Description
I was researching candidates up for election in Delaware County, PA, and was on the judicial candidates website when I clicked on an arrow and several fake screens showed up beeping on my screen and told me to call a number, which I did not. However, when I googled Microsoft, I found a number and called it, but I think it was fake because they had me on the phone forever. The "representative" gave me his number: 815-310-6974 and sent me a text which included a photo with a badge number (236152145) with a microsoft logo on it. He said he was passing my problem along to their team and then asked me to email the FTC, which I think was part of the scam. He wanted me to give them my SS number, which I would not do. Then, I hung up.
