    is 1-833-809-6386 a Microsoft service number?

    Had a pop up screen that locked my computer. I called the number on the screen but didn’t provide any info other than my computer model number. Now what?

    Suffered a hacking attempt - where my screen was locked and a number popped up saying it was from Microsoft and that I had a virus. My mouse was locked up. Also, the screen gave a number to call. I called the number , but only told them my model number on my computer. Got a number from them and a contact code number for the individual (woman) - that part seemed almost legit (then I hung up). Now what?

    BTW . If you call the number that popped onto my screen you can still get a real person. 833 289-0081. Thought that was odd.

    I haven’t tried the other number that the original contact person gave me: 760-498-3496. Code- 8893. Who are these people?
