Microsoft Phone Scam

Microsoft does not call to update your software.

 

Recently a client contacted us saying that Microsoft called them because their software was out of date and vulnerable. This seemed suspicious, and rightly so, because Microsoft does not call about your software. Quite honestly, unless you have registered software, like Windows or Office, Microsoft does not even know who you are or your phone number. Calls like these from "Microsoft" are a scam.

 

So it is good to be suspicious and when faced with situations like these always reach out to your IT professional.
