These calls represent a classic tech support scam, where fraudsters impersonate Microsoft to frighten users into believing their computer is infected or locked by ransomware. The persistent bleeping or warnings are tactics to create urgency and panic, prompting calls to this number for fake fixes that often involve remote access or payments. Evidence from multiple reports confirms no legitimate connection to Microsoft or antivirus firms like McAfee. Hang up immediately if you receive such calls—never share personal details or allow remote access.
