Even, in the name of giving access to the addictive online games or lottery sites, you will be suggested to fill up some kind of forms using your personal identifying information.
While browsing Internet, if you see pop ups from this misleading domain then you should not believe it. In fact, you should scan your computer your Antivirus software and try to delete infected files or programs from your computer. Further, we suggest you to note that contacting con artists who claim to be a Microsoft certified technician may not be beneficial to you. However, we want give you a demo about what happens when you contact them. First of all, they will try to talk as genuine technician and then they will ask you to provide remote access to your computer using custom version of Teamviewer or other RDP software. When you do so, they just inform you that your computer is compromised with a deadly malware or spyware and your Banking credentials, Facebook login, emails accounts login are at high risk.
