Every week, people are tricked by convincing pop-up messages, fake security alerts, and callers pretending to represent Microsoft, Apple, internet providers, banks, or antivirus companies. These scams are designed to create panic and pressure victims into giving strangers remote access to their computers.
You're not alone. Modern tech support scams are designed to fool ordinary people, and they successfully deceive individuals of all ages and technical experience. We help customers recover from these scams on a regular basis. Our focus isn't on how it happened, it's on securing your computer and helping you move forward.
These are common signs of a modern tech support scam. If you've allowed an unknown person remote access to your computer, it's a good idea to have your system inspected. Even after the phone call ends, unauthorized software or security changes may still remain.
PC Warehouse can inspect your computer, remove unwanted remote access software, and help restore your system's security and your peace of mind.
If financial accounts were accessed during the scam, we also recommend contacting your bank or credit card provider as soon as possible and changing passwords from a trusted device.
