PCMech Forums - View Single Post - New malware scam

UPDATE:
My customer reported to me that the guy on the phone was
telling her that he's associated with MalwareBytes, so I checked
with the MalwareBytes forum and the folks there told me that
MalwareBytes does not solicit by phone and that
it's probably a scam.

Here is the thread from MalwareBytes Forums
in case you are interested.

The call was coming from supportonclick dot com and my
customer told me they kept on calling her for a few days
trying to sell her on their services.

The way I handle telemarketers is to tell them right away that
I have no money, I'm broke, and I have no way to pay. Then I
ask tem politelty to put me on their Do Not Call list.
