Reports on phone number 1800649546
10 yearsMy laptop got frozen with some error message and told me to ring 1800649546. I instantly guessed it was dodgy, so I shut down the whole thing and booted it up again after a bit. Later, I rang the number back and didn't hold back, gave them a proper telling off. Gotta admit, there was quite a bit of swearing involved, ha!11 yearsAvoid clicking on this dodgy link, it’s got a porn virus, and definitely don’t ring them up!11 yearsThose scams from Indian callers are just them trying to squeeze cash outta us. If you ever let them get remote access or faced this kinda problem, seriously, just reset your PC back to factory defaults. Don't keep any of their stuff or your old files on there. First, move your personal docs to a USB stick and make sure to scan them with antivirus. Only after that should you wipe your computer clean and start fresh - no leftovers, no junk. Let the system clear out everything properly.India11 yearsSo I rang this number and let them have remote access to my laptop. They then told me it would be £250, but when I said I wasn’t willing to pay, the woman with an Indian accent just ended the call and cut the connection to my MacBook Pro. Should I be worried about my safety now?11 yearsi had a similar thing happen to me. i received a message from a toll-free number and assumed it was some sort of microsoft mistake. i rang them up and ended up letting the person have remote access to my computer. luckily, the call dropped before anything happened. then it hit me that it might have been a scammer trying to hack me, so i quickly ended the call. now i’m stressing - is my laptop okay? i was connected for about 10 minutes, could my info have been compromised?Microsoft11 yearsJust a couple of days ago I got a call from some people saying my computer had viruses and there were hackers trying to break in. They asked to take control of my PC, and stupidly, I let them in. After a while, they claimed they found major threats and said I needed to pay around $300 to get everything fixed right away - they also said it would take around 45 minutes. And yeah, the voice was definitely Indian. Luckily, I told them I didn't have any money (which was true) and ended the call. After hanging up, something felt off so I googled them and found out they're scammers. I'm so glad I didn’t hand over any cash - would’ve been gutted for sure.11 yearsJust yesterday I got a call from someone claiming my computer was infected with a virus and hackers were trying to break in. They wanted to get into my computer, and I foolishly let them. After a bit they said they’d found some problems and then asked for £300 to sort it out, saying it would take about 45 minutes. The guy was Indian, as I later noticed. I told them I couldn’t pay as I had no funds, which was true, then I ended the call. Something felt off, so I looked it up online and discovered it’s a known scam. Good thing I didn’t pay - I’d be raging if I had lost money to that!11 yearsI got a warning pop up on my computer saying my system was under attack and it showed the number 1800649546. I tried calling it but nobody picked up. Can someone tell me what to do next?11 yearsGot a call that popped up as some kind of Windows alert saying my computer was infected and to call this number. They then tried to get me to pay $799 to fix it and keep it safe... total SCAM! I just ended the call and ran a virus scan myself.11 yearsI got a weird popup on Internet Explorer showing this number to ring. Panicked, I dialled it and naively let them take control of my laptop remotely. When the guy started talking about charging me £300 to fix the supposed trojan on my PC, I sussed it was a scam and hung up straight away. After that, I ran Malwarebytes and it found a couple of trojans (I’m guessing they installed them while they had control). I’ve since changed every password I use just to be safe.11 yearsHaha, happened to me too! Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent asking for $200 and remote access to my computer. Total scam, be careful!11 yearsI received a text from this number on my laptop and assumed it was Microsoft. When I called back, a guy with an Indian accent answered and said it’d take about 10 minutes, so I just ended the call.Microsoft11 yearsI had a similar experience when I received a message alerting me about a virus. They remotely accessed my computer and claimed they found 253 devices connected to my internet. They offered to sort it out but insisted on charging me $500 for the service.11 yearsJust got a message saying my computer's infected with some kind of adult content virus and I need to call that number to sort it out. Seems a bit dodgy to me!11 yearsA message suddenly appeared on my screen, so I decided to ring the number back. A man with an Indian accent answered, asked me a few things, and then wanted me to give him access to my computer. I told him I wasn’t comfortable and said I’d get back to him later, but obviously, I didn’t.11 yearsRight now there’s someone on my laptop, can’t believe it.11 yearsThis number pretended to be a Microsoft support line. I actually fell for it and called them. A guy with an Indian accent answered and transferred me to someone claiming to be a 'Citrix Tech' who said my computer was at risk. My PC wasn’t even at risk. They then tried to charge me £800 for a fix. After that, I contacted a different, genuine support service who accessed my computer, sorted out the mess, and charged me £200 for the repair plus a year’s ongoing support. Please keep flagging this number to stop it from scamming others.MicrosoftCitrixSubmit Your Own Report (01800 649546)
