'ERROR! Call for support!' Pop-Ups

The 'ERROR! Call for support!' pop-ups can catch many users by surprise, because they may appear while the users are browsing low-quality Web pages associated with the distribution of dubious content – software cracks, pirated games, pirated media, etc. These pop-ups may be shown in a new tab, which displays a page that is designed to look very similar to the Microsoft's official website. This may seem weird for now, but it will make more sense when we tell you what the 'ERROR! Call for support!' pop-ups may include. These messages may often claim that the page has detected suspicious activity on the user's computer, or they need to solve a software problem that may lead to corrupted files and data loss urgently. The subjects that the 'ERROR! Call for support!' pop-ups display may vary, but they have one thing in common – they always mention some computer issue.

The 'ERROR! Call for support!' pop-ups may continue by telling the user that they can solve all pending computer issues by doing one simple thing – calling licensed Microsoft support agents to assist them immediately. Many people might fall for this simple trick, but the truth is that Microsoft would never promote their support services through dodgy messages like the ones seen in the 'ERROR! Call for support!' pop-ups. Furthermore, the Microsoft's support staff should only be contacted through the Microsoft's official website, and you should never trust 3rd-party websites that claim to promote Microsoft's services.

The phone number that the 'ERROR! Call for support!' pop-ups promote is 844-835-0929, and this is supposedly a toll-free phone line, which gets users in touch with certified computer technicians.

The people behind these tactics may request remote access to the victim's computer, and harm their computers intentionally to make the 'ERROR! Call for support!' pop-ups seem more believable. Usually, the goal of these people is to convince the victim to pay money for questionable services and software that will supposedly help them get their computers back to normal.
