Expert Opinion

Block the number right away to prevent further interruptions. These calls are classic tech‑support scams: the caller claims a virus or error on your computer, uses a heavy accent, and tries to get remote access or payment info. Never grant access to anyone who calls unsolicited, and don’t share personal data. Hang up as soon as the script starts, then report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier. Consider adding the caller to your Do‑Not‑Call list and using a call‑blocking app. Stay skeptical of any “IT department” offering free fixes, especially if they pressure you to act fast.
