Posted: August 21, 2017

The '877-870-1310' pop-ups are Web browser messages, which contain fake information regarding the health and security of your computer. The peculiar thing about these browser pop-ups is that they may be translated into Russian or English automatically depending on the language settings of the user's Web browser. Both versions of these pop-ups were first spotted by researchers on the Honyoffpc.website but it is likely that the people behind this domain also are using other websites, domains, and phone numbers to promote their fraudulent scheme.

Encountering the 877-870-1310' pop-ups may often be accompanied by other problems such as being unable to access any of your Web browser's open tabs. In addition to this, the pop-ups may be difficult to close since these tactics utilize special scripts to ensure that the pop-ups and messages will continue to reopen themselves whenever the visitor attempts to close them.

The content of the 877-870-1310' pop-ups is quite generic. It tells the victims that their credit card data, personal chats, and email conversations might be exposed to cyber crooks because of a hacker attack. In addition to this, the pop-ups may contain the made-up error code 'Error # 3658d5546db22ca'. We've already encountered this error code in the 'Access To Your Computer Has Been Restricted' Pop-ups, another online technical support tactic, which aims to take money and information from innocent users.

The 877-870-1310' pop-ups tell users that they need to seek the assistance of the support agents who can be accessed by calling the phone line cited in the message immediately. However, you can rest assured that the 877-870-1310' pop-ups don't promote a legitimate service and, in fact, the phone number is listed as being part of a hoax. Users who opt to call it might be asked to promote the self-proclaimed support agent with remote access to their computers. In addition to this, the users might be asked to pay a significant amount of money in exchange for a questionable security or PC optimization software.

If you notice the '877-870-1310' pop-ups or any other browser pop-ups claiming to provide you with information regarding your computer's security, then you should not forget that they are more than likely to be part of a tactic. The advice is to ignore such messages and avoid opening the websites that led you to them.
