Go to solution Solved by gazabi,

so i accidentally click this link and it brought me to a page where it said your ip might be under attacked and it showed my ip on it (I wasn't sure if it was the right once since a exited it immediately ) and it gave me this number at the bottom that said call this number immediately. Is this just a scam or should i be worried? I have avg, malwarebytes and malwarebytes anti exploit i scanned everything and nothing bad was found so is just a scam website?

scam, its pretty easy to get somebodies IP.

It's probably just a scam wanting you to call the number thinking your in trouble so those scammers can get you to install a program on your PC.

Nothing to worry about.
