Pop-up on my laptop pretending to be Microsoft warning of infection.  Scam!

I just got that same warning on my laptop and I can’t get rid of it! It froze my browser

That looks a lot like a spam ad for this outfit to me.

Same here. Called the number and gave them a piece of my mind I’m not so nice words and hung up. Noices in the background sounded like an Indian sweat shop. Immediately got a call back from the same person I talked to but from a different number —855-442-2935 which is now blocked!

you can close your browser through task manager

On AOL, was able to avoid being "locked" since the pop-up blocker is active on my account. The pop-up is what prevents you from closing the browser window. Caught the link causing this:
http://159.203.190.210/msg/?c5a7b758ae751d0ft ... 855)%20593-0090#
advertising 855-593-0090. These keep changing URL's but the IP's all come from Digital Ocean. If you can capture the full URL from history, send a complaint to abuse at digitalocean.com with the link. Common IP ranges are 159.203.x.x on all three of these bogus virus warnings advertising phone number.

If you can grab the URL from history, if it starts with http://159.203.xxx.xxx.....send a complaint to abuse at digitalocean.com with the full URL.

Hmmm
