Fake Pop-Up Warnings Resulting in PC Tech Scams
Tech support scams are on the rise, causing our members to believe they have a serious problem with their computer, like a virus. The goal is to convince the member to pay for tech support services they don't need, to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. Often, this includes requesting payment by wire, gift card, prepaid card, putting money in a cryptocurrency ATM, or a money transfer app knowing these types of payments can be hard to reverse.
Legitimate tech companies won’t contact you by phone, email, or text message to tell you there’s a problem with your computer. Similarly, security pop-up warnings from real tech companies will never ask you to call a phone number or click on a link.
- If you get a phone call you didn’t expect from someone who says there’s a problem with your computer, hang up.
- If you get a pop-up window on your computer, don’t call the number.
