Fell for a fake antivirus popup last month

That was my whole rent money gone in 10 minutes. The scammer even showed me fake errors to keep me scared. Now I just close the browser when I see those alerts.

My uncle fell for something similar, thought he was talking to Microsoft support for three hours...

Stop letting these scammers get away with this stuff. Your uncle probably got scared by that fake warning popup, right? Those things are designed to panic you into calling their fake support line. I swear these people are getting more creative every year with their tricks. Gotta warn your family about this stuff, it's getting out of hand.
