Whose number is this. It keeps popping up on my mac

This number purports to be Apple support trying to get money to unlock your browser If this ever happens just quit Safari and restart it holding down the shift key. easier than paying hundreds of dollars to scammers

Thank you!!!!!  It fixed my Mac - easily.

On mac

These are scammers trying to get our information. Now they want to send you remote control your computer by redirecting you to another website. Be careful people.

I just received a call from this number and as soon as i told him my father in law is a software engineer that insisted on looking at my mac before doing anything the man quickly wanted to end the conversation.

Wow , thank you so much , totally saved me money and time. Was going to just buy a new MacBook.

Just received this pop up to call the number and the pop up wouldn't go away so I called the number.  Couldn't understand a word the guy was saying other than it was a "support" function and he wanted to have permission to get into my computer.  When I told him no and asked what support he was with he hung up.  No that is some serious support!  :)  Don't fall for this!!

Wow thanks for the advice

its a scam!!! the person who created this pop up should be shot!

Be Really Careful with this People they send a pop up to your computer stating that your computer has been compromised and they are Apple to call immediately....They catch you by surprise because they sound so legitimate and they scare you telling you that there is foreing activity going on the computer...then they send you to their partners in crime a company called Square Techno that scares you some more and takes $200 from you....I had to cancel my creditcard and called Apple they checked my computer to make sure they cant reaccess my computer. Total Fraud. I hope my Identity is safe. Anyone that has anything else that can help me please share

I so agree....I tried calling and cursed them out. THey got scared THat i was onto them ....THey keep hanging up

Thank you for saving me time money and headache, David!!!

I just called this # and talked to a guy and opened up the application and he entered my computer. WHAT DO I DO????? He was on for at least 10 min showing me stuff and explaining things to me. PLEASE HELP

Alex, same here.. I don't use my computer that much, but I did give them access. What should I do. Already cancelled CC but what else

Friend of mine was scammed.  She thought she was talking to Apple support.  Gave her credit card number.  Company is  called Square Technologies in India.  If you're scammed, call Apple's real toll free number,  800-275-2273.

David - Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
   Yeah, someone should find this person who did this and then shoot them.  If you let me know where they exist I can always help with the existence part or lack thereof!

these [***]  scumbags should be shot dead  and then  revived  and  tortured again for hours ......IT  IS  A  SCAM   DONT BE AN [***] ........JUST RESTART YOUR BROWSER  AND  THE  POP UP BOX WILL BE GONE .....RESTART HOLDING SHIFT KEY ....
