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.10 yearsSome bloke called saying my laptop had the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death" virus. He then started pushing some lifetime security deal on me. When I said no thanks, he got quite rude.10 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 just got this message on my laptop as well. At first, I figured it was some kind of scam, but then it stopped me from closing the tab and warned that if I tried to close it before calling, my computer would get locked!! Thankfully, I searched the number online and landed on this site. Honestly, these lot are a bunch of con artists... so annoying!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 had almost the same run in with this number. They tried to get me to give my credit card info, something about a Trojan or some scam like that. For sure, it’s dodgy. The thing I don't get is, if it’s been flagged as a scam, why hasn’t the number been blocked or taken away? Who's responsible for that? Would that be BT or someone else?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 yearsWhen I turned on my computer, a warning popped up claiming it was infected with a Trojan virus! The alert kept repeating and I couldn't get rid of the window no matter what I tried. I figured the phone number shown was the only way out, so I dialed it. A man with an Indian accent, apparently from the Philippines, answered and began giving me detailed instructions. Instead of following along, I asked if he was genuinely from Microsoft. He couldn’t provide any proof. I told him I knew about scams like his and ended the call. Honestly, for a moment I was truly worried my PC was seriously infected and that I might never get it working properly again! It’s sad to think some people probably believe these fake warnings and end up getting scammed :(PhilippinesMicrosoft10 yearsDidn’t ring this number, total scam.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, a popup appeared on my laptop from someone claiming to be a 'Support Engineer', telling me to ring a number to help me regain access to my bank account online. Instead of calling that number, I rang the bank myself, and after they checked everything, they said there was nothing wrong. Honestly, it’s quite worrying that a big High Street bank in the UK didn’t flag this as a scam! I decided to search the phone number on Google and found loads of people sharing their stories about nearly falling for it too - really glad I looked it up!UK10 yearsSounds like those scumbags might be using online scams to funnel cash to Daesh or something.ISIS10 yearsThese calls ain't coming from India, they're more likely from Pak*stan or folks linked to it. It's probably some scam trying to collect cash, kinda like those dodgy CD scams for the IRA way back in the 80s. It’s definitely some kinda cybercrime going on here.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 yearsGot a pop-up on my PC warning about a virus, looked just like what someone else mentioned before. I rang the anti-fraud line on 0300 123 2040. Fingers crossed they catch those pesky scammers!!!10 yearsThis morning, my computer showed the exact same alert others have mentioned here. I phoned the number and the caller, who sounded like he was overseas, claimed to be from Microsoft. He said he needed to access my PC remotely to investigate and fix a problem that might be there. When I asked how he could prove he really worked for Microsoft, he just shrugged it off and said trusting him was entirely up to me! Honestly, it's such a blatant scam and really annoying!Microsoft10 yearsGot a dodgy message from 0203 868 5689 about some virus error - something like Trojan backdoor hijack 365838d7f8a4faf - telling me my computer’s blocked. Honestly, do these scammers really reckon I’m that thick? What a load of rubbish!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 yearsMy PC suddenly showed a warning about being infected with Trojan Backdoor BS0De83rhx and said it would be locked unless I rang 02038685689. I just ignored it and didn’t call!10 yearsGot a call from what sounded like an Indian call centre trying to scam me. Definitely dodgy.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 yearsMy tablet suddenly showed a warning with a robotic voice claiming to be Microsoft. It said I had a virus stealing my credit card info and logging into my Facebook account. It really caught me off guard!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)
