INFORMATION ABOUT A SCAM
A new scam, in which fraudsters pose as legitimate ISPs to offer bogus tech support, either via the phone or on the net, is on the rise.
The online version of the scam involves a realistic pop-up which interrupts a victim's normal browsing session with a message that appears to be legitimate and seems to come from YOUR real ISP.
The pop-up scam seems to be mainly focused in the US at the moment, with Verizon, AT&T and TimeWarner all being impersonated but Malwarebytes also discovered fake pages set up for BT, PlusNet, Sky and TalkTalk.
"Our advice is that customers should never share their BT account number with anyone and should always shred bills. Be wary of calls or emails you're not expecting. Even if someone quotes your BT account number, you shouldn't trust them with your personal information." This goes for all other ISP's as well. We have already come across this on computers so beware. If in doubt go no further with any requests and contact us for help if you think it is needed.
