Fraudulent Virus Cleaning POP-UPs
Have you had a pop-up window appear on your screen, telling you that you have a virus?
- It's fake. (Even if it says "MontanaSky Networks" or the name of your current provider)
- Do not call the number!
- Do not allow remote access to your computer!
- Do not give them your credit card!
You may have a computer virus.
These scammers often infect your computer and then ask for money to get it off.
If you have done any of those actions listed above:
- Call your bank and cancel the credit card you used to pay for the service.
- Dispute the charges with your credit card issuing company.
- Take your computer to a local trusted computer repair shop and have them clean it.
