    HELP IM GETTING SCAMMED!!


    Hello I traded account with someone I know irl thinking they'd be cool, but when i try to log onto my account, I see

    We know you have been waiting

    The change in security info you requested on 9/10/2019 will be completed on 10/10/2019. But don't worry, during the waiting period you can still sign in and use your Microsoft account normally.
    If you didn't request this, let us know.

    If you'd like to keep your current security info, you can cancel this request.


    The problem is, i cant use my account normally, and when i do it takes me back to this page...


    when i try to cancel, the only way i can cancel is to verify with my phone number, but the phone number provided isnt mine its a number i dont recognize, and i cant change it to the right phone number as i cant get into my security info without verifying by phone number. I have changed my password to something very secure by verifying my account by email, but i still cant access my account info without verifying my phone number. Is there any way i can use the email i used to sign up to microsoft with?

    Thanks!


    :)

    help us out to get rid of the scam

    That was a scam. You either visited a dubious web site, clicked on a dubious link, or otherwise triggered the scam message.

    Never call phone numbers that appear in a message that suggests that you have a computer problem.
    Never respond to cold calls for a "Windows" or "Microsoft" technician who suggests that your computer is having (or causing) a problem. These are
    ALL scams.

    At this point, just open and finish your document. Don't open Chrome until you are finished.

    What antimalware software is installed on your computer?

    Download and run the free trial of Malwarebytes:
    https://www.malwarebytes.com/


    If the message reappears when you re-start Chrome, your computer is infected with malware and you will have to take further steps to clean things up.
