Expert Opinion

Calls from this number claim your computer has a virus or that you owe Microsoft fees, even though you never signed up for any service. That pattern matches typical spoofing scam where attackers mask the caller ID to look like a reputable brand. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately, never share personal or payment info, and block the number on your phone. Verify any alleged billing by logging into your official Microsoft account or contacting Microsoft support through the website—not the phone number that called you. Report the incident to your carrier and consider adding the number to a do‑not‑call list.
