It Starts with a Simple Question
"Who can you turn to for help after falling victim to a Tech scam?" After spending years working for an Antivirus company, dealing with malware and listening to folks impacted by Tech scam “Hackers” and their tales of woe, I felt a calling to lend a hand.
You know, it's heartbreaking when people affected by these scams ask, "Why couldn't you stop this?" The truth is, the tech world is a wild place, with around 560,000 new pieces of malware popping up every single day. No Antivirus can be an impenetrable shield. Most tech scams kick off with those pesky popups. Fact is, these annoying windows are like unwanted guests – they'll show up. Ad blockers help, but it's what you do next that really matters. Those popups often lead to someone claiming your device is infested with viruses and trying to nab remote control. From there, they might target your bank accounts or offer overpriced software you don't even need.
And guess what? It's often our loved ones who bear the brunt. You know the drill – securing bank accounts, making sure the device is safe to use. But here's the twist: not many can really figure out if those sneaky viruses are still lurking. We've seen phony "Network security" or "Fire Wall" software installed. But the real kicker is when actual malware is sitting on your system and your Antivirus just shrugs it off. This basically means the Antivirus lets that nasty software do its thing – like swiping your personal info.
So, who do you turn to after this mess? The options seem scarce. You might try your Antivirus company, but these cases often blur the lines. Your trusty antivirus software might not want to dive in. Then there's the local technician route, but are they skilled in these matters? And what if you didn't even have an Antivirus in the first place? Maybe you're tempted to call the local police, but things can get tangled up with jurisdictions.
And that's where we step in. Drawing from my experience of helping countless folks pick up the pieces, we're here to assist. We'll ensure your devices are good to go, guide you on the next steps, and show you how to slam the door on future scams.
