You're having trouble with that new laptop you bought as a present. You've just about got it running but you can't quite figure out how to finish it off.
All of a sudden the phone rings and a voice says: "This Microsoft/Apple/Google/Dell/HP we see that you have managed to connect to the internet using one of our machines/software but look like you could do with some support. We're here to help you. All we need is your username and password…"
These scammers work on the principle that eventually they will find someone in exactly that position and upon receiving such a call the frustrated user is very likely not to question but rather welcome the caller.
All this caller is trying to do is help themselves to your login details and steal valuable data from your machine.
Sadly, there are more than 12 scams to watch out for, but be particularly aware of those scams that take advantage of the time of year.
Context is everything to the successful scam. If it appears relevant, useful or personal it is much more likely to succeed.
