01224 980361 Negative Who called me from this phone number?

Thanks for the guidance. Same occurred to me today. Switching off & on again got the same screen, supposedly Microsoft lock with number to call. Control+Alt+Delete cleared it, Then shut-down, restart & scan - now OK

Appeared on a window in my computer saying it was Microsoft and after I found this thread here I disconnected the computer and connect again without a problem

My computer got frozen with big alerts, claimed to be from Microsoft and gave this number to call! Once I search the number and realised it was a scam a switch from the mains, when switched back on worked just fine. Did a security scan just in case , no viruses found. B...tards!

My computer is now locked. I cannot access anything on it. Obviously, I will not call the 'fraud line' on 01224 980361. Any ideas are welcome.

Claims to be Microsoft. Switch pc off.

Same here, my techie says just turn computer off and on again and it clears the pop up. Seems to have worked.

Claimed to be Microsoft Security Services. Locked my computer. Claimed Windows Defender Warning Alert System found spyware. Says don’t switch off. I noticed the https in the lower bottom of screen. Didn’t say Microsoft soo pulled the plug on my pc. It re booted from the lock out and did a smart scan on my Norton membership. No Trojan virus found. No virus found and no damage. This number must be a scam. Be careful. Don’t ring.

Message appeared on my computer and wouldn't go away. Finally turned it off and on again and so far its ok

Claimed to lock my computer - phoned this number - obviously swicthed to an oversea line - when an asian guy answered, I said I wanted to know if this was a scam - and the phone line went dead. Switched off my PC and switched it on again and it worked fine.
