An antivirus scam scared me

I ignored it. But I received another weird email and another one. I wonder why. Did you receive them too?

@dya80dya I don't know... If I receive one scam, I put the email into the "Junk" folder and I never see anymore from that email address. Junk email gets deleted automatically.

@DaddyEvil Do you use Gmail or Yahoo mail? I am using Yahoo mail and there are lots and lots of weird emails.

Thank you, I think these videos will be useful. I almost believed some of these scams.

@dya80dya One of the common scams is for 'Norton' - scammers use 'Microsoft Windows' as well to trick people into thinking they are legitimate. A hallmark of scams is that the scammers tend to try to bully you, scare you, hurry you up, ask you to share your screen, keep you on the phone for ages. If you are ever in a situation like that - two things - turn off your computer - I mean either pull the plug or push the off button till the screen goes black - and hang up on the scammer and block their number. If you worry that they have added anything to your computer, it is a sensible thing to go to your local computer store and ask them to check that there is nothing on it that will allow access. They often use those digital answering devices and typically don't speak English clearly. I've seen a few try to do a scam in Spanish - I don't speak Spanish so I don't know if they spoke it well but I suspect someone who's native language is Spanish would be able to know right away.

It's true, it's another scam. I read more about it. Lately, I found a lot of scams. Something happened. I completed surveys and maybe a hacker found my phone number.

@dya80dya Yes some dont know for sure.

It's good that I know this. Some people don't know it and they steal their hard-earned money.
