Narrator: Scammers often target your technology,
saying something is wrong with your computer
and claiming they can fix it.
You may receive an unsolicited call, email, text,
or popup message claiming to be from a tech company.
These impostors want access to your computer
to get to your personal information and money.
It's okay to hang up on scammers
and delete suspicious messages.
Never click on pop-up warnings
or call unverified phone numbers.
Never share your financial account information
or passwords with anyone who contacts you unsolicited,
and don't give remote access to your computer
unless you initiated contact with a legitimate company.
That's like giving your house keys to a stranger.
If you believe you've been scammed,
change your passwords immediately
and ask someone you trust for help.
Tell your bank and law enforcement and report it to the FTC.
