  • So you got a fake virus message, but how did it get on to your computer and who is responsible for these messages?
    PC Protection Help LLP create these fake messages. Not only do they create them, but they periodically log back into the PCs of the people they previously scammed in order to scam them again with yet more popups which the sneakily place on the browser.
    Unusually, this group are in Jaipur (66/114, Pratap Nagar, Sanganer, Sector 11, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302033, India), but they have a connection in the US. The owner's name appears on all invoices and he pays for their phone services.
    The company website is compiko.online and their address also appears on fix69.com

      I mean I was once figuring out something with Microsoft and they connected to my computer. With a bunch of agreements etc., but it was legit Microsoft, I connected them from the Windows 10 in-build support option.
      I am good with computers myself, but it was a kind of strange thing with notifications we were figuring out.
      You can also have an additional store warranty for your device, and they can help you remotely as well.
      So as for the advice to never allow anyone to remotely control your computer I would disagree. You can do that, but just if you're certain those people are legit.

But when I moved out, the first thing I did, was to call me if anything wrong was with computers. In the last 10 years, I only got 3 calls about it. 1 was about a similar scam with virus popup. And from talking with them about it later on, it appears my mothers co-worker also had a similar scam appear on her computer, and my mother told her it was a scam, as she was about ready to call in for "help".

Imagine getting charged more than what that computer is worth to fix a non existent problem which can be evaded by opening task manager and force closing the browser (and that's if you don't get the "prevent this page from creating any more dialogues" option presented to you!)

Its the nuanced ease of conversation that comes with a US based English 1st speaker that allows me quicker insight into their intentions and purpose. Sometimes a chat about another topic unrelated to the business at hand helps to validate who im speaking to. Especially if on going contact with a company is needed to clear something up.
      A person's accent, use of language, education, and socioeconomic upbringing is a window into their very existence.
      It is very difficult to hide these 4 traits in a conversation. So its a tool i use as an extra layer of protection to more quickly ascertain what entity im dealing with.
