    Is this a scam?


    My Dell I3880 shut down suddenly. Upon reboot, it went through a system diagnostics test and it said there were no hardware issues. Then this screen popped up. Just before I clicked "Start Repair," I noticed the misspellings and became suspicious. I clicked on the ellipses buttons at the top and there was a shut down option, so I clicked on that. After a few seconds, I rebooted again and it started just fine. Sorry the picture is bad, I took it with my phone
