Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a call every few hours from someone claiming to be Microsoft tech support, warning you about a virus that doesn’t exist. Those calls are classic tech‑support scams that rely on fear and familiarity. Never share personal or payment info with an unsolicited caller, and don’t grant remote access to your computer. Hang up, add the number to your phone’s block list, and consider a third‑party call‑blocking app. Report the number to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to your carrier’s spam‑filter service. If the calls keep coming, register your line with the National Do Not Call Registry for added protection.
