Good Morning,

today morning contact me someone from IT Microssoft support and informed me that in my personal PC was found some malware (if I understand correctly).
What is necessary to do ? or was it really someone from your company ?

(it was phone number +421 954 946 508)

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Best Regards

    Hello Marek,

    This is a (very well known) scam of this type: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_support_scam.

    The "caller id" (telephone number) of the caller is not reliable - it can be faked.

    Hello,

    Microsoft never calls you to fix your system. It's obviously a tech support scam. Do not call that number and block it.

    Hi,

    Please be informed only when you raise an IT ticket to seek for help and prefer a phone call to discuss the issue, will the microsoft IT team call you. Otherwise, there will be no such phone call from Microsoft.
