    Watch for fake "tech support" numbers

    Scammers buy ads in search results that pretend to be Apple, Microsoft, or your bank. The phone numbers in this directory come directly from each company\'s official .com or .gov website. If a number you find online does not match the one here, do not call it. Real Apple, Microsoft, and Google never display a phone number in a pop-up window.

    All numbers verified against the listed company\'s or agency\'s official website as of May 2026. Hours of operation can change — call to confirm current availability.
