In 2021, a jaw-dropping $347 million evaporated into the ether courtesy of cunning technical support scams. As the digital age expands, more internet users become entangled in the web of deceit spun by these online tricksters each year. Drawing from my years in the tech industry, I’ve witnessed the havoc these shams wreak on unsuspecting individuals and businesses.
My mission? To equip you with the knowledge and armor to stand unscathed.
And there’s one tip that could save you from some serious online heartache.
Picture this: A long-time client of over a decade rings me up in a flurry. They’d just been contacted by a so-called “Microsoft representative,” spinning tales of doom about their infected Windows PC. But fear not—this helpful soul could miraculously cleanse their system. All it took was a quick expedition to a prescribed website to save their digital life from impending doom.
Luckily, my client’s scam radar was in full force. They bid the fraudulent tech wizard adieu, reached for the phone, and called me. A single click as directed could have opened the floodgates to a tidal wave of malware and viruses poised to steal their identity.
