FastSupport Pretended to be Belkin technician Los Angeles Internet
I have a brand new MacBook Pro. I purchased a new modem and router yesterday. I went through the steps and connected everything and it worked fine, or so I thought. The final step was to type router in the search box to complete the process. I did that and thought all was well. This morning I tried to get online, and my ip address wasn't accepting my password. I went to the router address again. It looked like a real belkin site. Someone opened a chat box, took my number and said she would have a technician call me. My phone rang and the guy idenetified himself as being from belkin. He told me to go to fastsupport.com , which I did. He looked through my system, and told me that it would cost me $130.00 for one year of firewall protection, but that I should purchase 2, which would be $230.00, and $100.00 technician fee. I took down the information because it sounded like a scam. There are warranties with new routers and a 2 year service protection plan.
I called the real Belkin, they told me that someone was trying to scam me. They fixed my router problem for free.
Beware, these scammers are vicious.
