Terrible people behind this number. I’d say just switch off your computer or laptop and reboot it instead of ringing them up. They’re just after a scam, don’t fall for it.

Received a notification on my laptop, and now I'm locked out of my info, which is incredibly frustrating! Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I had a rather peculiar experience the other day! An Asian gentleman claimed to be hailing from the USA, but then abruptly switched his story to being from the UK. To top it all off, the call was actually coming from Greece. When I confronted him about the discrepancies, the line went completely silent. Quite the odd situation, wouldn't you agree?

I attempted to watch some live football online when suddenly a message appeared claiming my computer was infected. Shortly after, my device froze up and directed me to ring a certain number. An Asian gentleman answered, claiming to be a technician affiliated with Microsoft. However, once I mentioned that I own an Apple computer, he abruptly disconnected the call. Now my computer remains inaccessible, and I am absolutely infuriated!

My son's computer has been locked, and there’s a message indicating I need to ring a number. They claim to be from Microsoft, but the call dropped as soon as I started asking about it.

My partner's laptop suddenly got a huge alert with a nonstop voice message. Then a warning popped up saying if I closed it, the device would shut down. It claimed my Facebook and credit card info had been hacked, plus other stuff. They wanted me to call a number, so I did out of curiosity. They tried to scam me for nearly £150, but I just told them to get lost and hung up quick. I checked with the bank afterwards and thankfully no money was taken.

I got a call warning me about Microsoft and giving a number to ring back. Decided to double check by contacting Microsoft directly and was told that wasn’t one of their numbers. Restarted my PC just in case, and everything’s fine now. Not proud to admit it, but I’m from Manchester, especially after seeing what others have said about 01618189036!

I didn’t get a call at all, the whole thing just froze on my screen. What I did was move the message box over towards the top right corner, near the red exit button. Then I quickly tapped the x on the message popup first, and after that closed the page by hitting the x there too. You gotta be pretty quick tho for it to work.

Just like many of you, I dealt with the same thing. I ended up hitting ctrl+alt+delete and rebooting my Firefox to sort it out. Seriously, don’t even think about ringing that number!

Was working on my laptop when it just froze up out of nowhere and a message popped up that looked like it was from Microsoft. There was even a voice saying not to shut down the computer. I ignored it and closed it anyway. Turns out it was a scam call, so watch out for this number!

I was almost taken in by these lot, but luckily I’d already frozen my bank account so they couldn't get anything from me. Still, they keep calling non-stop and all I can do is keep blocking the numbers. Honestly, watch out for these scammers!

Apparently I had to call this number or else my computer would just stop working! Total SCAM.

I once dealt with them and they said the repairs would cost me more than £1000. Really appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts about this number!

Absolute rip off! My little sister, who just started uni, got caught up in this. They locked her uni laptop and then called her pretending something was seriously wrong. Next thing, they asked for her bank details, and she naively gave them. They ended up draining her account, though thankfully she only had a bit from her part-time job saved up, so it’s not a huge loss. Watch out, folks!

Never follow any of their requests! Just hit ctrl alt delete and shut the program down yourself.

They called me out of the blue and then wanted my bank info. I told them there’s no way I’m giving out my details, especially since they said my computer wasn’t safe. No chance I’m falling for that twice. Proper dodgy lot.

My laptop began acting up, flashing messages about viruses and telling me to ring them. Then it started talking through my speakers and wouldn’t shut down properly. I'm not sure if they’re still in my system, which is a bit worrying to be honest. If this happens to you, remember to properly close Safari by right-clicking the icon and selecting quit - just closing the window isn’t enough, it stays open in the background even if you think you’ve switched it off.

Watch out for 0808 238 0053 - total scam alert! They’re absolute crooks just out to nick your money. I recently had a pretty scary run-in with them, but luckily they didn’t get anything from me. My computer did freeze up on some dodgy screen and I had to force it to shut down and reboot. Did a quick virus scan after that and thankfully all was clean. These slimeballs really need to be caught and locked up properly, not mess about anymore.

Somebody called up claiming my laptop was infected with viruses. As soon as she started messing about on it and then asked for my bank info, I just told her flat out, no way! She got quite rude, going on about how she couldn’t sort it without payment. I just shrugged and said, well tough luck then, cheers! Absolute numpties. Avoid this number at all costs!

Some woman called telling me my laptop was full of viruses, and started poking at it right away. When she asked for my bank details, I just straight up said no! She got really rude after that, saying how’s she supposed to fix it if I’m not paying? I told her honestly, no clue, that’s just how it is, cheers and hung up! Total muppets, don’t trust that number for a second!

If you’ve stumbled upon this, chances are you’ve dealt with this bogus outfit called ‘Premium Technical Support’. I got caught up with some bloke named Gregory ;) He managed to con me, but luckily I didn’t hand over any of my bank info. Just a heads up, don’t ever share your banking details with them!

My laptop’s been hacked recently, and I haven't got a clue how to fix it now. I even rang the number, and this bloke answered, saying he was Greg. After a bit, he handed me over to another guy who said his name was Gary. Seriously, what a load of tossers. Can anyone help me get my laptop back to normal?

If a message pops up saying you've got a virus and you can't close the window or browser tabs, don't freak out. Just hit ctrl + alt + delete all together and then restart your computer. Avoid hitting escape or trying to close the popup normally. Also, stay away from that website in the future. Often these viruses are hidden right inside the webpages you're visiting. For instance, sites like primewire, which offer free movies and TV shows, often have viruses linked to many of their video links. Be careful!

Beware of this number - it’s linked to a scam where they try to hijack your browser and steal things like your Mac ID, logins, and bank details. They’ll make you call them so they can access your device remotely. If you get any messages saying something like “your computer has been blocked error # 268d3,” don’t respond or ring back. Just shut down the popup or window that showed up and be careful! Stay safe everyone.
