Expert Opinion

Late last night, dozens of users reported another round of calls from +1‑402‑875‑9195. The pattern matches a classic tech support scam: callers claim your computer is infected, speak with an Indian or foreign accent, and pressure you to install software or hand over credentials. They often spoof legitimate brands like Nelnet or Microsoft to appear trustworthy. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to your carrier or the FTC. Never grant remote access, share personal data, or download anything from an unsolicited source. Using call‑blocking apps and a Do‑Not‑Call registry can dramatically cut down these nuisance calls.
