Yahoo warning!!

7/22/2013

I have had two clients have a problem with fake Yahoo representatives.  They had small problems with their email and searched the Yahoo help forums.  Then a chat window would pop up that looked like it was from Yahoo instructing the person to call them for help and giving them an 800 number.  When they called, the person would get them to allow remote access.  Then the person would show them all sorts of corrupted files and stopped services and offer to fix them for $70.

Fortunately both of these people realized that this couldn't be Yahoo and shut down their computers.

It is EXTREMELY rare for a legitimate company to go from computer chat to a phone call without extensive troubleshooting first.  Additionally any company you do call, especially like Yahoo, would, almost always, have a long hold time.

Always be cautious whenever someone you don't know wants remote computer access.

When I discuss data backup and data recovery with people, a lot of times, I am told "I don't have anything important to save."  While that may be true please remember about your pictures or old school projects.  Now that digital is the way of pictures losing your hard drive can mean losing all of your memories.  Please call me about getting a computer backup plan in place.

Is that email link real?

So you got an email from a company offering you a free gift card, or it  may be someplace you do regular business with that tells you to change your  security.  How do you know it is real?

Look at the link or the sender:  Say it is a gift card from Target.  The link address
would not be anything like
Targetgifts@hotmail.com  It would only come from Target.com  Same with anyplace you do regular business.  The last part of the email will be their web address.

If it is someplace where you do regular business, and they want you to update security information or passwords,  NEVER use the link.  Open your internet browser and go to the site like you normally would.  If  they want security updates it will tell you after you log in.  If not, you know the email was fake.
