🚨 Tech Support Scams Are Getting Sneaky — Here’s What to Watch For
Scammers aren’t just using scary pop‑ups anymore. They’re sending legit‑looking emails, fake subscription renewals, and even planting bogus “customer service” numbers online. Their goal is simple: trick you into giving them access to your computer or your money.
Here’s what to look out for:
🔹 Fake renewal notices (Norton, McAfee, Geek Squad, etc.)
🔹 Emails claiming your device or account is compromised
🔹 Phone calls pretending to be Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or your bank
🔹 Support numbers found through ads instead of official websites
🔹 Pressure to act immediately or allow remote access
If someone contacts you out of the blue — don’t trust it. Go directly to the company’s official website or call us for help.
