Expert Opinion
Based on the user comments, it appears that the caller is a scammer posing as a Microsoft support representative, using spoofed calls to trick people into giving them access to their computers. The scam involves a pop-up screen or alert claiming that the person's computer or account has been compromised, and that they need to call the provided number to fix the issue. The scammers then try to phish for sensitive information or gain remote access to the computer. The fact that the caller asks people to log into their computer and then holds for long periods suggests that they are trying to install malware or gain control of the device.
