9 yearsI’ve been stuck messing around with my laptop for over two and a half hours now, still trying to fix it. Honestly, where do these people get the nerve to cause all this hassle? Proper annoying! 😡10 yearsFraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud!10 yearsI keep seeing the same stories about these dodgy numbers. From what I've experienced, if you ring them back, they pretend to be Microsoft support and will ask for your IP address, even guiding you on where to find it. They say they need this to access your computer. Once they get control, they install tracking software that can steal sensitive info like your bank details. So watch out - you could end up losing a lot of cash and personal data. Usually, if you ignore them, they give up after a while and move on to the next victim. However, if the calls keep coming, it’s wise to take your laptop or PC to a trusted technician to have your hard drive cleaned of any malware or spyware, which probably costs about £50. It might seem pricey, but it’s far better than risking your money and privacy.Microsoft10 yearsReally annoying bunch they are.10 yearsI've been having a right nightmare with my other laptop as it seems to have caught a virus. It’s completely unusable at the moment, constantly bombarding me with those annoying pop-up ads. I keep getting prompted to call this number, 08008021491, to sort out the issue. However, when I try calling, I’m greeted with a recorded message and left hanging on the line for ages. Is this some sort of con or what? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Cheers!10 yearsI've been facing the same issue with the Zeus virus recently. Does anyone know what the best course of action is? I'm really not sure how to deal with it.Zeus10 yearsAvoid this number at all costs - it’s nothing but a con!

I've gone ahead and reported them to Action Fraud as well.Action Fraud10 yearsWhat a complete fraud! It seemed so believable at first, yet it turned out to be quite perilous. They actually locked my laptop when I turned down their exorbitant proposals for removing trojans, malware, and all sorts of nonsense. Seriously, steer clear of this number at all costs!10 yearsHeads up, looks like there might be a Zeus virus on your device. Best to get in touch with the number listed above.Zeus10 yearsEvery time I use my laptop, this number pops up claiming that my Windows has found a ZUES virus. It warns me not to shut down my computer and insists I ring them with this code B2957E so their “agent” can sort the problem. It’s been happening a lot lately.10 yearsLoads of times today I’ve had pop ups saying my laptop has a virus and to call this number. I’ve not phoned them and definitely won’t. The only way to make the alerts stop is by yankin’ out the battery. Seriously, who are these people and what’s their game? Someone tell me how to make them disappear for good!10 yearsBeware of these con artists posing as tech support!10 yearsSo today I switched on my laptop for the kids to watch Digimon Fusion on Putlocker 9. We managed to see the first two episodes fine, but when I tried loading the third one, a message popped up saying I’ve got a Zeus virus. It told me not to shut down the computer and to call a tech support number straight away. I'm wondering if this could be for real or just another scam trying to trick me? Anyone had this before?Zeus10 yearsI just switched on me laptop and got a pop-up saying I should call this number right away cos it says there's a zeus virus on my computer?Zeus10 yearsI'm curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
