READING:

Fraudsters have a new way to trick people out of money. They target your IP. An IP is a computer's online ID number. Then they send you a message to say your computer has malware. The message asks you to phone for help. They make you think they are the tech support of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Most of the scams so far are in the USA and UK. A malware expert said: "It caught me by surprise….When I looked in closer detail…I saw it was a scam." The fraudsters infect online adverts to find your IP number. The expert's advice is to call the tech support telephone number you got when you signed up for the Internet.
