I wanted to check the MEI/EMI(?) number of my new phone, so I entered it on a look-up site. Up popped one of those screen blockers. "There is a problem with your computer! Call Microsoft!" Fortunately, I was able to click on the tab, close it, and continue working. I'm surprised that Defender didn't warn me about that site. I wonder how many people call the number and pay to have their computers fixed.
I have received an email that I purchased an item to be delivered next day priced $540.00 and I was billed through my PayPal account. I have not ordered anything for that amount and my PayPal account is being closed for the past three years. There is a phone number to call, but no one answers it. Please be aware of this scam.
