08000885258 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08000885258 👆 is reported as linked to alarming pop-up warnings about Trojan viruses or critical errors on computers, often accompanied by a loud audio message with an American accent urging users to call. Many users describe red full-screen alerts claiming their system is compromised and bank details at risk. Despite the urgency, multiple full antivirus scans commonly find no actual threat. The number is widely recognised as a scam, with suspicious language usage and requests for personal info. Several mention attempts to prevent users from closing the warning except by rebooting. Some people mistakenly called then hung up after being asked odd questions. Overall, this number is tied to deceptive tactics to create panic, but no genuine technical support or malware is confirmed by reputable security software.

I've recently encountered a rather similar issue. A message appeared, declaring a critical error in Google Chrome, and I was at a bit of a loss as to how to dismiss it. The only solution was to dive into the task manager and forcibly shut it down. I took a look on the Norton site, but they don't seem to list this as a concern! I ran a comprehensive scan of my entire system, and thankfully, everything appears to be functioning as it should.

I've just encountered a rather alarming red screen accompanied by an American voiceover. This alarming screen managed to take over my email tab, leaving me in a right flap! In my haste, I snapped a quick photo of the screen and shut everything down. After a reboot, things appear to be functioning normally... for now, at least. Interestingly, despite having McAfee installed, it didn't seem to prevent this issue from cropping up!

I got that message too and had a look through my computer but found nothing suspicious. I checked the number up and it’s definitely a scam. Seriously, don’t bother calling it!

Out of nowhere, a message popped up on my laptop saying I needed to ring 08000885258 immediately because some Trojan was trying to get into my bank info and computer. I nearly freaked out! I was about to dial the number straight away, but I’ve become pretty wary of stuff like this lately, so I decided to look up the number on 'Who phoned me' first. So glad I did, honestly. I’d just downloaded Incredimail too, which makes me wonder if it was just a total coincidence that the warning showed up right then?

Same here, got a message popping up telling me to call the freephone 0800 088 5258, with all sorts of threats like others mentioned. Looked into it and found nothing wrong on my end. Definitely looks like a scam - don’t even think about ringing that number!

I got an alarming red screen notification urging me to ring the number listed above. To be safe, I decided to do a comprehensive scan with Norton, which identified a virus and managed to resolve the issue. Just a heads-up, this number is definitely NOT associated with Microsoft support, so proceed with caution!

Like many have mentioned, I experienced that glaring red alert taking over my screen, insisting I ring this number. I couldn’t seem to escape the message at all, so I ended up powering down my computer. After waiting around for about five minutes, it took a while to boot back up, but once it did, everything appeared to be functioning as normal. I decided to look the number up here and was relieved to see numerous others reporting the very same issue.

I just got a voice alert along with a pop-up supposedly from Google warning that my PC is in danger. It claimed my private info, like bank stuff, might be stolen and urged me to freeze my accounts immediately. They also said my firewall stopped an attack but insisted I must call this number: 0800 088 5258. Don't ever call that number - it’s definitely a scam. Stay calm and don’t fall for it, calling will only cause you more trouble.

Seeing the big red warning on screen was a bit scary at first. It said something about Google Chrome being hit by a Trojan virus and that I should protect my passwords right away. I just wrote down the phone number they gave me instead of calling. Afterwards, I ran a complete scan and diagnostic with my antivirus software and nothing showed up suspicious. Sounds like a total scam to me! Definitely be cautious with stuff like this.

I encountered the same pop-up that others have mentioned. Naturally, it raised my eyebrows, but I felt a tad sceptical since the 0800 number was described as "toll free," which isn't really something you'd hear in the UK. Plus, the wording seemed rather odd. So, I took it upon myself to have a look at my Windows Defender Security Centre settings, and thankfully, everything was in order.

I received a notification on my computer concerning a Microsoft issue. I decided to ring the number provided, but the caller started prying about the age of my machine-something I wasn’t prepared to divulge. They also requested that I press the "qare" key at the bottom of my device, which I flatly refused to do. I swiftly concluded the call and dismissed the alert along with a voice message that had popped up on my screen.

Tuesday 6/3/2018 around 3pm I got a call from this number and it felt just like the others, so my advice is not to answer it. Later I ran a complete virus scan and it showed a trojan named f_006a43 or something similar. Beware!
