Online users who have received fake email account termination notices asking them to call telephone number +1-855-878-5117 are asked not to do. This is because the telephone is being used by online scammers. The scammers send out fake emails to potential victims and ask them to contact technical support at +1-855-878-5117. If potential victims call the fake technical support number, they will be asked to give the scammers remote access to their computer, account credentials, personal and financial information that the scammers can use to rob them.
