Type of a scam Tech Support
Couldn’t access my yahoo email acct. Googled customer service phone number for yahoo and was connected to this LifeGuard Securities tech service. After the hard sell and purchasing a years worth of "protection" I began receiving calls from someone saying they were from the same company telling me they would have to refund my money to comply with some legal issue. As I was on the phone with the person wanting to refund my money, I began getting urgent calls and texts from the "real" tech company telling me I was being scammed and to call them immediately. I did and they insisted it was imperative that I "upgrade" my security to lifetime coverage to effectively save and protect me from these scammers who had breached THEIR security. I googled the address on the invoice they sent me and found no business listed as LifeGuard Securities at that address which was 107 1st Ave. Sunnyvale CA 94089
