Expert Opinion

Around sunrise, dozens of users reported a call from +1 602‑483‑1919 claiming to be from Microsoft and warning that their computer was compromised. The recorded message typically asks you to press 1, grant remote access, or share personal information like Social Security numbers. These are classic tech‑support scams; legitimate companies never ask for such access over the phone. Hang up immediately, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Consider using call‑blocking apps and never install software or give passwords to unsolicited callers. Verify any alleged alerts by contacting the official company through a known website or phone number.
