My experience is similar to others; despite not owning a Microsoft device, I've noticed a significant decrease in scam calls this year, with only 2 or 3 calls per week. It's likely that forums like this one are making scamming less profitable.
Is This Windows Scam Still Roaming Your Phone?
Summary — +13192252014
Expert Opinion
Like a broken thermostat that keeps blowing hot air, this robo‑voice loop warns you that your Windows PC is infected, then pushes you to press 1. The pattern is unmistakable: a recorded female (or synthetic) voice cites a non‑existent virus, threatens data loss, and forces you to call back. Hang up, block the number, and never give personal info. Report the call to your carrier’s spam‑stop service and, if you’re uneasy, file a complaint with the FTC. Keep your operating system updated, use reputable antivirus software, and educate household members—especially seniors—about these Windows‑related scams and the danger of unsolicited tech support calls.
