2 / 3 · Spot the scam

A pop-up is not tech support.

Keep a fake warning from becoming remote access.

3 min read

Scammers imitate security warnings to get you on the phone. They may ask to control your screen or demand payment for a problem they invented.

Try this

  1. Do not call the number in a surprise security pop-up or unsolicited support message.

  2. Do not install remote-access software at a stranger’s request.

  3. If you need help, contact your device maker through its official site. Check suspicious charges directly with your bank.

Make the call
