02045205156 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02045205156 👆 is reported as a well-known technical support scam associated with fake Microsoft or HMRC alerts. Callers claim your computer is infected or locked, urging you to contact them for expensive virus removal. They often request remote access, installing harmful software or demanding hundreds of pounds to fix bogus issues. Affected individuals report unclosable pop-ups, fake virus warnings, and pressure to pay for non-existent services. The best advice is to ignore such messages, avoid calling the number, close browser windows, and run a trusted antivirus scan independently. No genuine alert would insist on immediate phone contact or remote access, and ignoring these scams usually causes no harm. Users experiencing issues after interaction should seek professional IT support promptly.

Got a call from someone saying they're from HMRC, but it definitely didn’t sound right. They kept pushing about some tax stuff and wanted details I wasn’t comfortable sharing. Seemed like a classic scam pretending to be Revenue Customs. Always makes me wary when they claim to be official like that.

I got a pop-up on my PC saying I had a trojan virus and to ring 02045205156 for help. It claimed to be some kind of Microsoft support. I was a bit iffy about calling but went ahead anyway. The bloke on the line, with an Indian accent, gave me a code that let him access my computer remotely. After that, he asked me for £300 to sort it out, which I refused. Now, I can’t even get online and I’m worried about what damage might be done and how much it’s going to cost to get it fixed.

Beware of this scam claiming to be from Microsoft! It's designed to intimidate and cause unnecessary fear. Make a note of the phone number, hit the escape key, and run a comprehensive scan on your computer or laptop. Don't forget to inform others about your experience by leaving a report here!

02045205156 rang me claiming my computer was infected with a trojan virus. It looked like it was from Microsoft at first, so I went along with it. They gave me a code to enter, and after that, the call suddenly ended - without me hanging up. At the same time, McAfee antivirus popped up on my screen too.

A call came through to my workplace today from this number, claiming that our laptop had some sort of virus and insisted that we fork out £300 for their so-called technical help to cleanse the alleged virus supposedly linked to our internet connection. It’s utterly outrageous and has genuinely unsettled one of my colleagues.

Seems like I've encountered a dodgy call claiming to be from Microsoft, but my computer's totally fine and there's no need for any panic button here. Absolutely ridiculous scammers trying to pull a fast one! Just make sure to run a virus check on your machine, but I'm certain it's all safe.

My laptop suddenly showed a popup that wouldnt go away, said I was locked out and warned me not to switch off or reboot my computer. It had a phone number for "Windows Defender Support" to call. I ended up just restarting it anyway and everything was alright. Pretty sure that number's a scam.

Looks like one of those tech support scams to me.
