    Fake Security Breach Phonecalls


    I keep getting these phone calls from people with Indian accents claiming to be Micrsoft Security technicians calling to clear up a breach in my computer's security. I just got a call at 4:49 pm 2.4.19 from 1-800-892-5234. They keep calling from different numbers. I know this is a scam but WHAT IS MICROSOFT DOING ABOUT THIS? I never hear of anyone being apprehended or prosecuted. Is anything at all being done? I've just given you the phone number they just used. Will anyone follow up and investigate these criminals or do Microsoft consumers have to endure this abuse indefinitely? How can we get our info out of their hands? How did it get there in the first place?

    Security Breach / Hacking Windows 10

    I keep getting a phone call every time I get on my computer that says I have a security breach and something about I need to call a 855 number and when I do I am told that I will have to pay money to them to remove the breach... This smells like a scam
    to me.
