How is a scam
In this scam, the first victim’s computer is sent a message about a serious technology problem. In this, the victim is asked to call a helpline number. This number calls for a fee to protect against viruses.
This fee is sought online so that the victim’s bank details are known to the scam gang. From this bank detail, the gang commits other kinds of disturbances which cause financial injury to the victim.
