Do you get a strange phone call? Always be alert! There are all kinds of scams over the telephone. Fraudsters, for example, present themselves as bank employees in order to extract bank details.
Help desk fraud is also a well-known scam trick. For example, when someone calls you from "Microsoft" who tells you that there are all kinds of problems with your computer. These 'Microsoft callers' tell you - often in poor English - that your computer is infected. They try to convince you to give them access to your computer so that they can solve the "problem." These 'Microsoft callers' try to convince you that they can help, but meanwhile they are out for your data or money.
Don't fall for it! Before you know it, the scammers can enter your computer system and then, for example, your online banking environment. Hang up immediately.
