Expert Opinion
Proceed with extreme caution when receiving unsolicited calls claiming technical issues, as this matches classic tech support scam tactics. The caller posing as Microsoft likely aimed to exploit your locked computer for remote access or payment demands. Hang up immediately on such claims—never share personal info or allow remote control. Verify directly through official channels like Microsoft's website or known support numbers. Enable call blocking on your phone, register with the Do Not Call list, and consider antivirus software to prevent device vulnerabilities. Report to the FTC if pressured; staying vigilant protects against escalating fraud attempts.
