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.
