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.
