Windows 10: Just got a phone call about a security breach and asked me to hit 9 or call an 800 number....

Just got a phone call informing me of a security breach, advised me to hit 9 or call an 800 number and refrain from any banking or credit card transactions. I hung up. Scam?

Bogus Security Breach Calls/Notices

I keep getting phone calls that use my telephone ID and phone numbers with a recording saying it's from Microsoft and that my IP address and license key have been breached by foreign countries. I'm then asked to press the number 1 key for help with
the security breach. What is going on? How can I be sure when it's not from Microsoft? Thank you!

 

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.
