We all get frustrated when tech lets us down. Maybe your printer vanishes, or an error pops up right when you need it least. In that moment, searching for help and calling the first 'support' number feels like the fastest fix. But you’re not alone—scammers know how to take advantage of these stressful times, often buying their way to the top of your search results.
Take a breath. It’s perfectly okay to double-check before you call or let someone into your computer. Go straight to the official website—like hp.com or apple.com—to find real support. If you’re ever unsure, reach out to someone you trust or ask an expert for a second opinion. Protecting yourself isn’t just smart—it’s something even the pros do.
