Description

I received a suspicious email claiming I had 24 hours to cancel a purchase for NordVPN. It said to call 1 818 214 3058 within 24 hours to cancel the purchase. I called the number and a man suggested I open my laptop computer so he could investigate to see if a scammer had purchased this plan using my private information. He said, go to: drto.info and once you are there, I can check to see if you have NordVPN working on your computer. This all seemed quite bizarre to me, so I did not follow any of the instructions, and instead, I hung up and looked for a place online to report a scam.
