Tech support scams are a persistent and increasingly sophisticated threat as Black Friday approaches.
These scams involve fraudsters impersonating trusted tech companies to trick victims into handing over money or personal details.
Scammers use tactics like cold calls or pop-up warnings to initiate the scams and often request remote access to steal data or install malware.
To protect yourself, ignore unsolicited calls, never allow remote access, and be cautious of fake pop-ups. Keep software updated and contact trusted sources for tech support.
