Protection Tips

  • No Unsolicited Calls: Bitdefender will never call or email you to claim your computer has a security problem.
  • Fake Alerts: Ignore pop-ups that require calling a number, as these are common tech support scams.
  • Check Information: Verify any suspicious message, link, or email using Bitdefender Scamio, an AI-powered scam detector.
  • Immediate Action: If you have provided account details, contact your bank immediately.

Protect Yourself

  • Use Scamio: Use the Scamio Pro AI tool to analyze suspicious links or messages.
  • Enable Security Features: Use Bitdefender’s Scam Alert for mobile to identify dangerous links.
  • Avoid Remote Access: Do not grant remote access unless you are sure you are speaking to a legitimate support agent.
  • Report Fraud: Report phishing or scam attempts to the appropriate authorities, such as the FTC in the US or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
