WITS 2001 DOE tech‑support scam alert!

Expert Opinion
Watch out for calls that claim your computer is infected but never actually speak before hanging up. These tech‑support scams often spoof a government‑style ID like “WITS 2001 DOE” to add credibility. The caller usually stays silent or delivers a rehearsed script, then tries to pressure you into remote access or payment. Never share personal or payment details with an unsolicited caller, and avoid clicking any links they send. Block the number through your phone or carrier, and report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical and verifying any alleged security alerts through official channels can stop the fraud.
