Scam call reported by Clare
This is a scam call designed to defraud you out of money for fixing a malware fault the scammers have created. EVIL PEOPLE!! Run full anti-virus scan and use CCleaner (freeware) to identify and remove any new software. Post results on sites like this. The evil scammers operate from countries with weak and corrupt governments and police, so do not expect much support from your local cops.

Green line? (Other) reported by MikeOne
This number is a green line, probably for some company as a client's service number where the call is paid by the company itself. Haven't found which company owns this number, has anyone seen it before?

I actually had to call the number 0800 0885560 after a message came up on my computer saying that there was a possibility my computer might be compromised. the message advises i should call that number and get it sorted. I then called the number a guy answered the call professionally background sounded like a call center. i explained to the guy the reason i was calling then he wanted me to give him details about my computer so he can gain access from where he is and fix the problem...... I refused to do that because wasn't show if i should, after he told me because my computer is out of warrant i will be charged for the service provided meaning i was going to give my details again.... he told me they will take only 1p from my account as charge for services which i found very suspicious.

You fell for the pop up. They want you to call. If you hear your computer talking to you saying call this number or visit this website etc it is a scam. Windows will not talk to you asking for these to be done.
If you hear it in the future just close the window :)

Just happened with me the same and even I've tried my laptop has been totally blocked so I had to call that number. Luckily didn't believed him but to be sure (as I m not sure how long he was hacking on my laptop) I have cancelled my card and changed all my passwords. And then factory reset the laptop. Will call the Microsoft tomorrow as he said he was calling the behalf of them.

I called them 4 times. All Indian guys. One of them was called Fred, the other David and the most recent Alex. (Suspicious names for Indians btw LOL) The more I called the more experience and skill I developed in how to speak with them. My last call was so funny. After sympathising with the guy, pretending I'm from his country being friendly etc. (To see if he would still scam someone like that) I suddenly confess that I know what he's doing and he starts throwing insults at me lol. I asked him why he's taking people's money, he says. "I take people's money so I can take your mother out on dates" LOL! In the end I gave him my number (to which he still hasn't called me, the chicken, yes chicken, I don't swear I'm Muslim) to see if he was man enough to say it to my face, I have saved their number and will report it to the police, do the same guys, the more reports the more the police will take it seriously

The message popped up on my computer, so I called the number and as we were having problems they called me back but it consisted so they said shut down and they will call back. So I restarted and everything was ok. I did a clean disk and ran anti virus. They did call back and I said problem was solved and they called again this morning saying that they were from Microsoft and my computer was showing that it was infected but then I haven't been using it.
