8 yearsI’m pretty sure the number’s alright, it’s just that the scammer passed it on to someone else or sold it maybe?11 yearsSo I got this weird message popping up sayin my laptop got a virus and that I needed to ring this number or else it could get into my Facebook and even my webcam. Was pretty freaked out, but I just switched off my laptop and when I turned it on again, the message was gone. Do you think this could have done any harm to my laptop? - caller: 08008021396Facebook11 yearsA warning suddenly popped up on my laptop saying I had a serious virus with a trojan and worm. I did the usual - took out the battery and switched it off. After waiting around 15 minutes, I switched it back on, but the message appeared again. I called the number on screen thinking it was Microsoft, but later realised it wasn't. My wife gave me a bit of stick saying she thought I’d be cleverer than that, guess I’m just getting old. Anyway, after I ended the call, I restarted the laptop again and the warning was gone. Best to try every other way to fix it before ringing anyone.Microsoft11 yearsthis number (0800 802 1396) showed up on dodgy sites pretending to be some tech support after a fake security warning. these scammers from india should be locked up, but if you’re careful, playing along can be a bit amusing. just don’t take risks, but it’s a decent way to waste some time. - caller was from an indian call centre scammer (once again)Caller11 yearsMy computer started acting up and the only way to stop it was to turn it off completely.11 yearsGot a call from an Indian tech support scam today. The number 0800 802 1396 keeps popping up on dodgy sites pretending to be a genuine support line after a supposed security warning. These scammers really ought to be locked up, but if you’re careful, it’s harmless enough to mess with them a bit. Actually, it’s quite a laugh if you’ve got some spare time... - caller: Indian telemarketer scammers once more11 yearsBeware, this company claiming to be Microsoft selling virus software is a total scam. Avoid answering their calls at all costs.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from some so-called Indian tech support claiming my computer was riddled with viruses. Total scam, tried to get me to pay for useless "repairs". Definitely dodgy, watch out!India11 yearsReceived a call from 0800-802-1396 claiming it was Microsoft saying my computer had a virus. They tried to convince me to pay for some kind of service, but it smelled off. It's definitely a scam, so watch out if you get a call like this!Microsoft11 yearsI rang this number and it turned out to be a scam where they were trying to sell me some sort of antivirus software.11 yearsA dodgy pop-up popped up telling me to ring +44 800 802 1396, which looked proper dodgy and scammy to me.

This guy tried to charge me £159 for a 12-month subscription or whatever. I said I couldn’t afford that, but somehow I ended up letting him take over my PC. He went on about some virus and said the server was based in Liverpool. I told him I wasn’t paying, then just hung up. After that, my internet stopped working, so I called back. The bloke said his name was Martin Manchel, but sounded like he was from India or Pakistan. When I mentioned I’d get the police involved, he just said something like, "Contact the King or Queen, I don’t care." I really hope my laptop’s okay after all this. Does anyone know what to do next? - caller: Martin ManchelLiverpoolMartin Manchel11 yearsMy computer suddenly popped up a notice saying I had a virus on it.Submit Your Own Report (0800 802 1396)
