Real-life Scams:
“I’m calling from Microsoft. Your computer is infected. Please provide us with remote access to your computer and we’ll scan
it for viruses.”
“For a limited time we are offering free security scans. We’ll install our software on your computer, and get started.”
Sound familiar?
Tech Support Scams are a Big Business
Have you ever been the victim of a computer or phone scan? Do you know someone who has been impacted?
Tech support scams are a huge business. Every day people have their personal data compromised, and money stolen. Under the guise of “security” scammers successfully infiltrate people’s computers and access personal information.
Often seniors are the most at risk of being victimized by scam emails or phone calls.
What should you do? Who can you trust?
