Dell Server Virtualisation Scam?

So, here's the story.

Today Wednesday the 28th of November at 13:53 I got word from my dad about a phone call asking about the version of our server virtualisation. Thing is I've no idea what this is about. The closest connection I can think of is that it has got to do with website management or something. So I thought its related to our business website.

In the middle of our call, this number from the UK +442890444276 called my on my phone. So I put the call of our conversion on hold and pick this one up.

Talk about the devil, it was what we we're discussing about. The party that called my dad talking about server virtualisation. The other was actually a female, introducing that she's from Dell and straight asking about what version of our server virtualisation is. Me being dumb at this dev tech side stuff have no idea what she was asking about. Actually, when she first spoke i thought it was a recording being played to me, but after my first reply it didn't hit me as much as the first time anymore. I closed the call no idea what it was.

My questions are:

1. Is there such a thing such as Server Virtualisation scam like what those Indians from India used to do?
2. How does the other party get my phone number?

I'm curious and scared af that something would happen to my website which is done with squarespace.

Fake NVIDIA Official Store on Lazada?

According to https://www.lowyat.net/2018/166592/nvidia-m...store-official/ , Nvidia Official Online Store is now open for business in Lazada.

But, funny thing is, if you click on any of their products, continued by going to the store information that sells it, it states there that the store is there for 3+ years now.

How can it be 3+ years when it is just launched for a few days now?

Is it fake? Feels like something fishy is going on here to me.
