Popup on my laptop told me to call this number. The "technician" wanted $299 in gift cards. Closed the browser and ran a scan.

Reports about (720) 555-0145
They asked me to install a remote desktop app and go to my bank site "to receive a refund". This is how they steal money.
Same call here. Thanks for posting, I almost picked up.
Said my computer was sending error messages and they needed remote access to fix it. Tech support scam. Microsoft and Apple do not call you.

Good advice. I hung up and called the official number, and they confirmed it was fake.
