Eset: Support scams on the rise

Many have been writing about this topic lately, including myself and not surprisingly, as quick as we're having the domains and IPs nuked, they're bringing up new ones. My good friend David over at Eset, has thrown a ton of information together for you to digest - and if you've got time spare (or perhaps, meet with other parents when taking the kids to school or whatnot), see if you can have a competition with each other as far as who can warn the most people (offline of course, as these are primarily, telephony based scams).

It would be nice to see a guide how to distinguish between real online support company and fake one. Or some sort of checklist for users.
