I just got this on my work email. Unreal. I called the number from my work phone and got a live person, but they wanted me to sign into Google Chrome so she could help me navigate the system to protect my passwords and other information. Are people really stupid enough to let a total stranger into their computer? Sigh!

My spouse just got this same email and when he called (while I tried to check for scams). He got a live person (female) on the other end who wanted to share his screen. We hung right up. Thanks for sharing info about these scammers!

I see all the postings for Kindle support. I just called and when they started asking me to open up my computer because of the same notification shown above, I thought this doesn't sound right.

As it is, how can I be getting help from Facebook while the web says its giving support services for Kindle through Amazon. I hung up and glad I did.

They sent this to my boss over our business Facebook account. While I was leery it was a scam I called, they asked for my name/email/phone number then put me on hold.

I gave a fake name and email and said that I had no phone number attached to this account. While on hold I Googled the number and saw this and numerous other articles stating that this was a scam, I then hung up. I asked my Boss to log out of all devices through the settings just in case.

I called the number, like an idiot. But they did not ask for any information other than my name and cell phone number. Is that likely to be a problem?
