Telephone Scam - Caller Claims to be from Microsoft

We've become aware of an increasingly common scam which has taken in a number of our customers as well as hearing word of it from family and friends. One of our engineers also had the scam call, so we were able to gain first-hand knowledge of what happens. The scam is well-documented here on The Guardian's website but we also know that more stubborn recipients of the call (like our engineer) will be asked to perform other so-called checks (like CheckDisk/CHKDSK) to see how your PC is running in addition to looking at the Event Viewer.

While the internet offers boundless opportunities for information and connection, it also harbours risks, and these seemingly innocuous characters can be a gateway to trouble. I came across this article the other day and it detailed something I wasn't aware of. https://chriscoyier.net/2023/05/22/if-youre-trying-to-trick-people-into-thinking-a-domain-name-is-legit-and-definitely-not-harmful-just-put-google-com-in-front-of-it/ So where does this link go :- https://www.bbc.co.uk.news.england.south.yorkshire@quad.co.uk/links/not-the-page-you-wanted.htm At first glance (and certainly if you only saw the first 50 characters) you'd be forgiven for thinking that you would end up on the BBC's website.  Hover over it first, then give it a click to se...
