Scam!


Do not call the number! It almost certainly belongs to criminals who would pretend to be “tech support” as they gathered all of the information needed to rip you off.


(The claim of “viruses”? A bald-faced lie, meant to frighten you you into acting as the criminals wanted, without thinking.)
