Description
I was called from someone claiming to be from my ISP saying that their system is being upgraded and that they needed to send a technician to my home to upgrade my modem. They claimed this tech support would cost $1.98 and asked for a credit card number, at which point I politely asked to call them back, hung up with them, and called my ISP's official number and described the incident in detail (including the technical specifics). I was told the call I received was "100% a scam." I suspect the number from which I was called - which showed up as a local Hawaii number with an 808 area code - was used to mask the caller's true location.
