How can I avoid falling for fake tech support scams?

1. Make sure you know the websites and companies you trust.
2. Do not click on links or open attachments from unsolicited emails.
3. Never give control of your computer to a third party unless you can confirm that it is a legitimate representative of a computer support team.
4. Do not provide your passwords in response to an email, pop-up, or phone calls.
5. Be cautious about offers of free products, services, and software from businesses or individuals you don’t know.
