Do you have an Apple Mac computer and you have had a call from BT or Apple saying that your internet is slow?
BT or Apple never call customers to say that you have a slow iMac or a slow broadband connection – it is a 100% a scam call.
A common call from BT is to say that in order to fix a slow broadband problem we need to access your home computer. Or from Apple Computer saying that we can help speed up a slow iMac or a slow MacBook Air or slow MacBook Pro laptop computer. Or that your Apple Mac computer has a virus or malware and we need to remote in to fix the problem. Or that your home Wi-Fi wireless network is not secure.
Of course, the bogus scammers know that some people have a slow broadband connection and by gaining access to your home computer or home Apple Mac computer, the hackers often ask to install TeamViewer remote software onto your Apple Mac computer. It is easy for a hacker to find out if a UK address has a slow broadband internet connection speed, and they then focus on trying to scam customers.
