If the recipients call the number, they will get an automated message asking them to enter their account credentials, personal information, including their social security numbers, bank account numbers, or other information the cybercriminals need in order to gain access to their potential victims’ accounts, steal their money and use their accounts fraudulently.

Please remind your readers it only takes a minute to use a search engine to confirm the customer support number is a fraud. It is surprising how many people don't know about this.
