Here are a few tips to help you avoid falling victim to tech support scams:
- Be cautious of unsolicited calls. Do not trust any unsolicited callers claiming to be associated with a tech support service. It is also important to remember that window genuine notifications are always scams.
- Only trust reliable sources. Don’t just assume a support line is trustworthy, always go through authoritative sources such as official websites.
- Do not reveal personal information. Be cautious about revealing personal details such as credit card numbers, address, passwords or any other information.
- Use a secure website. Always use websites that employ a secure connection. You can tell you’re using a secure website when the URL starts with ‘https’.
- Be Aware of advertising tactics. Watch out for ads that promise quick fixes and look for quality reviewed service providers from well-known sources.
