    "Windows Security Alert" - scam??


    I received an email, allegedly from MS Official Windows Support, reporting a variety of suspicious actions on my account and asking that I contact Windows Support immediately. I think it's a scam. There's an 844-486-2888 number to call. I plan to ignore it. Any feedback?
