A previous PC Matic customer recently posted a review on Facebook expressing frustrations that the PC Matic sales team was contacting her after her annual subscription had expired. \u00a0The calls were occurring multiple times a day, as late as 10 p.m. \u00a0First, PC Matic wants to assure all of its customers, their support and\/or sales team will not call you to renew your license. \u00a0If you receive a phone call from anyone claiming to be from PC Matic, please hang up immediately.<\/p>\n
This particular customer reported the phone number being used to contact her was 888-445-2555. \u00a0She reported the calls even continued from a private number after she blocked the original number.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this scam is not uncommon. \u00a0PC Matic has issued warnings before regarding these scammers illegally portraying PC Matic for both fraudulent sales and support efforts.\u00a0\u00a0Never accept these calls.<\/p>\n
Additional concerns were raised that PC Matic sold customer information to these scammers. \u00a0Again, that is not the case. \u00a0PC Matic, under no circumstances will sell your personal information to a third-party agency. \u00a0So, the question is, how do they know who uses what program?<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, these scammers are able to target certain software users. \u00a0There are various methods to do so. \u00a0One of which could be determining what an individual follows or “likes” on social media sites. \u00a0All of that information is public, and accumulated by the social media platforms for targeted advertising. \u00a0However, instead of advertising, scammers could use it maliciously.<\/p>\n
Overall, rest assured, PC Matic is not calling its users at all hours of the night. \u00a0Nor are they selling customer data to third-party agencies. \u00a0As stated above, if you receive a call similar to the one reported by one of PC Matic’s previous users, hang up immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
