888-310-0020

Recorded message informing me that $399 would be deducted from "my account" unless I  called number and cancelled my computer support which I don't have. Hang up.

Received a message saying that  $299 would be deducted from my account unless I called this number to unsubscribe to the computer service subscription ( which I don't have).  When you call you get music, then a recorded message telling you to wait, then eventually a "good bye" and hang up.

Warning! This is a Tech Support Scam number!

Listen to message

Never allow anyone  Remote Access unless you know them to be reputable and you contacted them first! Scammers can lock you out and hold your computer ransom with Syskey (Microsoft SAM Lock Tool).

Help spread the word and prevent someone from becoming a victim.

Fact:

• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your online server called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you with a message about your computer having illegal activity, is a SCAMMER.
• Apple will never, ever call you about alleged suspicious iCloud activity.
• ANY Tech Support Warning pop-ups you get while accessing the internet asking you to call a number or visit a website, is from a SCAMMER.
• Web Browsers DO NOT have the ability to determine and warn you your computer has an error. They can only warn you about a potential malicious website. A Browser is software that allows you to surf the Internet, not diagnose a computer or phone.
• ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.
• Nobody could possibly know if your computer or devices have an issue unless you tell them or gave them access.
• Tech Support companies DO NOT call or email to give out refunds because they are "going out of business", or to "cancel a subscription".  Companies DO NOT give refunds unless they have to.
• Companies DO NOT call to inform you that your subscription will be charged if you don't call back, only SCAMMERS do that. If you have a subscription with someone, they automatically charge you until you cancel it and they don't give a refund.
• Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.
• 3rd party Tech services DO NOT include Email account repairing or password resetting, since they can not access the email server unless it belongs to them.

Never trust a caller who wants to "help your computer" for any reason (unless you contacted them first), as they are only going to scam you. If you need Tech Support, you should contact a reputable local service.

Same as others, told my Microsoft subscription was expiring and $299 would be deducted from my account. I have no subscription and will not call back.

Recd a call from 888 310 0020 stating "Microsoft will deduct $299 from your account and cancel your account if you do not respond"

Same message about $299 refund...

Same as others, told my subscription was expiring and $299 would be deducted from my account. I have no subscriptions and will not call back. They didn't say what kind of company or what subscription.
