After receiving a red screen alert, she followed the instructions to call a number, although she didn't keep the number; as she's elderly, I spent several hours on the phone with her, guiding her through the events to report to Microsoft and advising her to file a police report, and we discovered that the scammers had her install Teamviewer on both her PC and cellphone.

Opinia eksperta
The analysis of the comments reveals a scam operation targeting elderly individuals, with the caller claiming to be from Microsoft. The scam involves a red screen alert and instructs the victim to call a number, which leads to the installation of Teamviewer on their devices. This allows the scammers to gain remote access and potentially install malware or ransomware. The victim is also asked to provide sensitive information, such as license details and online banking passwords. The scammers' goal is to gain control over the victim's devices and financial information, making it a serious cybercrime.

Apparently, sharing experinces about the scam on this website is the most efective way to warn others, by letting them no what to expect and avoid alot of pointless questions, sadly your mom got scamed but her story can be usefull to others by them knowing what to look out for.
An apology is offered for the post, as the intention was to assist a family member
After doing some research, i found that this number was involved in a Microsoft scam that victimsed my mother, so i was hoping to find some recent information from others.
It appears that the answer could have been easily found online, specifically on Microsoft's website. The question seems unnecessary, given the availability of this information.
if you had done a search like i just did, you would have found that someone reported reciving an email with this number, claiming to be from Geek Squad, dont know about the other number, sinc you didnt provide enought detal
I'm wondering if the numbers 850-846-3128 and 339-220-1565, ext 240, are associated with any scams.
