Oddly enough, dozens of households report relentless calls from a number claiming Windows support. These calls typically masquerade as Microsoft tech assistance, demand you power on a computer, and quickly turn abusive if you question them. The pattern suggests a coordinated scam aimed at extracting personal data or installing malware. To protect your privacy, never grant remote access to unknown callers and hang up immediately. Register your number with the TPS, but also ask your provider to block the prefix. Keep a log of call times and content; this can aid police reports. Finally, consider using call‑screening apps and educate vulnerable family members about the hallmarks of fraudulent tech support calls.
