For a few months now, a new scam has been sweeping across America, and it's still going strong. The scheme is simple: the person on the other end of the phone says that they're from Microsoft tech support. The tech support employee then tells you that your computer is infected with Malware, and suggest downloading an anti-virus program which will fix it. In reality, of course, this program won't actually do anything except steal your money and personal information. After these callers con you into purchasing their software, they'll demand that you pay for the subscription immediately. However, this isn't too much of a problem because they'll usually send you an email that contains a payment link to make the purchase. So what's the scam? The scammer will never actually send out any software! Instead, all email links will have URLs ending with "cart.php", or are marked as "secure." When you click on one of these links, it takes you to a page where you can place your order. However, there are two problems with this page: This is how the scam works. As soon as you click on one of these links, a popup will appear. If you have a virus protection program running on your computer, this popup will ask if you want to shut down your program. When you answer yes, the pop-up window will disappear and a new window will open, containing a form where you can enter your credit card information. After entering all of your personal information into this fraudulent form, the scammer is then able to see all of it by clicking "Process Order". Once the payment is made and the scammer has remote access to your computer they can do whatever they want with it. They can even use your computer's webcam to spy on you. It's not too hard to see how these scammers are able to make so much money off of their scheme. With the click of a button, they are able to take control of your computer and steal your information. How can you protect yourself against this scam? First of all, if you ever get a call from someone claiming that they're with Microsoft tech support, just hang up the phone. It doesn't matter what they tell you is wrong with your computer, there is no way that they will be able to fix it over the phone. This is a scam. If you still decide to call them, you'll want to be aware of all their possible scams. This is one of the most common scams that older adults face because they have misplaced the ability to obtain the information that younger people might need or want. In this situation, a scammer may use organizations including non-profit organizations, political groups, and federal agencies to make their attempt at deceitful behavior more effective. cfa1e77820
