Type of a scam Counterfeit Product
I was locked out of my LinkedIn account and searched customer service phone number to help unlock the account. I called 800.592.0745 and they asked me to install Team Viewer to my computer and enter code 7890321. They took control of my computer. When I asked them to release control three times they refused. I unplugged my computer and they hung up the phone. I was concerned as they entered a pay pal address when they had control of my computer. I am concerned the number listed online for LinkedIn customer support is fraudulent. I kept asking why they had to control my computer instead of just providing a temporary password to unlock my account. I will be closely monitoring my personal accounts to ensure no fraudulent activity takes place.
