Microsoft calls
Due to the home office situation in many companies, many citizens are at home and receive corresponding calls. Due to the need for the PCs/laptops/tablets to be functional for work, unfortunately not all citizens hang up, but allow the fraudsters to access their PCs/laptops/tablets.
The text reads as follows: "The computer reports signals to Microsoft so that external maintenance must be carried out."
Fake shops
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Christmas period, many purchases of electronic goods are being made online. Price is the most important factor here, as the lowest price is the best price on the internet. However, the offers are often not real, the companies are rarely based in Germany and the accounts are located abroad. Before making an online purchase, you can and should check on the website of our cooperation partner, the Consumer Protection Center, whether the online store already has any registrations. This is not a hundred percent guarantee, but it can ensure that money is not sent to fraudsters.
