Tech Support Scams
Scam artists are using the phone to try to break into your computer. They call, claiming
to be computer techs associated with well-known companies like Microsoft or from the
University of Toledo's IT Department. They say that they have detected viruses or
other malware on your computer to trick you into giving them remote access or your
UTAD credentials.
If you get a call from someone who claims to be a tech support person, hang up and call them back yourself on a phone number you know to be genuine.
