Just received a alleged Microsoft alert regarding a virus that may be posting detail of credit /debit cards details to hackers.

Gave a phone number to call and what amounts to a threat, " call this number now or we will be forced to disable your computer to prevent damage to our systems.

Any ideas if this is fact or is it a " ransom " threat.
