Expert Opinion
Be wary of unsolicited calls claiming urgent tech fixes—especially those mimicking major companies with obvious misspellings like 'Micrsoft.' This tactic preys on panic, often leading to malware installs or data theft via remote access. Hang up immediately if a voice or alert urges you to dial a specific number; legitimate support from firms like Microsoft never cold-calls this way. Block the number and report it to authorities like the FTC or your carrier to curb wider scams. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and verify issues directly through official channels only.
