[ ARTICLE - COMPUTER HELP DESK SCAMS ALERT ]
Computer
Help Desk
Scams are
everywhere!
They are very
insidious and
often hidden
behind flowery
language and
pretty
pictures. All
seeking to
defraud their
victims by
playing on
their lack of
knowledge and
innocence.
Plus, they
know what
various social
demographics
of people to
target upon
too. So it's a
“Buyer Beware”
event. Sadly,
many decent
good-hearted
individuals
get duped into
their fee
based traps
and lose a lot
of money over
it. Computer
Help Desk
Scams are not
a victimless
crime.

[ Be Alert For Spoofed Local Phone Numbers ]
"As
people try to
screen
unwanted phone
calls,
unscrupulous
telemarketers
and scam
artists have
looked for new
ways to lure
people to
answer calls.
One
increasingly
common
technique scam
artists use is
to falsify or
“spoof” their
caller ID
information
with local
phone numbers
or information
to make it
look like the
calls are
coming from a
nearby person
or business.
While the
caller’s
information
may falsely
appear local,
the calls are
often placed
by scam
artists who
are located
outside the
state or
country."
