Lately there is an increase in phone scams.
The fraudsters claiming to be from your bank, phone company, computer provider or other well-known organisations call you with authentic sounding requests.
They may claim to fix your computer problem, credit your bank account , hexelp to remove virus from your computer , upgrade your network etc.
The fraudsters would take you in confidence and request you to give them remote access to your computer (remote control can be given by pressing a few keys on your computer), The fraudster can use this remote access to access your online banking.and remove your money .
if you get any such call , simply ask for a reference number and call back from your phone. never call fraudster's number but call a published number of the bank or phone company.. never give out your password or account information or a code received on SMS to any one who calls you over phone.
