Description
I called this (844)-457-1420 number I found on LINKEDIN after being hacked on Facebook and Instagram on Sunday. 11/5/2023. A man with a heavy accent answered like he was at home. I told him my problem. He was coughing and had trouble communicating amidst his heavy accents. He asked me to download an app to my laptop. I asked why. He said he must see what the problem is. I said how do I know you're not a hacker too? He started coughing and I hung up. The site he asked I download is https://www.ultraviewer.net/en/ so he can remotely SCAM ME....he didn't identify his name or if he was working at FACEBOOK! DO NOT BOTHER. THIS IS ANOTHER SCAM!!!
