Scam Description
I have interacted with employees of The Geekz claiming to be certified Geek Squad employees. They are scamming people by telling them they have malware and spyware installed on their devices and that installing their software is the only thing that will help. They manipulate and scare people who aren’t familiar with technology and convince them to allow the scammers to remotely access their devices, and therefor giving all control over to the scammers. These people are lying and saying they work for real and respected tech companies, and they’re lying about people needing antivirus software so they can scare them into spending money.
