Phishing Phone Call!
We just received a call from an unknown caller asking us to go to our computer because they were getting
a lot of warning alerts on their computer to appear to be coming from our computer. The caller wanted us
to go to our computer and they would be willing to instruct us on how to fix this. This is most likely a
phishing call and you should hang up. They would have most likely instructed to go to a web page that
would have installed a virus or something similar and then told us that we would have to pay a fee to have
it removed. If you get this type of calls or e-mail, protect yourself and hang up. You can create a new
message and drag and drop the phishing email into the new message. Address the message to phishing-
report@us-cert.gov and send it to them.
