Beware of Tech Support Scams

Tech support scams are getting popular. In these scams individuals attempt to scare you into ‘purchasing’ their support services. At best, the scammer charges you to install antivirus software. In more sinister scams, the tech support scammer gains access to your bank accounts by using stored credentials in your browser. Beware of fake tech support scams.
