Scamming - Fraud
I received a telephone call from Vtech Solution Antivirus that they had renewed some $399 a year service that I clearly never signed up for. They said had 48 hours to call and cancel. Total scam I'd bet, designed to collect more info on me or talk me into purchasing something. The computer voice said it was "Joseph S." Monitoring my credit cards just in case.
Also, a friend of mine said she received a call claiming they are going to charge her $399.00 for a antivirus software, if she does not cancel. The call was a robo call from "David" in support department of Vtech, who said if she did not cancel this antivirus software service, she would be billed $399.00. But, she has NEVER had any software from Vtech. People, beware. Never give out your personal and financial information over the phone, and do not rush to make payment for something you do not know about. Do your research for.

This Vtech call is a scam from an Indian call center, where that is all they do all day long. I just received 2 calls this morning. They will ask you to put a code into your computer and that way they can steal your information.
They called me twice today and said I owed 295 dollars if I didn't call back within 24 hours they would charge my account. And I know for sure I never signed up for any security. Thank you to all the people who shared there circumstances otherwise I wouldn't have known what was going on.
Got same call 8/10/21, to renew software that I never had and I will be charged $399.99 in 24 hrs unless I call 838-201-9459

Just had this happen to me. I called back, said,"Cancel this." They told me to log in. I said,"I'm not at my computer. I'm at work." And they immediately hung up.
