They might even spoof the caller ID, the latter displaying a legit support phone number from a well-known and credible company. In addition, they’ll, in all likelihood, ask you to install applications giving them remote access to your device. Finally, employing remote access, these experienced scammers may misrepresent normal system messages as portents of problems.

Scammers might also begin contact by displaying fake error messages on sites you visit, displaying support numbers and coaxing you to call. They may also put your browser in full-screen mode, displaying pop-up messages that won’t disappear, in all likelihood locking your browser. These fake error messages have the express goal of unsettling you into calling their “technical support hotline”.

Important: Microsoft error and warning messages do not ever include phone numbers.
