Phone number ☎️ 08000148268 👆 is reported as associated with a persistent and well-documented scam involving fraudulent claims of computer viruses, often identified as "w32.vrbat." Callers impersonate Microsoft representatives, warning victims of imminent computer damage and urging payment for unnecessary technical support services. The scammers frequently gain remote access to victims' devices, which can result in data loss, including deletion of personal files such as family photographs. Many users advise ignoring unsolicited calls or pop-up warnings, avoiding interaction with the number, and seeking reputable malware removal solutions independently. Authorities have yet to fully intercept these operations, which appear to be based overseas. Visitors should exercise caution, never grant remote access, and consult trusted cybersecurity resources if targeted.

10 yearsHey, really sorry to hear about the scammer messing with your photos - that’s absolutely awful. You might want to try this free program called “Kickass Undelete” which is open-source and can scan your drive for any recoverable files. If you haven’t saved too much new stuff since the deletion, there’s a good chance you’ll get most, if not all, of your photos back. Fingers crossed it works out for you! You can grab it here: http://kickassundelete.sourceforge.net/ - it’s free and pretty easy to use.10 yearsTotal scammer. This bloke pretended to be from Microsoft just to scare me into thinking my PC was messed up and get cash out of me. I reckon the police ought to track his number and check out whatever device he’s using! He managed to control my laptop from afar, and when I said I wasn’t paying him ’cause I knew it was a con, he just cut the call. Then, about five minutes later, he wiped over a thousand family photos from my computer remotely! Honestly, I really don’t want to have anything to do with him again.Microsoft10 yearsI got a call from 0800 014 8268 and they were saying my computer had a virus called "w32.vrbat". They act like they’re from Microsoft but it’s a total scam. They even have that dodgy site http://deuterostomatous.help. Don’t fall for their pop ups or calls, it’s all made up to trick you. Just ignore it!Microsoft10 yearsBeen around since 2006, this India-based scam outfit really puzzles me how they’re still running. They ring up pretending to represent various marketing firms, could even be the same caller each time, who’s to say. Do yourself a solid and avoid picking up when they call. Cheers!10 yearsGot this alert saying Microsoft had found a virus on my PC and that it’d crash in an hour if I didn’t act. The message even had my email and wanted me to verify it with some 4 digit code - obviously a con. I ran a free scan with Malwarebytes just to be safe and it cleared everything. Don’t fall for it!Microsoft10 yearsMy daughter saw that exact message pop up on her laptop and freaked out, so she tried calling the number straight away. I looked it up here first and told her to just save everything important and restart the computer. Everything was fine - no explosion warning after an hour or anything like that. Really grateful for all the advice on here, cheers!10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they’d fix a virus on my computer for a small charge. I just said no and ended the call. PhilPhil10 years£100 for a "virus fix"? Ridiculous! My computer popped up with some warning about a "virus w32.vrbat" that would supposedly activate in over an hour. I didn't believe any of it, but I called the number anyway just to see what they'd say. At one point, they got me to type a command into CMD - usually, commands like "del system32" can mess your whole system up, but instead, they had me open Run and type "iexplore www.support.me". It opened some old-looking site in Internet Explorer. The guy then gave me a six-digit code to enter, meant to let him control my virtual machine remotely. But rather than go along with it, I asked him flat out if he was scamming people. He denied it, claiming "I do not", but I told him "Yes you do", and we ended up shouting back and forth so loud you could hear it in the background. Then he hung up on me. Seriously, don’t pick up if this number calls you!10 yearsA couple years back, I fell for one of those fake virus alerts on my PC claiming it was from Microsoft and telling me to ring a number. Now I never pick up the landline if the number’s unfamiliar or if some pop-up flashes up warning of a virus. They say your computer will break down in an hour and some minutes or whatever rubbish, but it’s all just a scam. My rule now is to just completely IGNORE any of those sort of calls or messages. Definitely tell others to be wary too.Microsoft10 yearsThis bloke called himself Steve Smith and said he worked for some company named msc.technoristal, claiming they partner with Windows but not Microsoft. His accent was definitely from India or Pakistan, and I could hear more voices in the background like there was a whole team. Stupidly, I let him into my computer since it all sounded believable at first. I started getting suspicious when he brought up money - no honest tech person would do that. I cut the call, removed a trojan I found on my machine, and updated all my important passwords. Still feeling uneasy about what info they might’ve grabbed while messing with my PC.Steve SmithWindowsMicrosoft10 yearsThis is a total scam! You get a popup on your screen pretending to be from Microsoft, warning you that your PC is infected with a nasty virus (w32.vrbat) and will be wrecked within an hour. Don’t ring the number they show. They just want to sell you fake antivirus software and claim they can fix your “infected” IP address. They’ll also ask to take over your computer and then demand you pay over £400 to sort it all out. Better to use your mobile or another gadget to search for legit ways to get rid of the malware instead.Microsoft10 yearsWarning: Possible computer virus detected! You should ring this number right away.Submit Your Own Report (0800 014 8268)
