Reports on phone number 02922781070
4 yearsI had a similar thing happen to me. The number showed up claiming to be from Microsoft support, sounded really legit. The bloke talked me into installing some remote access software on my computer. I've since told my Mastercard provider, and they marked it as a scam. Seriously dodgy number. Best just to ignore or block it.Microsoft4 yearsMy laptop started acting up, popping up loads of windows saying it was from Microsoft. One of them had this phone number with a message like ‘call for help’. I rang the number, and the person on the other end asked me for payment and even got me to open remote access and payment screens. Definitely feels like a tech scam.Microsoft4 yearsI received a call from this number, and initially, it was just an automated message. Not long after, a gentleman with a distinct Indian accent answered. He claimed to be from the Windows support team! He proceeded to bombard me with various inquiries and, ultimately, attempted to convince me to grant him access to my computer! I can assure you, that’s not going to happen, mate! Definitely a scammer!4 yearsmicrtosoft4 yearsmy laptop screen suddenly froze with a message telling me to ring microsoft support at 02922781070. felt a bit dodgy so i didn't bother calling and just turned it off instead. fingers crossed it sorts itself when i turn it on later. here in co down, northern ireland.MicrosoftCounty DownNorthern Ireland4 yearsI ended up seeing this after I clicked on a link related to "old people and working out". It looked like some kinda Windows Defender alert or a scan showing malware was found. They wanted me to ring that number for help getting rid of the malware. But when I closed the browser suddenly, the whole warning vanished without a sign. Then I ran Malwarebytes and it didn't detect any malware at all. Seriously, avoid calling that number!4 yearsI had almost the same thing happen as someone else mentioned earlier. After clicking on a news story on my MSN feed, a pop-up showed up saying my computer was locked and my IP address was in danger. Then a robotic voice came through telling me not to try using the computer and to call a number for help. The whole thing looked legit, even had Microsoft's logo, but I knew straight away it was a con. I just rebooted my PC and everything was back to normal. Don’t fall for this trick or ring the number they give.MSNMicrosoft4 yearsI received an alarming pop-up whilst browsing online, claiming to be from the Windows Defender Security Centre. It warned that my computer was compromised and urged me not to turn it off, lest a Trojan Spyware gain access to my passwords and banking details. The message insisted that I should urgently call the number provided. I went ahead and called the number, only to be met by someone masquerading as a Windows Support technician, who then asked for remote access to my machine. Naturally, I declined and ended the conversation. To my surprise, the same person then rang me back from a 'private' number. I reiterated my suspicions that it was a scam and requested that he refrain from calling me again. After investigating, I confirmed that the number he used was not associated with genuine Windows Support. I also performed a full scan of my computer and found no malware lurking about.Windows Defender Security Centre4 yearsMy mum has recently gone through a similar ordeal with this number. Has anyone else encountered issues like having their bank accounts accessed or funds siphoned off?4 yearsMy laptop suddenly showed a pop up saying microsoft had stopped someone trying to hack my ip and to ring 02922781070 because laptop was blocked. I gave it a try but the number flagged up as spam so I ended the call straight away. Then I got a phone call from 07537 144452, some bloke saying they needed to get into my computer. When he couldn’t give me a proper address for his company, I just hung up. He phoned again but I ignored it.Microsoft4 yearsI got a pop-up on my screen saying Microsoft had locked my computer and I had to call a number for help unlocking it.

I ended up shutting my PC down, and when I turned it on again, everything was fine like nothing had happened.Microsoft4 yearsMy mum got caught out by these scammers who called from this number, saying they were with Microsoft and trying to fix a virus on her PC. They sounded really legit and even managed to get remote access plus some ID documents off her.
