Phone number ☎️ 08002061022 👆 is reported as a scam number pretending to be Windows Support, using alarming pop-ups and loud noises to scare users into calling.

Reports on phone number 08002061022
7 yearsThey try to trick you by saying your computer has some sort of adult virus. I'd definitely say run a complete antivirus check to be safe.7 yearsSo this number 0800 206 1022 kept calling me, and when it didn’t work, they tried again from 020 8673 9635. They said there was a pop-up warning that my computer would shut down unless I acted fast. These guys try to get you to share your screen and might lock you out by changing your passwords. But there are a couple of simple tricks to get rid of it: just switch off your computer completely, which clears it, or press the Windows key + D to open the desktop and close the annoying pop-up from there.7 yearsGot a call from 0800 206 1022 telling me my PC was infected and warning me not to turn it off before ringing them. Luckily, my son was nearby and stopped me from doing anything daft. Honestly, best to see this as a scam. My tip: keep your antivirus up to date and back everything up often. If you get any popup or email telling you to call a number, chances are it’s not legit. Always check the number yourself and if you’re unsure, just ignore it.7 yearsIf your computer is always up to date with good real-time protection and another layered security tool that runs offline scans now and then, scam pop ups shouldn’t really be an issue. It’s also a good idea to have a regular routine for cleaning out the junk your main antivirus might miss - there are plenty of programs that do this well. Whenever you get dodgy pop ups, spam emails, or suspicious calls, make sure to report them straight to ‘actionfraud police.uk/report-phishing’ to help stop these scams.Action Fraud7 yearsI'm pretty convinced this number is a total scam. They keep calling about ‘windows support’ and try to freak you out with annoying pop-ups and threats about your computer being infected. If you've got solid antivirus software and keep it updated with regular scans, there’s no need to stress. One day, with nothing better to do, I rang them back just to mess about a bit and waste their time.7 yearsAt around 2 this afternoon I got this horrible screeching sound, kinda like a smoke alarm, saying to call this number and not touch my computer. I stupidly called the number and some “operator” told me to shut down my computer and not use it for a few hours, said everything would be fine after that. Definitely don’t ever answer or call back this number again!7 yearsI got a call from 0800 206 1022 and had pretty much the same experience as everyone else here. I was lucky to catch on before handing over any cash. Now though, I can’t get into my laptop at all - none of my passwords seem right and even the 'forgot password' option isn’t helping. Does anyone know how to sort this? Is there a Windows support number I can ring?7 yearsIf you’re stuck on some annoying page from 0800 206 1022, try hitting ctrl + alt + delete on your keyboard and open up Task Manager. That should get your cursor back and let you close the page without any hassle.7 yearsTotally a scam, I’m telling ya!7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Windows support, but it seemed dodgy. They kept asking how old I was, which felt off. Pretty sure they were trying to scam older folks. Watch out if you get a call like that!7 yearsGot this really dodgy alert on my computer, looked like it was from Windows, had the logo and everything. It told me not to turn off my PC and to call a number instead. It mentioned something about my IP being detected and that some files on my machine might be at risk or something like that. Totally sketchy if you ask me.7 yearsMy PC suddenly started making scary noises and a warning popped up saying it was blocked, with a message from "Windows support" showing that number. I stupidly let them access my computer to "check things out". After a while, it clicked that it was a con, but by then they'd ended the call leaving my computer offline and the firewall completely disabled.7 yearsThis was definitely a scam call. I just turned my PC off, started it up again, and then did a full scan to catch any dodgy stuff that might have got in. Better safe than sorry!7 yearsThey’re scammers pretending to be from Windows! I’m having the exact same issue as others here mentioned. It’s so annoying!7 yearsGot a call from this number and the computer must be crazy or something, cause they were saying they were from Windows, total scammers!7 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Windows Support, trying to scam me. Total waste of time, just hang up if you get a call like that!Submit Your Own Report (0800 206 1022)
