Expert Opinion

Looks like a classic tech‑support scam targeting users with fake Microsoft alerts. The callers pressure you to call a local number and demand cash to 'fix' a non‑existent problem, often claiming your PC is frozen or infected. Hang up immediately, never share personal or payment info, and verify any alerts by contacting the official Microsoft support line directly. Use a reputable antivirus scan and keep your OS updated to reduce exposure. Report the number to local authorities or telecom fraud units to help block future attempts.
