Description
searched on the internet for Hewlett Package (HP) technical support contact telephone number for help with printer and apparently got a fake support line and was scammed. They intercepted the call and acted as HP support including going through a series of questions to get me to the correct department. With my permission gained access to my computer and faked software problems and pretended to fix issues and sold me a product I did not need and is worthless. Still not sure what else they stole over and above the $569.99 for "internet security".
