phone scams

Phone scams are a persistent threat that Windows users should be aware of, as they often involve deceptive tactics like the One Ring scam, where a missed call from an unknown number prompts a costly callback. Another variation is the delayed disconnect scam, which tricks victims into thinking a call has ended while still connected. Tech support scams, where callers impersonate Microsoft support, are also common. These scams exploit curiosity and trust, making it important to avoid returning calls to unknown numbers and to hang up on suspicious callers. Staying informed about these schemes helps protect personal information and finances.
