Expert Opinion
Calls from this number keep popping up with different stories—one claims to be a Microsoft refund rep, another pretends to represent a big firm, and some just hang up after a vague intro. The pattern points to classic phone scam tactics: high‑pressure demands, fake checks, or bogus tech support offers. If you get a call, let it go to voicemail, never share personal or financial info, and block the number in your phone or with a carrier service. Report persistent abuse to the FTC and consider a call‑blocking app for extra protection.
