Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam

Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam is a fictitious security warning that claims that your computer has become infected with malicious software and that your logins and passwords are at risk. It encourages you to call a fake tech support phone number to get assistance. The scam uses a scare tactic which is to claim that your PC will be disabled if you close this scam’s window. The truth is that you can do that without consequence and remove the malicious application that was designed to redirect you to Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam’s web page. In addition, the software is also said to collect anonymous information about you and show third-party ads to make more money. For more detailed information, we invite you to read this whole article.

Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam tries to pass on a security warning from Google, but the problem is that Google does not do anything similar. The pop-up that can appear in your browser window claims that your PC has been infected with pornographic spyware/riskware. While it is true that porn sites can collect information about user activity using browser cookies, web beacons, and so on, pornographic malware is not a thing. Also, Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam claims that your logins, password, and other personal information may be at risk, but you should not believe that, of course. The scammers want you to call 0-800-090-3913 to get assistance with removing the malware that they claim has infected your computer. The people impersonating Google’s tech support will most likely ask you to pay for their services which is the whole point — they want your money. Needless to say, you will not get the help you need to fix the issue, so do not call that number.

On top of that, the malicious software on your might collect some anonymous information about you to present you with relevant ads you are more likely to click. It might collect information such as your IP address, browsing history, search queries entered in search engines, browser type, operating system type, and so on. Obviously, you should not allow that malicious program to keep tabs on you because the information can be misused.
