The fake Call Technician Now at 1-914-465-0012 window locks users’ screens to scare them into dialing the telephone number 1-914-465-0012. Users not only cannot access their Desktops, but also see a message claiming that malicious files have been found on the system. The pop-up window placed on top of the blue window also tells users that the computer is locked “due to unauthorized activity.” Many gullible users believe that these are messages shown by Windows. Therefore, they decide to make a call and thus solve this problem as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this is the major mistake they make. We have no doubts that “technicians” they contact will offer to fix the PC issue and thus remove the window for them because there are buttons of CMD, LogMeIn, Supremo, GotoAssist, and TeamViewer on the fake window – these tools will, most probably, be used to access a user’s PC remotely. The service is not free, and you might experience a bunch of problems if you entrust the so-called technical support with the task of fixing the computer issue for you. For example, your important information might be stolen if you allow these people (most probably, cyber crooks) to access your PC remotely or submit the personal information yourself.
