Geek Squad Scam Alert: What That $480 Charge Means
Summary — +18316656417
Expert Opinion
Looks like a classic Geek Squad impersonation scam. The caller claims a $480 charge on your credit card and tries to pressure you into paying or giving info. These fraudsters often use a legit‑sounding brand to sound credible. Never share personal or payment details with an unsolicited call, especially if they claim a charge you didn’t make. Hang up, verify any alleged charge directly with your bank or the real Geek Squad through official channels, and report the number to your carrier or the FTC. A quick call back to the official number can save you from a nasty loss.
