'Killer's IP Address' Pop-Ups Scam

It seems that con artists' online tactics may be failing, and they are looking for new ways to spice up their old tricks. One of the new pop-ups to be used by online fraudsters is known as the 'Killer's IP Address' pop-ups tactic, and it is executed with the help of a GIF animation that pretends to be tracking the user's IP address, and then displays a flashing message saying that the killer's IP address has been identified and tracked. In addition to this, users are likely to see several warnings regarding computer issues, viruses, and corrupted files that may hinder their system's performance – finally, the bogus website hosting the 'Killer's IP Address' pop-ups tactic asks the victim to call +41 22 5188 918 for assistance.

This phone number is not associated with a reliable provider of technical support services, so calling it is out of the question. A quick Web search about this number reveals that it is often involved in tactics related to computer support and money fraud – needless to say, it is not a number you should call. Whenever you come across a website that shows various warnings and tries to trick you into calling a phone number, we advise you to do your research and see if any users have reported encountering the website or number in question – this is an easy way to identify tactics.

The 'Killer's IP Address' Pop-Ups tactic has been found on Buyshoewsno.xyz, but it is likely that there are many other domains hosting a version of this tactic. We assure you that the contents of the 'Killer's IP Address' Pop-Ups tactic are fake, and there is nothing to worry about – you should close the page displaying the fraudulent pop-ups, and forget about its pitiful tactic attempt.
