Type of a scam Phishing
I was looking for a tech support for my new NETGEAR Range Extender. Official website didn’t provide me with a customer support number, so I searched for a customer support phone numbers via google. I found 1800 number and called. Person with Indian accent introduced himself as Netgear support and requested access to my laptop via LogMein. He sounded legit and I grunted support and administrator privileges. The person started talk **, tried to change my router password and access codes and tried selling me some kind of software while hacking my computer. I asked for a supervisor and he hung up. Clearly it was some phishing/ hacking scheme posing as a legit Netgear support. Phone number in the add was 18779886435.
