Expert Opinion

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, these calls masquerade as Microsoft support to snag your data. They often claim a virus or a compromised computer and demand remote access, payment, or personal info. Never grant control to an unsolicited caller; instead, end the session, disconnect, and contact the official Microsoft help line through the website or app. Verify the caller’s identity by checking the official support numbers, and keep your operating system and security software up to date. Report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer‑protection agency, and educate family members about the remote access warning, the personal info trap, and the scam tactics.
