    scam need to change password

    Complete scam.

    • Contact your financial institutions and tell them you were the victim of a scam and follow their recommendations
    • Clean install Windows 10 so that it formats and erases everything on your computer
    • Change all on-line passwords

    Victim of a fake Microsoft scam I think

    Yes, they could have that data.

    I would contact your banks and tell them you were the victim of a scam and what would they suggest you do.

    From another machine you should change your passwords.

    To be sure, you should do a clean install of your operating system on your machine.
