Criminals are leveraging counterfeit McAfee pop-ups to deceive individuals in Pinellas County, Florida, by gaining unauthorized remote access to personal computers. Once control is obtained, scammers manipulate victims into transferring funds through bitcoin ATMs, purchasing gold bars, or withdrawing substantial cash amounts that are later picked up by couriers. One recent incident resulted in a financial loss exceeding $530,000. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office warns against sharing sensitive details online or by phone and urges residents to report any suspicious interactions. Pop-up impersonations, especially from trusted brands, are being weaponized to exploit individuals. Sheriff officials emphasize vigilance, stating, “We advise citizens not to give personal information or account information over the phone or computer.”
