BEST TECH HELP: Finding Reliable Support
Data released this year shows U.S. households have an average of 17 devices that connect to the internet. That's 17 devices to potentially troubleshoot at any given time. When you are frustrated and searching for tech support, many of us turn to family and friends, but they often don't have the necessary expertise, which can exacerbate the issue. Alternatively, you might Google a customer service line and inadvertently call a scammer who attempts to take control of your laptop or extort money from you.
Strategies to AVOID TECH SCAM
- Research legitimate tech support services available in your area.
- Consider using reputable services like Best Buy's Geek Squad for direct assistance.
- Beware of fake customer service phone numbers that proliferate online.
