Scamming - Fraud
The "Geek Tech Solutions" email below is a scam. The fake email is being sent by online scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into calling the fake Geek Squad helpline numbers (931) 740-0377 or (931) 288-4341. Therefore, recipients are asked not to call the fake telephone numbers. The legit Geek Squad telephone number is 1-800-433-5778.
