Avoid these computer cons
Computer Help
I’m writing this article to give you a little insight into common traps that appear on the Internet everyday. As soon as you recognize the con, you will have no problem keeping your computer healthy. Have a look at these common cons.
Security Scan
This pop-up ad is made to look like a virus warning message. The “warning” tells you that you have a virus and offers to fix it for a fee information to make you think it is legitimate. Any pop-up that asks you for money to fix a problem you didn’t know you had is a con. As you pay them the money, the phantom virus goes away. At this point you have a poorly written software package that has no value. In addition, these applications can often interfere with your legitimate virus protection Now, you spent your money and caused more problems than you fixed.
Free products
I can’t stress this enough, anything that offers you anything for free is a con. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Any type of message or an email telling you that you won or you have been selected for anything, you are about to get a flood of email. There is no UK lottery or Internet lottery, I promise. Also, I don’t like your chances of receiving the free iPod just for clicking a link and submitting your ship to address. Stay away from these ads.
Cheap medications
Just no, it doesn’t happen. While there may be reputable pharmacies in Canada, they did not send you email informing you of their big sale. Nor do they only sell products that some may be embarrassed to buy from the local Walgreens. The plan here is to simply never send you anything and they hope you will not call your bank to cancel the CC transaction. There is always a long delivery time in the hopes that people will either forget or lose interest.
