Expert Opinion

Recent reports show callers from this number repeatedly claim to be Windows support. Most victims describe a pre‑recorded or broken‑English script that warns of a virus, tax fraud, or legal trouble unless you call back. The pattern matches the classic scam where fraudsters spoof a familiar brand to harvest personal info or extract payment. Hang up immediately, never grant remote access, and avoid pressing any prompts. Block the number on your phone and add it to any spam‑filter list. Report the incident to the FTC or your state consumer agency, and consider a call‑blocking app for extra protection.
