My PC is hacked - eviltoast

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

      I don’t for someone who scams someone else and thinks they can apply the exact scenario to the person on the line.

      This isn’t a scenario where someone outran a slower person to let a tiger eat them.

      They brought the tiger TO THEM full well knowing they are too slow to run.
