Is 833-600-8859 a scam or spam call?
Its a scam to get in to your computer, don't do it !!!!
Claimed to be Garmin, and will update units, for $79, also claimed that although
computer wasn't infected, the 'net' was with BetaBot and they can fix it for a price.
They ask for access to you computer through GoTomeeting or somethign similar and then go to cmd line and type netstat, they get the ip address that get accesss to your computer and then do bad things. Do give them access in the first place.
They are pretending to be Google and they will post this number in Google forums
