Have you experienced your computer, smart phone, tablet going crazy with visual and audio alerts and then you are contacted by someone that tells you that your computer is corrupted or has been hacked? But WAIT...they will fix it for you! They just need to scan your computer to see what is going on and then they tell you that you have numerous pictures of po*******hy or such.
If you allow them to scan you might be giving them access to you banking or card information if you have it stored on the device or they can tell you all of this and then tell you they are reporting to police unless you give them so much money or they lock it down and want you to pay to be able to use again.

Long and short of it...if something goes wrong with your computer only trust someone you contact to fix it, not someone that just contacts you out of the blue and never give them passwords, account numbers, etc.

A weather warning has been issued for this weekend, prompting a call for caution and vigilance. Due to the variability in forecast predictions, including the GFS and Euro model, the exact snowfall totals for our area remain uncertain. Official predictions will be provided by the relevant authorities. In light of the anticipated extreme cold, residents are urged to prioritize safety, minimize travel, and prepare emergency kits with essentials such as layered clothing, coats, blankets, water, and other vital supplies. To avoid accidents, reduce speed or stay home, and be aware of potential hazards such as falls, frostbite, and other injuries. When outside, monitor temperature and wind chill values, and provide warmth, shelter, water, and food for pets. Support is available for pet owners who require assistance, including straw and other resources. Also, with the cold temperatures be sure to leave faucets dripping to avoid water line breaks. Take care.
