These calls are classic tech‑support scams—fraudsters pose as Microsoft or a Windows service, claim a virus, and pressure you to grant remote access. They often use spoofed IDs like “TACCESS” and rotate area codes to dodge filters. Hang up immediately, never share credentials, and block the number through your carrier or a call‑blocking app. Report persistent offenders to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency, and add the number to a Do‑Not‑Call list if possible. Stay skeptical and keep your security software updated to avoid real infections.
