This is what I sent to the Australian Government Scam Watch site:
"Ease My Tech bring up a warning on my browser saying that Apple has detected a "**** virus" as shown in the attached screen image. The warning "freezes" any attempt to do anything on the computer. The number you are to ring (as shown on the attached file) is: 1800 649 546
This company passes itself as to mislead you to think it is Apple Corp. In fact it is a company that detects so called viruses and offers to clean your "Mac" and all devices for a charge.
The costs turn out to be A$398 with a supposed year's warranty.
It turns out that this also happens on PCs that carry Windows and it is a "Microsoft" warning. Indeed, there is discussion on the internet about the attached phone number.
Fortunately I was alerted to the scam and was able to cancel my Visa Card before any money was taken out. I have since received a new card and changed applicable security/passwords etc... I can no longer access Ease My Tech website on my Safari or Firefox browsers as a message states: "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access/on this server."
This makes it conclusive that it was a very clever, sophisticated scam where they ended up down loading an anti-virus program from what appears to be a legitimate business called Webfoot which is still accessible. They also have a Facebook page.
Therefore it would be in the world's public interest to stop these scammers from Ease My Tech. Alerting companies involved."
The site does not even exist now... until it resurfaces under a different name.... but I did record the original conversation with my Mac.....😉
