Is This Windows Support Call a Scam?
Summary — +12156939921
Expert Opinion
Beware any unsolicited call claiming your PC has a Windows license issue or imminent shutdown. Scammers often masquerade as Microsoft support, use an Indian accent, and pressure you with urgent fees—often $90 for a bogus renewal. Never grant remote access or provide payment info to unknown callers. Verify legitimacy by hanging up and calling the official Microsoft support line directly. Use reputable antivirus software and keep your system updated to reduce vulnerability. If you suspect a scam, report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier. Staying skeptical and double‑checking credentials protects you from costly fraud.
