A pop‑up on my laptop urged me to dial a number, which I did, only to discover it was an Indian scam attempt.
Laptop Pop-Up Scam: Don't Call Back
Summary — +611800311835
Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this call preys on tech worries with fake alerts. Pop-up messages on laptops falsely claim threats, urging contact to a number posing as Microsoft support—classic scam tactics from overseas fraudsters. Victims often face demands for remote access or payments to 'fix' nonexistent issues. Hang up immediately if you get such a call; never share personal info or allow screen control. Report to authorities like the FTC or your local consumer agency, and use antivirus software to block pop-ups. Stay vigilant to safeguard your devices and data.
