Pop Up Scams on Apple devices

Plugging in... 

Fellow Mac users, you know who you are, the ones who live with the belief that their computers are immune from viruses, malware and pop-ups, the scammers are back! Apple computers, iPhones and iPads are all susceptible to the scamming pop-up.

Apple has posted a lengthy but thorough discussion including various solutions should the Mac user fall prey to the scamming pop-up: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8071

Don't call them, don't click, what you are reading and seeing is totally FALSE; they are very good at what they do, and everything appears legitimate. Trust yourself. Don't go there.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, is it a SCAM, and is it turned on? 

Unplugged
