'Google Chrome Support Centre' Alerts

Posted: May 29, 2018

The 'Google Chrome Support Centre' alerts are not real and seeing them in your Web browser does not mean that you have a critical security issue that needs to be taken care of certainly. These fraudulent alerts are part of an elaborate technical support tactic, which aims to trick users into thinking that they need to seek the services of computer technicians immediately. The pages used to host the 'Google Chrome Support Centre' alerts might often be advertised on low-quality websites associated with the distribution of adult content or pirated software and media so that these are the places where you are most likely to encounter these fraudulent messages.

When the 'Google Chrome Support Centre' alerts are displayed, they might utilize special scripts to prevent you from closing the currently opened tab, as well as to stop you from switching to any other browser tabs. While this trick is just annoying, less experienced users might think it's a symptom of the reported problem, and they might be tempted to follow the advice seen in the alerts. However, we assure you that the advice provided by the 'Google Chrome Support Centre' alerts is not credible since it requires you to call the number +61-1800-875-384, which is meant to get in you in touch with certified Google technical support staff. Needless to say, Google's support team would never advertise their services like this, and the phone number promoted by the 'Google Chrome Support Centre' Alerts is associated with a number of online tactics, which aim to collect money and information.

If you notice these alerts in your Web browser, we advise you to close them immediately and ignore their contents. If you find it difficult to close the tab, which spawned the pop-ups, then you might need to restart your Web browser entirely to resolve the issue. In the meantime, users who opt to call these people might hear more lies regarding the security and health of their PC.s All this is done to trick the users into spending ludicrous amounts of money on the fake services or software that these people are likely to offer.
