POP-UP ads may appear on your Apple Device, Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, saying you are infected with a virus and to call this 800 number for tech support to help you get rid of it. . . THIS IS A SCAREWARE SCAM and it is only an ad designed to remove you from your money. Also cold calls are now being made attempting the same thing where a voice on the other end may say they are calling from Macintosh (the won't say Apple because then Apple can sue the pants off them, similarly when they call about a Windows computer they say they are calling from Windows tech support not Microsoft) and say your computer is reporting a virus. . . and they are here to help. Don't bother. Again, it is a scam. Here is an article on the new phenomenon, old to Windows users, for Mac users of phishers trying to scam Mac, iPhone, and iPad user out of their hard earned cash from MalWareBytes explaining how they do it. Well worth reading. — PING!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is only a matter of time before this kind of thing comes to Android, if it hasn't already. Not really one of those things where you want to debate "Apple had it first!" or "Android did it first/better!" — ANDROID PING!

Android Ping!
