Fake listings can turn trusted platforms into scam springboards

Malwarebytes warns of a tech-support scam where attackers create fake listings on popular platforms (example: a BuzzFeed listing impersonating Malwarebytes) to borrow platform credibility, display fraudulent phone numbers reused across vendor impersonations, and trick victims into calling, granting remote access, or paying for bogus services; the advisory explains how these listings work, provides detection and remediation guidance, and urges verification via official channels.
