This is obviously a scam. My computer was slowly being infected with garbage. Then I started getting directed to this page saying that I MUST call this number immediately to have the problem resolved. I called, and it was a cell phone. the guy could hardly speak English. Of course he immediately started asking for my personal information. I told him I wasn’t comfortable giving it out then he said, “why have you done something bad?” Hethen said it would cost $180.00 for him to tell me how to remove the trash THEY put on my computer to begin with. I hung up. Now I’m stuck hiring someone to fix my computer. THEY SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL!!!!!!!!
Caller: I called them. He wouldn’t tell me thw company name. Only” technical support”
