MacBook Air Sonoma 14 In a possible scam in order to recover a payment I was instructed to toggle the "Support Client" tab in the Privacy & Security drop down menu. What does that button do?
Just wondering why a company - in this claiming to be PayPal - would want me to toggle that button to "on" as part of recovering a fraudulent debit.

This is definitely a scam, yes/ They're asking you to toggle this setting so that they can start a screen share with you, using a program that is meant for that. That will only pull you further in to the scam I am afraid
I am sorry this happend to you
To "recover a payment"?
Did you get an e-mail like this? I've gotten a number of these – this one from "Norton", others from "PayPal". All scams sent to you by criminals. The e-mails tell you that you have already been charged hundreds of dollars for something that you never bought. Then they give you a "customer support" number to call to get a "refund."
The "customer support" number would of course connect you to criminals, who would get your information under pretense of needing it to process your "refund"; then use the information to rip you off.
Thanks - that sounds about right. But does that mean the "support client" tab is a prerequisite for screen sharing? I bailed out before that could happen....
What does the "Support Client" in the privacy and security settings on my MacBook Air?
