My brother was working on a laptop when this "company" baited him with a pop up message , insisting that he contact them to remove the malware on his computer! They pretended to be affiliated with Microsoft in some partial capacity! He could not close the pop up message and he was manipulated to contact them to remove the pop up it appeared he could not close the pop up by x ing it … leading him to contact this company on the number listed. The person convinced my brother to give them money and they convinced him that they could "clean up the computer " remotely! I know the computer has antivirus, malware and spyware protection already activated and working ! This company purports to charge him close to $700… for "cleaning up his computer" and a 3 year subscription! He did not seek their services, they infiltrated his computer with the threat of malware to advertise their company and its services! They did exactly what scammers do…
