’855-692-9288′ Pop-Ups

Posted: November 16, 2015

There can be no different opinions about the necessity to keep your PC clean at all times. However, you should trust only the notifications from your anti-malware program or else you may get fooled. Some people may make the mistake of trusting random pop-ups that claim they are infected, which may lead to substantial financial losses. This is the case with the 855-692-9288 warnings that you may encounter as you surf the Web. They may state that your PC is infected with threats, and urge you to dial the listed phone number for assistance. In theory, this way you should reach some qualified technicians that may, sometimes, introduce themselves as Microsoft experts.

In reality, the con artists that will answer the call will do everything possible to make you pay them voluntarily a lot of money. They may try to scare you by mentioning some potential adverse consequences such as losing files from your hard drive. The con artist may say that your bank accounts are at stake, and some random hackers may get access to them. The sum that these fraudsters demand is not strictly defined. The bogus technicians act depending on how scared the computer user seems to be. If they feel that you believe them, they may ask for up to $500-$600. What is even worse, these people may encourage the callers to install some software that can grant them remote access. The con artists may use these newly acquired administrators privileges to load actual threats. If the '855-692-9288' pop-ups are appearing regularly, your Web clients may be infected with a browser hijacker. You should scan your PC with advanced security software to clean it immediately.
