Scam Description
I signed up for Peacock and am not able to log in. I went to https://www.peacocktv.com/help/article/contact-us-in-customer-service and asked for help. The chat contact person (https://direct.lc.chat/12922785/) had someone call me to help The person on the phone sent a code and told me to enter it and then hit download. Before hitting download, I asked him what was I downloading. He told me it was permission and ability for him to see EVERYTHING on my computer. I asked if it was just Peacock related. He told me he would be able to see everything including mail, personal accounts, passwords, bank accounts, etc. I then asked for a manager in which I was told to call: 1-***********. I called and no one answered. The first gentleman called back insisting that I enter the code and download the information which I did not. I told him I thought this was a scam and he hung up.
