The caller, who sounded like he was on a cell phone in a moving vehicle, had an Indian accent, and when I told him to stop scamming me, he hung up abruptly.

Summary — +17172185737
Expert Opinion
Like a pop‑up warning on a computer, these calls try to scare you into action. Callers from +17172185737 consistently pose as Windows tech support, using names like Alex or Jason and an Indian accent to claim errors or refunds. The script mirrors classic tech‑support scam: urgency, fear, and a request for remote access or payment. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never grant control to an unknown party. Report the call to the FTC and your phone carrier. Keep a log of repeat attempts and share it on scam‑watch forums so others stay alert.
