Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

A particular pop up site via google/ instagram, that I don't have access to due to clearing browser date/ a security sweep, locked my computer screen, has an obnoxious noise come through, populates a screen that looks like it's coding your computer, and also populates a call windows now screen at phone number 888-427-3921. At this point, one should restart the computer, which I learned later from real microsoft/ windows tech support directly. The scam company try to install ultraviewer, they will have you run coding test, and try to access your personal info via dark web/ open bank accounts etc.
