Looks like message was composed by a native English speaker, but hard to know.

Why can't twerps who try to pull this stuff walk in front of buses.

Screen message received at 12:32p EST on 4/14. URL was 260352.techtechtech.xyz
Same msg as above, but referred to Chrome [level xxxx]. Screen was on [BSOD] blue background and white font.
Restarted PC - no problems.  Did NOT call given number (1-888-983-0061).

Called this number from cell phone found out it was a scam.  Came from Facebook Ueno life.

An end user whom I support got the same pop up message as others referenced below.
Googled the number to "call for support" and got to 800 notes.  These low life pieces of trash should be hunted down and strung up.
