'Your Connection Is Not Safe' Pop-Ups

The 'Your Connection Is Not Safe' pop-ups are misleading messages that may appear in your Web browser and urge you to call a phone number to get in touch with a reputable computer technician who'll help you solve computer issues that may threaten your online safety or your computer's performance. The Your Connection Is Not Safe' pop-ups are designed to look as if they warn you that you are attempting to access an unsafe website and you may have threats installed on your computer. One of the error messages seen in the 'Your Connection Is Not Safe' pop-ups may be 'NET_ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID,' an error that is usually associated with Google Chrome. However, due to the fraudulent nature of the 'Your Connection Is Not Safe' pop-ups, even users of Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox may encounter this fake error screen.

The technical support services that the 'Your Connection Is Not Safe' pop-ups appear to promote, are associated with the phone number 0800-090-3286. This phone number is seen on a corrupted website found on 'Scanpscan.xyz,' which is used to distribute fake threat alerts and error pop-ups whose goal is to trick users into agreeing to call 0800-090-3286 for help. Users who opt to contact this number may be greeted by an anonymous computer technician who may promise them that he'll take care of all their computers issues as long as the users follow his instructions.

The 'Your Connection Is Not Safe' pop-ups, the 0800-090-3286 phone number, and the Scanpscan.xyz domain are associated with a fraudulent tactic whose goal is to take money from users by selling them fake technical support service subscriptions or unreliable software. It is not uncommon for the people involved in these fraudulent operations to even request remote access to the victim's computer, and then lock it with a password to trick the user into thinking that this was done by cyber crooks. Once a computer is locked, the technical support con artists will not hesitate to blackmail the victim for money by assuring them that the password will be removed once the payment has been complete. Web browser messages like the Your Connection Is Not Safe' pop-ups that tell you that your computer is at risk should always be avoided because browser pop-ups are not a reliable source of information regarding your online safety.
