So I was having issues with my HP Stream so I decided to call the customer service line and I ended up on this site:
http://supportlinenumber.com/hp-support.php
So I call the number and it didn't look like the same site I was on before in the middle of the night so I look through my history and find the right website I was on and then someone picks up and it was an Indian accent. I got scared about calling a scam number so I hung up and then they call back.
They don't stop calling back so I answer and he said we got disconnected. I tell him my worries and he asks me again when the problem with my computer started when I had already told him.
He even tells me to turn on my computer after I had told him it won't let me use it because it goes into sleep mode by itself when I use it and then restarts itself.
I also say I will call them back after I get the number from a legitimate looking site and he was begging me to not hang up but i do anyway. All because of the accent and I know about scams and how there are fake websites out there with numbers for you to call when in fact it's all a scam.
Does anyone know if the website I listed here is actually legitimate? I have read to never call a number from a computer website if it doesn't look like a real company website for your computer.
I wasn't trying to be racist because I have read about computer scams and how one of the signs of a scam is an Indian accent so I got worried and scared.
