WARNING! This number showed up when I was using a YouTube to MP3 site called www.video2mp3.net. That website’s been taken over by malware, full of fake ‘install’ buttons and fake error messages. Even with AdBlock Plus running, some ads still manage to slip through. For example, it’ll tell you stuff like “You need Java 12.4 to convert this video.” One annoying popup directs you to a page claiming your PC has a virus and urges you to ring an 0800 number (0800 802 1523). The page keeps beeping nonstop and won’t close, even if you try to end it with Task Manager. The only way to stop it is by shutting down your computer forcibly. THAT PHONE NUMBER IS A SCAM. You absolutely don’t have a virus on your machine. Despite being a UK number, it’s likely rerouted abroad since it calls it a ‘toll free number’ - not a typical UK phrase. Stay well clear of 0800 802 1523!

Happened to me too - I ended up just shutting my PC down and restarting it, then McAfee didn’t show any threats, so I was a bit puzzled! The message looked pretty legit and I wasn’t able to close it normally, so I had to force it off. Not sure what to make of it, sorry if that’s no help. :-( The caller ID was the same number that popped up on the warning message, supposedly from Microsoft?

On my other PC, I received a message telling me to call this number straight away about a serious security problem. Not sure if it’s really Microsoft or just a scam. Anyone know?
