Information on Tech Support Scams from the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit

Rules of Engagement from the BBB

  • Don’t ever give a stranger remote access to your machine: Granting someone remote access to your computer permits them to install malware and access your files. Don’t do it!
  • Don’t believe Caller ID: Victims report falling for this scam because the calls appear to come from Apple Support. Scammers often spoof phone numbers, so don’t believe what you see on your phone.
  • Check out BBB Tips: Many tech support scams use similar techniques; see bbb.org/techsupportscam/ for more advice.
