Reports on phone number 08081962847
4 yearsGot this dodgy email that claimed to be from PayPal, but the grammar was awful, really made me laugh. They put some effort into making it look legit from the header though. The whole scam was so daft it was almost funny 🤣. The message had the number 0808 196 2817 in it, so be careful. If that number pops up, it's definitely a con, so don’t trust it for a second!PayPal4 yearsGot a dodgy invoice from some scammer via PayPal. Definitely don’t send any money!6 yearsI also pressed on a link claiming to be from Amazon and suddenly my screen was flashing madly, with a loud, annoying alarm going off. Then a voice started saying I’d been hacked and might’ve lost my passwords and bank details. After that, a message popped up pretending to be from Microsoft telling me to ring a certain number. I freaked out and dialled it, but just as someone picked up I realised it was dodgy and quickly hung up. They called me back a couple of times after that, but I ignored both calls.AmazonMicrosoft6 yearsThank you so much for this! Had the exact same issue and your tips really sorted it out. Very grateful!6 yearsI just saw the same message pop up on my laptop and gave the number a ring but it cut off straight away. Then I figured I’d look up the number and found all your comments here! Does anyone know how to stop the message and that annoying sound?6 yearsToday I went through pretty much all of that (tried contacting Amazon through 'Bing') and had to stop everything by completely shutting down and restarting my computer. After all that, I ran a thorough 'MS Security Essentials' check and it flagged a 'HMLT:FakeAlert.C' Trojan. Not sure if it was related or just a coincidence, but I'd definitely recommend running a proper antivirus scan rather than just closing the warning if you come across something like this. Better safe than sorry!AmazonMS Security Essentials7 yearsI just got a message on my screen saying my computer got hacked. Seriously, don’t ring this number.7 yearsAvoid calling this number, it’s connected to a scam. Today my computer got stuck with a loud annoying beep after I accidentally clicked a fake Amazon link from a Bing search. It was really frustrating. I managed to fix it by pressing control-alt-delete and then shutting down the frozen app (for me, it was Bing). Fingers crossed this helps anyone else who runs into the same problem. Don’t let these scammers spoil your day. Now I’m starting a full virus scan just to be safe 😅AmazonBingSubmit Your Own Report (0808 196 2847)
