Do Not Call 972-924-5296 - Appears to be used by Scammers

I received the fake US Tech Support emails below asking to me call 972-924-5296 to cancel my membership. The fake email was sent from an outlook.com email, which makes it suspicious because a legitimate technical support website like USTech Support doesn't use free email service.

Recipients of the fake emails who were tricked into disclosing their credit card information to the scammers are asked to contact their banks for help because their cards are used fraudulently.

The legitimate USTech Support is located at www.ustechsupport.com, where their contact number and email can be found if you need to reach them.

I called them and they asked to install AnyDesk. I managed to do a system restore on my desktop after uninstalling the programs. What else is there to do.

Just do not give them remote access to your computer. AnyDesk is not a malicious software.

I just received an email from the supposed company, and felt it was a scam right away, because I don't haven't signed up for technical support with anyone, and if I needed technical support, I would contact the people I have my actual email account with.

Do not call these people back! I am going to alert my bank though of this supposed company trying to get money out of my account that they aren't authorized to do so.

I called the number and someone answered after hours and you could hear people in the back telling them to hang up. Scam averted. Then they blocked my number.
