Surrey Police have issued a community update warning residents to be cautious of scammers taking advantage of ongoing issues affecting Microsoft users.

Scammers often thrive in situations where users may be vulnerable or distracted. If you receive unsolicited calls or messages, especially those requesting passwords or other sensitive information, be alert to the possibility of a scam.

The advice from authorities is to take a moment to stop and think before responding. Verify that the contact is genuine if you are unsure.
