MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — You need to be wary of popups or emails saying your computer is infected with a virus. Lisa Schiller with the Better Business Bureau says they’ve been seeing more customer support scams lately.
“It’s something that works. It works for the con artist, and so they’ll continue to, you know, perpetuate that they are a person or a business that they are not in order to gain your money, your trust, your personal information,” Schiller said.
One new wrinkle is an increase in scams targeting Apple users. Scammers have a new tool that can be used to access Apple accounts through Safari, so iPhone and iPad users should watch for bogus popups and unwanted apps.
