Number Report

Number: 5185335687
Carrier: ONVOY
Report Notes:
‪(518) 533-5687This number is hosting a tech support scam.

The users will send malicious emails under the guise of Norton or McAfee to claim the recipients were being charged for an auto-renewal on their nonexistent subscription and have them call their listed toll-free number. During this call, the recipients will be swindled into believing their personal information was compromised and that they need a new protection plan that costs two payments of $279 upfront and an occasional payment of $130 in gift cards purchased from CVS.

The fraudsters operate out of an illegal call center in India under the leadership of Tarun Gaur and are not from the United States. More information can be found at https://scammer.info/t/tarun-gaur-the-kingpin-behind-an-indian-norton-mcafee-impersonation-ring/151679?u=ofclygoodenough
