Computer Support Scam Information
Support scams often come in the form of a popup while browsing the web or from a direct call to your residence or cell phone. Popups will typically lock your screen and display some scary warnings about your computer or even bank accounts. They will display a phone number to call. Direct phone calls will generally tell you they are from a reputable company (like Microsoft, Google, Dell, etc.) and tell you there is a serious issue with your computer that needs taken care of right away.
