There’s an old scam that keeps popping up from time to time, and I’m hearing lots of reports that it’s spreading like wildfire at the moment.
A while back I wrote a post explaining that neither Microsoft nor Apple will call you to let you know that your machine has a virus.
And they won’t, so if you get a call like that from out of the blue you should know right off the bat that the call is a scam. Just hang up on them.
But now there’s a quickly spreading variation of that scam that’s costing a lot of folks a lot of money and causing tons of grief to boot.
If you’ve been using Facebook for more than five minutes you’re probably well aware that hackers and scammers love targeting Facebook users with all kinds of fraudulent activities.
