Never return the call—let the scammer hang up. The recorded voice you hear is a classic robocall that pretends to be Microsoft support and threatens an automatic deduction of $299‑$399 unless you call back. Since the caller never provides a verifiable ID, the safest move is to block the number and never give personal or financial details. Verify any alleged Microsoft alerts by signing into your account directly or contacting official support numbers listed on Microsoft’s website. Report the incident to the FTC and your phone carrier, and consider using a call‑blocking app to filter similar scams.
