Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Online users are asked to stay away from the website www.pctop.co.uk. The website, which goes by the name "PC TOP", appears to be operated by cybercriminals who are attempting to trick online users into sending them their personal information via their registration page and credit card information on their checkoff page.
The PC TOP's website collects personal and financial information but doesn't offer a secure connection called SSL or TLS. This type of secure connection (https://) is mandatory for all e-commerce websites that collect sensitive information. And, if an e-commerce website doesn't provide a secure connection, online users should never shop on it.
For online users who have already shopped on the fraudulent website, they are asked to contact their banks for help. They should have their banks cancel the transactions made on the fraudulent website and refund their money. They should also cancel the credit card used on the fraudulent website in order to stop it from being continuously charged by the scammers operating the website.
