Extortion schemes on the Web
have morphed into more intricate scams. According to the latest Big Scammers
online payment fraud alerts and Web scam notifications this year, most victims
of these extortion schemes are users of popular dating sites and apps in the
USA, Canada, Australia and the UK. Some are also victims of fake tech support
schemes in a few countries across Asia, the Middle East and other EU
territories.
What Are Online Dating
Scams?
These scams are designed to
extort money from unsuspecting users of popular dating sites and apps. These
fraudsters pose as legitimate users who are also looking for their ideal dates
in these Web dating platforms. Most of these criminals target middle-aged
married men and women who hang out in these online dating communities,
according to the latest Big Scammers online payment fraud and scam complaints
this year.
Once they bait, hook and
reel in their target victims from these Web platforms into their cyber traps,
they demand for large sums of money in exchange for their silence. Based on
recent Big Scammers online payment fraud alerts and Web dating scam updates,
many of these users comply with the demands of these fraudsters because they
threaten to directly send logs and recordings of their intimate text and voice
chats to the spouses, children, employers, friends and colleagues of their
victims.
What Are Fake Tech Support
Extortion Schemes?
These fake tech support
extortion schemes are designed to trick users into thinking that they need to
pay a hefty service fee in exchange for removing non-existent malicious
applications and hacker rootkits in their devices. Many users claim in their recent Big Scammers online payment fraud and Web scam complaints that these
scammers manage to do this by injecting malicious code into illegitimate
websites and illegal content downloads. This malicious code is distributed all
over the Internet through spam and phishing messages, as well as across widely
used torrent sites and P2P (peer to peer) file sharing networks.
Once this malicious code
penetrates the devices of their target victims, pop-up messages are displayed
in their screens. Most of these pop-up messages freeze the system and the Web
browsers of users. These are laced with scare rhetoric and fake urgency claims.
Toll free numbers are also included in these messages, which are falsely
advertised as the official tech support numbers of household tech brands like
Microsoft, Apple, Google and others.
Many Big Scammers online
payment fraud and extortion scam complaints this year involve fake tech support
schemes. Most victims of tech support fraud are Windows users in the USA,
Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, Japan and France. There are also
significant fake tech support scam reports from users of the latest iOS and Android
mobile devices in these countries.
