It often starts with what looks like help — a pop-up warning on your screen, a phone call from “technical support,” or a calm, professional voice telling you something is wrong with your device. But behind that offer of assistance is often a carefully designed trap. In this episode, we explore fake tech support scams, where trust is manipulated and help turns harmful. You’ll learn how these scams work, why they’re so effective, and how ordinary people can protect themselves in an increasingly digital world. This isn’t just a story about technology — it’s a lesson in awareness, trust, and digital survival.
