4 yearsI got this too on my dads laptop, that number popped up on full screen. Managed to press escape to exit and shut down the browser. Then i ran Norton and Malwarebytes scans just to be safe. Nothing suspicious showed up, so i dont think anything got through. Seems like a random thing, from what ive read here. Sure they need to sort this out better but i reckon they’ll just switch to a different number or location next time anyway.Norton4 yearsBeware of these scammers, they keep changing their tactics. I got a call from two blokes and a lady, all talking with thick Indian accents. Don’t ever ring back this number! It popped up as some fake Microsoft warning. They claimed to be Microsoft techs and somehow got me to let them put remote access software on my laptop and phone. Then they tried to rob me blind. Best thing to do is just turn your device off and restart it straight away.Microsoft4 yearsMy laptop suddenly started acting up, and a message popped up saying I should call this number for help, claiming it was Microsoft. Turns out it wasn't them at all. It was a scam, and I ended up losing £2,500 from my bank account.Microsoft4 yearsThis number called me after my computer froze, and I was really confused about what to do next.4 yearsReceived a rather dubious call from someone purporting to be from Microsoft, warning me that my computer was on the brink of being compromised. Then, quite peculiar, they rang again the next day asking for further details about the number 2380970413. This individual identified herself as Christine Williamson. Best wishes, TonyMicrosoftChristine WilliamsonTony4 yearsI received an alarming notification suggesting that I should call right away since my computer has been locked. It's completely unresponsive at the moment, but upon investigating this number further, I've realised it’s nothing but a scam.4 yearsGot the exact same thing others here mentioned about this number. My laptop froze and started playing an audio warning, plus a message popped up telling me to ring Microsoft security because my computer was hacked. I ended up just restarting it to get rid of the alert.Microsoft Security4 yearsHonestly, dont bother calling that number. Just shut down your PC and boot it back up again... and voilà, it's all fixed.4 yearsMy laptop suddenly froze and showed a message asking me to call "Microsoft Security." The bloke on the phone had a strong accent, sounded Asian, and struggled with pronouncing his Vs properly. After I spent a while typing in stuff and actually thought it might be legit, he then asked me to access my online bank account. That’s when I knew it was a scam and I hung up straight away. Total fraud - please don’t fall for it!Microsoft Security4 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Microsoft support, saying my PC was infected with Trojan Spyware and to ring 02045204858 straight away. Did a Mcafee scan, which came back clean. Just shut down the computer to stop the warning popping up. Totally a scam, no doubt about it.MicrosoftMcAfee4 yearsReceived a dodgy call from this number, claiming to be from Microsoft. They managed to lock up my laptop's display and insisted that I call them immediately. Quite the con!Microsoft4 yearsI’ve just fallen victim to a scam from this number, claiming to be from Microsoft. They managed to lock my laptop screen and instructed me to call them immediately. Quite the unpleasant experience!Microsoft4 yearsMy computer froze and popped up a message telling me to ring the number above. After thinking about it for a bit, I gave them a call. There was tons of chatter going on in the background. They helped me get my laptop working again, and at that point they hadn’t asked for any payment info. But then they started asking about my phone, and that’s when I decided to hang up because things felt fishy to me. Just my two cents.4 yearsMy laptop completely froze, and then out of the blue, I got an SMS supposedly from Microsoft support. I decided to give them a ring and was greeted by a lady with an Indian accent. They then instructed me to download some software which would allow them remote access to my computer. While this was happening, I had a nagging feeling and started to look up the number online. To my absolute horror, I discovered it was a scam! I promptly shut down my laptop, which made the lady quite irate, but I just ended the call. After that, I rebooted my laptop and made sure to delete the questionable software. Now, I can't help but wonder, have they still got the ability to infiltrate my system?Microsoft4 yearsMy laptop completely conked out, and as I was trying to sort it out, a message appeared from what claimed to be the Microsoft support team. I rang them up and was greeted by an Indian woman on the other end. They then instructed me to download some software onto my machine, which gave them remote access. However, while that was happening, I was savvy enough to do a bit of digging online about the number that had contacted me. It turned out to be a dodgy operation, so I swiftly switched off my laptop. This seemed to infuriate the woman, and in a panic, I simply ended the call. Once I had the chance, I powered my laptop back on and uninstalled the software. Now, I can’t shake the thought - could they still have a way to get into my laptop?Microsoft4 yearsGot a call from them saying my PC was locked and I had to ring this number they gave. Totally a scam, no doubt about it. If the number is really from London, how come the police haven't tracked them down and caught them yet?4 yearsI received a call from what claimed to be a Microsoft tech support line regarding a supposed Trojan issue. When I tried to engage with them, the connection was horrendous, and the service left much to be desired. It all felt rather dodgy, so I hung up. Definitely gives off the vibes of a scam!Microsoft4 yearsI noticed this number flashing up on my laptop, accompanied by a message that claimed "someone is accessing my data." The alarming part is that I can't seem to get rid of this message, and now my laptop has frozen completely, refusing to respond to any of my inputs. I'm rather puzzled as to how to resolve this situation and would appreciate any insights on how to clear it.4 yearsNo response received; I've got no clue who this might be.4 yearsI recently received a rather dodgy call claiming they could help me access my computer remotely. They went on about my PC being compromised and pretended to represent the Microsoft tech support team. Honestly, get a proper job, folks!Microsoft4 yearsI had the same experience with these idiots! They really need to be caught and put behind bars. I just know someone unlucky will end up getting tricked by their nonsense. The minute that fool started talking, I knew it was a scam - I’ve come across this rubbish before. They should be arrested, locked up, and the key tossed away. To those scammers: we see right through your tricks!4 yearsGot a call pretending to be from Microsoft Security with a fake alert about malware. They told me not to switch off or restart my computer and to ring a dodgy number instead. Total scam, beware! 😱Microsoft4 yearsReceived a message claiming to be from Microsoft, but it was a total scam. Best thing to do is not answer or call back, just restart your computer or try pressing Alt+F4 like someone mentioned before. Keeps you safe from getting tricked!Microsoft4 yearsI called this number and right after, they called me back from +18449302762. They said they were from Microsoft tech support and tried pushing some software on me. If they ask you to let them control your computer, just say no - it's definitely a scam.Microsoft4 yearsDon't ring that number, it's definitely a scam. My laptop got stuck showing a message telling me to phone them. Pressing Alt+F4 helped me close that annoying window that was locking everything. You can safely switch off your computer if you need to. I’d suggest doing a security scan afterwards just in case anything dodgy was left behind.4 yearsIf your computer freezes while dealing with these scammers, just turn it off and start it up again. Never, and I mean never, let them have remote access to your device. It’s best to ignore anything they say.4 yearsEven though I was a bit wary, I let them get on with it! While they were supposedly setting up the security software, I decided to ring my bank just to be safe. Luckily, they hadn’t managed to get into my account, and I’ve since updated my passwords and security info. I’d already sent them £100 through my credit card, so I went ahead and froze it straight away. After that, I turned off my computer and got a call from a number based in the Indian sub-continent. They asked what was on my computer, but I told them I’d turned it off because I was suspicious. The caller then said they’d file a complaint and hung up.4 yearsHad almost the same thing happen to me - definitely don’t pick up if they call, and never give them permission to access your computer from afar.4 yearsMy PC froze up and the screen showed me this number to call.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft’s security team, but when I checked their website, it had a really obvious spelling mistake. Totally dodgy if you ask me.Microsoft4 yearsMy computer suddenly froze and a message popped up telling me to dial this number for Microsoft assistance. It also warned me not to shut down the device. I felt a bit iffy about it but decided to call anyway. The person on the other end asked if they could connect to my laptop remotely. They claimed there might be a network issue that could mess with other gadgets using the same connection. But everything seemed fine to me! I refused to give remote access and hung up straight away. Afterwards, I just closed it, restarted my laptop, ran a scan with my security software, and all was good. Total scam, in my opinion!MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (020 4520 4858)
