There is a "contact" link from the fb page, I believe.

It sounds like phishing to me but what do I know...? Hope someone else chimes in to help--this post will kick your thread.

I always thought BSOD meant BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH, so I wouldn't click on that shit!

EDIT--I went looking...and found this article, might be what they're trying to do to you: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/threat-analysis/2015/07/techsupportscams-and-the-blue-screen-of-death/
