AI Summary
Based on 1 community report
This Blackburn number has been reported as a Microsoft Defender scam. The caller claimed to have detected a problem and locked the computer, then demanded remote access to unlock it. This is a classic tech support scam tactic—Microsoft will never lock your computer or call you unsolicited about security issues. These scammers use fake lock screens and alarm messages to create panic, then pressure victims into granting remote access so they can steal passwords, financial details, or install malware. If you receive a similar call, hang up immediately. Never give anyone remote access to your computer, and remember that genuine Microsoft support contacts you only if you've requested it. Contact Microsoft directly through their official website if you're concerned about your device.
