How to detect you are connected to a scammer
- Ask them which device you have giving them just your email address! Can't answer - scammer (Only draw back is if you have not registered you device fully)
- Support operative wants you to download computer sharing software - a definite NoNo
- Asks you to phone a particular number or asks for you phone number straight away - at the moment TomTom support staff are working from home so no phone conversations.
If you think you have been scammed
- Contact your card holder/bank to cancel any payments
- Update you computer security software and run a full scan
- Notify TomTom via @Luca with as much details as possible, including the website you went to
- Report your experience here so others do not fall into a similar trap
