URGENT ALERT RE HACKERS, VIRUSES, AND DANGEROUS THREATs
Today I received an urgent, very loud, alert from what appeared to be Microsoft, telling me the computer was in serious danger from hackers trying to gain access to my personal information. I was instructed not to turn my computer off or leave the page and was afraid to exit. I was also instructed to call the phone number provided immediately. I was not aware of any MS security threat scams and was quite worried. The technician I spoke to on the phone assured me he was a licensed MS technician and that since my computer had already been hacked, all my personal information was in jeopardy. This was a first for me and decided it would be best to trust his judgment. He accessed my computer and seemed to think 17 hackers were attempting to take over my computer and said my entire security system was locked, so I would not be able to proceed without removal of the threat and the addition of a network firewall and an IP protection. He took me to a web page for RIGHTPCEXPERTS.COM in Tampa, and gave the impression they are affiliated with Microsoft. Because I am age 69 he offered me a "discounted price" of 299.00 and I was left to believe it was imperative, as all my devices were in danger. I was then referred to a second agent who said he would be able to remedy the problems with my PC. HE REMOVED MY SYSTEM MECHANIC AND THEN installed an AD BLOCKER, CC CLEANER, ANTI-VIRUS HACKING. HE SEEMINGLY CLEANED MY COMPUTER AND THEN INSTALLED A NETWORK FIREWALL, AN IP NETWORK ACCESS PROTECTOR. After I PROVIDED my credit card number for the charge of 299.00 I was told there was an additional fee technical fee of $120, that would be paid in 12 installments of 9.99, for a total of 420.00. I was so reluctant but thought I had no other choice but to proceed. Like another gentleman who was concerned about the legitimacy of this company, I am left wondering if they are a scam. MY INVOICE READ AM PC SECURITY, NOT RIGHTPCEXPERTS OUT OF TAMPA AND NEXWAY HANDLED THE TRANSACTION.

'Your account settings has been changes on Sunday' 😅🙅‍♂️
First let's ignore the spelling mistake in the title...in that email i got from a bot : title 'Re: Notification from Amazon - Your account settings has been changes on Sunday, 03. 2021. ETC: 88979234' and content: 'A‎ ‍m‍ a‍‍ z‍ ‍o͏ ‍n <................@............online> Sun 03/01/2021 22:52 amz Dear Customer, Wе havе placеd a hοld οn yοur Amazon accοunt and all pеnding οrdеrs. Wе havе takеn this stеp bеcausе thе billing infοrmatiοn yοu prοvidеd dοеs nοt match thе infοrmatiοn rеcοrdеd with thе card issuеr. Tο rеstοrе yοur accοunt, plеasе vеrify nοw with thе billing namе, addrеss, and phοnе numbеr stοrеd οn yοur crеdit card. if yοu'vе rеcеntly mοvеd, yοu may nееd tο updatе thеsе іnfοrmatіοns with thе card issuеr. ****Verify Account**** If wе arе unablе tο cοmplеtе thе vеrificatiοn prοcеss within 3 days, all pеnding οrdеrs will bе cancеlеd.

Thank yοu fοr yοur attеntiοn. Sincеrеly, Amazon Suppοrt.' 🤷‍♂️ i took a look at it bcoz i actually ordered something on Sunday, turns out not to be an actual notification, but a click bait~ A warning for all of you to check their emails not on a mobile device, you sometimes will not see the sender of the email, and thus the email will appear more convincing. This very email has yet been sent to 'customer@live.com' , which obviously is not me, in what way did someone manage to redirect emails is a puzzle for myself, but the fact remains it found it's way to my junk folder automatically. Well dome Outlook for categorizing it as junk, but not so well for even sending it to me 😑

Whenever I am writing in email, or other apps, I have a little circle under my cursor. I did not always have this and I am sure there is a setting someplace to eliminate it. I have the little circle right now.
