Here’s a good reason to use the Millennium Group instead of some online support system.
A new scareware variant known as “Security Master AV” has taken intimidation techniques to a new level. Now scareware cybercriminals masks themselves as an online support system, and one that appears wholly functional.
Now you can innocently find technical online support for your computer problems that takes the form of a LIVE chat with fake technicians. Real people chatting with you online- and you think they’re there to help you. In truth, they’re criminals anxious to take your money and scam you.
Security researchers have learned that cyber criminals also provide technical support via e-mail and telephone. The e-mail method works quite well in case the user does not know English. The live chat prompts the user that he should forward an e-mail in his native language to the given e-mail address to get the technical support in the native language.
In order to convince the user that their program is not a scam, cyber criminals offer a trial version of their program absolutely free that can clear fake threats. If the user informs the cyber criminals that they need assistance, they will offer him a ‘Free Trial’ version of the program that removes infection detected by the first one (i.e. one day version). This second fake program also uses the same “Online support” button.
