Online scams are growing at
an alarming pace worldwide, and these are also growing in complexity. According
to the most recent Big Scammers online fraud alerts, a significant part of
these complaints from real users this year involves fake tech support scams.
Many users have fallen for these extortion schemes on the Web, which are
essentially variants of ransomware scams. Criminal syndicates that operate
these fake tech support scams are using new tactics to lure more unsuspecting
users to these Web scams.
- What Are Fake Tech Support Scams?
According to the narratives
of users in their Big Scammers online fraud complaints, these scams are
designed to trick users into paying for fake tech support services. They are
bombarded with pop-up messages on top of frozen systems and Web browsers. These
messages are laced with fake urgency claims. These are also designed to trick
users into thinking that these pop-ups are from their device manufacturer or OS
(operating system) developer.
Scare rhetoric is also
integrated into these pop-up messages. This is designed to force users to call
a toll free number. Once these unsuspecting users call this toll free number,
they are conned out of their money by these fraudsters who pose as official
tech support agents of popular tech companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google,
Yahoo! and the like. This is based on the latest Big Scammers online fraud complaints posted by real victims who have fallen for these fake tech support
scams in the last few months.
When users talk to these
fraudsters over the phone, they are fooled into paying a fee for the service of
removing these pop-ups from their devices and for un-freezing their systems or
Web browsers. Many of these scammers also force users to pay higher fees by
deceiving them into getting longer term tech support subscription plans with
wider coverage. According to some Big Scammers online fraud complaints against
these schemes, these scammers pull this off by scaring users into thinking that
their devices are infected with serious malware. These fraudsters tell them
that these non-existent malware could potentially allow third party access to
their devices and might also be able to delete all the data in their devices
beyond repair.
