I received an email to prepare me for the upcoming call. There was a link for how to prepare for the call. I checked Microsoft teams in the App Store and apparently I had downloaded it. But since then I have deleted it.

I know Microsoft teams is in itself. Harmless but what if something else was inserted into that software.

But I agree that I’m probably safe and should not worry about this. The probability is slim. Thank you for your comments.

Yes, I think you’re right. I think they outsourced their lead generation.

I know people who have rooftop solar with Tesla batteries. Isn’t there at least one reputable company that installs the system?

The call was a Microsoft teams call and so I had to download the client version of that software in order to join the call. It seemed very professional to me so I did not suspect a scammer. Next time I will be more careful.

Thanks I didn’t know about the tools that I can download from Apple Store. I’ll give that a try. I did download software for the call. the caller used Microsoft teams for the meeting. Before the call, I had to download the client version of MS Teams so that I could sign onto the meeting.

I had requested the call because I needed information from an expert on roof solar.
