Scam VMware Audit by Phone
-
So got an email "from VMware" today that looked kinda legit, other than how it was worded, but they offered that you could email them at a Vmware address... but also offered a phone number that is not found via Google and when you call it it goes to a voicemail box asking for all your info without anything to validate who you called.
So posting the number here to make sure that people can look it up in the future. This is definitely NOT a legit situation: 470 247-0474
I found someone on Reddit attempting to claim, without the slightest proof, that it was real and a lot of people questioning it and nothing that made it sound legit. But the email and the vmail message that doesn't even confirm that it is VMware guarantee that it's fake. Avoid this number and the scam.

Good to know we got a slew of requests for a self-audit back in October, same phone number, all hit our spam filters so we ignored.
