@ultraaxvii#25730 I dialed them. They have a unique greeting.
After calling I asked for a particular scammer and the scammer whose voice I know took the call.
These Indian scammes now target France too.
A clip from MalwareBytes article
…We discovered that this company is targeting the French with the same tactics, but with a localized native language tech support service. This time, the call center responding to the calls is named GeeksFrance. Their website, geeksfrance[dot]com, displays the different plans they offer, ranging from 99.99 euros to 499 euros.
One more pop-up phone number of these filthy Geeks from the city of Chandigarh: 1888-754-9063
