8. If you got a popup with a number to call, it's almost certainly a scam.

Been going around for a while now.

Do NOT call the number.

There are plenty of YouTube videos (various scam-baiters and scambusters) where they follow through and contact the scammers.

The popups would have probably gone away if you had cleared your browser caches when you rebooted.
