Expert Opinion

Take heed of repeated silent calls followed by a robotic goodbye – it’s a hallmark of the dreaded tech support scam. These callers often claim to be from Microsoft or Windows, cite nonexistent viruses and ask for details about your computers. Never share personal or login information, and hang up immediately if the caller cannot verify their identity. Use your phone’s built‑in call‑blocking features or a reputable third‑party app to silence the number. Report persistent offenders to your network provider and, where possible, to local consumer‑protection agencies. Staying sceptical and ending the call early are your best defences against fraud.
