Recent spikes in complaints show this number is repeatedly used for tech‑support scams. Callers spoof a Microsoft identity, use heavy Indian accents, and claim your PC is infected to pressure you into remote access or payment. Never grant remote control or share personal info, and hang up immediately. Report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier, and consider adding it to your block list. If you’re unsure, let the call go to voicemail and verify any claims directly with the official vendor. Keep software updated and use reputable anti‑malware tools to stay protected.

Similarly, Melissa, i recieved two calls at 7:50 this morning!! The first one was a foreign woman with very poor english skillz! She just keep repeating herself over and over, asking me if I had a computer that runs windows. I hang up on her after telling her that if she was legit, she should have her supervisor call me.
