The Springfield Police Department is warning Microsoft computer users of a scam involving fake error messages.
A pop-up window will appear, claiming it’s
from Microsoft.
The “error” message then tells users to call a specific number
for assistance.
Police say not to call this number, as Microsoft will never display pop-ups urging you to dial them.
Instead, Springfield Police suggest you do the following: Exit the pop-up window by clicking the “X” in the corner or by using the task manager; they are warning everyone not be fooled by any fake “X” buttons or links within the pop-up.
