Tech Support Scams

Tech support scams have become a serious problem nowadays due to their rapidly swelling number and their tactics. They use scare tactics to manipulate victims into sharing their personal information such as pin codes and OTPs. Due to their tricks, people believe that they are at a risk and try to solve a problem that doesn’t even exist.

How The Scammers Set Traps

The scammers contact the target and pretend to be a representative of a tech company. They usually make contact through calls but sometimes they send emails as well. They adopt one of their two most common tactics to achieve their goal which is to fetch your personal information and then the information is used to steal money.

The first method is that they ask you to provide certain information so that they can fix the issue from the main server. In the other method, they try to take complete control of your device. Yes, it is possible. They ask to install some software to resolve the issue but in reality, this installation will make them able to receive all your information. This software also displays some error messages which make the target believe that the computer needs a software repair and in this way, the victim doesn’t even get suspicious.

How To Avoid Tech Scams

If you ever face a situation in which you have no idea what to do then you should take help from someone who deals which such a situation often. Money-Back is a recovery firm that is always in pursuit of scammers that is why it is a good option to consult.

We advise our customers that don’t provide their personal information to anyone. Tech companies never ask for any kind of information. In fact, they don’t even call themselves and the contact is made by the clients themselves so the calls you receive are definitely from scammers.

In case you have already landed in hot waters by providing them your information then you should hire our recovery service so that we track down the scammer and force him to return your money.
