Windows 10: Edge / Hacking

This is the 2nd incident in less then 30 days I've had someone send a security alert while I was on Edge searching site, locking me out of the internet. The hack says call 1 832 241 6596 to have the system unlocked. Can you chases these folks down and prevent them from on going scams of this nature? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Microsoft Edge Hacked


I have some malware that has hacked my Edge browser. It says my computer has been attacked by a virus and there is a verbal computer based warning about this attack. There is no way I can close it other than going to task manager. When I restart Edge it starts up on the same page. Is there some way of starting Edge without it going to this site? It seems my start page has been hacked. I have been using it and getting used to it but now have reverted back to Firefox until I get this fixed.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
