service – tech scam
*SOLVED

3

I was talked into buying 2 years of 'protection' for my Mac and Smartphone for &70.99, (a "discount") Was told to go toGoogle Play to download for Android. Google Play won't open on my cell phone, and a warning that Malwarebytes had been hacked into came up. I called the support number for Malwarebytes, and a man from India answered the phone without stating the company he was with. When I asked, he said anti virus tech. He insisted I go to my computer, but my inner voice and gut feeling was NO. He said he would look into my IP address and get back to me in 20 minutes. (He said he could sell me Malwarebytes for my router as well as what I had already purchased for both phones.) When he called back on my cell phone wanting me to go to my computer to get my cell phones Malwarebytes going - my gut screamed NO. I told him I wasn't comfortable with this, and ended the call. A few minutes later, I called the number he had called me from - a New York # no longer in service. After coming home from work that day, there was a 1 minute long message a people talking in the background - not asking for, or, speaking to me. Strange - What a scam. Beware.
