A SCAM, IT’S NOT MICROSOFT

A SCAM, IT’S NOT MICROSOFT

This post will be followed by another more lengthy post concerning scams I have experienced three times with my computer being locked with a screen saying Microsoft has found a security leak on my computer. There is usually a blue screen along with one or two others warning you not to turn off your computer. You are given a phone number to call. DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER.

Do turn off your computer. After turning my computer back on one time the screens and lock were gone, one time they weren’t, and I had to seek help to get my computer unlocked.

The first time I experienced this scam I did call the number listed. I will soon post what happens when you call the number
