I had the same experience Purported message from Microsoft that Computer was infected by Trojan virus. Rang number and spoke to Indian? Who directed me to perform certain procedures, said it was beyond his expertise and passed me to another Indian? Who said the computer was badly compromised and I would have to have an expert to deal with it and it would cost me. At this point I realised it was a scam and terminated the call.
I clicked on a message in Facebook Messenger and a screen opened saying to call Microsoft Support on this number.
Obviously I had my doubts so I googled the number and found it to be a scam.
This number just came through on FaceBook messaging: 'Your Computer is locked down [security invasion]... Do not shut down or restart... Call (08) 7160 3149...".
Supposedly from Microsoft Security, and accompanied by loud beeping / alarm sounds that one can't turn off.
Resolution: turned sound off and reset my FaceBook p/word, closed other FB page, and all cleared.
I think it is a phishing site.
Asking me to call this number to get technical support for Microsoft as I have a Trojan virus.
Phishing site asking to call.
08 7160 3149 for MS technical support.
