I recently encountered the number 08000885258, and it seems they're operating in the same manner. They tried to persuade me to grant them access to my computer. I managed to dodge that bullet, but it was a rather precarious situation!

It appears that this is still a persistent issue. My own observations align quite closely with what others have reported here. I’ve taken the step of reaching out to "Action Fraud" regarding this specific scam.

I find it baffling that this remains operational despite it being flagged several months back! What's going on?

Just like many others have shared, I found myself on a site about woodburners when suddenly my screen was hijacked by a bold warning, accompanied by an automated voice urging me to call this 0800 number to ‘liberate’ my laptop. Try as I might, I couldn’t escape that intrusive page, so I resorted to the old faithful - the power button - to force a shutdown. After rebooting, I ran a thorough Norton scan, which thankfully revealed no problems, and everything appears to be functioning as it should now. Quite the ordeal, I must say!

On Wednesday, the 14th of December 2016, shortly before half four, I powered up my desktop. I promptly navigated to eBay and snagged a bargain chainsaw component shipped from China. After completing the transaction, I popped over to a chainsaw forum. Without logging in, I was perusing the job listings when those pesky Microsoft scam pages appeared, identical to what others have mentioned. Following a reboot of my computer, I ran a scan, and everything seems to be functioning normally.

I mentioned I’d be passing the number along to the cyber crime division and GCHQ. The reply I got was just a stunned “oh crikey” before they abruptly hung up. It’s quite amusing how that seems to scare them off! Haha!

9th December: I've received yet another rather persuasive alert from what purported to be "Windows Defender," much like what others have shared. Curiosity got the better of me, so I dialled the number provided, but it seemed my tone raised some red flags; they didn’t pressure me into taking any action regarding my machine. I promptly ended the call and checked my Windows Defender myself-it appeared to be all in good shape. Just to be on the safe side, I conducted a thorough scan. What baffles me is what exactly they hoped to gain from this con. Quite unsettling, really. D

I recently received a rather alarming text claiming that a Trojan horse had breached my security, putting my personal details at risk. The message urged me to ring a certain number right away. So, I gave it a go, and a chap with an Indian accent answered, assuring me he could resolve the issue. However, I felt a bit uneasy about the whole thing, so I decided to look up the number on my phone instead. Thankfully, I stumbled upon this site. A friend of mine had fallen victim to a similar scam where their computer was controlled remotely, so I'm now particularly cautious. Fingers crossed there's nothing sinister lurking on my PC! Many thanks for the insights provided here.

I’ve just encountered an intrusive pop-up that was quite stubborn, making it impossible for me to exit the browser. In the end, I had no choice but to power down my computer. After rebooting, I decided to search for the number 0800 086 9828 on Google, just like someone mentioned higher up on this page. Interestingly, my ESET antivirus didn’t raise any alarms, and thankfully, my computer remains free of any issues.

It could be quite amusing if all of us who encounter this nuisance were to bombard the freephone number with a flurry of calls. Just imagine the potential strain on the scammer’s phone bill - it might just prompt them to rethink their dodgy activities! You could let them have a piece of your mind, or simply keep it quiet and hang up; either way, they'll still incur the costs. If you’re feeling a bit cautious about potential retaliation, it might be wise to block your number beforehand.

Absolutely, I've encountered a similar situation myself! Thankfully, I had the wit to ask the chap for his name, so I could double-check with Microsoft to ascertain his authenticity. He panicked a tad and provided the name RISHABH????, unsurprisingly. When I mentioned I’d be verifying and would call back, he retorted, “FINE, RING BACK, AND THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME!!!” What a cheeky so-and-so! A word of caution: while the website might appear entirely legitimate with its pop-ups, as soon as the conversation steers towards “Press the Windows key + R,” that's your cue to be ultra-suspicious. Just hit ALT + CTRL + DEL, navigate to Task Manager, and swiftly close those pesky web pages. Give your computer a fresh reboot afterwards, and for heaven's sake, ensure you’ve got a robust internet security software in place!

This is definitely a dodgy operation! Just check the little box to prevent the explorer from sending that pesky message over and over again; that will allow you to close it or steer clear of it entirely. If you happen to receive a call from this number, consider dialling in and having a laugh, much like they do. Don’t divulge any of your personal details-just enjoy the exchange, so they'll hopefully get bored and shift their focus onto other schemes!

I recently encountered a rather pesky pop-up that wouldn’t let me exit my browser. After battling with it for a bit, I decided to just power down my computer, then rebooted and looked up the number 0800 086 9828 on Google. Surely, BT has the means to track down the culprits behind this dubious scam.

I was just browsing the web, looking for timber supplies on eBay, when this popped up on my screen. Honestly, it gave me quite a fright! At my age, it’s rather unsettling to see something like that. How do these things even happen? It’s quite concerning really!

Utterly fraudulent. This nonsense popped up out of nowhere, and I get that it can be a tad unsettling as it looks like it’s taken over your browsing session. I had to shut down Chrome using the task manager to regain control, then I searched the number and found plenty of others warning about this pop-up. I did a thorough scan with McAfee LiveSafe, and thankfully, my system is all clear. Whatever you do, don’t ring that number. It may seem like an official warning at first glance, but if you scrutinise the text, you’ll notice the phrasing is odd and likely from someone who isn’t a native English speaker.

Total con artist! Don't even think about dialling this number. It absolutely terrified my twelve-year-old while she was just trying to finish her schoolwork. If you happen to get caught in the web of that pop-up nonsense, simply hover over the 'close' button, hit enter on the 'OK' prompt in the message, and then quickly click the 'X' - that should make the page disappear without a trace.

While I was busy updating my website, a rather alarming pop-up notification appeared on my screen. Given that I'm running an e-commerce platform, it felt somewhat credible, especially as it mentioned the possibility of bank details being saved in certain URLs. I considered giving the number a bell, but I decided against it after discovering that others had experienced similar situations without any connection to my activities. It does make one wonder, how can we be absolutely certain that this warning isn’t genuine?

I've had a similar experience myself! I decided to shut it all down. Should I be looking into cancelling my accounts too?

I've just received the alarming notification as well, and I must say it's quite unnerving. I'm planning to run a security scan with my Plusnet Protect software to ensure everything's alright! Here's hoping for the best!
