Anyone else asked to get on a Zoom call and the link secretly installs surveillance software?
Hi, I own a small dog training business and I have a website wherein people can email me. I offer a free in-home consultation to dog guardians who live within a particular boundary in my area. In the last week and a half, two different people have emailed me, asking for a Zoom consultation to evaluate their dogs for training. Both emails were worded similarly and didn’t mention their dogs’ names, breeds or ages. Each time I clicked on the links they sent, I could never get connected. The second person who wanted a Zoom consultation sent me a link in which I tried for hours to get connected. I finally looked up the link and it secretly installs surveillance software on a laptop or desktop computer. I’m relieved that my laptop didn’t connect using the link because I would have unknowlingly allowed someone to spy on me.
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you resolve it? Thank you in advance.
