Please make sure to check out our Abuse Management page, too:īeware of any scammers telling you to download! Note that even if they told you to use AnyDesk, we have no affiliations with such companies. Hello, we are sorry to hear this happened to you. I don’t actually know exactly how this app works but this was my encounter and I just want to share with people to be aware! So, the app is not a scam, but scammers will use this app to get a complete control of your phone and steal your info. The scammer told me in order to get my payment back from eBay, I have to fill out an application using this app. I now know the only way to contact eBay is to request a call and they will call you, they don’t provide a customer service phone number. This search sent me directly to a scammer. I had some issues regarding the payment on eBay and did a search on google for eBay customer service phone number (this was a big mistake).

I almost got scammed by a scammer claiming to be calling from eBay.

Those FBI popups are also fake, reboot and restore to an earlier point if this happens too.Īlmost got scammed by a Scammer NOT THE APP If you really have a problem you can’t figure out, look up the OFFICIAL phone number for apple or windows customer service. YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO CALL SOMEONE TO UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE. If it’s a desktop and it’s still frozen, restore the computer to an earlier point. Try restarting you’re device and most of the time that will fix it. It is a just a tab that has locked your screen or device temporarily. Whether it’s your phone or desktop, it’s not actually a virus. IF YOU EVER GET A POP UP SAYING THAT YOU HAVE A VIRUS, NEVER EVER CALL THE NUMBER THEY GIVE YOU. They’re just using legal apps in an illegal manner. Scammers use this app just like they use cash app, but it’s not the apps fault. This app on its own is completely safe as long as the device you’re connecting to is trusted. However, scammers will also use this software to take control of your device IF YOU CONNECT TO THEM DIRECTLY. This app is not a scam, it’s just a way to connect to another desktop or phone so that you can use it without being there. I had to write this review because I keep seeing people falling for scams in the comment section.
