This is a scam. DO NOT follow any such instructions - you will be connected to a phone service with an outrageous cost.


All unsolicited phone calls, emails, messages or pop-ups saying that you have a virus, your account is compromised, or you need to contact Support are scams.


Unfortunately there's no easy way to stop these things happening. Some phone services have blocking facilities though these will have a limited effect.
