Hey it's Katy. So yesterday i was on my regular websites (deviantart and wiki chat), when a window popped up saying the tab was from the Microsoft Official Support. Then it said "Connectiondisabled.com says: **YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN BLOCKED** Error code # 3657e2b1a86af0c. Next it said I should call a number at (888) 586-7012 and if i ignore the "safety alert" and close the page before calling them, my computer access would be disabled to prevent further damage to THEIR network! After that it saiaid I had information that was compromised (facebook, which I dont have, credit card numbet, email account login, and photos stored on my computer!). Again it stated that I immediately call the number so their "engineers" can walk me through the removal process. "A certified Windows Support agent is standing by for your call right now." *

stated toll free number again*

I know what your thinking, yes, I knew it was a scam! (Although I still got a little scared, because this is something that you should be cautious about.)

Now about a month ago, my mom had a different kind of hacker problem( but she actually clicked something, there was a robotic voice on the computer, and she called the number... ) it turned out it was fine when she took it into a computer fix it store.

What did I do? I shut off my computer right away! I didnt call the number, but somehow They got my number and I got a robo call (it said my Windows account key was about to expire and to call a different toll free number!). This was freaky... A couple hours later my mom got home and we took it to the store, where the guy confirmed it had a virus! I actually took a picture of the window on my phone (that's why I know what it said exactly XD) Then when we returned from the store, we got ANOTHER 2 CALLS! (The same one as before. Of course the computer guy said to just ignore these calls.)


 * sighs* Anyway, in the end I won't be getting my laptop back for 2-3 days so in the meantime I'll be using my tablet and won't be on chat as much for the next few days. If you see any spelling errors on here, its because my tablet's spelling is all messed up (sometimes words bunch together, it's weird). :( I thought I would give you all a heads up and if you need me, I'll be checking thisintot alot so just comment down below and I'll reply and try to hop into chat.
