Hacker pretends to be from Panda

Post by Robert 5721 »

About a year ago I got a phone call from someone who said that they were from Panda security and offered to extend my coverage for five years for about 500 dollars. They were persuasive and so I bit and paid. Now a year later they are back wanting to do a “security check” on my computer. I am reasonably convinced that this is a scam. Has anyone else run across this ?

Hi Robert 5721,

If you have doubts about that phone call, contact with technical support in your country and ask them if they are calling you.
