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.

9 yearsJust got hit with the same thing. My screen suddenly showed a message about a critical error with Google Chrome. The only way I could make it go away was by opening task manager and shutting it down from there. I checked Norton’s site but they don’t seem to list this as a threat anywhere. Did a full scan of my computer afterwards and everything looks fine so far.Google ChromeNorton9 yearsJust got hit with that red screen too, with some American accent talking. It popped up right over my email tab and freaked me out a bit. I managed to snap a quick photo of it before shutting everything off. After a restart, things seem fine... for now anyway. I’ve got McAfee installed but it didn’t block it, which is a bit worrying.McAfee9 yearsI 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!9 yearsOut 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?9 yearsSame 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!9 yearsI got a scary red alert telling me to ring the number listed here. So, I decided to run a full scan on my computer using Norton, which found a virus and sorted it out. Just so you know, this number isn't from Microsoft support at all. Be careful!NortonMicrosoft9 yearsLike many folks mentioned before, there was a massive red warning that took up my whole screen telling me to ring this number. I wasn't able to close the message, so I had to force a shutdown. After waiting about five minutes, I restarted my PC, which took a bit longer than usual. Thankfully, once it booted up again, everything seemed fine. I looked up the number on here and saw loads of people complaining about the same thing.9 yearsI 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.Google9 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!9 yearsSeeing 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.9 yearsI got that same popup that a few here have mentioned. It worried me at first, but I got a bit doubtful since they called the 0800 number “toll free”, which isn’t a phrase we usually say here in the UK. Plus, the way the English was written felt a bit odd. I just ended up having a quick look in my Windows Defender Security Center just to be sure, and thankfully there wasn’t anything wrong.UK9 yearsMy phone froze and a warning showed up saying I'd got a trojan virus, telling me to call that number straight away. The screen was completely locked, so the only option was to restart the device.9 yearsA message suddenly appeared on my laptop about some Microsoft issue. I rang the number they gave out of curiosity. They asked me how old my laptop was, but I chose not to answer. They also told me to press the "qare" key at the bottom of my computer, which I didn’t do either. After that, I just hung up and closed the warning and a voice alert that popped up on my screen.Microsoft9 yearsGot a voicemail and a warning telling me to ring that number back. Seems like a total scam, watch out!9 yearsTotal rip off!9 yearsTuesday 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!9 yearsI got a pop-up on my laptop from this number warning about a Trojan virus, and it said I had to ring them straight away.9 yearsWhile browsing the Terence Paul site, I got a message popping up saying there was a trojan worm.
