10 yearsI experienced a similar situation today. I contacted customer service because I received an email that seemed suspicious, claiming that I had approved an unauthorized charge. This made me concerned about the possibility of my computer being infected. I made the mistake of allowing them to access my laptop, but I didn't provide them with my credit card information and quickly ended the call. Luckily, it seems like my accounts are unaffected so far, but as a precautionary measure, I will be changing the passwords for all of them. Hopefully, this information is useful to you!10 yearsI too experienced a similar situation. When I confronted them and mentioned that it was a scam, an individual of Indian descent responded by saying, "If you think it's a scam, why are you even calling me?"

The message falsely claims to be from Microsoft!Microsoft10 yearsBefore answering the phone, I could hear other voices in the background chatting. On the line, was an Indian gentleman who proceeded to ask me various intrusive questions regarding my age, computer model, and the content I was searching online.

To address this issue, I needed to allow them access to my computer, as instructed by an irremovable popup. The popup threatened to shut down my device if I didn't call a specific number within five minutes. Reluctantly, I made the call and was connected to someone with a strong accent amidst overwhelming background noise. Realizing it was likely a scam, I engaged with the individual briefly to remove the popup before promptly ending the call. They directed me to a non-Microsoft-affiliated website and instructed me to enter a nine-digit code, purportedly for them to gain control of my computer and "resolve" the problem.Microsoft10 yearsI received a message instructing me to call a particular number as my computer appeared to be blocked.
