Type of a scam Tech Support
A man with a heavy Indian accent name "Steve Parker" called claiming to be from Computer Tech Support telling me my computer was sending signals to their servers that it was being hacked and I needed to go to my computer right away so he could help me stop it. I knew immediately this was a scam so I engaged the caller to see how far he would take it. I made it clear I knew this was a scam but he kept trying. He said I needed to verify my computer license number and he would walk me through some diagnostics to take care of the problem. He knew I had a MAC operating system. No fee was mentioned, but I figured either it would come, or he would do something bad to my computer. After asking him a bunch of questions, refusing to do what he asked and pushing back on him, he threatened to "block" my computer so that it would crash and I would have to go buy a new computer. I asked to talk to his manager (just for kicks) and I proceeded to push back on him as well. At a certain point I asked him "who are you"? He replied "I am your father" and proceeded to tell me all the sexual things he did to my mother and how he was going to do them to me. It was very explicit. I hung up. They had given me a phone number, which I called back to see if it was real and they answered. I hung up. They called me right back and I did not answer. I then blocked that number from my phone. I looked them up online and found what looks to be a legit website with a different phone number. I called that number and got another Indian sounding man. I hung up. This company is disgusting.
