As you can see, people behind this scam campaign are trying to convince you that something is wrong with your Internet connection and you should contact this toll free number 001-800-630-3153. In fact, this number is categorised as scam number, used to steal money, so it’s a clear sign that you should not call it.

Cyber criminals employed original “No Internet” message from Google Chrome web browser, to make it look more convincing:

They also identify operating system you are running and your Internet provider name, thus users with lack of knowledge in cyber security field can fall for this trick easily. If you do call that number, most probably you will be asked to pay for “tech support” that you will receive or install some kind of software into your computer. This “support” might also attempt to take control over your system remotely, to solve those problems and infiltrate malware or potentially unwanted programs this way.

We have seen spam campaigns like this in the past, such as “The Mercury Text Font Was Not Found” or “The needed font wasn’t found” scam and they all just try to make you call some kind of phone number.

Prevention of scam attempts like this is plain simple – just don’t follow any instructions that sounds fishy to you and came out of nowhere. Always use Google to confirm information and look for respectful sources to tell whether you should do something or no.
