Windows 10: Security message

My window was blocked and the message said to unblock the window I have to call security Microsoft support at +448081695196. on the phone, the Asian guy asks me to download 9190.org and follow his steps with the security code. He was asking some questions about my banking that makes me feel that something is strange ... I asked him from what organization he is calling me but he turned off the phone. Looks like it is spam now

Gmail "Critical security alert" message, hacking attempt blocked (long post)

your likkely not going to , so, just deal with your end, and thats about it. Google doesnt log failed log in attempts, so there is no record of it, other than the message. its security worked, just take the steps and your done.

That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

This is not true, it depends how and when you used 2FA. I never get security tokens from Google, I just get an email notification asking if it was me with a button to click, and only if the IP / device used is not in the registered devices list on the account.

That said, if you get these kinds of messages, it means someone knows your password and you need to change that on ALL accounts you have, not just Google.
