Re: CRITICAL ALERT ...
Posted by Carolyn Bodley of CO on 9/26/21 6:34pm Msg #635389
About 6 years ago, something very similar happened. It was the same time the IRS scammers were calling saying they were sitting across the street. I didn’t do anything at that time with the computer (turning it off, calling number, etc.).I don’t recall if I used my phone or another computer to look at the Microsoft site. It was a malicious program with specific instructions on how to remove. There were 2 or 3 places I had to remove stuff from. Once I got it all off, I ran a virus check 3 times making sure everything was gone. I googled the number and it came up with all kinds of scam information.

Anytime a phone number flashes across your screen or unexpected email or text, Google it before doing anything.
