These calls are classic remote‑access scams that flood users with bogus computer‑security alerts. Scammers usually spoof a local area code, use a thick accent, and pressure you to grant remote control or pay for a bogus fix. Never install software or share credentials with an unsolicited caller, and hang up immediately. If the number keeps calling, add it to your phone’s block list, report it to the FCC’s Do Not Call registry, and consider a call‑blocking app. Document the timestamps and any recorded messages in case you need to file a complaint with your carrier or local law enforcement.
