技术服务的骗局数量在增加              

诈骗犯正在用一个新的方法欺骗别人。诈骗犯会伪装成受害者网络服务供应商的技术支持服务人员。这个新骗局是非常真实（狡猾）的，并且能欺骗高端有经验的网络用户。诈骗犯的目的是取得电脑互联网协议号码IP，这是电脑独特的网络身份号码。诈骗犯取得了互联网协议号码IP之后，受害者的电脑会弹出窗口消息显示网络服务供应商‘检测到恶意软件’。然后受害者可以拨打消息提供的电话号码取得帮助。网络安全公司‘恶意软件字节Malwarebytes’说：“诈骗犯想要受害者给他们打电话。事实上，受害者需要付款给这些骗子。”

‘恶意软件字节’Malwarebytes/网络安全公司说至今大部分的骗局在美国和英国检测到，可是在将来能传染全球。‘恶意软件字节’的恶意软件专家Jerome Segura告诉了英国广播公司（BBC）：“这个骗局给让我感到非常惊讶，几乎让我相信是真的。我看了一个来自我的网络服务供应商的网页（我看到网页里的ISP）说我的电脑感染了。我仔细地看过之后，就认识意识到是个骗局。”网络广告也被骗子给感染了。一旦你的电脑屏幕显示被传染了的广告之后，病毒就查出你的互联网协议号码IP。尽管你没点击广告，病毒还能查出你的互联网协议号码IP。‘恶意软件字节’劝告你如果获得这个网络安全消息，用你的网络服务供应商原来的电话号码联系他们，不要相信窗口上弹出的电话号。

Tech Support Scams on the Rise

Fraudsters are using a new method to trick people into parting with their money. They are pretending to be technical support teams of people's ISP (Internet Service Provider). The new scam is very realistic and can trick even experienced Internet users. The fraudsters are targeting the IP (Internet Protocol) of computers – this is a particular computer's online ID number. Once they have the IP, the victim gets a pop-up window with a message that says the ISP has "detected malware" on the computer. The victim is then advised to call a phone number for help. The Internet security company Malwarebytes said: "The scammers are trying to get people to call them. People are literally paying to be scammed."

Malwarebytes said most of the scams so far have been detected in the USA and UK, but they will spread worldwide. Jerome Segura, a malware expert at Malwarebytes, told the BBC: "It caught me by surprise and I almost thought that it was real. It was a page from my ISP telling me my computer was infected. It was only when I looked in closer detail that I saw it was a scam." The fraudsters are infecting online adverts. Once an infected ad appears on your screen, the virus works out your IP number. You do not even need to click on the ad for the virus to do this. Malwarebytes' advice is to call the tech support number you received when you signed up for the Internet, and to not trust numbers in pop-up windows.
