08000418432 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number βοΈ 08000418432 π is reported as a sophisticated scam targeting individuals attempting to install or activate antivirus software like McAfee or Norton. Callers impersonate technical support, claiming the userβs device is infected or missing a firewall, then attempt to sell costly, unnecessary security packages. They often gain remote access to computers, raising significant risks of data theft or malware installation. Reports highlight calls occurring soon after users encounter error messages during software setup. Victims are advised never to provide remote access or bank details, to verify official contacts directly with the genuine software provider, and to report incidents to Action Fraud. Blocking these numbers and conducting full system scans after such interactions is recommended. The scam preys heavily on the vulnerable, including the elderly, and demands cautious vigilance.

5 yearsScam calls pretending to be tech support, definitely.6 yearsSo I bought McAfee for my computer off digitaltec and got the code, but it wouldn’t actually let me download the software. I jumped onto their live chat for help and soon after, somebody rang me up. This bloke kept going on about some issues with my firewall and then started pushing me to buy a firewall package for like 99 or 139 quid. It just felt a bit dodgy, so I ended the call pretty quickly.DigitalTec6 yearsI really hope the person who shared this scam made sure their mum’s computer was properly scanned for any viruses or malware. It’s important to get that sorted. Also, they should’ve reported the scam to Action Fraud so the police can keep track of these things. Details are on their website.Action Fraud6 yearsMy mum’s laptop wasn’t working right the other day, and when she turned it on, a message popped up asking her to ring 02086380887 to fix the issue. She called, and ended up speaking with a guy called ‘David’ for about half an hour, who was trying to talk her through the problem. Still, the computer’s no better now. It’s upsetting how cruel some people are, preying on older folks like that.David6 yearsTied to a dodgy McAfee activation (software key).6 yearsWas in the middle of setting up Norton when the phone rang. The person on the other end claimed there was some kind of issue and asked if they could remotely access my PC to fix it. As soon as I heard the bloke’s voice, I called it straight out as a scam, especially since it was 2am! Never got another call from them after that. Seriously, watch out for these dodgy calls. They rang my mobile from the number 08000418432.Norton6 yearsI got a call on my mobile from 08000418432 while I was in the middle of setting up Norton. The person said there was an issue and wanted to remote into my computer to fix it. The moment I heard his voice at around 2am, I told him straight away it was a scam and hung up. Luckily, I haven’t heard from them since. This is a proper dodgy scam, so watch out if you get a call from that number!Norton6 yearsI got a call from 08000418432 while I was in the middle of setting up Norton. The person on the line said there was some issue and wanted to remotely access my PC to fix it. As soon as I realised what was going on, I told them straight away it was a scam. It was about 2am, which made it even more suspicious. Thankfully, I haven't had any more calls from them since. Proper dodgy scam, so watch out if this number rings you on your mobile.Norton6 yearsI got a call on my mobile from 08000418432 while I was setting up Norton. The person said there was some sort of issue and asked if they could control my computer to fix it. The moment I recognised the voice, I immediately told them it was a scam and hung up. It was about 2 am! Thankfully, they never called back. Really dodgy scam, so watch out if you get a call from that number.6 yearsI was in the middle of setting up Norton when my phone rang. The caller claimed there was an issue and wanted to control my computer to fix it. The moment I recognised the voice, I yelled "scam!" into the phone. It was about 2 am, and thankfully, they never called back. This is a risky con, so watch out!Norton6 yearsGot a call from this number while I was setting up Norton, they said there was an issue and wanted to control my PC to fix it. The moment I recognised it was a load of rubbish, I told them off straight away - it was like 2am! Haven't had any calls from them since. Proper dodgy scam, watch out. They rang me on my mobile, the number was 08000418432.Norton6 yearsI got a call on my mobile from 08000418432 while I was setting up Norton. They told me there was some issue and wanted to access my computer to fix it. As soon as I heard the bloke's voice, I shouted at him, telling him it was a scam - it was about 2am! I never got a call back from them. Honestly, it’s a dodgy scam, so watch out if you get a ring from 08000418432.Norton6 yearsI got a call on my mobile from 08000418432 right when I was trying to set up Norton. The person said there was an issue and asked if they could remote into my computer to fix it. As soon as I heard him, I shouted and told them it was a scam, especially since it was 2am! Thankfully, I’ve not heard back since. Honestly, this number is linked to a pretty dodgy scam, so be careful if you get a call from 08000418432.Norton6 yearsI was in the middle of setting up Norton when my phone rang. The person on the other end claimed there was an issue and asked if they could access my computer to fix it. The moment I heard him, I told him off straight away, it was about 2am! Never got any more calls from them after that. Definitely a dodgy scam, so watch out. They phoned me on my mobile and the number shown was 08000418432.Norton6 yearsSo, I got a call on my mobile from 08000418432 while I was trying to set up Norton. The person on the other end claimed there was an issue and wanted remote access to fix it. As soon as I realised it was a total scam, I told them off loudly - it was about 2 am! Luckily, I never got another call from them again. Honestly, this feels like a dangerous scam, so watch out if this number rings you.Norton6 yearsGot a call while I was setting up Norton, some bloke said there was an issue and asked if he could control my PC to fix it. The moment I heard him, I just yelled "scammer!" into the phone. It was like 2am or something. Haven't had a peep from them since. Proper dodgy scam, watch out!Norton6 yearsI ran into trouble installing McAfee on my laptop; it threw an error message. I reached out through their chat support and they quickly phoned me, telling me my laptop was infected with a Trojan. They offered to put in an additional firewall but wanted £129 for three years. I told them I could only manage £59 and didn’t have my card at the time. They’ve called me several times since though I’ve blocked their number now. It feels like some kind of scam linked to McAfee to squeeze more cash, as they keep ringing from different numbers.McAfee6 yearsI ran into trouble when trying to set up McAfee on my laptop, kept getting an error message. I reached out to their chat support, and almost straight away, they phoned me saying my laptop had a Trojan. Then they offered to put in an extra firewall for £129 covering 3 years. I told them I couldn’t afford that much, could only do £59, but didn’t have my card on me at the time. They’ve been ringing back since, but I’ve blocked their numbers now. Feels like a dodgy trick by McAfee to make a quick buck. They keep popping up calling from different phone numbers too.McAfee6 yearsRight after I tried setting up McAfee on my phone, I got this annoying error message. Then, some bloke called me pretending to be from McAfee, asking for details that just appeared on my screen and if I wanted assistance. The guy's voice sounded dodgy and there was a lot of background noise like he wasn't in a proper office or anything. I quickly figured it was a scam and ended the call straight away, then blocked his number to be safe.McAfee6 yearsI got a call from 08000418432, and it reminded me of other stories I’ve heard. I was just trying to update Norton when suddenly this error message popped up. The person on the phone started chatting about Trojans and firewalls, then offered to “sort it out” by setting up a firewall for £129 covering three years! That’s when I got suspicious, declined, and ended the call. Now I’m left wondering - was this just a sales scam, or could they’ve actually got into my computer to steal info?Norton6 yearsI was setting up McAfee Total Protection and after hitting the activate button, an error message appeared telling me to call 0800 0418432. I thought I'd wait a bit before trying again. Within five minutes, I got a call on my mobile from someone claiming to be McAfee support, offering to help me activate the software. While I was on the call, a warning from TalkTalk suddenly popped up, saying this was a scam. When the guy asked what was on my screen, I told him about the warning, thanked him, and ended the call straight away.McAfeeTalkTalk6 yearsJust like what others have said, this scam is really clever 'cause it looks just like the legit site. I was lucky to notice something was off before I went and did anything stupid.6 yearsI had this number ring me a couple of times and I didn’t pick up, so no clue what it was all about. Best thing I did was just block it straight away! Would recomend doing the same to be on the safe side.6 yearsI was trying to set up Norton Antivirus when I got a call out of nowhere. Just a heads up, the site looks almost identical to the genuine one, so watch out!Norton Antivirus6 yearsDon't forget to beef up the security on your email since you ended up typing it out.6 yearsI actually wrote the previous two comments, but I wanted to add something else. After you block these numbers, you should double check they can’t still get into your voicemail. They left a message and I have no idea what was said, so I just ended up deleting it straight away.6 yearsHello there! I encountered a similar problem recently when I was attempting to activate my McAfee software. I was prompted to purchase additional firewall services, which struck me as rather peculiar. It seems to me that McAfee ought to bolster their website's security. We should definitely take extra precautions to ensure we’re accessing the genuine McAfee site, just to be on the safe side!McAfee6 yearsFunny thing happened earlier today, I got a pop-up that looked exactly like the McAfee site. Right after, some bloke called me about the error. Didn’t even suspect it was dodgy at first. Later on, I contacted McAfee directly, and they did a complete scan on my computer and removed some apps that had sneaked in. I never handed over any cash or my card info, so all good in the end.McAfee6 yearsReally sneaky scam this one, they show you a Norton looking webpage that looks legit and give you a number like above, claiming to offer firewall plus free antivirus if you pick 3 or 5 year plans. Took me ages but I finally managed to report it to Norton, which wasn’t easy at all. They’re pretending to be real companies so be careful. Always call the providers yourself and never let these scammers get access to your computer!Norton6 yearsThey called right after trying to get me to install some dodgy anti-virus software, but it didn’t work. Totally a scam - best just ignore the call!6 yearsJust as I was installing Norton on my new laptop, I got a call from this number. The caller claimed there was a problem because I supposedly hadn't downloaded Norton properly. He then started pushing me to purchase some kind of firewall. I had a bad feeling about it, so I ended the call straight away.Norton6 yearsI encountered quite the hassle when trying to download my Microsoft Office 365 product key. An error popped up, and shortly after, I received a call claiming there was a problem with my firewall, which they said would set me back £156 to fix. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!6 yearsIts really awful how these fake websites ruin people´s trust when they just trying to stay safe online. Its so wrong to trick innocent folks who just wanna keep away from crooks like that. They should be shut down for good.6 yearsThis morning I got a call about updating my firewall, told them I'd ring back at six. Come six, they called me twice more during the afternoon, I kept saying six again. Then from half past five to quarter to six, they called me five times! Left a voicemail but I just ignored it and ended up blocking the number. Proper annoyance.6 yearsToday I got a call about updating my McAfee install. They said my computer had a trojan and I had to pay for some kind of network security. Looking back, I can't believe I was daft enough to let them get remote access to my PC. Definitely a scam, so watch out for this!6 yearsJust like others have said, I got a call after trying to put mcafee on my laptop. They claimed there was a bad file and insisted on setting up a firewall. They took control of my PC, but somehow it felt dodgy, so I ended the call. They tried to ring me again but I ignored it. Now I’m a bit scared to even switch on my laptop!McAfee6 yearsHad the exact same problem as everyone else here - I was about to install McAfee security on my brand new laptop. It looked super legit until a mate of mine, who’s into computers, sent me a txt with some info. While he was poking around my laptop trying to sort it out, I read what he sent. Switched the thing off straight after that and got in touch with the actual McAfee support. They guided me to do a full factory reset. Honestly, was THIS close to a total mess.McAfee6 yearsFake call!6 yearsBE WARNED: THESE NUMBERS HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH MCAFEE OR ANY REPUTABLE SECURITY COMPANY. STEER CLEAR OF THEM!MCAFEE6 yearsJust like I've read in other posts, I believed I was dealing with the McAfee support team. I allowed them to access my PC remotely and even shared my email and address with them. When I ended the remote session, they called back and sounded really annoyed.McAfee6 yearsGlad I didn’t pick up those random numbers after reading what people said here. Best to just ignore calls from unknowns.6 years+44 8000418432 Got a call thinking it was McAfee but turns out it wasnt. They said my computer was infected with a virus and that I had to get a firewall installed. Total scam!McAfee6 yearsI had the impression I was chatting with the McAfee support team on the phone.McAfee6 yearsGot a call from 08000418432, they said my security was out of date and tried to get access to my computer. Seemed like a scam to steal money. Best to stay clear of them!6 yearsGot called by some dodgy website pretending to be from Microsoft, said my router was infected and tried to sell me antivirus for £90. Of course, after they had my card info. I’ve reported it to the police now.Microsoft6 yearsI was trying to set up Norton Security and the screen popped up telling me to call this number for help with the installation. When I phoned, they said I had to download this GoToAssist software so they could access my computer remotely to figure out the issue. But as soon as I asked why they wanted control of my PC, they suddenly hung up. I called back to check if it was a mistake, and again, when I mentioned my concerns about them accessing my computer, they dropped the call. I ended up shutting everything down and deleting GoToAssist. Honestly, felt pretty uneasy about the whole thing!6 yearsI got a call from a number after trying to fix an activation error, thinking it was the real McAfee support chat. Luckily I didn't pick up the phone. After seeing what others have said here, I reckon it was probably a scam.McAfee6 yearsI've received a few phone calls lately claiming that my McAfee antivirus subscription is about to expire. They mentioned sending me an email, but I've recently changed my email address. I'm certain that I've already updated my McAfee account info, so I suspect these calls are not legitimate. Just thought I’d share this - the number they're using is 0800 041 8432.McAfee7 yearsSome bloke called claiming he was from McAfee support. He already had all my info and told me there was an issue with my firewall.McAfee Help DeskFirewall7 yearsIt’s a scam call. When you’re installing software from online sites, always double check you’ve typed the full and exact website URL in the browser’s address field, not just searched for it. That usually helps avoid this kinda trouble. If you still run into issues, check the suggestions in the post above for help.7 yearsI'd say don't answer any calls coming from that number, it's best to ignore them altogether.7 yearsI experienced something similar when I tried to get McAfee total protection. These people called me and somehow got access to my PC. They then asked me to pay for a firewall, which made me hang up straight away and call my bank. It was a nightmare, took me around two hours on the phone to get everything sorted with McAfee.McAfee7 yearsJust like a lot of others, I was trying to set up a McAfee code and somehow got connected to this number when I asked for support. They wanted me to pay £200 for a programme, claiming it was necessary to fix an issue before I could complete the installation. I said no thank you and hung up. In the end, I found some help on the McAfee community forum and sorted everything out there.7 yearsWARNING!! Total ripoff!! Watch out everyone for these filthy scammers!! I got a McAfee card off Amazon and when I tried to activate it, it began loading but then gave an error. Suddenly my phone was buzzing and a live chat popped up on my laptop, both said they were from McAfee and wanted to assist me. But trust me, it's a complete scam!! Stay well clear of this nonsense!!Amazon7 yearsI didn’t pick up the call but after reading the comments here, it made me wary. I was trying to buy McAfee from Amazon using a download code and something felt off, so I looked it up. Honestly, NEVER let anyone take control of your computer remotely, it’s risky. My husband accidentally clicked a dodgy link that looked like McAfee but wasn’t, and it led to problems. I made sure to install the antivirus from the official site only. If you see that number pop up, just know you’re probably dealing with a shady site.McAfeeAmazon7 yearsI was attempting to get McAfee running on a different computer but it wouldn’t install properly. So, I looked up what I believed was McAfee’s support and they asked if they could access my computer remotely. I said yes, but then they started telling me I didn’t have any firewall set up on any of my gadgets. That set alarm bells ringing cause I'd literally just installed McAfee with firewall on one of my devices. I ended the call straight away and turned my laptop off. Honestly, they were quite smooth with their approach.7 yearsDodgy call from that number! They rang me up and tried to get me to let them access my computer, which felt dodgy right away. I rang McAfee support to check if that was legit, turns out it was a scam. They mentioned a fake website that looks like the official one and if you enter your product code, 'support' just appears. They told me to unplug my computer for an hour before I gave installing anything another go.McAfee7 yearsI naively went onto the McAfee site and a live chat popped up asking me to share my phone number for help, so I gave it to them. They got access to my computer, and only later did I figure out they wanted cash and kept asking about what I use my laptop for. I nicely said I couldn’t afford anything, trying to be polite, but realised after that they were definitely scammers. Now I’ve reset my laptop and changed all my passwords, especially for my bank. Stay cautious, everyone!McAfee7 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be online support when I was struggling with my McAfee install. They said there was a "virus" on my computer and even tried to take over my PC. Something felt fishy, so I ended the session straight away. Then, out of nowhere, they rang me three times late at night! Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.7 yearsI got McAfee internet security and they told me my computer was full of bugs, wanted me to pay loads to fix it. When I said I’d think about it, they just hung up and locked me out of my laptop. Now I can't use it at all unless I pay McAfee to unlock it again. Feels like a total scam, like they’re holding my laptop hostage. Seriously, don’t bother with McAfee, they’ve taken over my computer and it’s a nightmare.McAfee7 yearsI’ve come across this number linked to Zone Alarm by Check Point. If you're facing any hiccups with installing McAfee security on your computer, you might receive an unsolicited call from them insisting that you require their firewall to successfully complete the installation. It seems there’s a possible partnership between them and McAfee. I trust this information proves useful to someone out there! - caller: Zone Alarm7 yearsGot a call that just ended the moment I picked up, total spam!7 yearsI got a call from this number when I was sure I was dealing with Microsoft Office support. Turns out it was a total scam! They asked for my credit card info to supposedly pay for a firewall so I could install Office. In the end, I had to reset my laptop back to factory settings because they somehow accessed it remotely. Never again!Microsoft OfficeOffice7 yearsA little while after I got a failed McAfee install, this number called me like 10 minutes later. Before, someone had told me I had an Asprox botnet on my network too. Both calls felt pretty dodgy to me.7 yearssupposedly from microsoft tech support. i was trying to activate something and got an error message that had this phone number for help. weirdly, they already knew my name, phone, email, and the product key. they took control of my computer remotely, but things got dodgy when they started quizzing me about what i use my computer for and if there’s anyone good with tech at home. they put an app called go assist on my pc, which i’ve since uninstalled.Microsoft7 yearsSomebody rang me saying they were from McAfee antivirus, but I’m pretty sure it was a scam.McAfee7 yearsWeird thing happened, this number just called me and after reading the comments here, it makes me think twice. I only put Norton on my laptop like half an hour ago, and then suddenly this call comes through. I didn’t pick up and no voicemail or anything was left. Does it seem like this caller might be linked to Norton somehow?Norton7 yearsThey claimed to be from Norton, said they ran a test on my computer and found some sort of botnet infection that my newly bought Norton couldn’t get rid of. Then, strangely enough, they offered to sell me a removal tool along with three more years of Norton antivirus for £159. When I mentioned I couldn’t pay that much, they knocked £20 off the price. After I said I’d think about it and get back later, the ‘engineer’ started insulting me, saying I was daft for not buying straight away and maybe a bit too thick to understand.Norton7 yearsI received a call claiming to be from McAfee, but I’ve got my suspicions. They kept up the charade for quite a while, and I can’t help but worry I might end up regretting it. Beware of this number: 44800 041 8432!McAfeeSubmit Your Own Report (0800 041 8432)
