Risk Level: Critical
Geek Squad Tech services, claiming your annual PC subscription has been renewed and reactivated.
Usually a scammer sends an email, a text message or calls your phone and pretends to be some organization, company or person you trust. Scammers gain access to your confidential information, like social security numbers, date of birth and then use it to apply for credit cards, loans and financial accounts. Typically, the victim receives an email that appears to be from a credible, real bank or credit card company, with links to a website and a request to update account information. But the website and email are fakes, made to look like the real website.
