threat detection

Good morning, I have received voice mail on my phone - an iPhone - from (877)238-2282 stating the call is from Microsoft support and claiming that a threat has been detected on my windows device and to contact them asap. This clearly sounds like a phishing attempt. Have you had others like this?

The telephone call is 100% bogus! If they call back again, tell them you have an Apple computer and they'll hang-up and never call back again.
