Be Aware of "Microsoft" Pop-up Message Scam

The Wheaton Police Department has received numerous recent reports from local residents who have received pop-up notifications on their computer purporting to be from Microsoft Corp. These pop-ups commonly claim the victim’s computer has been corrupted in some way and provides a telephone number to contact to resolve the issue. Once on the phone, the scammers use a number of different narratives to entice the caller into transferring funds either through bank wire transfers, Crypto currency transactions, and in rare occasions, face-to-face cash transactions.  

These scammers will often utilize a sense of urgency and leave the victim with the false feeling of time not being on their side. Anyone who instructs you to remain on the phone while you complete financial transactions or instructs you to mislead bank staff and your loved ones as to the purpose of the funds being transferred is likely engaged in criminal activity.

Please note: Federal or local law enforcement/government agencies will not contact you via telephone requesting any form of payment. Residents are encouraged not to allow anyone to remotely access their home computer.

Residents can always contact the Wheaton Police Department at 630-260-2161 to confirm the legitimacy of a request for payment or the return of funds.
