    Listen to message

    Help spread the word and prevent someone from becoming a victim.

    Fact:
    • ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
    • ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your online server called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
    • Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
    • ANYONE who calls or emails you with a message about your computer having illegal activity, is a SCAMMER.
    • Apple will never, ever call you about alleged suspicious iCloud activity.
    • ANY Tech Support Warning pop-ups you get while accessing the internet asking you to call a number or visit a website, is from a SCAMMER.
    • Web Browsers DO NOT have the ability to determine and warn you your computer has an error. They can only warn you about a potential malicious website. A Browser is software that allows you to surf the Internet, not diagnose a computer or phone.
    • ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.
    • Nobody could possibly know if your computer or devices have an issue unless you tell them or gave them access.
    • Tech Support companies DO NOT call or email to give out refunds because they are "going out of business", or to "cancel a subscription".  Companies DO NOT give refunds unless they have to.
    • Companies DO NOT call to inform you that your subscription will be charged if you don't call back, only SCAMMERS do that. If you have a subscription with someone, they automatically charge you until you cancel it and they don't give a refund.
    • Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.
    • 3rd party Tech services DO NOT include Email account repairing or password resetting, since they can not access the email server unless it belongs to them.

    Please read about how Tech Support Scammers operate the scams and warn everyone possible about them.

    Never trust a caller who wants to "help your computer" for any reason (unless you contacted them first), as they are only going to scam you. If you need Tech Support, you should contact a reputable local service.

    Exactly as stated previously: "Microsoft Windows License Expiration".  Calls continue.  Still a total scam. Seems it should warrant a class action lawsuit and payout, even if collected for charities.

    Sooo sick of scammers wasting my time replies to MikeHuntleton
    Now THAT’s a good msg to put out for others. There are still many people who are poorly informed, overly gullible, not internet savvy, or some combo of the above.

    That’s a good svc you’ve done; hopefully, people will share the links, and those who need it will read up!
