A little while ago we reported on an increase in telephone scams, unfortunately over the last few weeks we have seem an increase in another.
This is a very convincing pop up purportedly from Windows Defender, it tells you that you have a virus, you shouldn’t turn off your computer and you need to call a number to have it fixed.
This is 100% not true, Windows Defender will tell you that you have a virus but will never give you a number to call to fix it.
In the best case they will try and gain control of your computer to charge you an extortionate amount for a basic anti-virus program, in the worst they will drop viruses on to your computer or, as in the case of the computer I am currently working on, entirely break it so it no longer boots.
No antivirus program will ever give you a number to call, they are designed to clean viruses for you, BT, Microsoft, Talk Talk or others will never call you up to fix your computer, if in doubt call a local repair company first for advice.
We see and hear from people every week at the moment who have been caught by this scan so spread the word . . .
Avoid Fraud Online
At Truro Computers we have seen a massive increase in telephone fraud over the last year, the scam is simple, a caller phones up purporting to be from Microsoft, BT, TalkTalk or similar, they will typically claim to have detected an issue with your computer or a virus and tell you they need access to your computer to fix it. If you are lucky they will just vastly overcharge you for anti-virus, in other cases we have seen viruses installed and even user’s data completely deleted or computers completely locked out!
To many this fraud is obvious, to those who are less experienced with computers and do not necessarily know what is and isn’t possible the calls can be very convincing and threatening!
At Truro Computers we are now receiving calls and visits from people who have been a victim of this scam literally every day, often (but not always) from the older generation who haven’t grown up in the digital world!
Obviously for us cleaning up the computers is work, but it is work we would rather not do! These scammers are just working through every phone number so if you have friends or relatives you think may fall victim to this scam, even if it’s just an inkling, it’s worth the conversation . . . .
- No one can detect issues with your computer over the Internet, if they say they have they are lying.
- Never let anyone remotely access your computer that you haven’t specifically called yourself for help.
- If in any doubt put the phone down!
Please spread the word and help bring this scourge to an end!
