Is This Microsoft Tech Support a Scam?

Expert Opinion
Block unknown numbers right away to reduce nuisance calls. When a caller claims to be from Microsoft or any tech giant, ask for a callback number and verify it on the official website before sharing any info. Never grant remote access to strangers; legitimate support never initiates unsolicited connections. If the call sounds like a scam—pressure tactics, vague error reports, or threats to shut down your internet—hang up and report the number to your carrier or the FTC. Keep a log of repeated calls; patterns can help filter future spam and protect your devices.
