My laptop froze and pop up screen came up, claiming that my laptop was hacked and to call a certain to number to get it fixed. It seemed legit so I called. They knew my name and ip address and asked me if they could remotely access my laptop and show me what was going on with it. Then they claimed they could fix it with their tech support and I unfortunately complied. 399$ lost. Beware.
