Cyber-Bob's Cyber Safety Tip #126 — Fake Tech Support Pop-Ups

Image
https://youtu.be/okdkCIEv-34 That scary browser warning may look official… but it might just be a scammer banging pots and pans on your screen. In Cyber-Bob’s Cyber Safety Tip #126, Bob The Cyber-Guy explains why fake tech support pop-ups still fool people, especially the ones shouting things like “Your computer is infected!” or “Call this number now!” These pop-ups are designed to scare you into clicking, calling, paying, or giving someone remote access to your computer. Bob shows what to watch for, what not to do, and how to safely close the warning without handing your digital house keys to a stranger. Before panic takes over, pause, breathe, and remember: real security doesn’t scream at you from a browser window. Stay safe, stay secure, stay curious — and remember my friends, you’re never too old to outsmart a scammer. 👋 Created by Norbert (Bob) Gostischa with a little help from ChatGPT and NotebookLM Slide Deck.
