How to Get Out



When a website has locked up your screen

How Get Out of Pop Up Scam 1

Explanation


 
How/why can they do this?

Hundreds of scam webpages are made every day to mimic popular websites like Amazon, and pretend to be corporations like Microsoft. When they are visited, they either trick you into entering your password into them (fake Amazon), or “lock up” your browser (in Full Screen [F11]), and mouse (they make your cursor invisible, but it’s still there).

They use genuine applications, and coding techniques for nepharious purposes.

As they are reported and taken down, the website is copied and placed on a new host and/or domain (web link).

Since reporting these sites doesn’t make a substantial impact, the only step is to educate the public about it so the scammers can’t manipulate more victims into sending thousands of dollars in the mail (wrapped in aluminum foil), or through Gift Cards.

Since the browser is the only thing that is locked up, not the computer, these instructions above are the easiest, and most likely to force quit the browser. If nothing works though, holding the physical power button is a good last resort. Never call the phone number that these pages present.

Prevention


 
Our recommendation to reduce exposure to these popups:

We recommend adding browser extensions as a middle-man between the user, and a website.
1. Malwarebytes Browser Guard (Download/Read More)
    (identifies and blocks most malicious websites)
2. uBlock Origin / uBlock Origin Lite (Download)
    (prevents intrusive ads, which are often the source of the initial click)
