10 yearsI had a rather similar encounter to what Ian described. Someone posing as official Microsoft support contacted me, asserting that my computer would be locked down and my personal data compromised if I didn't comply. Quite alarming, really!IanMicrosoft10 yearsMy sister’s laptop suddenly showed a popup claiming she’d been hacked and that her banking info along with passwords for Facebook and email were all at risk. Right then, a voice spoke up, pretending to be from Microsoft, saying she needed to call this number: 0203 8688005 or else her computer, browser, and all her accounts would get locked. 04/12/2016 19.00 Ken BrownFacebookMicrosoftKen Brown10 yearsEverytime I check Facebook news, I keep getting a message saying Microsoft has blocked my PC and that I should ring them because of a virus messing with their system. It's definitely a con.Microsoft10 yearsToday I got the same thing, this time through a Facebook news story. I took a screenshot and shut the page down straight away. Didn't bother calling the number at all! Recently saw a TV show about spam and scams, so I was pretty cautious. Just to be sure, I ran a quick scan on my laptop. Then I looked up the number on Google to check what it was about!Facebook10 yearsI've found the best way is to just shut down your computer fully and then turn it back on. That usually gets rid of the scam page for me.10 yearsI noticed this number displayed on a window claiming to be from official Microsoft support, suggesting that my computer has been locked and my data compromised.Microsoft10 yearsI just turned off my router after getting on my laptop... they were asking for my credit card info, Facebook login and even pics... honestly, it freaked me out. Can I still use it? Is it safe now?Facebook10 yearsLately, this website has popped up on my laptop a couple of times. I kept trying to turn it off for ages, like more than an hour, then turned it on again but it’s still there. I can’t access my emails, Facebook, or Google at all. I’m kind of stuck and not sure what to try next.FacebookGoogle10 yearsYeah, I had a bloke claiming to be from Microsoft out in Las Vegas ring me up. I played along with him for a bit just to see where it would go, but when he got tired of it, he just ended the call. Typical scammer behaviour!MicrosoftLas Vegas10 yearsSame story here, like others have said before. Got a call from this number and it was just the usual stuff. Nothing new really, just what everyone else has mentioned already. Pretty annoying, to be honest.10 yearsSo, I clicked a Facebook link and then this warning popped up, saying it was Microsoft, and my computer froze. I rang the number just to see what they’d say, but as soon as I spoke, they hung up with a quick 'goodbye'. Not long after, they tried ringing me back from some weird area code. I just shut the computer down and rebooted to escape the whole thing.Microsoft10 yearsI just got a new laptop and was trying to set it up. When I went online to check Facebook, a message popped up saying my device had a virus and I must call 02038688005 or else the laptop would be locked. There was an American guy warning that my card info could be stolen. I haven't even properly started using the laptop yet, so I just turned it off. I’m going to give it another go before deciding what to do next???Facebook10 yearsI got a page that looked just like Microsoft, telling me to dial this number because my computer supposedly had spyware. The page wouldn't close or let me open anything else, so I ended up having to shut down the PC completely and boot it up again.MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (020 3868 8005)
