Expert Opinion
Bottom line: these calls are a classic Windows Defender scam, designed to trick you into downloading bogus software or handing over personal data. The callers claim the product costs money and push you to click mysterious links, even mimicking official support tones. Stay skeptical, never click unsolicited links, and don’t share passwords or payment info. Hang up if the request feels off, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your phone carrier. Verify any claim directly through the official Microsoft website or app, and consider using call‑blocking tools to reduce future unwanted contacts.
