2 yearsGot a call from this number saying they were from Zone firewall. First, they sent me an email asking for £245.95, saying my subscription fee was overdue and they’d debit it from my bank in 24 hours. I checked with my bank and they told me there was no such payment waiting or any subscription with them. Then the same number phoned me the next day claiming I needed to hand over £69.99 to cancel my subscription. The thing is, I've never had any subscription with these guys - I’m with Norton, not them. Total scam.ZoneNorton6 yearsToday, this number 08000418978 called me but I missed it and it went straight to voicemail. Nothing was left in the message though. After reading the reviews about this number, I decided to block it and get rid of the missed call from my history.6 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. Couldn't quite make out who was on the other end or what they were after apart from asking me my name. Ended the call pretty quickly after that. After reading some reviews here, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.6 yearsI’ve gone and blocked this number now. They called saying they fix your internet for £60 for three years coverage, sounded alright but then took loads from my account. I kept getting charged so I had to cancel everything, including my bank card. Now everything’s stopped and I’ve no services at all. I’m not feeling great and this whole situation has really stressed me out.6 yearsWas tryin to load McAfee antivirus on me PC but it just stopped and said sumthing was blocking it. Then got a call from a number sayin they were McAfee and needed to transfer me to some zone firewall department to fix it. They asked for £125! I decided to ring McAfee straight away and they told me they’d never heard of these people and they don’t do any transfers like that. It’s definately a scam, so don’t get caught out and don’t pay them a penny!McAfee6 yearsI'd recommend not picking up if this number rings you. They tricked my Dad by telling him his laptop had viruses and offered a 5-year protection plan with McAfee included. He ended up handing over £69.99 for it. I rang them to sort it out and they agreed to refund him, but I'm not holding my breath on that!McAfee6 yearsI usually don’t pick up if the numbers don’t show who they are - so I have no idea who this could be.6 yearsGot a call from this number but didn’t pick up. After seeing all the reviews here, I’m actually relieved I didn't bother.6 yearsI keep gettin’ calls from this number like twice a week or more, but I never pick up. Honestly, it's really annoying.6 yearsI received a rather concerning call from this number earlier today. The individual on the line claimed to be associated with McAfee and insisted that my computer had been compromised. They then proceeded to offer a service to rectify the issue, but for a price, of course. I’m certain that this isn't the usual protocol they follow, so I promptly ended the conversation. Feeling uneasy, I decided to share my experience here to warn others about this potentially dodgy number.McAfee6 yearsThey attempted to con us out of our cash.6 yearsI was tryin to get McAfee Total Protection for my laptop, but then these scammers popped up sayin my new hard drive was infected with like 28 viruses.

Bit dodgy if you ask me, cos all I did was go online to download McAfee!6 yearsGot a call from this number today, didn’t pick up, and now it’s blocked.6 yearsAbsolute rubbish callers! Dont pick up if this number rings you!!! I tried to install McAfee security but it wouldnt load, so I called their support line and somehow ended up getting this number instead?? They kept ringing me back which was proper annoying, so I’ve blocked it for good. Be careful with your info and defo block and report this number.McAfee6 yearsI purchased McAfee total security and tried to activate it, but got an error message telling me to call a number. They said my PC was blocking the software, so I gave them remote access. They installed McAfee, but something felt dodgy so I didn’t pay the bill. Since then, I’ve had calls from a withheld number, but when I ask who they are, they just hang up. Luckily, I haven’t lost any money, but I’m worried about my personal details. I’ve reported everything to Action Fraud just in case.McAfeeAction Fraud6 yearsThey claimed to be from Norton and first wanted £124.99 to "fix" my computer. Now they’re demanding £1400.
