A guy calling claiming to be from Microsoft Support stating that my account was compromised and someone tried to login from a different device and wanted authorization to help with my account. Sent me an account password reset code.
I said I'd get in contact with Microsoft directly.
"Microsoft will never proactively reach out to you to provide unsolicited PC or technical support. If you receive a phone call claiming to be from Microsoft, or see a pop-up window on your PC with a fake warning message and a phone number to call and get your “issue” fixed, it’s better to be safe and not click any links or provide any personal information.
Never call a number provided in an error message. Real Microsoft error messages never include a phone number to call."
