08000885197 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 08000885197 👆 is reported as a common scam involving fake Microsoft virus warnings urging urgent calls to a specific number. Users typically experience persistent pop-up messages claiming their computer or personal data is at risk, often pressuring for immediate contact. Attempts to close the pop-ups usually fail, but can be resolved by using task manager to end the associated processes. Genuine Microsoft does not send such alerts or request calls. Callers purporting to be Microsoft engineers fail to provide credible identification and often demand personal or banking details, which should not be shared. The scam is widely recognised and attributed to malicious call centres. Victims are advised to disregard the warnings, avoid calling the number, and seek official support through legitimate Microsoft channels.

9 yearsThese lot are worse than any thief I’ve dealt with before. Total scam. All you gotta do is just restart your computer and be done with it. The number is 08000885197 if you wanna avoid them.Robber Red9 yearsI encountered a rather dubious message on my screen that claimed to be from Microsoft, urging me to ring a specific number. The message ominously warned that failure to do so might result in potential harm to my computer, along with threats of notifying the cyber police. Quite alarming, to say the least!Microsoft9 yearsSo, a couple of days ago, I was just using my PC when this warning suddenly appeared, claiming my computer was compromised and that my personal info, including banking details, was being sent to some so-called Microsoft team. They said if I didn't call them right away, they'd shut down my computer instantly. It took me a bit of effort to close everything and get rid of that pop-up. Proper dodgy stuff!Microsoft9 yearstotal scam alert. i kept trying to shut the popup but as soon as one closed, another immediately appeared. nothing i did would close them properly. finally, i hit ctrl + alt + del all together and that brought me to a different screen. from there, i opened task manager, selected the troublesome windows and hit end task. that seemed to stop them. avoid clicking on these things!9 yearsI ended up doing the same thing others suggested, hitting ctrl-alt-delete. Also, I sent a screenshot of it over to my company's IT support via email.9 yearsI've been getting this annoying pop-up on my Xbox, and I haven't even given it a bell yet. Any idea how to get rid of it on Edge?9 yearsThey told me they had access to all my personal stuff, like my bank info, Facebook account, pictures, and things like that.Facebook9 yearsI called the number using my pay as you go after seeing a weird pop-up. The guy who picked up said he wasn’t from Microsoft directly but some global team of their engineers. When I asked him to prove it, he totally couldn’t, so I just ended the call.Microsoft9 yearsMicrosoft is a scam, seriously avoid those pop-up ads, they’re just traps.Microsoft9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft, wanted my bank info so I just ended the call.
