Just got a call from this number, claiming to be about a PPI refund with someone called Hamilton Fox. Definitely sounds like a phishing scam to me. Watch out!

Somebody rang me saying I was owed ppi on a loan or a credit card from Barclays Bank around 2002 or 2003. They had my name and phone number which was a bit suspicious. I've never actually had anything with Barclays. I told them that and they just cut me off. NUMBER GOT BLOCKED STRAIGHT AWAY.

15 MAY 2018; Thankfully, I rang a mate before anything else and then looked up some info online through another laptop. Turns out it was a scam. I shut down the page using SYSTEM MANAGER and then ran a virus scan.

Best not to pick up when they ring, they say there’s a virus and pretend to be from Microsoft. They’ll scare ya into calling their number. If you’re worried about a virus, just see a proper tech expert, they’ll sort it for way less than these scammers want.

Total scam alert, I rang the number after seeing a warning pop up on my laptop. The guy on the phone kept going on about how dangerous Malware was and after about 20 minutes he started pushing this firewall software that would supposedly protect my devices for life for £449.99. That's when I pulled back and got suspicious, but I’d already let him access my PC, daft as I was. Luckily, he just ended the remote session and left me alone, so no harm done. Just be careful, don’t let anyone else get caught out like I did.

I encountered a right dodgy scammer! I rang the number after being lured in by a pop-up on my laptop, only to find myself on the phone with a bloke who kept banging on about how dire the malware situation is. After a good twenty minutes of his chatter, he suddenly mentioned a hefty price tag of £449.99 for some so-called lifetime firewall software to safeguard my devices. That’s when the alarm bells went off, and I realised I needed to cut my losses. I foolishly allowed him to gain control of my computer, but thankfully, he simply cancelled the sharing app when I mentioned I'd take care of it myself. It all turned out to be harmless in the end, but I really hope others don’t fall for this trap like I nearly did!

08000148581 is just one of those pop-up scams, make sure to run your antivirus and do a quick clean on your phone. It'll get rid of it for now but it might pop up again, so just keep cleaning regularly.

Total con artist! I rang up after seeing a warning on my laptop screen, and the guy on the line kept going on about how dangerous Malware is. After about 20 minutes, he started pressuring me to pay £449.99 for some firewall software that supposedly protects my devices forever. That’s when I stopped and caught on. I had foolishly let him access my PC, but thankfully he just closed the app and left without doing anything nasty. Just watch out so others don’t fall for the same trick I almost did!

Was searching for the Star Wars movie on my laptop when a warning popped up saying my laptop had a serious virus. It told me to ring this number, claiming it was from Microsoft, to help remove the virus or else I'd lose my bank details and photos and stuff. I didn’t ring them though.

Really grateful for this site. Without it, we might've just phoned the number but luckily we searched from our mobile first and saw the alerts from others saying it's a scam. We ended up restarting the laptop, wiped the history and ran a security scan with our antivirus, which luckily didn’t pick up anything. Big thanks to everyone who shared their experiences here!

I accidentally called this number and some Asian guy started listing all the issues I supposedly had and what he'd do to fix them. Then he asked for £285.66. I got really suspicious and told him I couldn’t pay that much. He then said “just pay what you can manage, we’ll sort the rest later.” Honestly, steer clear and don’t bother calling these folks!

DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER!!! It’s a total scam. I foolishly called after someone said my laptop had a virus and there was a guy talking nonstop on it. Some Asian bloke answered sounding like he didn’t give a damn. He walked me through some steps then suddenly had control of my laptop! Then he said I had to pay £300 for some kind of protection software, which I said no to because it felt dodgy. But by then they’d already changed my password and now I’m locked out of my own laptop. Absolute crooks!!!

A warning showed up on my laptop claiming someone was trying to steal my bank info and told me to call a certain number. When I called, the person said my laptop had a virus, but I didn’t buy it since it’s brand new. I asked him for his full name, and he couldn’t give one, saying he didn’t have one. At that point, I realised this was probably a scam. Sadly, I already let him control my laptop and now I really regret it.

0800 014 8581 I found this number when I was looking up cruelty free perfumes, then suddenly a warning appeared saying my computer was at risk and I needed to ring this number. I used my mobile phone (not my landline) to call, and some Asian guy picked up, sounding really uninterested and unprofessional. He said he was from 'IT Support', which seemed sketchy right away, no proper intro or anything. Absolutely DO NOT share any info with them!!

I actually called back and got super frustrated, didn’t even understand what was happening at first. Since my laptop was brand new, I got pretty anxious when the guy managed to get into it, but I quickly cut him off and ran a virus check. It’s a shame, cos some scammers from India are making the whole country look bad.

Whenever I use Google, after a bit I start getting loads of annoying pop ups, then this creepy voice says my PC is infected and my info’s being stolen. It tells me to ring this free number 08000148581 and mention code 268d3. Apparently, if I don’t call right away, they’ll shut my computer down. I looked up the number on another laptop and turns out it’s a scam. How do I get rid of these muppets for good?
