Internet Security Alert! Code: 055BCCAC9FEC

[Nature100]

Got the Internet Security Alert! Code: 055BCCAC9FEC malware pictured below in Chrome. I kept it open and did the following:

Opened Malwarebytes Premium to make sure I had the latest Definitions 

Performed a scan

Nothing found.

 

WHY?  I had it open in a browser and Malwarebytes could not find it?

Similar to these ?

I have created a ¹series of videos generated from these fraud sites for the purposes of recognition and education.  They are all  videos from real web sites.  ALL are FRAUDS.

All these have one thing in common and they have nothing to do with any software on your PC.  They are all nefarious web sites meant to defraud you of money. The objective is to, falsely, goad you to make the phone call and pay for some service contract for an incident that never happened.  From there they may continue to charge your Credit Card for other services, remote into your computer and do real damage and/or exfiltrate your personal data and they may use the information they obtain from you to commit additional frauds.
