02081543409 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02081543409 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam involving fake Microsoft security alerts that lock computers and prompt victims to call the number. Callers are pressured to grant remote access, resulting in potential theft of sensitive data and demands for payment, often under threat of hacking or identity theft. The phone line is frequently answered by individuals with foreign accents who claim to be Microsoft technicians but display rude or evasive behaviour when questioned. Users report freezing screens, loud alarms, and fake warnings that prevent normal computer use. The consensus advises to immediately shut down and restart the device, avoid interacting with pop-ups, never grant remote access, and verify any alerts independently. This number is firmly identified as malicious, targeting vulnerable users with sophisticated, convincing tactics.

Mine popped up on my screen too, saying something about my computer being hacked, just like all the other ones I've seen!

My laptop suddenly locked up and a message popped on the screen telling me to ring a certain number. I suspected it was some kind of scam straight away, so I just turned off the computer and switched it back on again.

So basically my laptop warned me about some Trojan virus and I ended up phoning them. I let them get into my system but then I caught on and quickly swapped the password before hanging up and shutting the screen down.

One of the staff was doing a quiz when suddenly a voice blared telling him to halt everything because his computer was supposedly locked. They asked him to call a certain number. When he called, they managed to get control of his computer to "fix" the lock. No idea what dodgy stuff they might have put on it. After all this, he ran Norton antivirus to try and sort things out.

I rang the number and some bloke with a weird accent picked up, kept cutting me off and firing questions at me. Got proper rude when I said he was trying to scam me. Luckily I sorted it out on my own in the end.

So my husband got locked out of his computer and it kept showing this number to call. We figured out pretty quickly it was a scam and decided not to ring it.

Got a nonstop recorded message saying it was Microsoft Defender telling me to ring a certain number immediately to unlock my PC. Totally dodgy! I just hit Alt Ctrl Delete and shut my computer down safely. After that, I restarted it and everything was fine. Definitely don't call that number!

My computer suddenly hung, and a message popped up telling me to call the Windows Defender support straight away at a certain number. Being cautious, I googled the helpline first and found a totally different phone number, which led me here. I ended up switching off my PC completely, then restarted it and ran a CCleaner scan. Everything looks okay now, but I’m still a bit uneasy about how that dodgy stuff got in in the first place!

Totally a scam, got a call saying my PC was locked and to fix it I had to ring 0208 1543409. Luckily, Norton helped me out. The weirdest bit was my computer wouldn't even let me shut the window down, so I had to restart the whole thing!

had another call from some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft, honestly feels so bad how they try to trick folks into giving away their savings. It’s not just about the cash, it’s the way they make people feel like idiots or worthless which is just awful. BT really ought to do more to crack down on these fake websites and protect people from this kinda thing.

While my hubby was catching up with the news on his laptop, it just suddenly kicked him out. He’s got security programs installed, but for some reason, nothing flagged this. Strange, right?

There was this sketchy website warning about a possible Russian hack after I kept searching certain stuff online. I got a bit worried and rang up my bank and card companies just to be safe. They told me to watch out and keep an eye on my accounts.

My laptop suddenly locked up after I called a number from a supposed security warning. They claimed to be from Microsoft and said they needed to access my computer to sort it out. I’m pretty sure it was a scam though, so I didn’t let them in.

They claimed to be from Microsoft saying my laptop was infected with a virus. They told me to call 02081543409, which they called their Microsoft support line. I looked up the number and quickly realised it was a scam. After reading a few of the reviews, I just closed the window. Then I ran my own virus scan and everything turned out fine.

I found the number 02081543409 showing up on my laptop, supposedly from some Microsoft support line for my computer. My laptop screen had loads of pop-ups covering it, stopping me from getting in. My partner tried calling the number and asked who was speaking but the person on the phone mumbled something weird and it was hard to understand. When he asked where they were calling from, the bloke just told him to basically get lost! Seriously, don’t ever let anyone connected to this number get into your computer, they’ll probably nick all your personal info!

Really pleased I looked this site up, I was almost certain it was a con and well annoyed cause it locked up my laptop. Managed to get out of it, rebooted my computer, and everything seemed fine afterwards. Shame they don’t use their obvious tech smarts for something legit instead.

My laptop suddenly froze and a pop-up popped up claiming to be from the Windows Defender Security Centre, saying my machine was locked because my IP was used to access sites with identity theft viruses. It told me to ring a support number to get it unlocked.

On the screen, it displayed:
App: Ads.fiancetrack(2).doll
Threat Detected: Trojan Spyware

Thought I’d share so others may spot this scam.

Number 020 8154 3409 is linked to a scam I came across after opening a story on Microsoft Edge. It tried to make me believe it was Microsoft warning me my computer had a trojan virus and had to be locked for safety. What really happened was the article went into full screen mode and the only things you can click are the popup boxes. Don’t press any buttons, just press 'Esc' and shut the browser tab. If you didn’t click, your PC should be fine, no damage done.

My computer showed a blocked message and told me to call the number on the screen. A man answered and said hackers were after me. He wanted me to pay £199 for some kind of protection. My wife looked up the number and found out it was a bank scam. He didn't ask for my bank details, just my debit card info. When I asked for his name, he said “Frank” but gave no other info. I told him he was a scammer and ended the call. After that, my computer was fine again.

I use an Apple iPad and I’m not very good with computers as I’m 82 years old. Suddenly, a message popped up on my screen saying “Apple Platform Security” and it told me to call Apple Support at 020-8154-3409. I reckon it’s a scam because there’s also a voice telling me my device is locked. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of that message and the voice alert?

I got a dodgy pop-up on Microsoft Edge saying my PC was locked and I had to pay £700 to fix some spyware. They called themselves Microtech and wanted to get into my computer, but it felt fishy so I didn’t go along with it. Definitely a scam trying to trick people into giving them money!

My computer just froze up and the mouse stopped working. Suddenly, a warning popped up saying I had a TROJAN? and told me to call this number. It also said I shouldn’t turn my PC off, but I went ahead and switched it off anyway. After leaving it off for about an hour and a half, I turned it back on and everything was fine! Honestly, don’t bother calling that number - it’s just a scam trying to take your money!

My wife’s laptop suddenly showed this number claiming it had been locked due to a virus. Even after she restarted it, the message wouldn’t go away. They said it was infected with a trojan and had to be shut down. I knew it was dodgy when they told her to “call toll free” - that’s not how we say it here in the UK! You’d think these scammers from Nigeria might learn proper English by now!

My laptop suddenly showed a warning about a Trojan virus, locking the screen and instructing me to call a specific number saying it was from Windows. The person on the line was really polite and seemed to fix loads of stuff, but when he asked for payment, alarm bells rang and I contacted my bank straight away to stop any transactions. It’s a pretty clever scam and caught me off guard, honestly quite hard to spot if you’re not expecting it. I also tried to reach out to actual Windows support afterwards, but didn’t get any useful assistance there.

Today, 16/09/2022, I got a message pop up on my computer saying it was locked. It told me to ring 02081543409 because they claimed to be from Microsoft and asked for my name. They said someone would call back and guide me through fixing the 'infection' on my PC. I knew instantly it was a scam. I just closed every window, turned the computer off, then restarted it, and the message was gone. After that, I ran a full scan and checked my antivirus was still up and running properly. Don’t fall for these hackers trying to access your info. Keep safe, everyone!

Got a call on my PC with someone yelling that my computer was locked and telling me to ring this number straight away! Thankfully, my clever ‘tech guy’ told me to hang up instantly. I’ve since checked this number out and it’s definitely a scam! Best thing to do is just shut down your computer for a bit and then switch it back on. Hopefully that’s useful for anyone else!

My computer got stuck after a message popped up saying it was from Windows Defender and asked me to call this number. When I rang, the person on the other end talked me into buying some kind of anti-virus and malware protection for my network. It sounded legit at first, but then I asked a mate who's better with tech and he told me it was dodgy. I looked up the number online and sure enough, it's a total scam!

It told me I needed to ring a number to speak to a technician who could fix it. I didn’t like the sound of it, so I looked up that phone number on another phone and quickly found out it was a scam.

They warned I was in danger and shouldn't turn off my PC but call straight away. Luckily, I know a bit about tech and managed to get out of it without giving them access. Total SCAM. If I'd let them in, they wanted £349 - what a costly ripoff! I've already reported it.
