I found myself confronted by an alarming full-screen message, warning of viruses and trojans. No matter what I tried, I couldn't seem to shift it. Out of desperation, I dialled the number provided, and to my surprise, a voice merely said “hello” followed by claiming to be from Microsoft when I pressed for details. Given my laptop was essentially out of action until I could wipe it clean, I allowed them to remotely access my device. They then pointed out what they claimed were the issues and offered to sort everything out, including antivirus installation, for £64. Naturally, I turned down the offer; however, I must say, there wasn't any aggressive sales pitch afterwards, which suggests they’re adapting their tactics. I’ve since had the laptop completely overhauled.

I received a message indicating that my computer had been locked because of some suspicious activity and instructed me to call 0800 046 5252. When I did, the person on the other end simply answered with a "hello," and I couldn’t make out what they were saying. Thankfully, I managed to get out of the situation.

Received a rather alarming message on my laptop today. The screen was bright red, and the voiceover had an unmistakable American twang, urging me to ring a specified number, warning me against closing the window. Naturally, I was a bit concerned, so I switched to my main computer to investigate further. Thankfully, with a bit of savvy, I managed to exit the page using Ctrl + Alt + Delete. Did a thorough malware check afterwards, but found nothing amiss. The so-called callers claimed to be from Microsoft. Cheers to this site for the handy tips!

I found myself in a bit of a pickle when my computer suddenly locked up. A message popped up, urging me to call a helpline for Microsoft at 0800 046 5252. Naturally, I was suspicious, so I hopped onto another device to verify this so-called Microsoft number. Turns out, it was a complete scam! The genuine Microsoft team assured me that 0800 046 5252 is not affiliated with them at all. Thankfully, they helped me get my computer back up and running. What a relief!

What a dreadful scam!
My computer completely froze up when I accessed a certain site.
I was greeted by a pre-recorded message insisting that I had a trojan, and that my device was locked.
They prompted me to ring 08000465252 for assistance, pretending to be a Microsoft support line.
The wording in the message was quite poorly constructed.
I quickly pressed Ctrl, Alt, and Del to escape the nightmare, and thankfully, I’ve had no issues since!

The number 0800 046 5252 isn't affiliated with Microsoft; it actually belongs to EveryBiz Solutions, who are attempting to swindle you by claiming they'll block your computer. Do yourself a favour and steer clear of calling them-opt instead to contact the Action Fraud line at 0300 123 2040.

I just had a rather alarming message pop up on my laptop, demanding my username and password while insisting that the device is riddled with a spyware infection. What a nuisance!

I received a barrage of messages claiming to be from Microsoft, warning me about a supposed security problem on my computer. In a moment of foolishness, I dialled the number they provided, but something didn’t sit right with me, so I quickly hung up. It’s absolutely clear that it was a scam attempt.

I've got a neighbour in a bit of a pickle too; they've granted access and are now being prompted for funds through PayPal. What actions did you take? How did it all unfold? Were you able to regain control? - caller: Fraud Alert.

Beware, folks! This is definitely a scam. They're sending malicious software to freeze your laptop's functionality. This has nothing to do with Windows; it's all about these money-grabbing fraudsters. Absolutely a scam, steer clear of it! - caller: FRAUD ALERT, NOT WINDOWS!

In a fit of panic, I ended up blocking my laptop and foolishly rang them back. I even entered their connecting code-what a wally! Now I’m extremely anxious about what I might have inadvertently given them access to. For heaven’s sake, steer clear of this lot! Trust me, it’s not worth it!

It’s a dodgy computer virus scam! Steer clear of it. Your device is absolutely alright, so don’t bother ringing them up.
