Tech Support Scams

Tech support scams involve fraudsters posing as legitimate tech support representatives to deceive individuals into giving them access to their computers or personal information. Typically, they may use pop-up warnings online, fake calls, or emails claiming there’s a problem with your device. They often pressure victims into paying for unnecessary services or software. These scams exploit fear and urgency, but legitimate tech support will never ask for remote access without your consent. To stay safe, always verify the identity of anyone claiming to offer tech support and never share personal information or money without confirmation.
