Beware of Tech Support Scams
Have you received a call from someone claiming to be USTechSupport and asking for money and/or your account information so you can get a refund? Several scammers are contacting consumers claiming to be USTechSupport and/or that USTechSupport is no longer in business and the consumer is entitled to a refund. A few things to note about reputable Tech Support Companies:
- Inbound Calls Only — Tech Support Agents will never call you unless you requested a callback.
- Open for Business —USTech Support has been in business for over 10 years.
