That message about the person you’re calling being unreachable? Totally feels like a scam to me. I was just about to mess around with whoever's on the other end.

On the 1st of February 2016, my computer suddenly showed a warning telling me I was in major danger and gave a phone number, 0800 410 1027, saying it was BT. Since I’m careful with my computer's security, I figured it was dodgy but it still made me a bit anxious. I shut down my laptop straight away and used my iPad to look up the number, which totally backed up my doubts. Still, I won’t lie, for a split second I was tempted to ring it before realising it was likely a scam.

While looking up solutions for a printer issue, I stumbled across a site with a URL beginning something like https;s3-ap-southwest-2.amazonaws.com followed by a long string of numbers and letters. Initially, I thought it might be related to Amazon since the word “amazon” was in the address. Within seconds of loading the page, my desktop started acting strange - loud beeps went off, and I couldn’t close the browser or mute the sound. Realising something dodgy was going on, I quickly cut off my internet connection and forced a shutdown to prevent anything getting onto my system. When I restarted, everything appeared normal and a thorough AVG scan didn’t detect any threats. Clearly this was some kind of scam trying to get me to call that 0800 number I found listed, which I didn’t. Does anyone know how websites manage to gain partial control like this, what steps I can take to avoid it happening again, and how to trace the origins of these callers? Cheers, Bob.

I just got a warning pop up on my computer, which was pretty alarming, saying not to make any online purchases until I'd called a specific number. After I rang it, something felt off, so I hung up and it hit me it was a scam. Good to read others have come across the same thing.

I was just having a look at some old antiques online when out of nowhere a new window appeared saying there were security problems with TalkTalk. Tried closing my computer down normally but it wouldn’t shut off, so I had to pull the plug and restart it. The minute I opened Internet Explorer again, that same warning came right back up. Ended up running Norton Power Eraser which cleared the issue, then I ran a full system scan just to be safe. Thinking of getting in touch with TalkTalk since they’ve had security issues before.

A message popped up on my computer and it felt like a scam straight away. I did call the number just to be sure, but the guy on the other end was really dodgy and rude, wouldn’t say anything about the company he was from. I ended the call pretty quick. Then I had to go into the task manager and shut down the whole thing.

Something popped up on my computer and I was really thankful to see other people’s comments warning about it being a scam and tips on how to remove that message.

I was just on my computer when suddenly these strange pop-ups showed up, saying my computer had a virus and my security was at risk. They really pushed me to call the number they gave for help with getting rid of the virus. The message wouldn’t go away no matter what I did, so I ended up having to force my computer off by pressing the power button. After restarting, I looked up the number online and quickly found out it was a scam - sometimes you just get a bad feeling about these things. Right now, I’m running a full system scan to be safe. Not sure yet if anything was actually compromised, so here’s hoping everything’s alright.

I wasn’t sure what was going on at first, but I had a feeling it was some kind of scam. It really freaked me out when a woman started yelling at me through my computer, saying I had to call a certain number to save my computer. Glad to see others have shared their experiences too, thanks for that!

Beware, this is just a trick to get you to buy fake security programs or to let them control your PC. Don't ring them back! If you catch the call, open the task manager by right clicking the bottom taskbar on your Windows screen. Then find your browser - could be Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer - the one making the noise. Right click on it and pick "end process" to stop whatever they're trying to do. Stay safe and don’t fall for it!

Got a warning supposedly from TalkTalk that made Microsoft Edge just freeze up. Definitely looked like a scam to me. I didn’t dare tap the OK button, way too dodgy. Ended up having to force close Edge using task manager, but even after restarting, the issue stuck around.

Got a call from someone saying my security was compromised and it was from BT. They ended up freezing my computer. After about half a minute of chatting, it clicked they were trying to scam me, so I just ended the call.

I couldn’t get the window to shut properly, had to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to close it. After that, just to be safe, I did a reboot and ran a full scan with Kaspersky. Honestly, it’s mad that some people really call that number!

So my laptop just froze and a message popped up saying Sky Broadcast, which seemed legit since I’m with Sky. I ended up calling them, but first I rang what I thought was MacAfee support. This person claimed my laptop was being attacked by a Trojan virus and said if I followed his instructions, he could sort it out. I handed over remote access to him, and for over an hour, I just watched while he disabled all my security features. I couldn’t do much because he had control. Then suddenly a bill for £275 appeared on the screen, and he said I had to pay for a licence. I told him I couldn’t afford that, and he got really annoyed, telling me never to call again because he wouldn’t speak to me. Now I’m worried - have I been hacked? Can he still get into my laptop?

I got a call from someone claiming to be tech support from Microsoft, but it was definitely a scam. Why aren’t the police tracking down these scammers? It’s so frustrating!

I got a message from that exact number too and it kept popping up on my screen. I tried calling it back, but there was nothing but silence on the line, so I ended the call pretty quickly. In the end, the only way I could clear the message was by rebooting my computer.

A woman phoned me insisting I ring a particular number to sort out my computer before I use it for online shopping. She claimed they'd help me get rid of a dangerous virus. Something felt off about it, but I couldn’t just block or dismiss her calls.

Got a message popping up on my computer saying I had serious security issues, said it was from Sky. It wanted me to call some "Windows certified tech support" using this number. Looks dodgy to me.

I got a pop-up on my laptop saying my device was at risk of being hacked. It claimed to be from TalkTalk, probably linked to the recent breach they had. When I called the number provided, obviously they had no idea about it.

My TalkTalk account got hacked recently and I reckon this number is linked to another one. The number 0203 1295246 supposedly belongs to Harry Thomas from TalkTalk's tech support. I tried calling the other number I saw pop up on my computer, 0800 410 1027, but it turned out to be some call centre in Australia. I hung up straight away. Pretty clearly a phishing scam if you ask me.

I just got a call from a woman with an American accent saying my computer has a Trojan virus that's watching everything I do and might be hacking into my bank account. She told me to ring that number straight away.

Someone just called me saying they were from TalkTalk tech support, said it was about my internet. Sounded dodgy to me, so I didn’t give them any info. Probably one of those scammers pretending to be from the ISP. Just a heads up!
