Beware of the new Microsoft licensing scam.She’s Wired has received multiple calls over the last few weeks about a new scam using the Microsoft brand. Those affected receive a call or text saying their Microsoft Licensing Key is set to expire unless they call a number. They are then directed to a website which gives the scammer access to their computer.

If you get any calls, texts, or emails from someone you don’t know claiming to be from Microsoft, it may be a part of this scam!

As always, She’s Wired is happy to answer any questions about how to protect yourself from scams and to provide checks of your computers, phones, tablets, and smart home devices to make sure you’re operating safely.
