I'm being pestered by this number! They incessantly ring me up, insisting that I must hand over my bank details to supposedly renew some sort of computer security licence. It’s absolutely ridiculous!

Total scam alert, don’t send them a penny or it’s gone for good. Trust me, you don’t owe those lot a single thing. I actually got hold of a name and bank details from one of the scammers which are: Account Holder - MR DAVID JOHN BOLTON, Account No. 24994783, Sort Code - 09 01 36. I’ve already reported this to my bank so they can look into it. Honestly, keep well clear of these people.

Total scam, don’t send them a penny or it’s gone for good. Honestly, you don’t owe these lot a thing. I was able to get the name and account details of one of the scammers - it’s MR DAVID JOHN BOLTON, account number 24994783, sort code 09-01-36. I’ve already passed this info to my bank so they can look into it. Seriously, keep well clear of these scammers.

I've been swamped with emails every day claiming I’m being taken to court for fraud and cheating. It sounds like absolute nonsense, especially since they say they’re from some solicitor working for a company called Byte Defender. Honestly, feels like a massive scam to me.

I've been getting calls from 0800 098 8556 like two or three times every week lately.

I keep getting emails from them non stop, and sometimes they ring me too. The calls often start with 0161 or 0151 but sometimes other numbers appear. Feels like they’re just trying to bother people.

I keep getting loads of emails from them, and sometimes they ring me too. The calls usually start with numbers like 0161 or 0151, but they use loads of different ones. Feels like they're just pestering people nonstop.

I got in touch with a business that sounds almost the same and they told me they’re actually losing loads of money every day thanks to these folks. They made it clear it’s not their doing and warned not to send any cash. I’ve forwarded all the emails I got to [email protected] just so they can have a look.

Got hit with three different scams this week and one of them was from 0-800-098-8556. Total nightmare!

I told my bank about it, and they said it was a scam, so they won’t be handing over any cash. If you manage to get a name, sort code, and account number, make sure you report it to your bank and also to Action Fraud. When you ring them about the payment, they’ll try to get your card details, and if you ask whether it’s a business account, they’ll say no, it’s a personal one. No legit company would ask you to pay into a personal account. It’s definitely a con, and I’ve already reported it to Action Fraud.

Definitely a scam call, I already looked it up through Byte Defender. They claim the accounts department tried to reach me by phone and email about renewing some defender protection automatically. They say my card was declined and that I need to contact them to sort cancellation or renewal. Otherwise, they threaten legal action because supposedly I agreed to auto-renew. They even mention sending things to their lawyer and have call recordings from years ago. Don’t trust this number: 0800 098 8556 UK.

I keep receiving emails threatening to sue me for not paying, but I never agreed to any payment terms or signed anything. It's really stressing me out.

For the past three years, my late dad has been getting emails from these people, insisting he bought insurance he never did. It's been really distressing for my mum to receive them, especially since they even said they spoke to him, like from beyond the grave. I've reported every one of those emails to the proper government email address, but no action’s been taken. I’m definitely not going to ring them. The number they want me to call for this solicitor, Raymond Holder, is 08000988556.

Another email popped up from BYTE DEFENDERS claiming I’m about to get a court order. If these lot have been around for ages, why hasn’t report phishing done anything yet? Feels like they’re just twiddling their thumbs.

Got an email again last night from some so-called solicitor called raymond holder from solicitor team [email protected]. These scammers just wont stop bombarding me with emails pretending to be legit solicitors. I’ve already reported them but it keeps happening. Really annoying!

I often get calls once or twice a week from numbers beginning with 0151 or 0161 followed by some random digits. Afterwards, they send me an email saying my protection plan needs renewing and that my card payment was declined. They want me to phone back and provide my personal details. I’ve already reported it. If anyone else is dealing with this kind of scam, I’d definitely advise you to report it too. You can contact me at [email protected] if you want to chat about it.

Got yet another message from Byte Defend today. I always end up forwarding their emails to [email protected] without fail.

About four years back, Laura Howard set up Defender Security. The number linked with it is 0-800-098-8556.

Eastern Union, which also goes by Byte Defend, are total con artists. They ring you up pretending to offer antivirus services but then try to charge your card loads, claiming you agreed to some auto-renewal. When you don’t pay, they start shouting about taking legal action, but honestly, that’s just bluff. Usually, the first call is from Eastern Union, but any follow-ups come from Byte Defender. Honestly, if you get involved with these lot, get your bank to cancel your card and sort out a new one with different details ASAP!

like someone else said, i saw on wikipedia that this number's been scamming folks since 2010. when will those phishing report sites actually take action? they use names like laura howard but its all made up. they just wait for someone, especially older or more vulnerable people, to fall for it. so annoying!

Just a heads up, got a call from laura [email protected] claiming to offer software to protect my computer - total scam, watch out!

Just got another dodgy email about some computer security software scam. This one was for something called Byte Defend Protection. The message was from a Laura Howard who said she put Defender Security on my PC four years ago. Now they want me to pay £299.99 for an automatic renewal. I’ve sent the email straight off to [email protected] to report it.
