V-TECH scam call warning: $499 threat!
Summary — +17866875488
Expert Opinion
It looks like a classic scam targeting vaccine‑related fears. Callers claim to be from V‑TECH, say they have records of your COVID‑19 shot and demand a $499 payment within 48 hours, threatening to charge your bank. They use urgent language to pressure you into acting quickly. Never share personal information or payment details with unknown callers, and do not click links they provide. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your phone carrier’s fraud department. Keep a record of the call in case you need to dispute any unauthorized charges.
