Watching Out For Tech Support Scammers –FBI and IC3 Warn Online Users:

Jun 5, 2016 By Reem

One fine morning when your phone rings and you listen to heavily Indian accent telling you that The wants to provide you tech support, you know you are in trouble. This person is definitely someone who is located miles away from you, has no idea of what he is talking about and is definitely not the computer engineer he claims he is.He invariably tells you that your computer has been sending viruses and trojans over the network and he has been getting warnings of the same as he is from a government organisation. He asks you to turn on your computer give him the access for your device and then charges you for nothing but a few free software that he gets on the Internet and installed on your computer. That is house millions of people across the globe have got scammed and now that people have understood this and I are hanging up on phone calls that claim to provide technical support the people who are doing this have resorted to different means.
