This E-mail is to inform you of a tech support phone scam.
The scam involves callers posing as tech support from major computer companies telling consumers that they have detected malware on their computers. You will be asked to pay a charge of $49 to $450 to remotely access and remove the malware. The scammers claimed to be with companies such as Google, Microsoft, McAfee, and Norton.
Also be mindful that these scams are targeting home users as well as corporations.
