ATTENTION SCAM ALERT!! Watch out for fake messages on your devices. This screenshot was taken on an iPad!!

This malware is known as phishing -"they" phish for your personal data, and they usually have many different angles and methods to try and get it. The message will vary, and the websites and phone numbers might be different than what is shown in this picture. No matter, the end result is the same, If you take the bait and call the number, they will get your credit card information, at least. And will usually try to get as much personal and financial information as they can. They will steal your money and/or your identity!! PLEASE BE CAREFUL and don't fall for it!!

I checked out the website listed at the top. Right now it looks like a tech support company. It looks like it could be real. A short time ago, when this first happened, I checked and google said the site was a ratings site - a place to report fraudulent websites and tech support and give good ratings for good service. They constantly change the story to try and get the highest return on their investment.

If you are unsure about the legitimacy of any message that pops up on your screen, please contact your tech person, or if you don't have one, contact me!! I'm here to keep you safe on the internet. If you want any other details regarding this particular incident, message me, email or call. My contact information is available on my page!
