Microsoft Warning Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP

Hello, how are you to publish in our microsoft community? I am here to help you solve your problem

I send you the following information I hope I help you

The bogus “Microsoft Warning Alert” alert is shown in such a way as to trick the user into thinking their computer has crashed or that a virus has been detected on the computer. It does this to try and scare the infected user into calling one of the listed
numbers in order to receive support. In reality, though, they will only be greeted with people who are trying to sell them unneeded support contracts and services

Whenever you see something like this in your browser:”Danger! Warning! Brace yourself! Your computer has a serious virus!”–rest assured — you don’t have anything to worry about. This is just a scamming trick, a treacherous attempt to scare an unexperienced
Edge user. Back in the days, Google Chrome and Mozilla were frequently affected by these phishing pop-ups freezing the screen but added security measures almost completely eliminated them. On the other hand, Microsoft Edge is still susceptible to that kind
of malicious pop-ups.

**Microsoft Warning Alert** scam

I was on my computer this afternoon reading through new feeds when a **Microsoft Warning Alert** screen popped up. It stated that a "Mal1cious P0rn0graphic Spyware/Riskware Detected Error #0x80072ee7 and "to please call us immediately at: 1-877-644-0337.
The warning continued to tell me that "if you close this page, your computer access will be disabled to prevent further damage to our network." I called the number provided on the "Microsoft"-looking website that was provided. Of course, I was lead down
the rabbit hole to a final request for a scanned check in the sum of $200. Please be careful with these hackers! I told the Indian accent on the other end that this whole process sounded suspicious. He became defensive, so I hung up and called the 1-877 #
provided on the Official Microsoft website and reported the scam.
