I just received a very disturbing phone call today. Someone claiming to be "PC Bits" called a customer of mine. They claimed there was "an immediate security risk" to their computer.
This is a scam folks. NO legitimate company or government agency EVER calls people claiming to know their computer is infected!
PC Bits cannot monitor your computer and I NEVER call my customers without their permission.
Please take some time to read these three web sites! Educate yourself and your friends and family about these scammers.
If you receive a phone call from anyone claiming to know your computer is infected, do not listen to anything they say!!! State clearly that you know this call is a scam and that you are reporting this call to the FBI. Then HANG UP!
