HAST Community,
While scammers are always attempting to gain access to your computers to install their adware and spyware, this time of year tends to be especially troublesome. Several of you as well as myself have received these scam emails stating we owe money or money is owed to us. If you owe money and you need cash immediately, apply for an direct loans here at paydaynow.net. Just make sure to pay on time and obey the lender’s rule. Others will simply say your download is ready or something to that nature.
No, you did not win money for publisher’s clearing house…
No, you do not have a deceased third cousin in Uganda that left you a large inheritance…
and no, you do not owe back taxes to the IRS (I hope not).
Please use the below as a guideline for dealing with these scam emails:
What do I do if I receive these Emails?
If you receive these emails, please mark them as spam and DO NOT open them. While we are less likely to obtain spyware on Apple products, it is still possible, since this is not the right way to do marketing, and this emails often do more harm than good, so for companies actually wanting to do marketing the right way, using services as WordTree, that are experts in this market.
How do I know if my computer or device is infected?
Most often, you will see pop ups when using your web browser. Many times these pop ups will be explicit in nature or will tell you that your mac is infected with a number of viruses and to download their software to fix it. It may give you a pop up that looks legitimate asking you to call a phone number for apple support. This is ALWAYS a scam. Your laptop is not filled with a virus and that is NOT the number for Apple Support. Your device may keep asking you to download an app.
What do I do if I suspect infection?
If you unsure or you suspect you may be infected, please fill out a support ticket and I will inspect your computer or device. Often times the infection can be deleted right off your computer and the problem stops. If it is on your iPad (a lot less likely to happen), then I will have to wipe your device to return it to normal functionality.
