⚠️ Public Safety Notice: Ongoing Scam Targeting Local Families
Important Notice to Our Community
IT Tech LLC is issuing this public warning to inform visitors, customers, and the local community
about an active and growing scam operation that has already caused real financial and emotional
harm to residents — including members of our own family and client circle.
This notice is being published not for publicity, but as a documented effort to protect others,
raise awareness, and prompt action from authorities and media outlets.
What Is Happening
We have identified a recurring pattern of fraudulent activity involving manipulated investment
schemes and coordinated psychological pressure tactics. Victims are often gradually groomed,
misled with false assurances, and pushed into sending increasing amounts of money under the
pretense of lucrative opportunities or urgent legal/financial situations.
These operations are extremely sophisticated. They do not resemble classic “easy-to-spot” scams.
Instead, they are designed to build trust over time, exploit emotions, and isolate victims from
objective advice.
Why We Are Publishing This
We are making this statement public for three critical reasons:
- To warn potential victims before further damage occurs.
- To establish clear documentation that this threat is real, ongoing, and affecting vulnerable individuals.
- To call for intervention by law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and investigative journalism.
This situation goes beyond a private dispute. It represents a concerning pattern being exploited
to harm emotionally vulnerable and financially inexperienced individuals.
Impact
The human cost extends far beyond money. Victims commonly experience stress, shame, anxiety,
family breakdown, and long-term financial insecurity. In our case, this has directly affected
close family members and caused significant emotional distress.
Silence protects the scammers. Transparency protects the public.
Our Call to Action
We formally request:
- Increased regulatory oversight and legal accountability for such schemes
- Stronger enforcement and prosecution of identified networks
- Greater media attention to expose operational patterns
- Protection measures for at-risk populations
We are actively compiling evidence and cooperating with appropriate authorities. If you believe
you or someone you know has been targeted by a similar scheme, we encourage you to report it
immediately.
How to Protect Yourself
- Never send money based on emotional pressure or urgency
- Verify all investment platforms through official regulatory databases
- Consult an independent legal or financial advisor
- Report suspicious activity to state or federal agencies
Ongoing Updates
This page will be updated as the situation develops. Our goal is prevention, awareness, and
accountability.
If you are a journalist, investigator, or representative of an oversight agency and require
documentation or formal statements, please contact us directly.
⚠️ Special Notice for Seniors and Non-Technical Users
Please Read Carefully
Many scam operations specifically target seniors by pretending to represent well-known technology
companies such as Geek Squad, Microsoft, Apple Support, Amazon, or your internet provider.
These callers may sound professional and convincing. They often claim:
- Your computer is infected or sending viruses
- Your bank account or email has been breached
- Your subscription is about to expire
- Your device is part of illegal activity
Their goal is to pressure you into allowing remote access to your computer.
🚫 Do NOT do the following:
- Do NOT engage in long conversations with unsolicited tech support callers
- Do NOT install software like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, UltraViewer, or similar tools at their request
- Do NOT provide passwords, bank details, or personal information
- Do NOT allow remote control of your computer
Once access is granted, scammers can:
- Steal files and photos
- Access banking and email accounts
- Lock your computer and demand payment
- Install hidden malware for long-term surveillance
✅ What you SHOULD do instead:
- Hang up immediately
- Do not click any links or open attachments they provide
- Contact a trusted family member or local IT professional
-
If you are concerned, call your known IT provider directly using a phone number
you already trust (from a bill, business card, or their official website)
If you are unsure, IT Tech LLC offers free guidance for seniors to help verify
whether a threat is real.
Remember
No legitimate company will ever:
- Call you out of the blue to fix your computer
- Demand access to your device without your request
- Pressure you with fear or urgency
If it feels rushed, frightening, or secretive — it is almost always a scam.
