Tech Support Scams           

Here is how they work:

You get a call or message from someone who says they're a computer technician, or a number appears in a pop-up message on your screen. The person on the phone says they're from a well-known company like Apple or Microsoft.  They tell you about viruses on your computer or say you must buy new software to fix it.

Here is what to do:

1. Hang up.  If you are seeking technical help, call a known number for the product, search engine results are not always legitimate.

2.  Pass this information on to a friend or family member.  You know these are scammers, but chances are, you know someone who doesn't!!
