'855-524-2270' Pop-Ups

Online technical support tactics work in a similar way, which involves displaying fake pop-ups in a user's Web browser, as an attempt to convince computer users that they are in urgent need of technical support services. One example of such misleading messages are the '855-524-2270' pop-ups. These pop-ups may appear on a broad range of websites that users may come across involuntarily. It should not come as a surprise if you come across these pop-ups while browsing low-quality websites that are used to distribute unsafe ads, as low-quality advertising campaigns are one of the most popular ways to deliver the '855-524-2270' pop-ups to as many users as possible.

Usually, pop-ups associated with technical support tactics may use a broad range of misleading or false statements to trick users into thinking that they need help to remove malware from their computers or to fix critical system errors desperately. The '855-524-2270' pop-ups state that the user's computer has been blocked due to suspicious behavior and signs of unsafe activity and their information, e-mails, chats, login credentials, and credit card data may be accessible by cyber crooks unless they take care of the problem immediately. The pop-ups and the page that contains them are designed to look as if they come from the Microsoft Corporation, but you can rest assured that major companies would never promote their services via Web browser pop-ups. Last but not least, the '855-524-2270' pop-ups advise users to call 855-524-2270 if they want to acquire the helping services of certified computer experts who'll help them resolve the problem in a matter of minutes.

However, users who opt to call '855-524-2270' will not get the promised help. Instead, they'll hear more fake things about their computers' health and security, and in the end, they might be asked to perform several actions that will benefit the con artists:

• Pay for expensive technical support services or subscriptions.
• Purchase overpriced PC optimization or anti-malware software that may not work.
• Enter their credit card information on a page provided by the con artist.
• Provide the fake computer technician with remote access to their PCs.
