Expert Opinion

Late evenings, a handful of users report repeated calls from +16497789632. The callers claim to be Microsoft technical support, but the tone and origin—often traced to Turks and Caicos—match common scam patterns. They ask for remote access or personal credentials, which can lead to identity theft or financial loss. Hang up immediately, avoid sharing any personal information, and consider adding the number to your phone’s block list. Report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer‑protection agency, and keep a log of dates and details in case further action is needed. Staying vigilant reduces risk.
