Got Scam Call

I got a call from 1-844-999-9927,

asked me to install network security as I have hacking issues and they made me read a page, I think “https://www.support-wiz.com/Telus-Technical-Support.html” this is the one and it will cost me 199$.
Is this really Telus & do you have such network security?

please confirm soon!

  • Never go to a web page link you got from a phone call. Never, no exceptions.
    Links from text messages and emails are a bit tricker to vet but a good guideline is if the official business name is not in the first part of the URL then it's a scam.
    For your link above you needed to see "https://....telus.com/...." to be legit. What you have instead is support-wiz.com which has nothing to do with TELUS.

    100% scam. I'm surprised that website hasn't been shut down yet. Been scamming for years.
