft technicians, offering costly, unnecessary "security" services while attempting to gain remote access to your device. Attempts to close the warning or shut down the computer often fail, heightening pressure on victims. Many advise ignoring the pop-up entirely, refraining from calling, and restarting or resetting your device if needed. It is a known phishing tactic primarily originating from overseas call centres. Victims report rude behaviour upon refusal and warn against sharing any bank or personal details. Contact official anti-fraud services if affected and never trust unsolicited virus alerts urging immediate action.

8 yearsthese lads are absolute con artists, once you pay them a hefty amount, they lock you out of your computer. something's gotta be done about this quick.9 yearsA chap claimed my laptop was plagued by the infamous "Blue Screen of Death." He attempted to peddle a lifetime security package. When I turned him down, his tone took a rather aggressive turn.9 yearsSo I got a call telling me to press Windows + R, then this box popped up. I thought it was a bit odd, so I looked it up online. Didn’t trust it at all, so I just cut off the call, closed everything, ran a scan on my PC and ended up reporting their phone number. Definitely dodgy.10 yearsI’ve just encountered the same thing on my laptop. At first, I figured it was some sort of con, but then the page froze and wouldn’t let me exit. It even threatened to lock me out if I tried to close it without calling them first! Thankfully, I did a quick search for the number and stumbled upon this website. Honestly, these chaps ought to be punished... it’s infuriating!10 yearsyeah I received a message telling me to ring back. It was actually the second time they’d contacted me. The first time, I was clever and just restarted my computer. This time, I wasn’t quite as cautious and ended up calling, but I never shared any bank info or anything like that.10 yearsI’ve had a worrying experience much like many others. It seems I’ve stumbled upon a right con-my credit card info got tangled up in this so-called ‘Trojan horse’. It’s undoubtedly a scam. What really baffles me is, if this has been clearly identified as fraudulent, why isn't the number being taken out of circulation by whoever issued it? Is this something to do with BT, perchance?BT10 yearsI was trying to access my bank account online when I got a message just like the ones mentioned here. I ended the call straight away.10 yearsI recently changed my computer, and to my utter dismay, a notification popped up claiming that my system was compromised by a Trojan virus! The sound that accompanied it was incessant, and I couldn't seem to shut the window no matter how hard I tried. I thought the phone number listed was my only hope of resolving this issue, so I dialled it and ended up chatting with a chap from the Philippines (with an Indian twang), who began giving me a series of instructions to follow. Instead of following his steps, I asked him if he genuinely worked for Microsoft. His response was rather vague, and he couldn't provide any proof of his identity. Suspicion set in, and I informed him that I was aware of scammers like him before bidding him farewell. To be frank, for a fleeting moment, I genuinely worried that my computer might be kaput for good! I can easily see how individuals could fall prey to such alarming messages and end up as unsuspecting victims. It’s quite alarming really!PhilippinesMicrosoft10 yearsDefinitely a scam. I chose not to return the call.10 yearsI had a message pop up warning me my computer was infected with a virus and if I didn’t call the number provided, my Facebook and bank info would be at risk and my device would stop working! The day before I’d got an email pretending to be from HMRC about a tax refund, not sure if that had anything to do with it? I checked with HMRC and they said they didn’t send anything like that. Don’t call that number, it’s a phishing attempt to steal your info. I just switched off my laptop and the message disappeared. I’m also sending details to anti-fraud via email.FacebookHMRC10 yearsThis morning, I encountered a rather alarming notification from 'Support Engineer' on my laptop, urging me to ring a specific number to regain access to my banking online services. Naturally, I decided it was wiser to reach out to the bank directly. After a thorough check on their end, they reassured me nothing appeared to be out of sorts. It's quite alarming that a well-known bank on the high street in the UK couldn't detect such a scam! I took the liberty of searching the phone number online and stumbled upon numerous accounts from others who nearly fell into the trap - I feel incredibly fortunate to have dodged that bullet!UK10 yearsSounds like those scumbags might be using online scams to funnel cash to Daesh or something.ISIS10 yearsThese calls aren't originating from India; they're coming from Pakistan or its citizens. It's quite probable that they're trying to solicit funds similarly to how phoney CDs were leveraged for IRA funding back in the 80s. This definitely falls under the realm of cybercrime.IndiaPakistanIRA10 yearsGot a call from 0203 868 5689 with a pop-up on my PC telling me it had a virus, really similar to what others have mentioned here. I rang the anti-fraud helpline at 0300 123 2040 hoping they’ll catch these scumbags soon!10 yearsReceived a notification on my computer claiming that it's been infected with a virus. It sounded strikingly familiar to what someone else mentioned earlier. I rang up the anti-fraud hotline at 0300 123 2040. Fingers crossed they catch those scoundrels!10 yearsThis morning, we received a rather similar message that others have mentioned. I decided to ring the number provided, and an individual on the other end claimed to be representing Microsoft. He insisted he needed to access my computer remotely to investigate whatever issue might be occurring. When I pressed him for some form of verification to confirm he was genuinely from Microsoft, he couldn’t offer any. It was simply a matter of whether I chose to trust him or not! What a disgraceful scam this is!Microsoft10 yearsI got a bizarre message today claiming to be from some kind of internet scam, warning me about a so-called error virus - (Trojan backdoor hijack 365838d7f8a4faf) - from the number 0203 868 5689. It insisted that my computer had been locked. Honestly, do they really think I'm that daft?10 yearsIf your laptop or iPad gets stuck with those annoying pop ups that just don't disappear, the only way might be to do a factory reset. So, it's a good idea to have your backups ready, like saving your stuff on a USB drive or something similar.10 yearsI got a message on my PC that wouldn’t go away until I called this number, they said it was £150 for some kind of yearly security plan. Turns out they just want your bank info to scam you! It’s a total phishing trick. The best thing to do is just reboot your computer and don’t bother calling them at all.10 yearsGot a dodgy phishing thing pop up on my laptop, said it was from Microsoft. Quite a scare at first, but luckily I realised quickly it was all fake. Stay sharp, folks!Microsoft10 yearsI received a notification on my computer claiming that it had been compromised by something called Trojan Backdoor BS0De83rhx. The message threatened that my machine would be rendered unusable unless I rang 02038685689. (Of course, I didn’t take the bait!)10 yearsA bunch of con artists operating out of Indian call centres.10 yearsJust got a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft - total scam. Don’t bother with them at all.Microsoft10 yearsGot a pop-up and audio warning on my laptop saying it was infected with a virus, along with a number to call supposed Microsoft tech support. The line was awful, and the person on the phone said the “tech” had to run some more thorough security tests that would set me back £120. No chance I’m falling for that!Microsoft10 yearsI received a notification on my tablet that set off an alarm, along with a robotic voice claiming to be from Microsoft. It announced that I was infected with a virus that was pilfering my credit card information and accessing my Facebook account. Quite alarming, I must say!Microsoft10 yearsThat dodgy bloke from Leicester, fran guy or something, is up to his old tricks once more. Total scammer, absolute joke.BlimeyLeicester10 yearsGot a call from 0203 868 5689 today, these lot tried telling me they were from Microsoft and that my computer was infected. Total scam, don’t fall for it! They’re just after your details.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (020 3868 5689)
