Phone number ☎️ 08000903226 👆 is reported as a well-known scam involving fake virus alerts that lock your device or display alarming messages urging you to call. The callers impersonate Microsoft, often speaking with foreign accents, and attempt to gain remote access to install password protections or steal information. Victims are then pressured to pay to regain control. The alert pop-ups are deceptive and difficult to close normally, but restarting the computer is usually sufficient. This number is not affiliated with Microsoft and should be avoided. Users are advised not to engage or provide any personal information. If contacted, it is best to terminate the call immediately and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

10 yearsIt's just a complete con, they want to freak people out. Seriously, make sure you tell the cops about it.10 yearsSounds like you've encountered one of those SYSKEY scams (you can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syskey). Basically, they ring you up pretending to be from Microsoft after a bogus virus warning pops up. If you let them access your PC remotely, they set up a password lock and then demand money to remove it. My missus got caught out after clicking a dodgy link on Facebook, but thankfully the password they used was just "123456," so I managed to sort everything out in the end.SyskeyMicrosoftFacebook10 yearsIt’s definitely a dodgy operation! They hijack your device and prompt you to call this number, and that’s where the real trouble begins. I've received numerous calls from them since then!10 yearsI'd definitely say avoid calling this number.10 yearsThese call centres are just pulling the classic Microsoft scam. Usually, just shutting down your PC or clicking the little x on the screen's corner sorts it out. Don’t stress, they didn’t get any of your info or anything.Microsoft10 yearsDoes anyone know if this number really belongs to Microsoft?MicrosoftSubmit Your Own Report (0800 090 3226)
