Reports on phone number 08000119684
8 yearsA warning suddenly showed up on my laptop claiming it was infected with a virus. It's definitely a scam, so please don't ring the number they provide!10 yearsThese daft lot just scared people over nothing with their nonsense about computers. They've completely wrecked a kid's beloved gift.11 yearsBought my laptop on Sunday, and then last night, a pop-up appeared saying I’d got the Zeus virus and to ring a certain number. Had to wait until this morning to contact the official support linked to the laptop, where they told me to just reset the whole thing. Totally annoyed about it. It’s crazy how we still can’t fix serious things like cancer, yet these idiots keep finding ways to mess with us. Meanwhile, we managed to send men to the moon! Technology’s a real mixed bag, isn’t it?Zeus11 yearsSo I got my laptop on Sunday, and then last night this pop-up popped up saying I'd got the Zeus virus, telling me to ring a certain number. Had to hold off till this morning to actually call the official laptop helpline. They told me to just reset the whole thing. Not exactly chuffed, if I'm honest. It's mad that while we can send blokes to the moon, we still can't stop these idiots messing with our stuff - or even cure cancer! Technology’s a right mixed bag, innit?11 yearsI had some scammers pretending to be tech support call me. I ended up reporting it to AQL, which is the company providing the service.AQL11 yearsComplete rip-off, just a trash call.11 yearsSo I just got myself a brand new laptop, and out of nowhere this scary pop up appeared saying my laptop was hit by the zeus virus. Along with that, there was some creepy audio telling me to ring (0800) 011 9684 and give them a code they showed me. I reckon it all began when I was trying to set up mozilla firefox. Really appreciate everyone sharing their stories about this number, it's a big help!Zeus11 yearsBeware of this con artist! They’ll claim that your computer has been compromised, and once you grant them access, they’ll take over. If you're in need of assistance, feel free to give me a bell at 0785 805 2278 (repairs4pc.co.uk). Stay vigilant!11 yearsJust a heads up, if you look up the number it starts with +44, making you think it’s from the UK - but it actually isn’t! I haven’t received an actual call, but I keep getting these pop-ups on my computer saying I’ve got some serious virus and I should ring 0800 011 9684. Since it’s a toll free number, that’s kinda suspicious because genuine UK numbers with +44 don’t have to be toll free, so this suggests the number might be from abroad. Sometimes the pop-up even locks my screen, but I just hit ctrl+alt+delete to restart and then everything’s fine. I’ve never bothered calling, just looked it up online and found loads of complaints. Turns out it’s scammers from Asia trying to trick people who don’t know better. And just to be clear - before anyone calls me racist or whatever - I’m Asian myself!UK11 yearsI got a call with a message claiming my laptop had a virus and they kept going on about it. I checked with my son, who’s in the computer software biz, and he said it was definitely a scam. Don’t fall for it, just hang up!11 yearsThought this was a scam so I called back the number, then they told me Easy Techy could sort the problem and they said they’d control my PC from their side. They wanted me to pay £119 for the fix. I just ended the call there. Now I’m worried they might’ve got some info off my computer. I’m running a full recovery now, hoping it cleans up anything dodgy. Any advice would be really appreciated.Easy Techy11 yearsthey were asking for my personal info and phone numbers, so I just closed the tab and switched off my laptop. that seemed to stop all the nonsense.11 yearsWhile I was sorting out my taxes online, I got a call saying it was some kind of "security warning" and that I couldn't proceed unless I phoned that number first. It happened right before I was about to type in my card details. It seemed like a total scam to me. Never seen anything like this on my Mac before. Needless to say, I didn’t ring back, but I really think this should be reported to the proper authorities. - caller: 0800011968411 yearsI called the number from the Mac and got some bloke who was speaking so weird I couldn’t understand a word. Felt a bit iffy about it, so I put him on hold, but then he just ended the call. After that, I closed Safari and reopened it, and everything seemed fine again.11 yearsMy laptop flashed a message pretending to be from Mozilla Firefox saying I had a nasty virus and had to call that phone number straight away! Seeing all the other comments here just makes me sure I wasn’t imagining it and that this was definitely a scam!Mozilla11 yearsThis is a complete con, absolute rubbish. They’re just a bunch of muppets, ruining everything.11 yearsCheers for the advice. I decided to look up the number since the link they sent didn’t look like a legit Apple support site. It felt a bit dodgy. After that, I closed Safari and gave my computer a quick reboot. Everything’s working alright now.Apple11 yearsI rang this number because I’m hopeless when it comes to laptops. A woman called Sanjia Gupta picked up and asked me for my name. Then she started wanting to know how old I was and what job I did. I’m no tech expert, but surely they don’t need your work info to sort out a laptop problem? I just ended the call. Pretty sure it’s a scam.Sanjia Gupta11 yearsHonestly, it's mad how some folks still get tricked by this kind of stuff. - caller: 0800 011 968411 yearsbig thanks to the previous post for the tips. i did exactly that on my mac since it didn't really feel like a genuine call from apple - and that was without even dialing the number!Apple11 yearsCheers to the previous post for the tips. I just followed the same steps on my Mac since the call claiming to be from Apple seemed off. Didn’t even need to ring the number to suss it out!Apple11 yearsI had this happen on my Mac, and all I did was hold down shift and reopen Safari to get it sorted. When I looked up how to fix it on a Windows computer, someone said just reboot your PC using Ctrl+Alt+Delete and the message vanishes. Don’t give those scammers any money, it’s a total con!Microsoft11 yearsMy son got a new laptop for Christmas, which came with the usual 30-day free trial of McAfee antivirus. We got a call from a number that supposedly belonged to Microsoft, but it was linked to something called Easy Tech? Now the laptop’s completely locked and unusable. The person on the phone demanded £60 to unlock it, which of course we refused to pay. If anyone can help us out, it’d be really appreciated - my son’s proper annoyed he can’t use his new laptop.MicrosoftEasy Tech11 yearsMy son’s new Christmas laptop came with that usual 30 day free trial of McAfee antivirus, right? Well, we found out the call was from a Microsoft-linked number, somehow tied to Easy Tech. Now the laptop’s locked and totally unusable. The person on the line demanded £60 to unlock it. Of course we refused to pay. Any help would be amazing, as we’ve got a really upset kid who can’t get on with his new laptop. Thanks a lot!!!MicrosoftEasy Tech11 yearsI was using a Mac and just fixed it by restarting Safari while holding down the shift key. For those on Windows, someone said you can get rid of the message by hitting ctrl+alt+del and then restarting the computer. Whatever you do, don’t give those scammers a penny!!Submit Your Own Report (0800 011 9684)
