Today’s Tip: AVOID Scams!
Microsoft, Google, Amazon and other large companies will NEVER call you and NEVER ask for remote access to your computers, phones or other electronic devices.
They will never ask for passwords, personal information like social security numbers or bank accounts numbers.
If you hang up on them, they will NOT keep calling back.
In short, if you receive calls from people asking you for this kind of information, please hang up. We’ve been raised to be polite and considerate, but in this type of situation, the most polite and safe thing you can do for yourself is to hang up—and then say no.
If you suspect you’ve been hacked, please contact your bank and other financial institutions and let them know to be alert for suspicious activity in your accounts.
There are good security products to help minimize risks, but your actions have the most impact to keep you protected.
